It Is What It Is >> ESPN's Chris Mortensen insists 'tensions were there' between Tom Brady, Patriots coaches: 'There's a little trouble in paradise' | 10/06/14

“At the same time, what I found interesting is that two people who I believe are pretty much in tune say that listen, drafting Ryan Mallett or even a Kevin O’Connell is one thing in the third round, when they drafted Jimmy Garappolo, they were drafting Tom’s successor. Now, they didn’t say that would happen this year, but that is something certainly as we go forward that we’re going to monitor. … But I wasn’t burying Tom Brady. It was just painting a picture that there’s a little trouble in paradise. And last night a win kind of calmed things down, which I anticipated that a win against the Bengals would calm things down. I was impressed with the passion I saw from the Patriots as a whole.”​

He lied. Thats what the story is. He is not Adam Schefter, he completely made this stufff up

 

[shmessy]

He's full of crap.

 

[Clonamery]

Why would you take anything this tool has to offer as credible when he's just a mouthpiece for Jerry Jones?

"They hate their coach"

I get people like to hear TJ or Mort or SMY or Toma report salacious stories as it makes for interesting reading. With that said, people please! A modicum of doubt applied to these stories is needed.....don't ya think???

Confirmation bias is a very poor substitute for actual 'thinking'.....

 

[Patriot Missile]

What a clown. He rolled this bs out because he was certain the Bengals were going to make the Pats miserable. Now he and others can't pile on and he is stuck defending his fabrication.

 

[Bella*chick]

Well I certainly hope this is a "they hate their coach" moment.

Beep. Beep. Beep. That Sound You Hear Is The Media Walking Back. -- Boston Sports Media Watch

I love how the benz guy thinks the media made the team play better.

AL&Cris are jabbing all the fan/media criticism of the wk.Yet NE is winning doing all the things fans and media have been begging them to do​

Yes, thank you sports radio, for all your brave criticism of the last week. We owe ya one!

It Is What It Is >> Tim Hasselbeck on D&C: Despite Patriots' win, lack of WR talent 'a problem long tern' | 10/06/14

Hasselbeck tries to pour water on the win...

“I do think it’??s a problem long term,” Hasselbeck said of the receivers. “Nothing’??s been solved in terms of somebody really dominating outside the numbers. I think [Brandon] LaFell’??s role is kind of what it is for the team right now. And I don’??t know how much bigger it can truly get. And [Julian] Edelman, he’??s a fine player, but we know what he is. [Rob Gronkowski] looked to come alive a little bit more and Tim Wright’??s involvement was fine. But when you look at all of that, that doesn’t solve the fact that you don’??t have somebody that can really, really dominate outside. And you don’??t even necessarily have to be totally dominant, but you just have to have the ability to win out there.”​

Steeler fan piece of crap. I really like Fauria and wanted to follow that show but Merloni is a blowhard and Benz is worse than Salk ever was. I'm not sure why WEEI thinks we want to listen to a Steeler fan discuss the Patriots but i have turneed that show off for good.

lol douche and squeaky right now trying to act like mortenson reporting it means that it is 100% correct. Because as felger puts it "He doesn't talk to the QB's people, he talks to the QB. He doesn't talk to the PR department, he talks to the owner"

Ya i'm sure he rang up Brady and Kraft and they went off the record and told him about the problems.

Mort has made Skip Bayless look like a genius this week. That is quite a feat.

this is hasselback's theory

“I think there’??s room for interpretation when Mort is saying ‘sooner rather than later,’ ” Hasselbeck said. “In terms of not believing Mort, ESPN did just have a Monday night game that New England played in, and access to players during that time, whether it’??s on the field, whether it’??s leading up to that game in terms of the preparation for that. It was probably decent access to it.

Pretty sad. I guess giving to good causes don't count if you have your name attached? If anything, putting it out there brought even more attention to the cause. Good for Kraft and his big heart.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

I found Mort's source...

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

And felger and mazz are buying this saying there are major issues. What utter useless turds. BS story

 

[JMC00]

Holy ****.

They are calling Brady a liar because how he said some stuff in the post-game press conference addressing the report. Yet chris "hack" mortenson is 100% bang on truthful

Well I got a firm reminder of why I stopped listening to these guys, not that i needed one.

You can tell these guys are literally seething because they were fully expecting to come in today and do an obituary show of the 2014 Patriots.

"It's amazing how stories can get out that are so untrue"

 

[Rob0729]

I love Mazz's theory that because Belichick and Brady celebrated with each other on the sidelines that it is indisputable proof they hate each other.
