    Who will be the next Patriots TE that the Colts cannot manage to handle?  Benjamin Watson, Rob Gronkowski.... next?

  2. While I think this is a good deal for the Raiders, am I the only one who thinks Brown will just completely flame out on that team? The Raiders are normally a team where superstars go to have their careers die a horrible death.

     

    Also, it's the Raiders. Sure, they have a ton of first round picks, but I'd think the odds are better than that they botch those too.

    Agreed we don't know much yet.  This could be a simple case of him just trying to get some sex for money from an adult woman which while illegal isn't super huge.  

     

    Or it could be him being involved in human trafficking or underaged prostitution which would be massive and would likely not only involve prison but also involve a forced sale of the Patriots.  

     

    In that event, wouldn't everything just go to his son Jonathan?

    My point is simple till the season or even pre season starts .. the champs are #1 till proven otherwise..

     

    But sometimes it's easy to know when the defending SB champs won't have a good shot at getting back. The Ravens in 2012 lost a lot of key pieces the following offseason (mostly on defense) so it was a pretty easy call to not label them as the best team going into 2013 (and to call them the best team in the league in 2012 would be a bit of a stretch, IMO 2012 was the year that everything came together for them). The 2015 Broncos had Peyton retire (granted, he had nothing left in the tank at that point), so you'd imagine that they wouldn't get back to the SB with a no-name at QB.

     

    And sometimes the team that does win the Super Bowl wasn't the best team in the league that year.

     

    The 2008 Steelers, while a very good team, was able to get to the Super Bowl and win it, thanks in part to a Brady-less Patriots and a weak Colts team that year. Going into 2009 they had to contend with the Colts (which IMO 2009 was Peyton's most impressive season for me) and a Patriots team that got Brady back.

    What’s sad is espn also has the DEFENDING SB champions not at 1 not at 2 not even at 3 but 4!! Tells you how silly and dumb these things are!

     

    Usually NE is at 1 for the following season even in the years they don't win or even make the SB. To me, I have them penciled in as the AFC Champs next year and a tossup to win the Super Bowl (which has been my position for the past several years). But I don't think being the defending SB Champ should automatically vault you into the #1 spot for the next season. Would anyone make a case for the 2015 Broncos being the favorite to win the Super Bowl in 2016? Or even the 2012 Ravens?

    The Pats are well coached, disciplined, well prepared, they are never a highly penalized team, they get rid of players who don't buy in (even good ones), etc. Some think it's preferential treatment and luck, but I think they're just a well run organization, and they put the players in position to perform like no other team does. The saying goes 'luck is when preparation meets opportunity,' and I think the Pats are a great example of that. 

     

    Eh, some people call them disciplined, others call it favorable treatment by the officials...

     

    (I know some teams are more disciplined than others, but you can't tell me you can go an entire game without a single penalty, which only ever seems to happen to the Patriots.

    2020 will feature 

    Alabama in the title game

    Patriots in the Superbowl

    Red Sox in the world series

    LeBron in the finals

     

    Some would call those BOLD predictions... But they aren't lol

     

    *Curry

     

    If LeBron was still in Cleveland we'd have another Cavs/Warriors Finals.

  8. So two of Brady's rings were won by Vinatieri. Two of them were won with their opponents not running the ball to close out the game. One was with a QB puking on the field, and another was with his opponent playing outright terrible.

     

    So excuse me for not calling him the GOAT.
