http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/column...len&id=1853849 My god, do the Dolphins have bad luck or what? I'm beginning to feel bad for them.

Who the hell does Winslow think he is? He hasn't played a second in the NFL and he wants to be the highest paid TE in NFL history? :rolleyes Yeah, he's got the blood lines but his contract demands are just plain dumb. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1849378

Stunned. That's what I am at the moment, stunned. The only real reason the Patriots had to be scared of the Dolphins was Williams. Now he's apparently gone. He's the very definition of free spirit. Good luck, Ricky. Now, strictly as a fan of the Dophins divisional opponent... ROTFLMAO...

True, Klecko has a lot of potential. Add in Bruschi, Vrabel, Phifer and Johnson and the front seven of the defense is pretty strong.

Very, very happy with the Wilfork pick but slightly confused with the Watson pick. Fauria and Graham do a good job at TE for the Pats. An initial glance at Watson's bio suggests he's better in the blocking game so perhaps with the Dillon pick up the Patriots are going to focus on running the...

Ya think?? ;)

>>Mortonson just said that he's heard that if the Chargers do take Manning he would consider holding out for the whole season.

Count me as one happy camper WRT the Dillon trade. I don't know much about him but he's got a proven track record and it's better than what the Patriots have had since Curtis Martin headed to the Jets. With Dillon in the fold I expect them to go with a linebacker or offensive lineman with the...

>>I try to check out NFL Europe whenever I can, I believe the league has done some good for some players but its not usually the type of improvement that is easily noticed.

No, I won't be shocked if they do make a deal but I will be surprised if it's for the package reported. Each team has a sheet which rates and values draft picks (so the local sports radio station tells me). They added up the total value of what the Patriots were trading vs. the total value of...

>>The Patriots sign Keith Trailor.

http://www.patriots.com/news/fullart...0&type=general FWIW, Belichick shot down the Detriot rumor the same day it was reported in the Globe. They may be talking with Detroit about moving up but not for the package reported by Borges. The Patriots would be giving up too much to move up to six.

Somehow I knew that link was going to one of my posts... Jed and Patrick, I do have common sense. That post you're referring to was simply me reporting what those players said they would do. I didn't say I believed all of it, just that the players were saying it. At the time they may have...

Slightly OT, is anyone here a member of INsider at espn.com? I'm tempted to join to read about the upcoming draft but I don't know if INsider is worth it in general. One of the perks is the magazine but I already get that. Gotta love TO. He hasn't even made it to Baltimore and he's already...

Okay, I relent. Blame it on hysteria in the afterglow of my team winning. Blame it on reading various pro-Patriots stories and taking them hook, line and sinker. These Patriots don't rate with those other teams yet. Yet ;) I do think the Patriots don't get enough respect. I think it lies in...

For the record, I'm not saying they're a dynasty either. I'm arguing other aspects of the team but I can see that my comment about criteria for dynasties is misleading. I'll edit it. Okay Chuck (and Jack too), I'll take you up on that. Could you please name the 20 teams that you would list...

>>We're talking about how the Patriots rate in terms of "dynasties", and part of the criteria is how dominating a team was. The 49ers, Cowboys, and Redskins (less so with the Steelers) obliterated superbowl opponents, so yes, blowouts do count more.>The Patriots seemed to have calls that went...

>>They won two SBs by the narrowest of margins, didn't win them consecutively, and got into the SB with questionable calls from the refs in both home AFC champ games. Dynasties dominate opponents for several years.>This is more like a good team with some good luck.

I stand corrected on Montana's stats. The local sports radio station was comparing the two and I was basing some of my thoughts on that conversation. However, those points about Brady that I mentioned above do matter WRT the HOF because it's not all about the numbers. A QB can have great...

>>I am a season ticket holder and very proud of the Patriots.

>>As of now, Brady is nowhere near the HOF, he has never had an incredible season stat wise and is not on a HOF pace for anything really

>>They are already over the cap and some of their current players are probably going to want more money.

>>Is this going to be a DVD of the actual game, or just a few highlights with a bunch of talking heads as filler? Most of the past ones seem to have little game and lots of fluff.

>>I can't wait to get my Superbowl XXXVIII DVD!

>>Not to undermine the achievements of Brady at all, but half of the QBs in this league could've taken the place of Brady and had the same results.

"Not bad for a bunch of bums who aren't any good, who everybody says can't play,'' crowed Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, of his linemen. "By the way, it's Russ Hochstein [pronounced Hoke-stein], OK, Warren? Hochstein.'' :laugh: :laugh: :laugh...

Gee, no sacks of Brady and excellent protection all game long...take that Warren Sapp and stuff it you know where. I don't know where to start. The first half was a defensive masterpiece. Holding the Panthers to what, 0 yards half way through the second quarter? Incredible. Then both defenses...

I'll be back later but I want to say my hat is off to the Carolina Panthers. That's a hell of a team and it has to hurt to come that close and lose. PATRIOTS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

>>Can the Panthers rattle Brady, that's the question for the Panther defense. Can they make him make mistakes and turn the ball over with fumbles or interception?

I'm not sure who will win but I have to ask, when did the Panthers become this unstoppable force on offense and defense? I mean, they were 11-5, beat the Rams because of the stupidity of Martz and scored only 14 points against a banged up Eagles team missing its star player. Let's look at...
