So, in what is probably fitting for this unseason, the official start of the Pats new year is the news that Pats' "Pro Bowl" safety Brandon Meriweather may or may not have shot two guys in the face on Oscar Sunday. It's not a huge leap to imagine #31 getting into trouble. He's been there before. He's doesn't run a 4/40 in smarts. I think the most damning evidence that it was Meriweather is that both men were shot in the face but were not killed. If you've seen Meriweather line up a receiver for a big hit only to knock out his own teammate, well, you get that his aim is not so good.
Whatever the truth is behind the story (and it will be talked about over and over again on sports blab radio), my advice to Meriweather is to take the Marvin Harrison defense:
1. It was my gun.
2. I was seen holding the gun moments before the shooting.
3. I was seen arguing with the victim(s) moments before the shooting.
4. The shooting took place in the parking lot outside of the bar where I was seen drinking heavily all afternoon.
5. I had a grudge against the victim for years.
6. I didn't do it.
This was the former Indy star's explanation of why he was innocent in the 2009 shooting. The Indy Police Department's response: "We find no evidence that Marvin Harrison was involved in the shooting and are not filing any charges. Go Colts!"
We can only hope the police in Apopka, Fla., are Pats' fans.

The guy Marvin shot also survived. But when the investigation was heating up he was mysteriously shot again, this time fatally. Then the police declared Marvin free to lead his Walter White like lifestyle of owning car washes and shooting people.
Vofly... I like having you as my fact-checker. Let's negotiate a fee... ticket to a Pats game each year?
