There might be a few of you out there who think the playoff win over Pittsburgh was sweeter than the Super Bowl win.

The next thing out of Troy Brown’s mouth sounded something like “Hey, if I’m gonna be a number one receiver, I want to be paid like one! I hope the Patriots feel the same way and take care of me!”

Okay, Bill and Bob. He really now is your guy.

Forget all these new weapons for Tom Brady. They just traded him to Buffalo.

Are things really as bad in Buffalo as the papers say they are?

Drew Bledsoe now is a Buffalo Bill.

By the time July rolls around, the Patriots may have ten or eleven tight ends on the roster.

Chris Berman probably already can’t contain himself.

Bledsoe perhaps expected to be somewhere else right now, installed as someone else’s franchise quarterback. The Patriots perhaps expected to be in line for about four first round picks and winners of six of the next eight Super Bowls. What we instead have is Bledsoe still in New England, and no one out there who seems to want Bledsoe, and that may also include his current team.

In Foxborough, it’ll be the Bore Room, not the War Room.?

Scheduling is such an inexact science in that the 2000 schedule started worse than this one does.

To most Patriot fans, Drew Bledsoe represents something he’s never been in his entire Patriot career: a draft pick gold mine. The Former Franchise was injured, lost his starting job, and his replacement winds up being Super Bowl MVP and cops a trip to Honolulu. That’s how you go from the future greatest player in team history to prime trade bait.

It’s like the Super Bowl is still going on.
