Should I go on? I am not happy about the Patriots problems, but there are plenty of teams with their own problems.

Holding out and complaining happens. We're talking crimes and more importantly criminal charges. So far this year, we're pretty high on the list of players getting in trouble with the law. This is this year and does not include Kaczur:

How did you determine that we were pretty high on the list?

I see no evidence of that at all.

In fact, Faulk took a drug test and came up clean. There are no charges pressed against him.

So, so far, we have Kaczur and Andrews getting in trouble with the law. 2 players.

In previous years we've had one player MAX.

This team is SQUEAKY clean.

I guess I don't get your original point. I guess you were agreeing with me rather than arguing which what I assumed.

This looks like it could be ten times worse for the Cowboys than any of the problems with the Pats:

Granted no Cowboy or any other NFL player are probably involved with the murder, but the ones who bought steriods from Jacobs (who refused to name names originally) could be called as witnesses in any murder trial.

I'm talking about in the five months since last year ended, we have two players in trouble with the law. That's a whole lot compared to our past years and more than many other teams so far this year.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN Patsgo!!

This board has more than it's share of members who have come to love controversy and even "gossip"...yuy, you heard me right, I said "gossip".

You know, the stuff that only pussies like to talk about. Well, we've sure got our share of gurlie-man pussies around here I guess. You can watch them all circling every single time there's a "possible story". They get all excited and start doing their own investigative work like making phone calls and such to all their "connections".

Look!!!

There they go again circling around Nick Kaczur!!

As a true Patriots fan, I always knew it was impossible for us to have "better" character guys than the other teams. We were just lucky for a while. Personally, I don't care if our guys act any "better" than other teams guys cause they're not any better.

You might want to look at this post again and re-think your position.

We always have bad luck because people find negative things to say about us all the time. Why don't they leave us alone.?

i don't mind them compare us to somebody better. When they compare us with some crappy team or players, i'm speechless.

When you're on top, you have to get used to this stuff. I'd rather be under constant attack on top of the leauge than be on the bottom and left alone!

What's wrong in New England, as seen by a Steelers fan.

Well, they could use a little help in the linebacker corp. The current linebackers are grizzled hard and smart veterans, but age may be catching up with them. Some injection of youth to spell some of the vets on 3rd downs and later on in games that the Pats have in hand, will do wonders for the longevity of their success in the 2008 season.

The Secondary could also use some better talent, as the loss of Asante Samual could be a major loss for that defense. However if Rodney Harrison is coming back, his leadership could be enough to keep the NE Defense among the best in the league.

Offensively, they Still have Tom Brady under center, a very good strong running back in Maroney and the ever reliable Faulk for those key 3rd down plays. Also, Moss is still on the roster and as long as he demands double teams, defenses around the league will be in trouble.

So what's wrong with New England...they are on my schedule again and they are still the team to beat in the AFC, that's all I see wrong.

But its easy to sell papers and have people read your articles when you are talking about something that touches on the negative emotion held by fans around the league.
