Patriots Rumor ESPN hitpiece on Patriots (Rift with Brady/Belichick/Kraft) - Merged

[Hammer of Thor]

I might have missed this earlier, so I apologize if this if a repost. Here's a Jeff Howe column refuting the ESPN sham.
Howe: Don’t close down the Patriots dynasty just yet

Very intriguing video. A lot to consider. We have to not be naive & realize there IS some truth to some of these “allegations/ rumors.”

That being said; we were probably gonna win the SB anyway, but play this in the locker room & the League might as well have the rings placed at each respective players’ locker first thing Monday morning.

Any posters doing double duty at CBS Sportsline where the Will Brinson story about the ESPN story has 1384 comments so far.

I was doing that at work today. ESPN, CBS, Yahoo...yeah.

There is stupid and there is hyper-stupidity:

Eight teams that might fit Tom Brady if he left the New England Patriots

Wow.

Frenemies

Damn...TB's hat would be a great Fannie may commercial touch.
Hope to God the Amish community doesn't announce a missing brim...ESPN 60 for 60 will have an entire episode devoted to the hat jacking

Report: Belichick “sees an opening” to get to the Giants

Ah j**** c***** don't bring up the drafts! Lol! I have grown to dread draft day, well at least day two when BB makes his inevitable ??? Pick. Lol! I admit it, and I'm not proud of it, but those are my most regretful posts in this forum, even though I was correct at the time. You take the leagues bests "short comings" at that stage. If that's their biggest short comings the future is bright

Yep. I think if you did the analysis (trades+players+UFA) BB has done just fine.

I was just looking at John Elways drafts and he sucks. BB blows him out of the water.

Pitt has been very good lately. I give them credit. For a while they were awful.

Bold prediction: this 40 year old quarterback, 65 year old coach, and 76 year old owner have very few years left working together.

Shocking!

ESPN will declare themselves to have been correct, even if it takes 4 years!

What do we think of this new BB eyeing the Giants report?

Brady's starting to remind me of Tom Cruise and his scientology beliefs. If you don't believe in their alternative beliefs or question it, they go off on you or cut you out.

I don't give a f### if Tom Brady is starting to remind you of Tom Cruise or Pablo Cruise. I don't give a f### if he believes in scientology or extraterrestrial crickets. He's a great quarterback, likely the best ever, a premier teammate and someone who has never, to my knowledge, been disparaged in any way by anyone who has ever played with him.

I always thought it made sense...if he were leaving the Pats, but he isn't so yeah, nice thought NYG but not happening.

 

[Snake Eyes]

Brady could play for another 3 or 4.

Garoppollo could get hurt and never play again.

You just never know.

Brady can get hurt and never play again, that's a possibility as well, but what's definite is that Brady is 14yrs older.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

He doesn’t need to win championships. He can just be a top 10-12 QB make his money and flirt with the playoffs and it would be a successful career.
If Jimmy is going to win “a couple championships” in SF, we’ve already made the wrong decision on which QB to keep.

That's my point. If he doesn't win championships then we made the right choice. Again i can see brady playing well the next couple of years as long as he has the weapons around him and a running game.

Brady is why alot of posters are here right now. Lol

Like I said, still a fan of both. Both are great at what they do. You're telling me something I already know. Get a grip.

NFL trying to destroy the team from within. JMO.

It is sad...but it will be the fan base that ultimately does it, because those three already know what the truth is, but the fans...well...you can see in the previous posts they will ultimately force Kraft's hand...at some point

 

[Kdo5]

I love Bill but he'd be stupid to leave the Pats for another team. He has it good here. He is the GM and head coach. His kid works here. Everything he has established over seventeen years and he'd throw it away to work for the freaking Giants under Gettelmen? Get real, folks.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Brady is why alot of posters are here right now. Lol

We were a much smaller group here in 1999-2000-2001 and then it exploded.
Ian raised his game repeatedly - we have the best site of all 32 teams.

 

[Deus Irae]

Brady can get hurt and never play again, that's a possibility as well, but what's definite is that Brady is 14yrs older, and a better quarterback.
