Interesting article I just ran across, a bit disjointed, but something new to talk about at least. The gist of the article is that BB/NE's culture of team before self, A.K.A "do your job", is directly related to the sustained run of NFL dominance and sports excellence in general. Article: GATA...

That's incredible. :)

You are both right. Why do you think BB paid Burkhead 3.5M? As a ST'er? As a 3rd down back? As a 1st down back? No, he's at least a 3, possibly even 4 down player, and was paid like one. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of him in most Off & ST situations.

Interesting. I guess he's one of those players that is just better at using those skills for 'hitting/containing' than 'evading/creating'.

And to avoid just this type of situation, is precisely why I always secretly film all my "dates". :)

Went looking for salary. No luck. But an earlier report for 1yr deal was for 2.6M. Kyle Scott of the Philadelphia sports blog Crossing Broad was the first to float the notion of the signing, and NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport later reported Long’s contract was a one-year deal worth close to $2.4...

I'm also sure he knew he'd get paid more & with a longer deal along the way. Also, even if pay and length were the same, on lesser more desperate teams, it comes without the yearly worry about getting cut or restructuring every season's end if his PT% or play declines.

Where did he say that Chasa: "Thank you Pats Nation. As a player you’ve given so much support to, I owe you an explanation as to why I’ll be moving on in FA… even if it isn’t a big deal. This year and this opportunity gave me a ton. I made lifelong friends in a great locker room and became a...

Meh

I don't think so. That's addressed in another rule change. Maybe I'm wrong. Also how would that "conserve time"? Edit: No this was also passed: By Competition Committee: Makes it Unsportsmanlike Conduct to commit multiple fouls during the same down designed to manipulate the game clock. Passed.

Maybe it means more commercials? :rolleyes: No timeouts? :)

Explain Rule change. #8 - Makes actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute warning What the heck does that mean? Can't find it anywhere described on the web. Definitions and examples anyone?

Thanks, then why not show yourself out? The point of this thread is the actual VALUE received at #13 and #33, and what players had/will be there. How long it'll take them to mature, value gained during the 1 year we lose of JG, and if it's all work the risk to TB in the end. You know with...

It's not what you or I think JG's impact is worth. The point of the post, is what does BB think JG can do in an emergency. If he feels he's good enough to give NE a reasonable chance to win, he'll need a lot more draft capital in return to pry him loose. So far, all indications point that he's...

Most assume such a haul would improve NE in other areas and more than offset any downside of relying on JB instead of the more polished JG were TB to get hurt, and a backup was needed for a solid NE team for the playoffs or SB. Sounds good on paper. But I was just thinking, how much impact does...

Las Vegas is a growing city. Currently #29 from #63 in 1990. On top of that, they probably get another 1M tourist a week. NFL game will draw them as well. So right now, it's the bigger, better, and growing market. Oakland is going the other way. Currently #35 down from #25 in 1990. Now throw...

None to not many... so far. But if you're gambling on a 45yr old QB staying healthy you need to make some adjustments to that strategy I would presume.

I agree. If I'm BB I might be willing to pull the trigger and hope TB stays healthy 4 years (maybe even half another) out of 5, with a Brisset type backup (that is, one that probably can't win a SB if TB gets hurt), versus a JG type backup that might still be able to get you ring. Although those...

I've convinced TB + 5yrs - injury will be a better, more able QB, than the corpse of Peyton Manning DEN trotted out en route to a dominant W-L record and SB victory a few years back. I actually hope it happens, just to see how TB might evolve to stay effective as his arm strength diminishes...

It was a very enjoyable game from fan perspective no doubt. Since that's why most of us watch football, gotta agree with OP. Yes, it's probably one of the best(=most fan enjoyable), if not THE best of the 50 SB games.
