I can't rememer so much adversity affecting this team in one day. Baugher's assault, Rodney's suspension, and the "surprise cut" of Randy Moss that never happened, plus the rumors that wouldn't die.
How much of this garbage has been pushed because it is the Patriots? Would an undrafted rookie punter getting arrested for assault be news if it happened in Arizona? Would the media even dream of Randy Moss getting cut if he had been traded to Green Bay? If we found out that Will Depms had been taking HGH to recover from injury instead of Rodney Harrison, would anyone care?
It just seems to me that there are situations that were UNDER CONTROL in house, and the national sports media blew these stories out of the water because they effected Patriots players.
