Really? Do you really believe that? Stallworth and Moss currently don't have contracts.

Stallworth has an option for like 10 million next season the Pats obviously wont pick up because its 10 million bucks and that would make him a free agent...and its forgone conclusion by most that Moss is coming back...so I dont see the point of that post...

Excel:
How the hell does Belichick not show respect? He was the single most respected man in the league aside from commissioner in this decade until Eric Manginni said he cheated.

uh....News Flash: "That's usually what happens when someone who is thought to be honest is found to be a scum bag. You lose your good name.

Not only did Mangini rat on him, it was TRUE.

Dude, you're acting like an arrogant and pompous ass right now.

I hate New England. I hate them for ruining the Rams dynasty that could have happened (especially if the taping is true). I hate them for this Spygate scandal. I don't care if you tape games, just don't get CAUGHT and have the media exploit your behavior. That's why I hate New England. I hate Tom Brady, because he is a Michigan QB (who has gotten owned by Plaxico twice now). I hate him because he gets more and more arrogant as the years go on, especially scoffing at Plaxico's guarantee.

I don't hate them just because they were undefeated. That doesn't matter, really.

I was rooting for the rams that year. However, you can use the same argument here versus that. Giants ruined a "bigger" dynasty, but they won the football game when it mattered, just like the 2001 pats (this is assuming they didn't cheat). I really don't see Brady as being arrogant, i sorry. Brady and Moss are really humble, considering who they are. He was not scoffing at plaxico's guarantee win, but how he gave both teams a low score, considering it was 38-35 last time. He would have prefered 45-42 against them. Also, come on, you're telling me brady was the more arrogant one, even though it was in response to plaxico's guarantee win?

 

[Excel]

The dynasty didnt get ruined. 3 Super Bowl titles in 4 years, and undefeated regular season 3 seasons later?

If Brady wins another super bowl or 2 this will just turn into another accolade of his, that he all went 16-0.

uh....News Flash: "That's usually what happens when someone who is thought to be honest is found to be a scum bag. You lose your good name.

Thats not the point- every coach cheated. Mike Ditka said Mangini is the least respected coach in the NFL because they all do it and so does Mangini.

Belichick aint no different than any other coach. Even Tony Dungy who I love.

 

[Fran]

He could have been the bigger man and just declined to comment on the guarantee.

But like all Michigan players, he had to be the more cocky and arrogant person, whereas Plax was deemed delusional and crazy for predicting a win.

 

[M.O.Steel]

HAHA...man, that's a tough choice between that and the one on the bottom.

Come on, that's not even fair. He did that all year. He accepted the predicted win, what more do you want. I know you nor I could decline to comment. its the superbowl, and they both were obviously having fun. I mean, he turned the other cheek.

I believe he laughed it off. Bradys the best kinda sportmans there is. You wont ever see him put down an opponent or teammate, its always the opposite.

Again he didnt mind that he said theyd lose, he just minded that Plax said theyd only put 17 after dropping 38 on em amonth ago.

 

[StorminNorman]

I heard that injured players that are out for the season aren't allowed at the sidelines during the postseason. He originaly wasn't even going to make the trip out to Arizona.

I, honestly, don't believe this. I mean you have ex pro's on the sidelines.

 

[Fran]

Well. I'm biased, since I hate Michigan

He scoffed at the comment.

It was a tongue in cheek remark.

 

[Excel]

Sammie Morris was on the sideline I believe

Nothing is a forgone conclusion. IF Moss comes back - your post is valid. If its not - the Patriots NEED to worry about WR since Wes Walker is not a Number 1.

and arrogant.

 

[Addendum]

Yeah, and everyone that wasn't a Giant fan scoffed at it.

Now, if the score was actually what he said it would be, then everyone would have said "holy ****"

 

[Fran]

I just love Burress. That's all.

But The "genius got caught"! That changes everything.

And until you find video tape for the other teams, you got nothing. t:

 

[Addendum]

And if the "taping" of the Rams before Superbowl 39 doesn't turn up, there's nothing there either

 

[Fran]

Taping a walkthrough is pretty big, though. Gives away the whole gameplan.

I hope it's true.

 

[Memphis Slim]

True....
but the question of the destroyed tapes is there.

Why would Goodell burn those tapes??

I heard that he a Craft are buds.

 

[Showtime]

Its easy to figure out how hell get playing time. Stallworth is gone and Gaffney is more than likely too. Kelly Washingtons the only guy infront of him and seeing as Jackson had all the physical tools I dont see why he wont get a shot.

This is his 2nd season; he was banging up all last year and tore his ACL against the colts last AFC Championship game.

Wide reciever is the last thing the Patriots need help at and this kid has all the physical tools to preform, thats all. I dont see Kelley Washington going over him, or any other guy they sign.

They might cut him too though, and restock themselves with free agents as they did this year, or they might draft one. Even if he does get more playing time I am not sure why you think this guy is all that good. You know how many guys there have been who looked good in a combine and at the college level who deflated on the big stage. I will wait until the guy actually does something before I get too excited about him.

 

[jaguarr]

and not for nothing Tom Brady still has Gisele, I dont know if thats as good as a Super Bowl ring but it should count for something

Well, either one will fit on your finger.

jag

 

[Fran]

Hahahahaha... like Bonds, we could put a * by the Pats Super Bowl XXXVI victory

 

[Addendum]

It'd be funny if they find the tape, and you see the Rams line up for the first play and then it cuts to a gladiator film or something

 

[Showtime]

True....

You disappeared after the Colts loss and now have come out of the woodwork once the Patriots have lost. That is quite sad. I guess seeing Peyton Manning as a cheerleader on Super Bowl Sunday reminded you we have an NFL thread.
