I've not posted enough to start my own thread, but I have posted in the past. I work in the media, and I noticed something before the draft in the last 2 days. Don Banks and Mike Reiss, on Friday, both started making more mentions of Jerod Mayo. Banks even put Mayo to Pats at #10 after a...

I would have started this on a separate thread, but you now need 50 posts to do so... and I don't have that many. Regarding ESPN's SportsCenter tonight, did anyone see what Michael Smith said? At the end of the show, Steve Young said, "Michael Smith's report still makes me sick to my...

Kraft and Goodell hugged on the field after the Week 17 Giants game. Goodell should not be a villain in New England. He did what he had to do to protect the integrity of the game. A memo went to every team. The Pats ignored it and got caught. They were arrogant. Goodell acted quickly...

Thanks, gang. I work in television and host a sports show. Those crappy teases kill me. I refuse to do them. Again, thanks for the quick response.

I was stuck in a sports bar and couldn't hear the top of the newscast story, but the on-screen graphics interested me. They asked, "Is Bill Belichick upset with Tom Brady," then they went to a long bite from Tom Brady's appearance on Dennis and Callahan. But I couldn't tell what the heck...

Re: TMZ.com has Brady Scoop Tom was actually at his best in the 4th quarter (stat-wise) after the injury. The only concern is mobility if the Giants crush the pocket. Screens, draws to Faulk, and runs with Maroney should serve as a good defense for that. No reason to freak out...

No head-butting in the tunnel prior to the game. Just walking out slowly with a glassy stare. No shoulder slaps or high fives on the sidelines. Just sitting, head down, looking miserable. This isn't an excuse for the guy... Brady can have a bad game, oh, I don't know, maybe once every...

There Will Be A Lot Of Talk 'bout Post-game Handshakes. Here's What I'd Like To See.

Whether it's the Boston media, the national media or some of us Pats fans, I keep seeing four things that I believe are pretty silly. 1. "It's Bill Belichick's last year." What part of the 2 trades into the 2008 draft don't folks get? The Pats have indeed loaded up this year. Perhaps...

Didn't realize I couldn't use a word that means "arrogant" and is spelled using the first four letters of another word for "rooster." Geez.

I believe this team still has: 1) some quickly aging linebackers (Bruschi lost a step last year and Vrabel can't be far behind, 2) a secondary that seems to take injuries every year (Harrison, Wilson, Gay), 3) a starting cornerback who may or may not even be with the team (at least...

Looks like the Jets and Patriots saw very little value in the 2007 draft. The Jets took the picks they did have, packaged them all up (except for a 6 and a 7), and got 2 players that should help them pretty quickly. Revis was the top-rated corner in the draft and Harris looks to fit...

What makes you think the Patriots will use a pick on Day 2?

Test Is this thing dead?

Drew Bledsoe was a class act. He became the face of the franchise at a time when they were losing, going through owners right and left, and rumors were swirling about moving the team. Kraft, Parcells and Bledsoe laid the foundation for what the team enjoys now in terms of a rabid fanbase, a...

I've posted this under another Kelley Washington thread, but here goes again: I work in the sports media in Knoxville and I can tell you Washington remains one of the least popular Vols in recent history. Washington WAS the story at UT, he was not a part of the team. Sort of like a...

Morgan has Hall of Fame states... Canton's Hall of Fame, not just the Patriots'. He's #1.

I work in the Knoxville sports media. I can tell you that Kelley Washington, while a good talent, was viewed as an absolute cancer on the University of Tennessee team. In fact, upon his departure, the coaches even talked about creating a "team" again and getting rid of "I, Me, Mine" type of...

Folks, like Ron Borges or hate Ron Borges, what he did was not that uncommon. I write for a newspaper and every sportswriter I've talked to today has said the same thing: "That's what a notes column is!" Read the notes column on a given Sunday around NFL cities and you will see many of the...

There are a lot of dumb posts by dumb people on messageboards. True fans and intelligent fans have to weed through them. But in the history of dump posts by dumb people, this is the dumbest. Take a look at the history of the Patriots prior to the Kraft family. How many wins? How...
