There is a list for you.

By now we all realize that you are obsessed with this analogy. You need to move past that game, for you have not contributed anything meaningful to the board since then.

The top 3 deserve the accolades but Kraft being left out is nothing but disrespect unless I missed something here.

Bowden hasn't won three titles. He only won two.

I liked this part from the sub-section on the right. "ESPN.com surveyed NFL head coaches for their take on a range of issues, including the league's smartest offensive player (non-QB), smartest defensive player, dirtiest player and which owner carries the best reputation among head coaches. Thirty-one of the 32 coaches participated on some level.

Guess which coach didn't participate. Don't give those hacks anything Belichick. I love it.

It must have been a slow sports day because they pulled their "Lets bash the Patriots card"

Journalistic talent at its finest!!

I love this from the box on the side of the article:

Quote:

ESPN.com surveyed NFL head coaches for their take on a range of issues, including the league's smartest offensive player (non-QB), smartest defensive player, dirtiest player and which owner carries the best reputation among head coaches. Thirty-one of the 32 coaches participated on some level. Thirty cast votes for smartest defensive player and the owner with the best reputation. Twenty-nine cast votes for the smartest offensive player (non-QB). Eighteen cast votes for the dirtiest player. Each head coach received anonymity for his candor. Next week: Coaches weigh in on officiating.

I have been racking my mind for the last hour trying to come up with the one head coach who refused to participate in ESPN's stupid survey. For the life of me I can't think of a single head coach who would refuse to participate in something for ESPN.

I think you have a big bias here. Other coaches polled are not going to put up any of the Patriot players, especially in the wake of an almost perfect season where they were accused at times of running the score up, spying on defensive signals etc.

I would take Bruschi as one of the smartest defensive players over Zach Thomas or Ray Lewis. I was surprised how high Randy Moss rated on smartest offensive player article. And as a Homer.. I would put Troy Brown as one of the smartest all-around football players out there, even if he didn't get much playing time last year.

I really don't see this being an ESPN conspiracy, but more just other coaches just wanted to ignore the Patriots because they are probably sick of them, pissed at them, etc.

In 15 -17 years that Kraft has owned the team he has been to 5 SB and won 3 of them he has like 10 division titles as well and what 3 maybe 4 losing seasons. Jerry Jones on the other got his three and what since?

ESPN hates NE so much it's hilarious....

It would be my wish that NE grants no access to ESPN, interviews, pre, post game nothing, not a sniff.

I can't speak for any of you but I love to be hated by ESPN, the self proclaimed World Wide Leader in Sports....
