One of the reporters referred to him as having "badly bruised ribs". Which would make the above statement true.

Some of you need to quit making stuff up.

I think that you have nailed it. BB is going through a self destructive stage right now.

I got a phone call from a guy from Foxboro who told me that people have been very alarmed about the way Belichick has been acting this year. It's almost like he wants to lose.

OK, the phone call wasn't from a guy from Foxboro. But, he has been through Foxboro a couple of years ago. And, he didn't actually hear that about BB and was making it up so he could screw with me. Now, prove that it isn't true.

You know that doesn't sound probable, but it does sound possible.

Most rookies that Belicheck drafts on the offensive sided of the ball do not get a lot of playing time their first season.

I didn't say everyone of them started I said they got playing time and Samuels did make a few starts as a rookie and was pretty much our NB and he played in all 16 games. Givens basically played as much as CJ has this season and Branch had 43 catches his rookie season.

Bottom line if they are good enough and they show enough understanding of what their responsibilies are, they will play.

I wonder if he'll end up on the IR next.

Don't take my comments so seriously. It's a guess, that's all. My guess is as good as yours. Read my comments again, I said "IF".

When Branch was a rookie, he had a productive first half of the season. After that, he tired out and was completely non productive.

I think that BB realizes that if he overplays some of the rookies, then they may be all tired out for the playoffs. I think that CJ and LM will see more playing time now and through the playoffs.
