Default Would we give Branch a standing O?

They did it for TO in Dallas. I would not give Branch an ovation standing or otherwise.

He signs - I love him...YES.

He holds out then he sucks.

That's the way it works for me.

If he were back by next week,and stood at the 50 yard line and gave a heartwarming speech how how big of a #$#@ he was and that he is sorry and under no way in hell would he act that way again.Yes..But seeing as that won't happen..HELL NO

Booing scenrio #2.....He signs but then doesn't play up to the amount of money he is now earning. Seriously, this is all about business. When the business part is over and he is on the field, no sense in booing if he is helping the Patriots win. The guy is not TO (at least not yet). As to "they did an ovation for TO in Dallas"? That's Dallas. I wouldn't want TO on my team and I don't care what that meant in extra losses. There is only so far my -want of winning over everything else- goes.

Why does he deserve a standing O? His team mates have been sweating their azzes off for the past two months while he worries about how he's gonna feed his family on $6 Million a year...No way!
