No thanks. Spend the money on the OL!

This thread needs more blue text.

Reporting that on NFL Network right now.

...and Brian Westbrook and Joe Morris and Warrick Dunn. Ray Rice could get there.

Barry Sanders?

That's what I'm saying. I love the trade.

No, we usually blew ours by halftime.

I'd root for a tornado.

Apparently, you may be right. http://www.11alive.com/videos/news/2015/01/26/22370137/

OWNS....OWNS....

"If", not "when"?

Then don't follow it.

But wait, I thought just yesterday Belichick said "We try to do everything right. We err on the side of caution. It’s been that way now for many years. Anything that’s close, we stay as far away from the line as we can."

Or maybe the minimum should be 12.5 and QBs with smaller hands are at a disadvantage. Why should football be any different than any other sport in having a regulation ball that's uniform for all?

Personally, I can't get past Belicheck's statement: “We try to do everything right. We err on the side of caution. It’s been that way for many years. Anything that is close we stay as far away from the line as we can.” If this current issue never happened, and you took a poll whether the Patriots were creative about bending the rules, don't you think it would be at odds with this statement? It seems to me they take pride in their "creativity". They may follow rules to the letter, but not the spirit. I also don't think that presser was Belicheck's idea. I think either Kraft and/or the NFL told him he had to do it because they're getting killed in the court of public opinion.

Love this obviously biased poll on a local Boston TV station's website: http://www.whdh.com/story/27904910/poll-do-you-think-the-patriots-intentionally-deflated-footballs#WNPoll145034 As of right now, about 71% say "NO" (they didn't intentionally deflate the balls). Feel free to vote early and often!

What kind of name is Poon?

I'll have a steak sandwich, and a steak sandwich.

While I am by no means a Kyle Orton apologist (he is not the answer), we rushed 13 times for 13 yards. That's beyond the QB.

Oh, the drama. Grow a pair. It's just football.
