Yikes...my nickname for him after the '04 World Series (and
I'm a Red Sox fan) was LaLoser but hey, he's had a long career with many successes. And he's pals with Belichick too IIRC.
C'mon now Tony, don't be like a Kennedy.

Looks like a typical 'Rat campaign contributor to me. Well, maybe a little sharper.

Asleep at a stop-light. What's the big deal? OH...the light was GREEN. Oopsie.

Ok kids I'm hungover. Who here knows what that means?

He missed the signal to steal home and got caught in a rundown.

This would be an easy case to defend--they didn't even get him in a moving violation.

Perhaps going chest to chest with the judge and screaming obscenities about the lousy call will get him off.
