I was reading a story about Jeff George's attempt at a comeback and scrolled to the bottom and found this.

Bill Belichick wasn’t at the owners meetings to see the mob scene around his former offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, as reporters probed for answers about the new Broncos coach’s fractured relationship with franchise quarterback Jay Cutler in the wake of an aborted trade for ex-Patriots backup Matt Cassel. Yet Belichick, in a phone interview with foxsports.com’s Alex Marvez, did concede that the reason he took less than perceived value for Cassel in a trade with the Chiefs was a desire to clear salary-cap space as quickly as possible. I’m thinking he and his boss, Pats owner Robert Kraft, weren’t especially broken up about the collateral damage – and I’ve asked Steve Miller, in a reworking of his ’70s standard “Take the Money and Run,” to expound upon my conspiracy theory:
This here’s a story about Billy B. and Bobby K.
Two powerbrokers searchin’ for some cap space
They had the greatest passer in the human race
And an expensive backup that they were lookin’ to trade
They caught the Chiefs in, ooh, a big lasso
Said, “Make a deal, cause we don’t want no hassle”
Scottie P. sent a 2 for Vrabel and Cassel
Billy B. took the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Joshie Mack is the new sheriff of the Rockies
(clap clap clap clap clap)
Ex-Pats assistant, kinda young and cocky
He thought his quarterback was sorta sucky
He makes his livin’ off of Pat Bowlen’s stock, B
Brian X., whoa, called up Tampa Bay
Billy B. caught wind of it and Josh got played
They leaked the story, hey
That Cassel got away
Jay Cutler went south and they’re still laughing today
Singin’ go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run (oh Lord)
Go on take the money and run (hoo hoo hoo)
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
