After seeing Brady cry about his dad they can't lose this ****ing game. God d%#*!@t put me out there I'll run through the Great Wall of ****ing China for the GOAT

I've had about enough of Hightower. We get it, man, move on.

That is bizarre.

Thanks to all you awesome people that are keeping us updated... Love all the clips & bits being posted!!

 

[XLIX]

Geez, they just showed the "my dad is my hero" clip on ESPN and it sure got pretty dusty in this hotel room I'm stuck in. Might need to report it to the front desk that they need to change the filters in the air circulation system.

Per the nfln ticker, Freeman eants to be the top paid rb in the league (supposedly a quote from tonight). Falcons gm responded to questions with "We are open to contract talks in the offseason."

Bulletin. Board. The moron keeps on giving.

 

[ViperGTS]

That is bizarre.

He's as good as gone. If he wasn't, he would have said what has always been said. Be interesting to see how he responds the next few days.

I'm not doubting his compete level next Sunday. I'm doubting him sticking around. I'm believing the only guy that will get signed long term is Butler. BB will find Hightowers replacement in FA or the draft.

Agree, he'll be fine for this game. Probably his last with us though.

Yea I think he's gone, but I know he will be playing full throttle come Sunday, obviously he's not gonna d*ck himself out of a 2nd ring by half assing it, he would only be hurting his own value come free agency

Bennett is gone to. His comment about the Giants as well as not going to the WH if they win means he's gone. Funny how when the end nears, the more the ones who feel they are gone talk. That a good sign of cya later.

Hightower needs to understand that in the NFL lockerooms flip every year and your not gonna be able to hit the door everytime a favorite player of yours leaves or gets traded

 

[Wheelman]

This drive for five show on FS1 is pretty nice. I wonder if this is what they'll show on Fox before superbowl coverage starts as the Championship Chase show they do for the wild card/conference/superbowl weekends?

 

[The Brandon Five]

Why? You might as well ask Tyree or Manningham too.

Eli, can I borrow that horseshoe?

 

[ViperGTS]

Just not what'd you'd expect to hear. Expect more along, "I don't know. I'm just focused on Atlanta right now. We'll come to that when we come to that."

Small hints.

I think we need to stop making assumptions just because of a couple of comments. It has nothing to do with what the negotiations will go like.

They are hints. They feel looser knowing they are pretty much gone.

Damn page doesn't exist it said

 

[Wrath Mania]

I think people are overreacting to comments made in the stupidity of tonight's event. Hightower's comments about Collins are interspersed between him praising teammates and the like; it's no secret he and Collins were close, who cares?

Same for Bennett. So he said he loved it in NY, big deal. As far as him saying he wouldn't go to WH if they win, he probably isn't the only player thinking that. Was Brady showing the team disrespect when he bounced the trip in 2015?

Devin McCourty on why the Patriots are so hated - "Honestly I don't know, but I'm not gonna lie, I didn't like them at all in college."

^^^ is that disrespect too? It's just a dumb event and players take more loosely than normal.
