Dear Buddha,

It isn’t all that often that I write to you. I hope you aren’t offended. But, you see, when things are going pretty well for me… well, you know.

The thing is, I need to ask you for a favor. Please Mr. Buddha, do not let Troy Brown sign with Manginai and the Jets. Troy is a Patriot. Not just any Patriot, but possibly more Patriot than anyone that has come before him. In this age of free-agency, salary caps, and prima-donnas mugging for the camera, Troy Brown has been unique. He has signified everything that is right with pro sports, and none that is wrong. He is selfless, hard working, and humble.

He is a Patriot.

For him to end his career as a New York Jet would be … well, would be just plain wrong.

Please, Buddha, don’t let this happen. Talk some sense into Troy.

Oh, and I am still waiting for my pony and plastic rocket ship.

Thanks,
Colin
