    BOTTOM LINE - Entering NFL Employees Have No Choice

    I'm sure you've heard this before, but I feel dumber from having interaction with you. Every football player has a choice for whom they want to peddle their wares. Like most jobs if you want to make the most money, you have to often sacrifice other things. 4 times I have explained this now...

    BOTTOM LINE - Entering NFL Employees Have No Choice

    No one is trying to "flex." Reading comprehension is clearly an issue for you. I had a choice to work for different employers and make more or less money. Football players have a choice to work for different leagues and make more or less money. Nowhere in either of my posts did I suggest...

    BOTTOM LINE - Entering NFL Employees Have No Choice

    My point is if you want to make the money you choose the NFL and possibly go where you don't want to go (as I would have had to go to Saudi Arabia if I wanted to make the big $). Alternatively they are welcome to choose a different league and make less money but exercise their freedom of choice...

    OT: Jack Edwards retiring.

    I know his style is polarizing, but I have an appreciation for Jack after meeting him in person through his wife at the gym I used to train in a few years ago. I didn't make a big deal out of it but told him that my then 13 year old son tuned in regularly to Bruins games because he found Jack...

    BOTTOM LINE - Entering NFL Employees Have No Choice

    They can go play for the Canadian Football League, the United Football League, and many others. My current job is in Connecticut. If I decide to take my talents to Saudi Arabia, I can earn 5x what I earn now, but I have to go somewhere I don't want to work. If you want to earn the big money...

    Tom Brady ‘wouldn't be opposed' to NFL return, mentions Patriots -- DON'T NEED A QB ANYMORE!

    Interesting debate about Walsh vs BB for greatest GM. My .02 as someone who has great respect for Walsh is you have to account for the fact that BB did it in an era where player movement was rampant and the salary cap existed. Walsh didn't have to deal with these things so building and...

    Tom Brady ‘wouldn't be opposed' to NFL return, mentions Patriots -- DON'T NEED A QB ANYMORE!

    Different opinions but that's OK. I for one would not want to see Brady finish his career floundering around like every guy (including Manning) who stayed way too long. Part of cementing his legacy as GOAT is leaving people believing he could have won even more titles. After 7 rings and a...

    Tom Brady ‘wouldn't be opposed' to NFL return, mentions Patriots -- DON'T NEED A QB ANYMORE!

    What would you say if Manning tried to come back now? As for the color spot, I don't need my color guy to be super entertaining. I just need him to know the game and not annoy the crap out of everyone. I think Brady can fit that bill.

    #1 WR? Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo anyone?

    Both of these guys are nice players, but I think people would be frustrated if they expected either of them to be a true #1 WR. I love Deebo, but his skillset matches the 49ers system and the players in that offense. I don't think it would translate well into the Pats offense as currently...

    How To Blow the 2024 Draft

    You brought up the odds, I merely responded. Nowhere in my post did I suggest success was merely a matter of statistics. All I did was correct your statement. Zero interest in fighting on a message board. What they've done in the past has no bearing on the chances of their pick hitting...

    Tom Brady ‘wouldn't be opposed' to NFL return, mentions Patriots -- DON'T NEED A QB ANYMORE!

    We are talking about the GOAT, so you can't compare it to the other guys. To me being considered the greatest at anything is very precarious, and would be a legacy that would be easy to fall from, especially if Mahommes continues to win rings. If he goes to a loaded team he could be carried to...

    How To Blow the 2024 Draft

    The Pats have put themselves in an awful position where they have so many holes it almost doesn't matter if they draft QB or WR, it will be a likely major improvement over other alternatives on the current roster. I will nitpick at your statistical statement. The odds of hitting on the QB...

    Tom Brady ‘wouldn't be opposed' to NFL return, mentions Patriots -- DON'T NEED A QB ANYMORE!

    Please don't. Retire with grace, don't tarnish the legacy. Tom will be an excellent TV guy. Coming back to the field just reeks of desperation for attention.

    What Are Chances Patriots Make Splash Trade For Justin Fields?

    In Madden World I would love this. However, this team is so inept offensively right now that it's hard to believe JJ would even remotely approach his career numbers. This team is nowhere near sniffing a Superbowl or even a playoff berth. I like Fields but I know what he is, and I believe the...

    Patriots new OC - Alex Van Pelt

    I'm definitely less knowledgeable about Van Pelt than others here, but it's hard to ignore the comedy of injuries on the offensive side of the ball in Cleveland. The fact they were actually able to piece together a playoff team out of the rubble speaks volumes to me about the quality of the...

    Where's Bill?

    It's sad to see all the negative PR towards Bill, but not surprising. One of my least favorite things about being a Boston fan is this. I'll never forget the team and media attacks on Francona after he left the Red Sox. By all accounts a standup guy and the guy at the helm during the greatest...

    NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2023 Conference Championship Games discussion thread

    I'm late to the conversation and not going back to read 80 pages of thread, so sorry if this has been posted. There will never be another team like the Pats over the last 20 years, and never another QB like Brady. I've always balked at the comparisons, but it was hard not to see it yesterday...

    Bill Belichick Appreciation Thread

    So that's it? I'm right there with the belief that Brady was the best to ever play the game. But Bill was the perfect coach for Brady and for those teams. I think it's a shame to not recognize that because things didn't end well.

    Bill Belichick Appreciation Thread

    It isn't so much that there's more to be said, but I've seen threads miles long thanking departing players. I know BB's legacy has been tarnished the last couple of years, but there isn't any way the Pats have 6 rings without him. He was already showing his greatness as a DC for the Giants...
