I can think of some players.

Seymour
Bruschi
Vrabel
Rodney!

If we get Key, hopefully he will be like Dillon his first year here, shut up, know this is as good as he is gonna get it at QB, coach and ownership level, come out and play some ball.

I'd expect that discipline to come from Bill.

Don't forget, this is the guy who benched Seymour for being late, and that was because he was attending a death in the family!

The bigger problem you have to worry about with Keyshawn is the media pressure. Everyone is going to be sticking a microphone in his face, hoping that they catch him saying something out of line. If the organization can keep him away from the media -- as they seem to try to do with many of their players -- I think the risk of bringing him on board is far reduced.

I think he's a tough-as-nails receiver. Guys are out there trying to take his head off, and he doesn't miss a play. You can't even say that about our tight ends, who have some durability issues.

While I disagree with the intent of your post... that was damn funny.

I am just concerned with some of the vets leaving that a strong attitude like that will not be healthy...as I said..been a real pendulum..with it.

I agree...and we don't have Matt Chatam to whack idiots running around anymore.

Not trying to be a pr*ck, I'm just not a KJ fan. Great talent, just not a guy I can root for. I agree with GoWhalers, the local media would be goading this guy into saying something stupid at every turn. They'd be loving life.

BTW, GoWhalers. Heck yeah, Go Whalers!!!

Yeah, that's a valid point, because nobody is better at that than the Boston media. Then again, it might be fun to see KJ and Beisel tag-team a reporter... we might actually get some blood this time.

The Keyshawn "sweepstakes"? If so, I hope it's a sweepstakes we lose. Let MeShawn take his game elsewhere.
