No, but sometimes I laugh at jackasses.While its nice to say congratulations here.....how many players do you think read this crap? Save it for when you see them in person. Most posts are questions/opinions based on what we get to see in our limited access. We often ask questions of others to see if they are seeing things the same, and we all develop favorites. Its our community, but dont fool yourself, the players arent part of it. If you watch Discovery chanel do you congratulate the Lion?? LOL

Apparently several players just didn't show the coaches they are worth keeping:
Welbourn, Flynn, Hobson, Bryant, Gutierrez, Redd.
Congrats to Lewis Sanders, Ventrone, Connolly, Guyton and CJ Jones.
Of course, these players are all still vulnerable.
you know what it is

Can I second that one?? I've lived throgh the entire history of the Patriots and it is a differernt and special time..and I think more should understand that..it's one of perspective..people who complain now are nit picking...and I can imagine where and what they'd be saying years ago..for instance the last time the Pats were 0-4 in preseason with Rod Rust at the helm. Many would not even be fans...there have been some tough times making complaining now almost laughable.How anyone can find something to complain passionately about relative to a team that has managed to win 80% of the games it's in played over the last several seasons is beyond me...
Players and their friends and families do lurk on these sites more than the overwrought bashers who call themselves fans care to think.
Fans expect all sorts of warm and fuzzy loyalty from players yet give little in return. The guys who cut or keep them at least respect the effort that it took them to get even this far. Less than 300 guys a season make an NFL roster in any way, shape or form.
Guys like Antwain Spann, C.J. Jones, Bam Childress who keep in shape, keep working hard, keep giving their all year after year just knocking on the door of the NFL deserve a lot of respect, IMO.
I'll second that second (is that a third or a fourth?).Can I second that one??

Hopefully they understand that most of what is posted here is crap rooted in football arrogance and ignorance, under the guise of some form of twisted passion for this team and the game. Still, knowing how foolish the people bashing you with such vehemence are likely doesn't take the sting out of what is said. Fans expect all sorts of warm and fuzzy loyalty from players yet give little in return.
