Re: Michael Silver (Yahoo): A Growing Disconnect Between Brady, Patriots
This article should really be called A Growing Disconnect Between National Mediots and Local Beat Writers.
It's frustrating, as a fan, who probably spends 20 hours a week reading/thinking/talking about the Patriots to read something by a national guy and just know its 100% conjecture - and not just that, but 100% BS.
In an age where we have 3-5 updates a day from Reiss or Breer about this team, it's hard for a national guy to sneak uninformed, tired crap like this past us like this.
I mean, really - how bad is Michael Silver at his job? If I can work a 9-5 job and still have time to read every Reiss/Breer piece, he couldn't find the time to do so before writing an article on the team they cover? Hack.

F Michael Silver. The next piece he writes worth reading will be his first. This worthless hack is nothing more than a pro-jock, anti-management mouthpiece, just like his illegitimate cousin Dan LaBastard.
Re: Michael Silver (Yahoo): A Growing Disconnect Between Brady, Patriots
I just love this part:
Last February, five days before the Colts’ Super Bowl XLIV defeat to the New Orleans Saints, Indy owner Jimmy Irsay said of a contract extension, “You know it’s going to get done. I think it’s clear, and we’ll start on it this summer. … And it’ll be the biggest [contract] in history; there’s not much doubt about that.”
Contrast that with the comments Kraft made to reporters in March at the NFL owner meetings in Orlando about a potential Brady extension: “Great things happen in life if you’re flexible and not rigid. … We’re balancing a lot of different factors in an unknown environment. We’re not sleeping. It’s just complicated.”
Irsay's style of negotiation is to drop his pants, bend over and wait to see what happens. Pretty astute business man, especially in light of Manning's desire to personally account for as much of salary cap (whatever form that takes under a new CBA) as possible.
Kraft has taken a more measured public posture and, not all that surprisingly, the Patriots will likely be more cautious than others here. Still, at least for the time being, Manning's in the same situation as Brady - no contract after 2010. Maybe Peycheck feels better because his owner is an idiot ...
Re: Michael Silver (Yahoo): A Growing Disconnect Between Brady, Patriots
I just kind of perused the article because it just wasn't going anywhere. In fact, I really don't know or don't care how it ends. However, I feel Brady should be the highest paid player in the NFL. Despite him not having a "Brady" like season, he is still the most feared QB in the NFL.
