Express Yourself Through Haiku

Back on August 16th we were critical of Bill Belichick's plans to bring in aging safety John Lynch as a part of his new "Super Genius" position of Hybrid Linebacker ( a safety playing the position). We thought it was a bit arrogant and agreed with Colin Cowherd of ESPN Radio when he said that it was a clear example of BB buying into his own hype: the idea that he was so clever he could do anything!

The folly of the idea was proven when Lynch was continually exploited and ultimately cut from the roster. We mention it now for the following reason: our post elicited, of all things, haiku poems about John Lynch (see below).

John Lynch: A Haiku

John lynch was Samson
breaking down men like pillars
The Pats cut his hair

My reaction: A Haiku

I cry a dry tear
a great hero has fallen
wicked retahdid

We enjoyed the Haiku poetry so much that we thought all who attended the October 12th, 2008 game between the Chargers and Patriots should summarize their experience in the 5 syllable/7 syllable/5 syllable format. Encapsulate your experience in haiku....here's how we felt:

The Tailgate: A Haiku

Little Bill Slaughtered
Hasty decapitation
A lord of the Flies?

The Big Game: A Haiku

Genius Belichick
No Answer For The "Legend"
So Flows Our Rivers
