I like the respect shown by the gesture.

Not necessary.

Didn't think Amendola was the type of player to have his number exit circulation, especially considering who wore 80 first.

No, he didn't ask Troy.

Wow, hopefully Matthews is as clutch as some other # 80s. Brown and Amendola were so clutch.

Matthews likes #80 because of Jerry Rice (his cousin). He used to wear 80 as a kid because he idolized Rice.

Did Irving Fryer get a call too?

Fun fact: Jordan Matthews was about seven months old when Troy Brown was drafted. Maybe 14 or 15 when Troy retired.

This means nothing to me until he gets the nod from Visanthe Shiancoe.

Here’s Why Danny Amendola Chose To Leave Patriots, Sign With Dolphins
Danny seemed very critical about B.B. and the atmosphere in New England. I’m kind of surprised he didn’t just take the high road.

I think he was a bit insulted by the Pats’ offer. He also mentioned putting his “blood, sweat and tears” out there in the SB, and Malcolm not playing.

He'll have it easier in Miami, plus he has a longer offseason to look forward to after the season

hmmm......BB made him a better football player.........maybe he should have shown a little more gratitude toward BB, who is probably the reason he got this contract. I doubt he gets this based on his regular season stats.

BB and the Pats gave him prime time/playoff time opportunity. He was already a great regular season receiver before coming to New England. He has injury issues...he is the smallest guy out there operating in an area where guys outweigh him by 75-150 pounds.

I wouldn't describe his comments as "very critical.". I'm guessing BB would likely agree with Amendola's comments. ...

Lol you homers are the most thinned skinned bunch around. Did anyone watch the interview with Mike Reiss? He went out of his way to say that he knew Bill is the way he is because it makes the players better and how much he respects him. As for the Butler part he seems to have the same feeling as almost every fan out there.

I admit at the time I had only read the Yahoo version of this story, which made it sound much more critical than Reese's story

Amendola helped the team win a pair of SBs, and helped the team almost win another. BB/The Patriots forced him to take multiple pay cuts and then (according to Amendola) came in well below market on the recent offer. If you're going to talk about gratitude, let's remember that such gratitude should be going in more than just one direction.
