Some People Play Too Much...the WEEI Edition

Every now and again I reflect on those among us who play too much...people whose shenanigans, statements or actions reflect their disregard for common sense...or just generally amuse me.

Yeah, I have a pink hat, and what? You wanna make something of it? For those of you in the cheap seats,“pink hat” is a derogatory term for female sports fans who are assumed to be uneducated about their team or bandwagon fans. I actually have three pink hats (Sox, Celts and Pats - the Bruins are a lost cause). You play too much if you think a cute hat speaks to my sports knowledge.

Manny Ramirez…We see you, but, guess what? The Sox made the playoffs last night. So you and Joe Torre run along now. Red Sox nation has NOT forgotten about your shenanigans and if you think we have, you play too much.

Eric Mangini is a snitch. And if you think he's not, you play too much. The only reason he knew what was going on was because he used to and I bet still does the same thing.

Roger Clemens was disappointed that he was not recognized at the Yankee Stadium ceremonies. *chuckle* Really? I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t be. He plays too much.

If Randy Moss thinks he can come around with a funky attitude or any of his other histrionics and Belichick is going to put up with it, he plays too much. I hope he continues to drink the Kraft kool-aid and tows the line.

Is Paul Pierce STILL celebrating the Celtics victory? Quit it out, Paul, its time to train. Don't disappoint me and play too much! I’m all for celebrations, but its time to start the quest to defend the title.

Matt Cassel isn’t Tom Brady. If you think he is, you play too much.

But you can’t blame Cassel for this week’s loss to the Fins. The defense was playing entirely too much … actually, they weren’t playing AT ALL. If they were, they would have stopped Ronnie Brown, at least ONCE!

Brett Favre plays too much if he thought the JETS would get him back to the Superbowl.

The Red Sox make the playoffs…the Yankees do NOT. If you think the tide hasn’t shifted since 2004…well, you play too much.

Jamie Silva made the Colts roster. Those of you who didn’t believe play entirely too much and those of you who don’t know who I’m talking about don’t like a good local kid made good story.

Ellis Hobbs didn't like that fans booed or left early on Sunday. Oh really? Apparently he's never tried to get out of that parking lot after a game. And you know what? He plays too much if he thinks the team's play (or lack thereof) didn't deserve some display of disgust.

38-13. It was one game....Its not over. If you think it is, you play too much and probably wear a pink hat.
