PATRIOTSFANINPA

Larry Foote said this in an interview on Sirius NFL Radio today ..

While this is true that Detroit and New England both missed the playoffs I think Foote is a bit ridiculous to compare these two teams as similar - A team that went 0-16 to a team that lost their starting all pro QB and just missed the playoffs at 11-5.

Dumb comparison IMO - Just to make a point that he was not crazy to join the lions and back up his new team which will probably not be much better in 09

Now I'm glad this moron got nowhere near our team.

BB probably hung up the phone when his agent called so this is his little atempt at revenge.

I see no problem with what he said, you guys are so sensitive.

I agree. He wasnt taking a jab at the Pats. He was just trying to explain that 0-16 - 11-5...it makes no difference if you both miss the play-off's, the season is a bust.

"Yeah, my team blows chunks and someone must have slipped me a mickey for me to sign here.".... Is that really what people thought he was going to say publicly, in any manner?

Best left to say something like "Well detroit went 0-16 and missed the playoffs but 20 other teams did as well" ... That would be more appropriate than to put NE and Detroit in the same sentence.

Steelers and ex-Steelers are always saying ridiculous things about the Patriots.

While it may be true that they both missed the playoffs, the Patriots were in fact, FAR better than the Detroit Lions and only a game worse than his former team in the regular season.

"New England was no better than Detroit,they missed the playoffs too"

My only problem with that is this highlighted text - If he does not know the difference, then he's got issues with math - last time I checked 11 is always greater than 0.

What caused him to mention the Patriots? Did he get an offer from us and turn it down? Or did he get no offer from us, despite his hopes?
