It's over when PFT says it's over!

Florio wrote a piece suggesting that Brady and the NFLPA needed to take this to the Supreme Court because of principle, but I think the thinly veiled reality is he wanted it to happen for his own benefit.

This thing going to the Supreme Court would have been a dream come true for old Mikey. As a former lawyer, he could have been front-and-center on the coverage of one of the biggest NFL stories in history. The exposure involved might have been a virtual "star turn" for him.

But it's not... gonna... happen.

In the end, it might not be a bad thing for the Pats. They win 10 games every year. With Brady getting up there in age, not having to go through a full 16 game schedule could work out in their favor having a fresh Brady for the playoffs.

I'm surprised. I'd hate to be the Cleveland Browns when he returns though.

Might be the opposite. Brady is how old? It takes time to acclimate to the NFL season . . for most 25 years olds. At 39 or 40 or however old Father Tom Time is, it's going to be rough no matter how much of that snake oil he sips from his buddy.

Cleveland doesnt have much of an offense, but they have a D that likes to hit. I dont think the players are going to welcome him back in the sense of "hey Tom, good to see you again" so much as it will be "Hey Tom, I saw how you stepped right to the front of the line in front of everyone else with serious grievances with the NFL just to defend your lies and waste everyone's time"

 

Also, RGKnee will likely be starting. Wouldnt it be great if Bob notched one up for the league?

I never understood this narrative. Their odds of losing the first 4 games have gone up right? So you concluded their odds of winning the last 12 games have gone up?

 

He doesnt seem to be tired in week 16 and the playoffs every year. He just seems older and weaker in general. Its not like he needed more rest to win that playoff game last year right?

It'd be a good test for Brady. Pats got a lot of weapons though - Gronk, Bennett, Lewis, Blount, Hogan, Edelman, Amendola plus the OL healthy and they brought back their old OL coach. He probably won't have to do as much.

Amendola is a weapon?

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      By strato · Posted

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
