    A long way to go. This is a mediocre football team. 

    The Patriots at this point remind me a bit of the drought-Bills.

    They are in an extreme offensive league and try to win like it is 1956 by running the ball, limiting mistakes, and defense.  It is a great formula to be in the middle of the pack and maybe be in a position to steal a wild card once in awhile.

    Fair comment. 
    For the record, i dislike the Bills the least out of the rest of the AFC East. The Bills could win 3 Super Bowls and I would still hate the Fins and Jets more. Lol.

    I used to kind of root for the patriots.  At least when they were relatively harmless and had the best uniforms in football in the early 90s. Even with Bledsoe and they became a pain in the ass toward the back end of buffalo's relevancy, I didn't dislike them.  I even was happy they won their first superbowl.

    The 18 years of complete dominance though made me salty.  

    I do "hate" the Dolphins and jets more though.  I don't even consider the Dolphins a real fan base, and by rule, I loathe all NYC teams.  

    Belichick appears to have lost touch with the modern nfl.  It's surprising because he seemed so far ahead of the game and completely adapted 3-5 times during the dynasty. 
    His coaching staff just stinks of loyal people he is comfortable with who are willing to work with him.  The modern nfl is mcvay and that little pipsqueek in Miami scheming how to launder mass quantities of points.

    I could also see them getting Lamar Jackson and McDaniels comes back and they suddenly can score 30 points a game and win 14 games next year.

    Haha. I was watching the documentary on the Viper room and he was being interviewed. Dude is almost unrecognizable. I thought “that’s Durowitz?” Crazy. 

    I like the bands first three records. In fact, the OG of Recovering the Satellites is an amazing sounding record. Sadly, the masters are gone forever due to the Universal fire. 

    I’m not sold on Mac Jones personally. The rest are gonna be big stars 😁

  • Darkness on the edge of the Patriots dynasty

    Death and distress haunt members of the 2001 title team.

    Jermaine Wiggins, a tenement kid from East Boston who gained a glimmer of fame by helping the Patriots win their first Super Bowl and launch one of football’s greatest dynasties, went broke within two years of his last NFL game.

    But Wiggins was never alone in hardship among alumni of New England’s historic 2001 team.

    Twenty years after those underdog Patriots shocked the football world and triggered the transformation of Boston into a City of Champions, life has been extraordinarily kind to many in their ranks. Tom Brady, Richard Seymour, and Willie McGinest, among others, have basked in wealth and glory.

    A Bob Hohler Patriots "article" getting published by Boston.com the same week the Sox are getting dragged for letting one of their homegrown fan favorites walk? 

    I've seen this episode before. 
    Doesn’t negate the facts of the former pats players, and much of former NFL players, coming away from the game as damaged goods. Brutal sport.

    One has nothing to do with the other.

    Are you familiar with Bob Hohler's work? 
    No. Does he make shit up?
    I never claimed he did. 

    If you want to do some research into his body of work, it might shed some light on the point I was making. If not, that's ok too.

    Death and distress haunt members of the 2001 title team.

    Jermaine Wiggins, a tenement kid from East Boston who gained a glimmer of fame by helping the Patriots win their first Super Bowl and launch one of football’s greatest dynasties, went broke within two years of his last NFL game.

    But Wiggins was never alone in hardship among alumni of New England’s historic 2001 team.

    Or you could explain your comment/comparison. Or not.

    He writes sports columns for the Boston Globe and covered the Sox during their 2004 World Series run. So?

    The Boston Globe is owned by John Henry, who also happens to own the Sox. So?

    It’s not like the letting go of Xander to SD is not being reported on or that the Sox and their front office aren’t being skewered for it in the media. Not to mention that it reminds me of Swade Boggs’ departure in that it seems to have been more about the years than the money. 11 years is a long time in any sport and particularly for a 30 year old. So?

    None of which negates the reporting on the Pats Super Bowl players and their futures.

    And I wish homegrown players and those who arrive as rookies and have outstanding careers would retire from their teams but we all know it’s all about the money all the way around. Money has ruined sports, from the ticket prices, to crazy salaries/profits, to rules changes for TV viewers and ad revenue to new stadiums every ten years or so. Added to that is that ownership usually gets cheap after Winning a championship or two and players move on. It ain’t like it used to be.
