I know for a fact, that some former players (and their families) have, so I assume others do.
I also know that the organization monitors all media and are indeed mindful of what is being said or felt by us. Responses given later to many questions posed prove that.
I think we should figure out a way to send some serious well thought reactions, feelings, and overall feedback to what we see and hear.
I would love to send a message to BB that we appreciate his great work throughout the years, hope he stays here long term and really are well aware of the bizarre unfounded, unfair and cruel shots taken at him by certain media folk.
I would love to remind Mr. Kraft that his saving this franchise will never, ever be forgot.
I would love to know that Mr Pioli knows that his loyalty to a team and a system and an organization is a rare thing in this day and age and also very much recognized and appreciated.
Just a few thoughts of mine that I would like to see the Patriot family confirm back to us that they hear us, we are part of things and maybe simply acknowledge our presence, this would also be quite rewarding to most of us.
I doubt Pioli, BB or Kraft have the personal time to waste on message board monitoring but the organization certainly monitors all of the media pulses including the internet. Players likely lurk when they are bored, and their friends and family when they are curious about how their son, brother, pal is being received. Which is why Ian periodically reminds us that it is so, and he would know, in hopes that we would be mindful of that as we rant, kvetch, criticize, lambaste, etc. Not that it resonates with those inclined to namecall and bash or those inclined to believe that we just might know a thing or two more than they as professionals do about how a football team/game should be managed.
Great post, fgssand! I agree with you completely, & wish I could phrase your thoughts half as well as you.
threads like this come off as a self-indulgent attempt to pretend like we matter.
we don't matter, and i hope no one of any real significance would take a site like this very seriously.
Speak for yourself. I matter to my family, friends and clients!
If they visit here at all, I'm sure it's for comic relief after a long work day.
"Hey Scott, check this out - they think we're after Lance Briggs now!"
"Nice find, Bob - have they decided that you've spent to the cap yet?"
"Nope. I'm still a cheapskate. Oh, and my macaroni company is going bankrupt too!"
"You guys have it easy. Looks like I have another girlfriend this week "
"Me too, Bill. At least my rumors are about supermodels. Hey look, pictures!"
"Josh, did you read this cutting-edge critique of your playcalling in the AFCCG? Hahaha, at least they stopped thinking the Vinnie was whispering the plays to me on the sideline"
"No, missed that, I have that guy on my ignore list..."
