I just sent Ryan an e-mail for trotting out his annual "BB needs another SB win to be considered legit" column. Once a year he dusts it off and has it re-printed. Tired, out-of-date pap. Feel free to say good morning to Bobby Boy if you wish at ryan@globe.com.

Leave it to the local media to 'support' its local team. Here in the bay area I cant hear one talk show or read a paper where they want to take their team down.
Now hopefully we can pass jay glazer today without any pats related controversies which always seem to rear its head when pats are in the big games.

Yup, and the CHB submitted a column that could stoke up Flacco and the Ravens with his Tom is the best ever.

Thanks for nothing, Boston Globe.

And yes, please do e-mail Ryan. He often writes back. And he's as sanctimonious in his e-mails as he is in his columns.

There is no doubt that BB's legacy is secure here and secure with every intelligent, objective football fan across the country. Another super bowl will only strengthen it. However, I for one am sick of hearing about spygate, and sick of having the haters throw the fact that we haven't won a superbowl since. I think we fans need another super bowl win to silence the haters.

Watching NFLN and they were discussing Brady and Belichick's legacy and everyone gives props but as except faulk and he points out its all brady and bb's record in cleveland was not good. Then Eisen says "is this the only reason you root against the patriots?" I assume a spygate/rams loss reference. Irvin says something along the lines of haters gonna hate man.

They can all hate. I'm a fan of this football team. I enjoy it when they win. They've been consistent winners despite many obstacles since the turn of the century.

BB is the best head coach. That is why he still has a job while so many others don't. Every single fan of 95% of these teams would gladly trade for this type of success.

I want to win. That is all. Class, friendships, stories - all that is BS. And useless. I have friends and family in my life - on Sundays, I'm not looking for friends, I'm looking for wins. BB wins. Game over.

Overall, I think Bob Ryan was a great columnist. But his bit about Belichick is so idiotic. What I particularly hate is that he seems to imply that "other" people need BB has to win another Super Bowl for his legacy, not realizing that it's his own damn columns that are most vocal about it. Not sure if that makes sense, but it drives me crazy. If he took the opposite viewpoint, it would be helpful.

i think both Belichick and Brady are the GOAT but for the national media and the country it will take that much to be in the discussion and more to end it. If they both get 2 more lombardi's then there shouldn't be a discussion, however there will still be those who wean to trot out the unbeaten in the SB argument, which is bullsh.t because losing Championship games doesn't make a player or coach better, which is really what they are arguing. Montana was 4-3 in NFC Championships, Brady will be 6-1 in AFC Championships if they win today, and 4-2 in the SB if they win their next 2 games. 6-1 in Conference Championships and 4-2 in the Bowl is better than 4-3 in Conference Championships and 4-0 in the Bowl. And that doesn't even include the many other categories where Brady will have the edge over Montana
