Default The Old Guard

I think the old gaurd feels threatened by the "youth and exuberance" of the "new posters" (technically I'm not a newbie, but what the hell I'll play along). I emplore all of us newbies to come together and make our voices known. Let the "Old Guard" know that even though we love our Patriots and it's leadership. We will not blindly go into the night. We will be opinionated and every now and again disagree with some of the moves the Pats make. We will not be dogs lead on a leash, but we will be those with opinions that cheerish good dialogue and great correspondence.
Let us live by the creed "In Bill we Trust, Sometimes".
Come join me in my quest to bring democracy to the Old Guard.

The irony of this post is that you were worried about the Pats getting rid of the "old guard".

No way. None of this guy's posts are NEARLY long enough, and our old friend Bsam couldn't use the smilies to save his life.

Hold that thought. I'm going to get a beer and some popcorn.

Angry Obviously a recent fan of the Patriots

Someone that can't compare the despair of years gone by with the minor perturbations that we are experiencing.

Take the time to revel in the excellence of our organization and don't sweat the small stuff. Someday Tom Brady will retire and Bill Belichick will retire and then you can get nervous and whine and complain.

Yeah, we all just pick on "newbies".

Obviously you never heard of NEM.

But it's obvious you have found your little theme for a crusade to gain notoriety.

It's alright pal, at one time we all mistook "shortsightedness and ignorance" for "youth and exberance". It'll all make sense one day.
