The best (worst?) part he says is the following:

8. Peyton Manning will have his best postseason thanks to the league's recent rule change that allows quarterbacks to handle the balls prior to games.

So that's what the problem has been all this time..!! It's got nothing to do with a guy who consistently chokes in big games - it was the balls..!! Now he's a-gonna' win 4 Super Bowls..!!

EDIT: I swear I made the above post before reading what T-Shirt Dynasty said in this very same thread. He and I are on the same page to such an extent it looks like I am just copying him. Rather, it is simply a case of great minds thinking alike

Classic, simply classic.

Incidentally, if Peymeytons balls are too slick maybe it's because he *****s his pants before every playoff game.

He don't know me very well, do he?

The funny thing about the Paymetons comment is that it was a non-issue last year! The new rule only applies to the visiting team, the home team has always had their own balls... it's just now that the visiting team gets to bring their own. Paymetons was at home last year, with his own balls, so what (cough) was (gasp) the (sputter) problem?

Ummm, what Pro Bowlers have we lost?

PromisedLand

To be fair, both McGinest and Vinitieri have been Pro Bowlers within the past 2-3 seasons. Ty Law, whom we lost after the 2004 season, was also a Pro Bowler this past year. All of them have multiple Pro Bowls on their resumes.

BUT (as has been said here zillions of times before):

Willie McGinest. Born: 12/11/1971 - age 35 - left as free agent for more money.
Ty Law. Born: 02/10/1974 - age 32 - left after being released for cap reasons for more money.
Adam Vinitieri: Born: 12/28/1972 - age 33 - left for ???. Is a KICKER.

The Patriots know that to stay great, you've got to cycle the roster from older, declining players to younger, up and coming players. Too bad the media types don't understand this.

2. The truth is that Nick Saban, who learned NFL defenses under Belichick, will catch or pass the Patriots in the next year. If Daunte Culpepper continues to make his miraculous comeback from triple knee ligament surgery, the Dolphins could catch the Patriots this year. The Patriots are showing signs of slowing down, even though they should win 11 games with a much easier schedule than they had in 2005. Except for Tom Brady and Richard Seymour, the Patriots' roster is running out of Pro Bowl-caliber players. In contrast, Saban is assembling a big, physical team and has a quarterback in Culpepper who can compete with Brady. Saban surprised many by winning nine games as a first-year coach. Coming out of LSU, Saban was about as sure a lock to be a successful NFL coach as we've seen in the past 10 years. He's bright. He's tough. He devises winning game plans. He's building a winner in Miami. The Dolphins-Patriots battles should be good for years with Belichick and Saban going at it. Saban can't get too lax, though, because the Patriots had a good draft. If Miami slips for a year or two, the Pats will be back challenging for the AFC East.

The Pats are slowing down? How? Prove it to me. Didn't the Pats also win a Super Bowl without pro-bowl caliber players. In fact I think you could argue they won two without pro-bowl caliber players. Oh why do I bother reading idiots like this?!
