I think I really like the newest Patriot.

The defensive lineman acquired yesterday afternoon at the NFL trade deadline from the Philadelphia Eagles is already practicing with the Patriots. He was pretty excited to join the team, in fact he stood up on his chair in front of his locker and told the media that it was a dream come true.

Don't believe me?

Isaac Sopoaga, standing on his locker chair, was overjoyed to be traded to the Patriots, calling it a "dream come true."

Oh he was also so excited he sped the whole way here from Philly, roadrunner/fast and furious style. He can get away with that, obviously, because he's Samoan.

Sopoaga on yesterday: "Doing my own Fast and the Furious thing on the highway, even though it was only a 50 (mph) speed limit. ... (cont)"

Sopoaga (cont): "But us Samoan people, we go double the speed limit. I was going road runner speed."

I respect a guy that will stand up on a chair and admit to a group of assembled press that he willingly broke the law. I really respect that.
