I wish the Boston sportswriters had a chance to listen to Peter King, on national TV between the wild-card games, dismissing the myth that BB was angry with Mangini for joining the Jets.

He mentioned that EM clarified to him earlier this week that BB had indeed called EM to wish him the best soon after EM accepted the offer. Peter King went on to point out that BB was indeed mad at EM for violating the unwritten rules of poaching players/personnel.

He gave specifics: (many of us fans know this but many of the Boston and national sportswriters ignore this) EM might have signed off Chatham whom the Pats were intending to sign and also could have played a role in interfering during the Branch negotiations. Interestingly, King concluded that the tampering charge that the Pats filed against the Jets "could have some legs". Let's see.

I think he meant EM.

Regarding the tampering, the Patriots wouldn't get anything but it would be sweet if The Jest had a draft pick stripped.

What the Jets also did is that Mangini had no intention of signing DB......all he wanted to do is drive
up the price,so he wouldn't sign back with the Pats.

Belichik took this personally,and I would have,too.

The local scribes love to picture BB as a paranoid taskmaster because he doesn't suck-up to them.

When,in reality,it's those overpaid buffoons(Borges,Shaughnessey,Felger,et al),who detest BB for not bowing down before them.

Mangini fired the shot to continue the "Border War",........Now,it's up to BB and the Patriots,to
finish it........On the Field of play,where it belongs.

Wouldn't it be sweet if we could get their 2nd rounder? Hey, they were supposedly willing to trade it for him. But if it has some legs what the heck are they waiting for?

How many Jets players and coaches did we sign while Parcells was there?

He's yet to prove he's a genius. Now if the NYJ win the SB then maybe you can call him that.

But a more fitting EG would be Evil Gasbag.
