Svitek has played in 61 games with 16 starts since being drafted by the Chiefs in the sixth round in 2005 out of Stanford. Kansas City released him at the end of training camp in 2008. He was out of the NFL that year, then signed with Atlanta on Feb. 12, 2009.

Wes Welker is a symbol of the Pats struggles

Via The Penalty Flag  |  March 18, 2013
Fresh faces are heading to the New England Patriots wide receiver core as Wes Welker gets used to the thin air in Denver and Brandon Lloyd tests the cold free market. The Pats and Tom Brady will have to get used to new players like Danny Amendola, Donald Jones and Emmanuel Sanders. It’s almost comparable to the 2007 influx of wide receivers like Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Donte...

Video: Tom Brady shows an Eastern Bunny how to piss off the other team

Or how to first pump. It's kind of funny that he says, "Do it right at the other team!" because that's basically what the Jets have been complaining about for years. They say Brady does that everytime they score a touchdown, taunting them. In their defense, that probably would get annoying when the Pats are scoring like six times every game. For more comedic...
