The draft isn't "abolished by a court" because the players' union agrees to it. Absent a CBA they would be an illegal restraint of trade. Just like the salary cap, restricted free agency, tagging, etc. all would be. But the union agrees to all of it thus is it all OK. (We learn this every...

Remind him of how Bledsoe almost gave the '01 AFCCG away in the second half including some mind-numbingly dumb throws.

Well, Seau did refuse Rodney's pleas to switch out of the game-losing blitz.

Don't push the Woodson hitting Brady in the head thing because people can then validly counter with Vrabel hitting Warner in the head even worse in SB36 on the Law pick-6 play.

The scene in that when Kraft comes in to try to flex his "knowledge" by asking about the weather is hilarious. Belichick is clearly trying to blow him off and just keeps chewing his gum with the disdain just radiating off him.

The '03 team was also peak opposition saltiness. NE would win (yet another -- remember, this season was the birth of the record winning streak) tight game and the losers would just whine and whine about how they were the better team.

Because people are worried that Jonathan will be Jones-ish or Snyder-ish in terms of being a buttinsky to football operations.

No PIT or SF either. Don't want them (respectively) surpassing or matching NE's SB trophy count.

I want the Superbowl to be DET v. HOU with DET winning.

He didn't need to agree to some buyout to be able to coach somewhere without giving up compensation. When the coach is fired the team relinquishes all rights to him by doing so. It's only when the coach quits that the team still holds rights for the remainder the time left on the contract.

I think Kraft's early ownership tenure makes "yes" a pretty clear answer to that question. And I suspect Jonathan even moreso.

What?? There is no way Belichick would or could have kept Bledsoe after 2001. It would have been a mistake of epic proportions, Bledsoe didn't want to stay, either. Trading was the only option.

Since it appears BB still had the final say on this horrible choice it's ultimately on him. HOWEVER, it also doesn't make me feel good about the future (or either Kraft's judgement) that they are leaving these people in place.

Personally, I like the one I saw saying JK is a cross between Sonny and Fredo.

An agent probably isn't a HIPAA covered entity. (HIPAA only applies to specific entities). And even if he is, if Jackson gives permission to release the info there's no HIPAA issue.

Or, closer to home, Plunkett.

************. How can those passes to the flat be so lazy.

Give that the Patriots (thankfully unsuccessfully) tried to cancel Stingley’s health insurance I’m not remotely surprised. The Sullivans were cheap, garbage people.
