I swear to chant "the Patriots aren't going to win the Super Bowl" a 100 times and a few Hail Mary's (even though I'm Jewish) to make up for this, but I've always wanted to be at a post-SB parade and Southwest was selling plane tickets to Boston for $31 one-way... so I bought two for Feb. 7-8...

I haven't been able to find what seems like an obvious website: one that previews college football games from a draft perspective (draftable players, likely draft year, projected round, jersey numbers). There is the CBS prospect rankings, which is good, but something more tailored as a...

As an afficionado of Belichick's one-liners, particularly those used to blow off the media, this could go down as an all-time classic. From Reiss: 'Belichick was asked to explain why the pictures inside the team’s facility all came down this offseason. “The walls needed to get painted,” he...

I'm curious who folks will be rooting for this evening. Reason to root against Denver: They are a half-game ahead of Patriots for playoff seed, plus own the tiebreaker. Reason to root against Pittsburgh: Steeler fans, 'nuff said. I'm torn.

Does anyone know who the Patriots offseason award winners were this year? Did I miss the announcement? If it wasn't announced, does anyone know if the team did it this year? I always thought this was a nice little tradition of BB's.

I never got around to posting a thread about how many posters on the board were delirious because they thought the Patriots could easily trade a 2009 2nd round pick for a 2010 1st. I had done the research and this had only happened ONCE so far this decade, and under some unusual circumstances...

I'd love to see the Patriots come out of this draft with an extra 2010 first round pick--I'm wondering how that is most likely to happen. Of course they could probably trade #23 for a 2010 1st and something else (maybe a 2009 3rd or 4th or, even better, a 2010 3rd)--but that seems unlikely...

Sorry if this has been posted but I hadn't seen it. I just heard an interview with DeAngelo Hall on comcast Sportsnet. Apparently he signed just before free agency started but 30 minutes after he signed he received a text from the Patriots "trying to confirm his flight". It's the only other team...

Just messing around with the draft value chart (Draft Countdown - Trade Value Chart) to see what the current trade-up options are (using all combinations of first day picks): Trade #23 + #34 + #47 + #58 -> between #3 and #4 pick in draft (blowing our wad) 23 + 34 + 47 -> between #4 and #5...

… and my 500th post. Yes, I know it’s more common to celebrate a 1000th post, but hey, it took me 3 1/2 years to get to 500, so … Third string baby! :eat3::woohoo::eat2: I’m attempting to become more of a draftnik, so here’s my attempt at a Patriots draft board by some need positions. *...

Assuming a Cassel trade (big assumption), I believe the Patriots will have the resources (picks and cap room) to address all of their pressing offseason personnel needs, including a #3 WR. I realize that there is a mood that the defense needs all the attention this offseason and that the...

Hello all, Anyone know if there will be an event at Gillette stadium for fans on 10/12 for the Chargers away game? I know they do things on occasion for away night games. I'm going to be in town on business, it would be nice to see the stadium. Thanks.

We judge the quality of a team by winning and losing, and that’s a good thing, we have finality. If the ball bounces off the upright and in, our team is superior and has performed memorable feats. If it bounces out, then our team is inferior and the weaknesses glare. This is, of course, a...

I was just thinking that BB has coached in 1 out of every 3 Super Bowls (OK, 7 out of 22) since '86--that's ridiculous. What a legend. Is 7 Super Bowls a record for a coach? Anyone know who is in second?

Breer has his Tale of the Tape up--best analysis will probably get this year of a Patriots game. http://cowboys.beloblog.com/archives/2007/10/tale_of_the_tape_1.html#more Tale of the Tape Time to close the book on the Patriots game. Here's some things caught on tape:  In my opinion...

Sunday morning, is the dawning The new season is finally here Early dawning, sunday morning The offseason is so far behind Watch out, the ball's been kicked now Watch out, Maroney's running now and Brady's dropping back to pass We're kicking their ass Sunday morning and I'm falling...

Miguel reported this two days ago in this thread (where there is continued discussion on this)... http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/showthread.php?t=58740 ...that it actually was a 5-year extension rather than the 3-year extension originally reported. But I had to...

Like most Patriots fans, the Titans and Jeff Fisher were on my hate list after their unethical antics last year against the Patriots, capped by Bobby Wade's cheap shot on Rodney. It wasn't just that he went for Rodney's knees, it's not uncommon to block low, but it was that he first stood him up...

Sirius Radio is reporting that the Freeney deal is "done": 6-yrs/$72M, $30M guaranteed. Apparently this makes him the highest paid defensive player in the league.

With the official return of Troy Brown to the roster, I've been wondering if he can possibly beat out Welker for any roles. There seems to be a general assumption that Welker will take all of Troy's former roles, except DB, and therefore Troy becomes a good backup to Welker and a great...
