Ditto. And while Law signing with the Jests is a disappointment, it doesn't have the same sting as, say, Damon going to the Yankees.

Let's see on Thursday. Hope he confirms your doubt and not erase it!

I believe the weight thing is a dig on his "gotta feed my family" remarks. Also the fact is sat out more than half of this season implicates game condition, not just general physical fitness. True or not, it is pretty amusing.

Or vinatieri to the Colts.

Ty Law can play both safety and ornerback , 2 areas of critical need for the Patriots.

Looks like the Patriots FO was outmaneuvered, unless they truly believe he sucks and is done

Seems like this will give the JETS a big emotional lift

Word on the street is that they went hard after Hall. It's had to ignore the fact that he went to college near Redskin's land. That's hard to overcome. As for Law, you have to wonder if a 5'11", 253 LB Cornerback that hasn't played since last year, and has spent more time at Donut World, than he as at World's Gym, is somebody in high demand

.

I'd love to see Lard........I mean Law try to cover Moss on Thursday.

He won't make much an impact Thursday, if anything, he'll be a liability in pass coverage.

Personally, I think he's talking out his rear end and that he was never close to signing with the Pats. He just used the Pats for leverage against other teams. Like he did when he signed with KC.

I completely agree. It seemed that Law took things very personally his last season here, if not as early as Milloy's release, and probably vowed then not to ever re-sign with a Belichick-led NEP. He's a cold-blooded mercenary who also carries a grudge, and could not care less about ending his career where it began, and likely becoming the all-time Patriots leader in career INTs, because having a place in team history doesn't, you know, feed his family.

Just as I wish nothing but bad things to happen to the Vinitraitor for the rest of his life, so too do I wish those same bad things on Ty Law. I hope he tears both groins on the very first play from scrimmage.

My guess is Law is into theater for purposes of marketing himself. The whole "Belichick is a liar" (and being insulted by a $6 million deal and more than he got from the Jets and Chiefs in the end) vent struck me as disingenuous and an attempt to leverage the team using fan reactions. That is why he said he "loves the New England fans" (or words to that effect - I gagged a little when I read that spew and do not want to toss my cookies by reading it again for an exact quote) again - this might come up again next year if he does not pull a Duane Starks with the Jets so he does not want to burn that bridge.

While I would have liked to see what he could do here, the routine is getting tired. I'd now love to see him chasing after Welker, Moss and Gaffney all night Thursday after they introduce themselves to him properly.
