Who To Root For in NFL Week One
By: John Morgan

The Patriots don't play until Monday night, so Pats fans will have plenty of opportunity to view other games until then. With that in mind, here is a guide as to what teams Pats fans should be rooting for - or to be more precise, which teams Pats fans sho...

I don't know if I should feel honored or pissed that John Morgan has decided to take the idea I had for a weekly post on Patsfan.com last year into a blog article this year. But one thing is certain it totally confirms what I have known for a long time...That for the most part nobody in NE sports media community has ever had an original idea, but simply come to this board for story ideas clean up the spelling and grammar and publish it as their own original idea with no attribution to where the idea came from.

Hoodie my man. Just post your EXCELLENT weekly Rooting column here this week. Then the nonsense will stop. Looking forward to reading you and telling you where you're wrong.

Atlanta at Chicago, 1:00 PM
Falcons (-3); o/u 40½
I suppose we should root for Foxboro South, the team with Scott Pioli and Matt Ryan. Interesting side note: though they will not be on the field at the same time, best friends and former Patriot starting safeties James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather will be facing each other for the first time in their NFL careers.



I didn't know Pioli was in Atlanta? This guy has some good info!

Nah. I had no problem adding my thoughts to this thread.

What are the games that interest you this week

But it would have been nice if John Morgan had at minimum attribute this story idea to something that was on the forum last year.

It would also be nice if he could get his facts straight regarding where Scott Polio is the GM, Scott is one of my reasons for rooting for KC over Bills has nothing to due with the Bears /Falcons game.

Hawks and Chiefs both have feathers and both teams are for places in the US so it's easy to confuse the two.

I would be pissed if I were you. Isnt there a sticky on the board about how you can't quote from somewhere else without giving proper attribution? And yet, they take your idea and dont even give you any credit?
I come on this board frequently (rarely post, tho) and especially late in the year, your "who to root for" is usually a thread I check out. When I came in today, I saw the thread and saw it was from patsfan.com and I thought...whoa, Grey Hoodie got a new gig! No lie, I thouhgt, geez, I wonder if he gets paid to do that...
And yet, its a total rip off and not a very good one at that....I didnt click on it out of principle, but...Pioli in Atlanta???
I hope you do yours anyway...I will accept no substitute.

Exactly my thoughts. The hoodies weekly threads were always a must read for me as a regular lurker here. If I were you I'd be pissed.
