I always liked Damien Woody. It's too bad he went for the money, but I guess you can't blame him when he got the most ever for an interior lineman.

Belichick is a genius!!!!! He knew back in 2003 that this would happen!!!!

Alot of sprains are worse than breaks and tears.

Woody was a good player for the Pats, but the Lions made an unbelievable offer, I don't recall the exact figures, but eveybody knew it was too much, including BB

Thanks - I guess it was up to BB on whether those figures were kosher, and he didn't think so - the cap hit on the first year of Woody's Detroit contract was significant
