The craziest thing about this article is : he signed a five-year, $6 million contract
Man, if that doesn't prove times have changed, nothing does.
Is there any organization with a more uncertain future, with caretaker owner James Orthwein suggesting that he might move the team to St. Louis or sell it to someone who would move it to Hartford , even as various proposals are made to build a multipurpose dome in Boston ? This is the challenge of NFL challenges.
What operation in all of professional sports has more troubles than the Patriots ? He is inheriting an outfit that finished 2-14 last season, next to last in the NFL in total offense, 19th in defense, 27th in that important category of takeaway-giveaway, dead last in yards penalized. He has left the pleasant confines of NBC to deal with this multihorned monster. Is there any team that has had a more convoluted recent history than the Pats, ranging from total ineptitude on the field to near bankruptcy off it?

new version of that old thing quoted above said:What operation in all of professional sports has more success than the Patriots ? We have an outfit that finished 18-1 last season, first in the NFL in total offense, 4th in total defense, +20 in the important category of takeaway-giveaway, first in yards penalized. Is there any team that has had a more storied recent history than the Pats, ranging from total dominance on the field to model franchise off it. Is there any organization with a more certain future, with great owner Bob Kraft adding onto the state of the art open air stadium. This is the franchise of all NFL franchises.
No.
Patriots fans know that it was Zeke Mowatt that turned around the Patriots.
