Human behavior often defies expectations. He may be drawn to a certain lifestyle and all that goes along with it. Speculation of course, as has been said.

I may be in denial to a degree, and I certainly do feel the pain of this loss, but at the same time I have felt much worse about losses. It's not nearly as bad as when the sox went down in 2003. That loss had the feeling of a historical weight that was just crushing and beneath which hope was...

And we came back different and better this year. But we made the mistake of peaking early and getting burnt-out. This is just the sort of thing that Belichick is smart enough to understand and humble enough to adjust to. Again, just because there is some superficial similarity between the...

Just because there is some kind of symmetry between our 2002 win and this year's giants win is no reason to predict the demise of the pats' greatness. Tell me, what combination of coach and qb could possibly have a better mental approach to the game to come back from this? Belichick's "humble...

This is stupid. CBS's statement has nothing to with whether or not the RCA dome is artificially loud; it has to with a technical glitch that many thought was connected with said suspected artificial noise. CBS did not "explain away" any perceived excessive noise (as Felger's comment implies)...

Well, if this does get legs, it will surely end up being called 'noisegate', because people can't seem to resist using the 'gate' suffix for any scandal. Frezo, thank you for your insight. Your account of what you suspect happened certainly seems plausible to me. But I have a question. If...

I think Moss would be better in Washington than he was in Oakland, but certainly not as good as he is now with B&B.

This is one of the most comedically idiotic things I've ever read. If you try to figure out this guy's definition of 'genius' from what he is saying, you get nothing but contradiction and vagueness. He says Dungy is a genius because he's "a nice man, a consistent winner, a best-selling author...

I think this is a big part of pats fans' cooling hatred of Manning. Now that "Tom Brady has his receivers", we have confirmation of the fact that Brady is not 1a to Manning's 1, but that they are tied for first. I don't know about anyone else, but seeing this play out this year has made me so...

I am not sure that I understand the "they are the champs, so they must be #1 argument". Power polls are generally given as a ranking of how good teams are at a given point in time. What does last year's superbowl victory have to do with how good a team is right now? Let's imagine that there...

This has become a very popular fallacy. You can not offer our opponents' 1-3 records as evidence against us, because those 1-3 records contain as one loss our beating the team in question. Thus, it makes sense to say our opponents have 1-2 records without our beating them, but not that we beat...

The defense could play better. We are giving up twelve points a game. The defense would be playing better if, for example, they gave up seven a game. There are also other numbers between twelve and zero. I realize that might be surprising. You also seem to be arguing that if we are...

1. Merriman-- he needs to stop doing the "lights out" dance in games in which his team is getting it's ass kicked. 2. Losman-- comes off as a dumbass. 3-x Every player that has come out with snide, insinuating comments about the pats in the wake of Ratgate, even though they know...

Re: DO you think that at the end of the year, Moss will take less money again to stay You clearly have absolute insight into Moss's psyche, and are thus able to predict his behavior with certainty. How did you gain such a remarkably profound understanding of the man?

There are good reasons not to humiliate an opponent. Coaches and gms rely on their relationships with other teams to make trades happen, and in personnel moves such as the one that landed Garrett Mills in Minnesota. Also, a coach humiliated now is likely to seek revenge later. Of course, for...

This is precisely the problem. People seem to be in such a tizzy about anything that bears any resemblence to cheating, that they are unable to think clearly about this situation. The contention of the Belichick supporters is that what Belichick was busted for is far from providing a...
