According to Rapapport they offered the same money. TB guaranteed two years. NEP only one.

when it comes down to it, a deal could have been done and there wasn’t much motivation from the Pats side to do it which clearly insulted Tom.

How?

Tom said flat out he didn't want to come back and that was before any contract discussions.

I mean they offered the greatest player ever one year guaranteed

because its not entirely about Robert Kraft... this board is a microcosm of society, where everything has become divisive rhetoric... the leaders of the pack (the media, more pointedly sports talk radio) led the way, hyper-focusing and magnifying every perceived slight between player, coach & owner... and then they'd ***** about it, relentlessly... and everybody has followed suit... me included... so instead of reveling in the halcyon days, we are tearing it down, bit by bit... no stone left unturned...

I tell you, despite being a ratings powerhouse, Michael Felger is the absolute worst thing to happen to New England Sports world... he should he reviled but instead is lauded... and while he summers on Nantucket sipping mint julips we abide in a stadium filled with misery and dissention... a pit of misery he almost single handedly created..

Scott Pioli said it best... to paraphrase him "it was everybody" ... i can't find that specific interview, otherwise I'd have embeded it... but that gem of wisdom has never taken root here... forget the Patriot haters & trolls, we have become our our worst enemy in tearing down the Greatest Dynasty in the history of the NFL.

I couldn't agree more about the media and it's not just sports media. The news media is also very divisive.

I've been thinking of calling in to WEEI to suggest that they'd dump Felger and put in Murray. But then I don't watch and don't care.

They could have offered him 5. Wouldn't have mattered, he was over it. I am sure there's only so much Bill Belichick one man can take. My guess is that if you took every NFL player ever and put them in a sim and had Bill coach them all, not one would last 20 years. Tom would be champ of that, too. That's not a dig on Belichick, he's the goat of coaching, but that would take a special type of guy to go 20 years.

I am 100,000,000,000% (thats a hundred billion, right?) sure WEEI would like nothing better for Felger to get **** canned.

I want the big show back, lol

after the falcons game, RKK should have sat down with Bill & Tom and said - ****ing work it out. Bill, we are paying him 100-125 million dollars. its a 4-5 year deal. make it work. Tom, if you don't sign, we will franchise tag your ass for the next three years... you will get to 44, probably not 45... but you will be a Patriot for life.

Out of all the things people bag on RKK about, thats the one no one ever mentions. His absolute failure to step in and negotiate a peace between the coach and player.

Maybe I am too old, but those guys all talking over each other made my teeth itch. I think EEI's wheelhouse for sports content was Dale and Holley.

As we all know and I know you are a great football historian as I've learned many things NFL from your post. The Boston patriots were an interesting organization. I get what you're saying about the documentary.. as Bill was still coaching here when then was done. I don't think Bill or RK did each other any favors with it.

I wonder if Jonathan factors into things.

Dale was terrible. Give me paint drying or grass growing.

That would have gotten him in Canton. I am not one to pile on the guy, but I legit think he wasn't paying attention to ****. He was enjoying the spoils of success, with his rap star friends, young girlfriends and getting handies. I think that him and Jonathan hate Bill, but trusted him to run it, and he did, until he didn't. Once they decided to let Tom go, and then Tom goes and wins the whole thing in Tampa, it was too late for RKK and Jonathan to step in and fix it. They brought in all these layers of BS like Glazier, got put together by the biggest fraud ever in Mayo, while they believed everything would be ok. Don't Be Like Bill. It was truly Nero Fiddles While Rome Burns.

it’s a little bit ridiculous to say Tom just got up and left without ignoring the business side that created tension between Bill and Tom. I think Brady could have retired a Patriot if he had felt the proper respect.

All in all I don’t think we missed out on any other SBs and glad Tom got one on his own. I don’t even really have anything against Belichick.

I think he does... notice how he always absent whenever there's a presser.

 

[1960Pats]

Remember when Bill turned a lousy 6th round pick into the G.O.A.T. that was awesome.

Tom Brady knew he was heading for a split with the Patriots a few years before it happened.

This classic dog versus cat diary has been circulating the internet for years, but it is always fresh and funny! The comparison between feline and canine is a hilarious riff on the stereotypical differences between our two favorite animals! The Dog’s Diary 8:00 am – Dog food! My favorite thing...

It takes some real effort to imagine Tom cared more about his negative feelings for Bill, rather than his desperate attempt to save his marriage and millions of dollars.

Real stupid sht…
