I choose to read this latest Walllach item as being positive. I think it shows they are giving Brady's appeal a serious look. Still the odds are against them reviewing it en banc, but where there is hope.....there is hope.
As to our local Jet fan, I can't believe so many of you are pissed at him. Have a little empathy, remember after he leaves our site, he STILL has to follow the Jets.
So it he feels the necessity to associate with us to make his life more bearable, why shouldn't WE grant him the chance to, at least, it gives him the opportunity to see what it feels like to follow a team than hasn't been the joke of the league for most of the last 40 years.
Besides we shouldn't forget that for the first 20 of those years, WE were in competition with them for who was the joke of the league. As late at the spring of 2001 the well respected Pro Football Weekly published an article that listed the top 5 teams LEAST likely to be in the superbowl over the next 5 years, and the #1 team on that list was our very own NE Patriots.
Now history has obvious proved that article DEAD WRONG, but think about it. Back in the spring of 2001, if we are being honest, most Pats fans would have had little to disagree with that prediction. But even after 16 straight winning seasons, 9 AFCCG appearances and 6 Superbowl appearances and 4 titles, we would all do well to remember our rather humble beginnings every now and again, and perhaps be more forgiving our less lucky fellow fans.
