A.D. talks "sorrrrry" - Extra Points - Boston.com

I know that it must suck that your source is off the team, Shalise, but this constant ball-washing of him, and now of another failed vet "leader"(snicker) in Springs, is getting tiresome almost to the point of serious reputation damage.

Those who understand what it takes to win here, are staying; those who don't, are leaving. Why don't we just admit that ADT & Springs fall into the latter category, and leave it at that?

Pathetic.
These 2 vets were paid big bucks with the expectation that (1) they'd play to the best of their ability and (2) that they'd exhibit vet leadership. They took the money, more than most here earn in a lifetime and they failed to deliver on both points. Dead to me.

I tend to agree with the poster...nothing worse than hearing about EX-Patriots...one who disappointed many of the fans, both ON the field and with their attitudes. There ARE reasons why they are "Ex"...and really, it's teh bottom of the barrel to continue hearing about them. MOST fans Don't CARE SMY about either..Just more evidence about jock sniffers going after the negatives..and how OUT OF TOUCH the Globe staff is. Continued pitiful reporting.

Either she's a pawn forced to deliver the negativity they think sells papers, or she has no idea what Patriots fans want to hear, which is the door slamming behind those two.

Sucks either way.

Oh well. The Globes coverage is just pitiful these days.

Love this line

Trouble is, it may feel different, but it pretty much looks the same as you did when on the field

Stan, just keep in mind SMY actively reads and occassionally posts on this forum.

Thomas said it is a "different" feeling being unemployed, but "you pray to God and let him handle it."

hopefully, god can send him a winning lottery ticket so he won't starve.

I mean another one.

Idk where all of this drama is coming from. I read the article and I didn't see her defending these guys at all. This is probably just a snip of a longer interview she had with AD during on of the slowest parts of the offseason. Get over it.

All the more reason to let her know that most of us don't care about Thomas' BBQ.

Given that neither player is likely suiting up for the Patriots this year, I don't see the need for an article about AD and Springs. How much interest can there be in these 2 ex-players and in what happened in that one minor incident? Isn't there something, anything, else worth writing about? It does appear that SMY is carrying the torch for AD. Why? Not sure why she feels the need to explain or defend him.
