Wes Welker: Butt Of A Cruel Yet 'Sweet' Joke

by Bruce Raffel on Feb 7, 2012 6:00 PM EST

Pawngo, which bills itself as "the first online pawn shop," delivered a 900-pound"gift" to New England Patriots WR Wes Welker today in Boston for his Super Bowl 46 performance. To the delight of passers-byers, 900-pounds of Neslte Butterfingers were dropped in the center of Copley Square in Boston.

While New York Giants fans celebrated their victory at the Parade in New York City - Boston locals got a 900-pound sweet surprise courtesy of Pawngo in the center of Copley Square in the heart of Boston. 900 pounds, or 8,000 bars of Nestle Butterfingers were piled high with a sign titled, "Thank you Wes Welker" - making everyone on the area stop to take pictures, grab a bar, and have a laugh.

This is just messed up

Everything that guy has done for that team and city, and he gets this kind of treatment? I can understand if it was a underachiever (Lee Evans) but we are talking about one of the top 5-8 WR in the league.

Fell bad for him. Not sure why NE fans think the game was over had he caught it. There was 4:00 minutes left when he dropped it.

Patriot fans suck.

that’s not the team or city that did this shit. It’s some company trying to get pub…and it worked.

What?

Welker catches that ball and NE is on the 20 yard line and up 17-15. It’s not 100% guaranteed, but I certainly think it’s reasonable to assume the chances of the game being over are pretty good.

Scenario 1 – Chew up 2 or so mins by getting a first down at the 10 and score a TD, 24-15. It’s a 2 score game for NYG with ~2 mins remaining.

Scenario 2 – Chew up 2 or so mins with a first down (or not) at the 10 and kick an FG, 20-15. They could also take a delay of game penalty on rth down to chew up more. NYG needs a TD to win it.

Scenario 3 – Chew up time and turn the ball over, still 17-15. NYG has a long field to contend with.

You could argue the percentages, but I think 1 & 2 are very plausible; points are great, but time is also very valuable (or lack thereof). A game doesn’t come down to 1 play, but I think it’s fair to say if Welker caught that, the chances of the Patriots having an SB parade are far greater.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

People put that on Welker

but it’s not like Brady put it right on the money. If Joe threw that pass, people would be shitting all over him and never mention the WR.

Agreed

Not well placed by Brady. He normally rifles those instead of floating them, but JPP had batted down 2 earlier passes. A perfect storm, I say.

that means we should have at least 1,800 pounds of cow shit dumped on City Hall for Gee Evans and Silly Cunsniff.

welker should put his magic flute back in his pocket and hide from those witchy poo fans. good thing he can literally hide under a rock.

Is nothing compared to your own…Tebowed and time to shred the payroll. Is Wallace in pitt next season

nothing compared to our own? Lol….you guys actually thought you had a winner this year. No sane Steeler fan thought we did. You guys took on the personality of your whiny bitch of a coach and it showed when the chips were actually down (and by chips actually down..I mean..in a game that mattered…not week 9) Yep…our down year, we went 12-4….your “Super Bowl” year…you went 12-4…AWESOME FOR YOU!

Here’s another thing for you to swallow. The Ravens are 16 years old, and have 6 losing seasons. The Steelers have had 7 losing seasons since 1972.
Our defense may regress, and may be old. But our offense is young and has nowhere to go but up.

And Wallace will be back…if the FO thinks he’s worth it. They have a habit of getting rid of players that fans think are worth keeping, but they don’t. Then they get someone to replace him, and a year later, everyone is saying “wow…they are genius’s” (example…the moves that replaced Santonio with Antonio)

More importantly though….how are you coming along on your mock drafts? Tell me…first round…QB or FS? You still won’t answer…typical of a scumbag know nothing like yourself.

Oh, and I asked our front office about Wallace. They just said to tell Evan Skev that he’s a loser, and his knowledge of football pales in comparison to his knowledge of whether or not a customer needs a refill. And even that knowledge sucks, and that’s why he’s a 41 year old waiter.

How'd that "Sweep" work for you guys this year?

…got you into the playoffs, given the games you blew against lesser teams, but we made it as well, despite the sweep. And before you comment, it doesn’t matter whether you lose the first playoff game, or the Championship game, if you don’t make it to the Super Bowl.

It doesn’t matter to you and Ricky Bobby. I’d rather be in the final 4 than last 12. We also got an additional 4 quarters of entertainment.

"Is nothing compared to your own…"

If you think that seeing my banged up team lose a playoff game when they had no chance of going farther is worse than you watching your team completely implode like a bunch of incompetent bums, than by all means, keep thinking that.

At least I know my team can get over the hump. Can yours?

To Be Accurate

Baltimore has four NFL Championships: 1958 (the “Greatest Game Ever Played”), 1959, 1971 and 2001.

And up until a few years ago, only one behind Pittsburgh. Regrettably, we are now two behind P-burgh.

yeah that's great

My original point, which was only to taunt the purple chihuahua, evan, was that no one knows if the current ravens team can win a world title. The 2001 team and certainly the 1958 team have nothing to do with that.

That said I’m not on here to taunt the ravens right now. That would be foolish. I just wanted to join in the laughter at the patriots.

How puzzling that mr “says nothing” has nothing to say to that. I never would have expected that.

Are you out of recycled phrases? Easy to do when you have a ten word vocabulary.
And yes, I do want fries with that, and my Sprite BETTER not have any ice in it.

You chastise me for utilizing proper grammar and using “big words”, then you criticize Evan for his ten word vocabulary…

Lol. I wouldn’t say that I chastised you for using big words alone. More so for thinking that you used them when they were inappropriate just to make others think you are of superior intellect. (not that you aren’t, just thought at times you were using 10 dollar words when 2 dollar words were more than adequate)

But assuming what you said is 100% correct, isn’t there a place in between?

As far as updating my meds, are you a doctor? Mine kind of sucks. He keeps suggesting some strange things. I would drive to wherever your office is if you could help me.

Brady's throw could have been a lot better.

It’s not like he had to squeeze it into a tight space, Welker was wide open. But alas, it could never be Tom Brady’s fault. I actually think Brady is the reason why the Pats lost, and for the majority of the playoffs, the Patriots won in spite of Brady’s poor play. And please, before any of you whiny ass Pats fan goes on about poor Tom’s non-throwing shoulder boo boo, go shoot yourself in the face.

Also, why even pass the ball deep in that situation, should have stuck with a high percentage short pass (Brady’s bread and butter) or the run so the clock kept running? It’s not like it was 3rd down. Sure, if Welker made the amazing catch that could have been the game. But he didn’t and shouldn’t be the goat of the game.
