Casserly: Brady and Moss had confrontation

[Lampshade]

Insiders have to report something exclusive, no matter how ridiculous it is. Whether it's true or not, this report is clearly ridiculous.

 

[Pewsterbaby]

uhh... having long hair and being accused of looking like a girl has worked out pret-ty freaking good for me over the years. heh heh heh.

 

[jays52]

"Tried this stuff"? It's not unheard of for 2 adults to have an argument.

Not at all. Nor are fist fights between good friends that are teammates.

There's a difference, though when it's between the QB who made his rep on work ethic and the receiver famous for being...well...kind of a b*tch. It's also not good when your QB is the one who has to sit the receiver down and lecture them on putting in the work. That's why god made linebackers and 5-techs.

...and I'm fairly certain this had *zero* to do with hair. That's just hilarious.

I think Moss was in an absolute terrible situation here in 2010 for himself and it must have been hard. But if this is true, that's just strange. I don't understand why he would brush off something like that. If he did indeed decline talks of an extension that he wanted, then he had a lot to do with his bad situation in 2010.

I'm glad it worked out for him in the end, but if this is true it was definitely a big mistake on his part. Big mistake.

I would have preferred it worked out for the Patriots, but we are obviously on different sides there.

Granted, they were never airtight in the first place. Just saying that, compared to 2001-2004, it seems like we hear a lot more about what's going on in the locker room now. I don't like it, I'm kind of on board with Wilfork's comments re: that. Keep the media out of the locker room, they'll only stir up trouble.

I remember there were plenty of stories coming out of the locker room during the Brady/Bledsoe "debate" in 2001.

But you're right -- there's a lot more now, but it's not because the Pats have changed so much as people's media-consumption habits have. Not only has the rise of new media multiplied the total amount of sports coverage possible, but the amount of coverage dedicated to the NFL by the old media has increased -- I mean, look at the increasing number and length of pregame shows.

We're just hearing more about everything than we used to, and we have no one to blame but ourselves and our seemingly insatiable appetites for more and more coverage.

+1. No matter the subject is, we hear so much more about it these days than ever. I remember when I was a kid, the entire sum total of NFL pregame and postgame coverage consisted of 30 minutes where I would watch The NFL Today with Brent Musberger, Irv Cross and Jimmy the Greek. Maybe you would get 2 minutes of highlights on the evening news but beyond that, anything else would have to be read about in the next day's paper.

These days the media is literally 24/7. Internet, sports talk radio, ESPN, etc, etc...

 

[Delicate Genius]

From various reports circulating around the internet, I've been able to piece together EXACTLY what happened between Moss and Tom the week before the big game down in Miami...

*snip*

Beautiful.

I disagree, I've never heard a teammate depict Moss as anything close to "kind of a b*tch", but to each his own. I'm highly confident that this "incident" was negligible towards the thinking behind the trade though.

And yeah it's clearly not about the hair lol.

The two are not mutually exclusive...

 

[PATSNUTme]

Well friends do have arguments, so what's the big deal.

Most important is what was their body language like and did they shake hands on the 50 yard line.

 

[Teenuh]

you are a cement head:.

The maturity level around here is astounding.

Wake up Teenuh, Clearly, after all those reasons being thrown about all week, we all know the real cause was.............GroomingGate.

:lol2:

So you're pretty much in complete denial at this point, eh?

Denial about what? I'm just pointing out how you guys want to make Moss the bad guy so its easier to deal with the loss. If it helps you sleep at night then feel free to believe every negative rumor about Moss. I'm sure the media will spread plenty of other rumors about him during the next several weeks so you'll have plenty of "excuses" to say we're better off with Moss.

 

[Joker]

Casserly said the Patriots were known to/talked about recording coaches. Then Camera Gate happened. That's my point. It was PRE-SPYGATE and Casserly was right. Damn, some people just don't get it.

I get "it" fine. Casserly did NOT break the Spygate story. You seem to be up his behind. Fine.You and Casserly have a long fruitful life together.

 

[USCPatriot]

Anyone who believes this story fails.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Good Lord first all the jet's threads now we are acting like the Jet fans.

Say it isn't so ... we're becoming a gossip rag.

 

[SoonerPatriot]

Yeah. He said that before it turned out that Casserly was 100% correct.

You can go ahead and stop perpetuating the myth that Casserly was the ONLY one who had that right any time. It's pretty tired. Thanks.

From NFL Today

Casserly: Carson Palmer is number one in my book. He has the best overall skills of all these players - pin-point accuracy, can throw the ball deep, best pure passer.

yeah...I just don't "get" Charlie Casserly...maybe his kid who posts here does...after all, he's the be all and end all of these so-called Pats fan experts.

It Is What It Is Belichick and Casserly going at it again


ooops....how can THIS be??? after all, Charlie Casserly is the ultimate insider who never lies and fabricates nor has an agenda of any kind....naw....not Daddy...:bricks:

Teenuh, you're the one who believes Moss was "stabbed in the back" and that you'd "punch BB in the nose" for it if you had the chance. You need to step back and look at what happened a little less emotionally. Most of what happened leading to the trade falls on Moss's shoulders.

lol great article!

 

[Joker]

The Globe dug up a 2006 quote from Belichick, talking about Casserly when the analyst reported almost a year before Spygate that the Patriots were warned not to record opponents' signals.

Asked about rules protecting QBs at the time, Belichick said:

"Talk to the guys who make the rules. There are plenty of people on that committee and they love to talk about the rules that they've made and how great they are and all that. The Charley Casserlys of the world, that have all the answers to everything. Talk to them."

ooops again....Casserly's kid is taking a beating...
