I dogged him early in the season. He's been making those few short yardage opportunities, blocking like hell and just being a versatile all around good players.

Two thumbs up for improvement and desire!!

I totally dig heath as a fan, but he kind of pissed me off scoring td's because I had brady, morris, and maroney on my fantasy team.

Pats are dirty, Pats cheap-shot, etc.

Naturally this little quote gets buried in the media pile, but I think it says a lot about Evans (and the team), who has done a lot of great things for us this year.
Sadly, this has been a season for the media to pimp all the negatives in New England, rather than pointing out all the positives.

I don't know, call me cold-hearted, but I'd rather players not help the opposing team in anyway.

I remember when Ditka was coaching he had a rule that you couldn't help opposing players off the ground. I agree with this.

You figure you only have so much energy in the tank, why waste even a little of it helping a 250 lb guy off the ground?

Not to mention you lose 5-6 seconds getting back to the huddle.

In a game of inches, every second and ounce of energy count.

In general, I think that such a rule is fine. The difference here is that a player was clearly injured. I think the "golden rule" applies here: winning is important, but if someone is in a position to help out someone who got hurt, I'd expect them to do so (so long as they're not putting themselves at risk in the process).

I love Heath. In fact, that's another reason I want this win so bad. So here it goes.

Reason #6231 - Heath is a nose to the grindstone, lunch-pail type of guy that didn't bicker at contract time, gave the hometown discount, is an ultimate team guy....... and he deserves a ring.

And--for better or for worse--he wants to bring the goodness of Dunkin' to the deprived folks of Alabama, liberating them from the dominion of Krispy Kremes.

I think specific Pats have been hilighted, but I haven't seen anybody accuse the team of being dirty. In fact, I thought some of the Chargers even said that.

But Heath did a good thing there, and I'm proud that he's a Patriot that is about to get a ring.

That wink was classic.

Good to hear the praise for Evans from Mitchell. Good stuff there. Appreciate the praise youve given here for the guy, because I appreciate the tremendous play he's brought to this team. He's become the classic Patriot baller. Solid and unsung.
