Mike Vrabel was contemplating law school before he got a call in 2001 from Bill Belichick...

Steelers head coach Bill Cowher told Vrabel that while he believed Vrabel would be a starter in the NFL, he wouldn't be a starter with the Steelers. Vrabel has since credited Cowher for his decision not to retire and sign with the Patriots. WIKI

Retrieved from Google Books, but everyone should buy 4 or 5 copies since it is the Christmas season, what better gift for a true Pats fan?

By the way Chris, that second quote is in WIKI, ASK.com and all over the internet, without attribution, only slightly changed from yours, where I assume it's from.
If so, you should contact someone and get proper credit. You still need to cite a paraphrase.

Thats Eric Moore who gets the strip.

My guess is that if he is active Monday night, he will go in as a run-stopping OLB.

Various online encyclopedia type sites have this quote. I could list ten, but they obviously derive from the same site and i can't find the original source. You say it's not true?

I should have said "considering" rather than going to retire, but until I find a better source I'll consider it a WIKI rumor. Of course you're implying that he never considered retirement so I'm wondering what evidence you have.

My bad, but still, I think he was pretty far away from retiring. It sounds more like frustrated about not getting his chance and considering his options.

I wouldn't trust anything on WIKI anyway, just a coincidence they decided to plagiarize Chris Price. Maybe Borges wrote the article.

Seriously though, my point wasn't about retirement, it was that a player who fit our system was stuck in a system where he was going nowhere. Obviously turned out to be a good player for us.

If the guys had 10 sacks a year and is a perfect fit, why would he be on available? This guy is Vrabel/McGinest size, seems to want to play ball since he's hustling in the UFL to keep his dream alive and could just be stuck in the wrong scheme as a 4-3 DE, or injuries or wrong team issues.

Of course I could be wrong, but BB will keep prowling to find another Vrabel type, I'm sure. Getting a big OLB/DE he can groom is so valuable, as we've seen the draft busts and expensive F.A. projects.

Woods was just awarded to Buffalo off waivers. Good for him, he doesn't need to go right back to landscaping.

Wonder if he'll have more impact than Merriman ...

Belly button lint would have more impact than Merriman.
