With no game this week, the moonbats and basement dwellers seem to be replaying the same tired rants about the local lightning rods. Well, here's a dose of reality, at least from my perspective ...
1. Bill Belichick is the single most valuable employee in the NFL. He is the best game planner, tactician, talent evaluator and motivator in the game today. He is also one of the select few who understands that the team that takes the field in September is not the same team that will play when the stakes are higher in December and January. Belichick and Pioli build the whole roster from top to bottom with that in mind. (It's pretty amusing to listen to Manning and the Colt media apologists moan about injuries in November. Hey guys, it's only going to get worse not better.)
If Belichick he were suddenly to become a free agent, everyone would be astounded at just how quickly the character assassination and holier-than-thou attitudes would go out the window and at how high the bidding would go.
2. Randy Moss the among the most uniquely gifted players I have ever seen. He has the best hands, feet and body control of any receiver possibly in history and his ball tracking skills are unparalleled. What people woefully underestimated is his desire to win.
Fortunately for NE fans, Belichick and Pioli make decisions based on facts, not press reports, rumors, anecdotes or emotions. The Patriots got this one right and 31 other teams were asleep on this player. And make no mistake about it - Randy Moss is a HUGE difference maker. Just ask Tony Dungy ...
