May be the most successful player to have left the Patriots to be as successful on another team during Krafts ownership.

Congratulations on a wonderful HOF career should go out to the Pittsburgh Panther RB with leg problems coming out of college that no one wanted to take a chance on except for Parcells keen eye back then.

Curtis is beloved by fans in both Boston and NY, a feat no other athlete in my memory has achieved. That is a tribute to his sincere, humble yet fiercely competitive character. Equally at ease on the mean streets of the 'Burgh as in the art galleries of NY, where he became one of the most notable private collectors in the sports world, Curtis has long and successful careers behind and ahead of him. Martin is Canton-bound, without question.

Shame he couldn't go out with a ring on his finger (not with the Jets, of course). Hope Canton is a nice consilation prize.

Yes, would've been nice for him. Oh well. Antowain Smith gets one (by which I mean TWO) instead.

Not sure why people like this guy so much. He's nothing but a traitor who conspired with Parcells to shaft the Pats. I'm glad he never got a chance to wear a ring.

Lay off the crack, okay?

Curtis Martin was a standup guy during his time in New England. Just because he went to the Jets when he couldn't get a deal done with the Pats doesn't make him a traitor.

A truly great runner I realy enjoyed watching him carry the ball in NE. It was amazing sometimes running threw close to the entire opposing team.zig zaging as he went along. One game in particulare he reminded me of ORR skating threw a whole team. I wasn't sure we should have resigned him listening to the prospects of his groin surgery. As a jet he drove us crazy trying to stop him.
