.....but I laugh my ass off every time I read it................!!!!

On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second-best tackle in the draft in Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.

Anyway we could Sticky the entire paragraph so it is the first thing you see when you log onto the message board.

Freaking first rate.

This quote is like a fine wine. It only gets better with age especially now that Koren Robinson may be suspended for the season and David Terrell is ...does anyone know where David Terrell is?

 

[PatsMan26]

He is trying to make the roster in Denver

Here is one more to keep this thread going -

"Could it be that future generations of Patriots fans will be telling their grandchildren about their team winning their lone Super Bowl back in 2001, only to banish their best player to a divisional rival less than two years later, thus initiating Milloy's Curse? - George Kimball, Boston Herald, 9/11/03"

Heres a little snippet from the link I just posted...

So, lets get this straight: Borges admired the intelligence of Patriots fans back when they supported the team through its lean years and rooted for players like Drew Bledsoe, who many believe was Borges� inside source during the quarterback's years in New England.

But once Bledsoe was traded and Brady ascended to become one of the premier sports icons in the nation, those same football fans suddenly became idiots� and drunks�

Possibly the greatest and most ill-said quote in NFL draft history. If any 'new' fan wants to know about Borges, this quote perfectly sums up his complete incompetency.

one more borges-

"Belichick will not be so lucky. He doesn't have (Jimmy) Johnson's personality, which can be as jovial and charming as a snake oil salesman's. Worse, this Patriot team isn't going to win two Super Bowls any time soon... - Ron Borges, Boston Globe, 11/22/01"

If someone could dig up the 2001 SB prediction with the 77-0 Rams blowout, that would top off the thread pretty nice.
