For me, TV play-by-play is pretty sterile. IMO: the best teams are McDonough and Gruden. I like Michaels but Collinsworth is a prick. Collinsworth does his homework, and I probably learn way more from him than anyone, but SB49 was unforgivable! I like Nance but Sims is a blabbermouth. I...

IMO, changing the commercial breaks Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4 from 5,6,5,5 to 4,4,4,4 will make the games more watchable. That I like, even though the 4,4,4,4 will be slightly longer in duration. Having a split screen commercial during live review is also a good idea. Having centralized review for all...

This is starting to remind me of those Hitler videos! :)

I suspect that both sides would benefit by taking it slow and seeing how things go. We all know that some receivers have difficulty running this offense correctly. There's plenty of time to extend. The deal needs to be something BOTH sides want. BTW: We've seen Cooks's highlights and stats...

I don't care for "the processional" at all, especially with any non-patriot holding the trophy. If anything, pass it through each player on the current team to the podium. I very much enjoyed having Terry Bradshaw interview Tommy. Very fitting. Terry looked pretty happy for Tom, unlike that...

Blount is one of my favorites players to watch, especially when he's out in space. A 250 pounder with his speed is exciting. Brings me off the couch shouting "Go Go Go" every time! That said, I'm sure BB will sign some interesting competition for camp.

This is a great read. Thanks Harrious!

I think I heard he really likes Madam Secretary

IIRC, Bill has referenced the idea that when competing with 31 other teams, it's important to do things differently. Be where they aren't. Don't do what they do. Similar to: "Buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone else is buying." Some examples: we go 3/4 when most were still...

Oh, my other dream scenario: "ClownOut 2017" at Gillette stadium garners national attention when 60,000 fans don the Goodell clown shirt. It spreads to New Orleans, Miami, Kansas City and Cleveland. By week 6, every stadium in every NFL game features the Clown. By week 10, the humiliated...

My dream scenario is that Brady plays at a high level into his mid-forties and retires a lifelong Patriot, winning at least one more SB. Belichick continues for a few more years and wins another SB with Brady's successor. Dreams aside, I intend to continue to savor every down of every game...

On paper the passing game looks absolutely amazing! Gronkowski, Edelman, Cooks, White, Lewis, Hogan, Mitchell, Allen, and Amendola. Wow! Let's continue to improve the OLine to keep the GOAT upright and maybe bring in another big back. I'm thinking that Brady has maximum wood right about now. :)

I love Malcolm Butler and don't want to see him on any other team. That said, he's an RFA. I'm not sure how anything the Pats have done here is unexpected or unfair to him. Of course he needs to test the market and he is doing that. It's just business. In the end, he'll probably sign the...

I love this question! I suspect this scenario and others like it are constantly being considered and game-planned by the Pats throughout the year. TIME is precious in the NFL. Every additional week Jacoby gets under his belt hopefully makes him that much better. It certainly give the Pats...

Well, he's not doing a very good job of it, whatever his name is!

GM Belichick is simply amazing! The New England talent evaluation machine is tuned and running! I have NO IDEA how any of this will play out, but ... wow! Given a very deep draft class and the uncontrollable realities of a competitive FA market, the Pats have apparently shifted their tactics a...

Been searching the web on this question and still don't know what scenarios can happen. If an RFA doesn't sign a tender, what are the consequences for the player and the team? Who has the leverage? I thought I'd ask the good and knowledgeable folks on this board to illuminate! Thanks in...

I'm pretty sure Bill Polian also invented the Internet!

Jame Develin definitely adds a physicality to our team. I know the BB respects him a lot. When he broke his leg in 2015, he was missed. What a great way to start building the 2017 squad! Very happy for him!

I'm in the camp that believes that the Pats are manipulating the media and that the ensuing bidding war for Jimmy G will result in a lucrative trade for the Pats BEFORE training camp this year. I think Brady will play for the Pats at a high level through his next extension and that the Pats...
