Yes he did - but not from us....does it hurt, YES, were we right to not sign him for that kind of money, YES. We are fans, BB is the leader.

I respect BB even more now because he will not allow emotion to interfere with winning championships. He is following the successful Patriot model to the letter.

Had we overpaid for Givens, Willie and others and finished 9-7, what then??

This sucks, but I agree.

Willie was one of the guys who got this whole thing started. He will be greatly missed.

I thought the Pats might give him a 2-yr contract, but you can't blame Willie for going after 12Mill, or the Pats for moving on. For me, Willie leaving the Pats is like when the Sox let Pedro go.
