But he was just a good player who showed flashes of greatness in 2005/2006. Never became a star TE. I'm so used to ex-Pats leaving the team and fading quickly. Glad he is still playing and doing well though.And Ben Watson still is playing. It's kind of sad he didn't last here.

I also wonder if Champ wishes he would've signed with the Patriots that offseason before the season. Because if I remember correctly, BB had pursued him during free agency and he even visited Foxborough. Had he signed with the Pats and not the Donkeys, he more than likely would've been the missing ingredient for the Pats Superbowl woes and he could really go by the name of Champ.
My bad. For some reason, I thought there was a time that Champ Bailey visited or had conversations with NE as a free agent, but opted to sign elsewhere.That's a nice narrative, but he was traded by Washington to Denver for Clinton Portis. Denver did not acquire him via free agency.
A game that also featured a call against us for "face guarding," a non-existent penalty...We were royally screwed on that play. Incredible hustle by Ben Watson.

That penalty call (2006 AFCCG) haunts me. That was a Lombardi, unless you think Rex Grossman coulda beat the Pats. And it gave the five head his only ring. Haunts me.Was that the same game, Deb, or are you thinking of the 2006 AFCCG loss at Indy?
In that game, Ellis Hobbs was incorrectly penalized for face guarding on a good play. As we know, the NFL issued a formal apology a few days after the game.
It's possible that it occurred in both.
