I wish the Boston sportswriters had a chance to listen to Peter King, on national TV between the wild-card games, dismissing the myth that BB was angry with Mangini for joining the Jets.
He mentioned that EM clarified to him earlier this week that BB had indeed called EM to wish him the best soon after EM accepted the offer. Peter King went on to point out that BB was indeed mad at EM for violating the unwritten rules of poaching players/personnel.
He gave specifics: (many of us fans know this but many of the Boston and national sportswriters ignore this) EM might have signed off Chatham whom the Pats were intending to sign and also could have played a role in interfering during the Branch negotiations. Interestingly, King concluded that the tampering charge that the Pats filed against the Jets "could have some legs". Let's see.
