This year they have started to play a foghorn sound when they want the fans to get loud. It's the same noise they make at B's games when they score a goal. They also have these video clips they play on the scoreboard of Pats players telling you to make noise. Traffic is going to suck...

I thought the crowd was fine from my seats in 329. They certainly weren't dead, but they weren't terribly loud either. I wouldn't put any weight into what the TV/Computer might show. The few times that I don't go to games we flip between the radio and TV audio and the radio is always...

I don't care that Bay and Damon took more money - all the power to them. What I really don't care for is Damon doing EXACTLY what he said he wouldn't do: go the Yankees and not take the highest bid. Then he cries foul that the Red Sox didn't show him any respect. All the Sox did is what the...

Lowball? The Sox offered him 4 at $40M and apparently didn't get the chance to counter once the Yankees entered the picture. Call it a "smear campaign" but that's not an insignificant offer. I don't care for Damon because he's such a hyprocrite. Apparently, the Red Sox showed him no...

I hope so because I'm going to be out of town. I think the only real challenge to the Pats was Colts/Texans. I don't believe CBS has a 4pm game.

I second that. Thanks for the read.

I love Vrabel, but he shouldn't be on the list. I can't come up with many guys off the top of my head, but Keith Bulluck definitely comes to mind. Ward shouldn't be there either. Either Harrison or Torry Holt. I see Rodney and Dawkins as similar players. Dawkins probably wins out...

Re: Want to Feel Better? Just Remember 2005 Last night, the Pats gave up 480 yards in a loss to a powerful Saints offense televised on ESPN. In 2001, the Pats gave up 482 total yards in a loss to a powerful Rams offense televised on ESPN. Obviously, some different circumstances in those...

Sums up my thoughts. We're way too spoiled.

Re: Want to Feel Better? Just Remember 2005 Sure, we can face it, but I can also look back at the past 2 playoffs and realize there's some hope for lower-seeded teams. All you need to do is make the tourney and anything goes. Let's take this season one week at a time. The Pats will...

Re: Then vs Now: The Ring Years vs 2005 and Beyond My God, guys. Why are we writing the epithet already? This is a team that went 18-1 two years ago. They went 11-5 with an unproven QB last year. People on this board are acting like we're about to go 8-8. We lost by one point to an...

Yeah, I mean, I still don't agree with the decision to go for it, BUT I definitely understand the line of thinking. I'm not terribly upset with the decision. I will say that I do not understand the general media's perception that the sky is falling. For Pete Prisco to equate this call...

I think I'll categorize this as "teams that bother me the least" 1) Saints 2) Browns 3) Seahawks 4) Niners (my dad lives out there) 5) Lions

1) Colts 2) Jets 3) Dolphins 4) Giants 5) Steelers - I don't mind Steelers fans if they're from Pittsburgh. They seem like knowledgeable folk. I don't care for Steelers fans that have no connection to the city/team. Oh, and Hines Ward is miserable.

Fortunately, this is the last year of the current NFL scheduling system. If the current system is renewed for another 8 years, I would guess that we'd go back to the 2002-2005 scheduling to start 2010 (i.e. the Pats are at home to play the team in the AFC South with the same spot in the...

Awful is pretty strong. B's are at 95% paid attendance this year. NHL Attendance Leaders - National Hockey League - ESPN Granted, actual attendance (and this is purely a guess on my own end), is probably around 75%-85%. I know that NESN's hockey ratings are up (don't have the exact number)...

Hockey has certainly had a tough go of it since the lockout. While certain bigger markets seem to have strong followings, the popularity still seems to lag a little bit behind other sports. However, hockey has seen a big uptick over the past couple seasons. (See Update: Impressive Growth of...

Dude, give it up. No one here will deny that your defense has improved. The Broncos have played well. At the same time, you won one game on a hail mary, and you beat two of the 3 worst teams in the league. It really is that simple. Everyone here is giving the Broncos credit for beating...

Agreed. For someone that lived in Baltimore for 4 years, that city gets a bad rap. I loved it there. And "The Wire" is fantastic.

Had the Vrabel call not been made, the Pats would have an additional minute to play with (I think the Jets ran three plays after the penalty: a run that was stopped, the penalty to Sanders, and the TD) so I don't think it's fair to say the same thing would have happened.
