Ty Warren + Vineyard = Big Fish

Patriots Lineman Catches Mass State Record Fish

Usually, Patriots defensive lineman Ty Warren catches quarterbacks. There are several advantages to this. It pays better, there's no catch limit, and they tend to smell like Giselle Bunchden.

However, a man needs a little variety in his life. Henceforth, we bring you modern day Renaissance man Ty Warren. Already among a 300 person elite in his specialized field, Ty now grabs a fistful of rank in another realm: sportfishing.

Ty was out with Hairball Charters off of the Vineyard this weekend, and he hooked up with a 61.3 pound mahi-mahi, which is also known as a dolphin fish. This bodes very poorly for Ronnie Brown and Chad Pennington.

Ty now has a million dollar contract, three Super Bowl rings, and a state fishing record in perhaps the nation's most nautical state. Much like another famous Boston sports star/angler named Ted Williams, one sport just isn't enough for my man. He's richer than you are, too... and can most likely kick your ass, as well.

The best fishing story I know involves the Colonel, who cast a line off the seawall in Duxbury during a full moon tide. Leaving slack in the line, he then backed through our yard into our living room (which had sliding doors). As he watched the Patriots, his surfcaster started wobbling. He had a striper beached in no time, thus being the only person I know who has caught a fish from inside a house.
