Woes for Patriots RBs (past or present) carrying over to off-the-field now
By Paul M. Banks
It was a very bad year to be a New England Patriots running back last season. The Pats’ “starter” Laurence Maroney (a 2006 1st-rounder out of Minnesota) was benched and presumable sent to Siberia after fumbling near the goal line the Jaguars.

Now I know what you’re thinking: “when you meet a girl named Desiree, typically she’s more the kind of girl you give lots of singles to in a club around 3 a.m. than she is the kind of girl you want to marry.” What can I say? I guess Corey was never able to find a stable, wholesome woman named Krystal, Raven, Tiffany, or Lindsey to settle down with!
