    Sebastian Vollmer on the first FG

    Re: FG Formation - Solder Thanks to the mods for moving. Light reader and poster here. I'll tear through this thread at lunch.

    Sebastian Vollmer on the first FG

    FG Formation - Solder Did a search for "Solder Field Goal" and didn't see any threads or comments, but did anyone notice Solder splitting out wide in the Divisional game? It was briefly shown and mentioned by Nantz. I think this was for the second quarter field goal to make it a Patriots 10-3...

    Deadspin - Pats fans are still the worst

    Great piece by Magary. He did a similar one on EVERY fan base before the season, FWIW. There's a lot of truth to his gripes. They've won 3 SBs and were two plays away from 5 in the past decade. They've been competitive every year. To the hypersensitive types who are complaining about this...

    Curran:Loss all on McCourty

    All is right with the world...great Pats offense for three quarters, but can't beat the pass-rush pressure in the end...no four-man pass rush success and the secondary getting torched with McCourty being the anti-ball hawk. The world has righted itself. /self-loathing

    What happened to Woodhead?

    I have no problem with Faulk over Woodhead. What was clearly the wrong call is Woodhead instead of Slater at KR. Woodhead's lack of linear speed was visible to the naked eye. He jogged into the holes. Slater gives you a chance at a home-run; they could've used a momentum, field changing play...

    Warren says Adalius Thomas leaked "LateGate" news

    Though some may look at Warren as being a snitch, I love this. Battle lines do need to be drawn. Think about your own office dynamics. Everyone has worked with a whiner and complainer. You can placate or be helpful and sympathetic for only so long. And if he/she is disruptive, you gotta...

    Someone needs to tell Bruschi

    Running on 3rd and 4th sounds fine in hindsight, but Brady dropping back was pretty comforting all game long, right? And the "70-80" yards to go argument is a bit dishonest. The Pats were on the NE28. Hanson has a career net of 36.2. I'll give you another 4 for the indoor factor, so that's...

    2009 rookie hazing stories?

    Went to the morning (and only public) session today. After stretching, they blasted them with a fire hose on a tarp. Eventually it turned into a slip and slide. At the end, Brady got control of the hose and went nuts on Edelman and Hoyer. Unfortunately, it was at the corner of the fields away...

    Mod Merge: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know Re: Vick and the Pats

    Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots.. I'm willing to bet my savings that more than 50% of athletes cheat on their wives. Of that, probably 25% have children out of wedlock. These guys aren't saints.

    Mod Merge: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know Re: Vick and the Pats

    Sick of all the talk, first off. Wish this was over. My take: I voted "okay by me" as the guy served his time. What is prison for if we're going to just blackball guys who serve their time, and serve it with no incidents? If we're not going to give those released a shot to integrate back into...

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    If the Lions were taking offers for the 1st pick with teams offering x pick in 2011 or x-player and x-pick...isn't that a market? It's the by the book definition of the secondary market.

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    My fault. I misinterpreted what you said. I completely agree---you're paying for the expected performance.

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    No, it's a false term just like "assault rifles." In a hurricane, generators and bottled water prices always spike. Now, isn't that actually a good thing? If you place price ceilings in, a precious resource in this time, is snatched up at a low price by fewer people who are hoarding precious...

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    The difference between you and I boils down to that statement. To me, there's no such thing as price gouging. That's a pejorative term to demonize what's actually the fairest way to allocate resources: supply, demand and price equilibrium.

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    There's always a market to be made, too, Deus. Unless you're the MLB and you bar trading picks or traded drafted players within a year, there's a secondary market. When Belichick trades picks...that's figuratively the definition of a marketplace. It's the beauty of the secondary market.

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    Exactly. Unless they slot the picks like MLB recommends---though no team listens---there's a market.

    Patriots About to Be Singled Out For Lack Of Labor Interest

    Not trying to be a d-bag, but price and market price are the exact same thing. That's economics 101. Not sure the origin or when market was dropped. But when you say the "price of a Snickers bar is $.75," you can substitute 'market price' for 'price' and it's the same thing---or vice-versa...
