The worst has been confirmed for Patriots running back Stevan Ridley. Ridley tore both his ACL and MCL during yesterdays game against the Buffalo Bills.



Through six games, he has 94 carries for 340 yards with a pair of touchdowns. Ridley is in the final year of his rookie contract, possibly meaning he has played his last game as a New England Patriot.

The bulk of the carries will know be shared between Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden and James White. Bringing rookie running back Jonas Gray up from the practice squad is also a possibility.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
