  1. I remember him as a basketball player at UofA. He was a big time prospect coming in but his skills were so raw and he never developed. Quit basketball to try his hand at football during his senior year and then I think he was signed by the Pats as an UDFA if I'm not mistaken. I think the hope was that he could turn into a poor man's Antonio Gates. I don't see it happening. Gates was a natural - a great college basketball player - before turning to football. Fendi always struck me as an athletic guy with no "feel" for sports.

  2. Even with all of the injuries we are arguably three plays away from being 8-4 right now:

     

    - Stevie's "drop" against Cincy

    - Fitz's terrible underthrow vs. the giants

    - Stevie's legitimate drop vs. Jets

     

    I know, I know, it goes both ways and we could easily be worse than 5-7. Just saying...we are d@mn close to 8-4. If we can bring in some defensive upgrades and get that unit playing to just an average middle-of-the-road level, there's no reason we shouldn't be a real double digit win playoff contender next season.

     

    Edit: Lol...JohnnyGold...didn't see your post...sorry for just repeating what's already been covered.

  3. I've never understood the brady hate. He's a winner, an awesome QB, and by all accounts a good teammate. Deserves every accolade ever bestowed on him, imo.

     

    I guess the other reason I don't mind him is that we've never been even remotely close to good enough to compete with the pats during most of his reign. I'd probably hate him if he continually kept us out of the playoffs or super bowl with clutch plays in close games. But mostly, he's just beaten up on wretched bills teams.

  4. Pac-12 is about to get even stronger. I have a friend who is an influential booster at UCLA, and he said that Chris Petersen (boise state) has agreed in principle to take the UCLA job, and that the deal willl be finalized and made public on monday or tuesday.

     

    there will be a ton of entertaining football played on the west coast in the next few years.

  5. I'm disappointed that we completely felll apart during that three game stretch, but if we can finish the season strong and finish 9-7 or 8-8, I'll consider it a successful season and step in the right direction. If the team lays down and finishes 5-11 or 6-10, I will harbor serious doubts about gailey's ability to eventually get them to the playoffs.
