This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever read. We're one of the most popular franchises in sports. We receive insane ratings. The NFL makes a boatload of money off of games in which the Patriots are involved. Goodell is having wet dreams at the possibility of a Patriots Super Bowl in New...

No. I don't. But I know that the "knowledge" piece is something blown out of perspective by fans (and our fan base more than any should understand that, having defended Spygate.) I believe that a team learns the most about an opponent by facing them, and a close second is scouting actual film...

So then you think that he signed this contract with the intention of just exchanging cash for information, that he would think said information is valuable, and that he believes the Colts are using him for valuable information and is OK with that? Despite their need to sign a WR for depth, that...

I guess my next question probably answers itself, but what the hell. Do you think that Deion Branch is going to provide the Colts with something they don't already know and/or will give them some sort of substantive advantage because he played for the Patriots last season?

So to make sure I understand...you're saying that Deion Branch should not continue to play NFL football because it may interfere with Julian Edelman, Nate Solder, Stevan Ridley, Chandler Jones, and Devin McCourty's ability to win a Super Bowl? Do you understand how insanely competitive pro...

:eek: :eek:

I like to think that I was only this predictable because you were fed inside information about my posting tendencies by one of my exes who signed up for this board within the past four days. No loyalty. *****.

I couldn't help it. Damnit.

But that makes the assumption that he cares about a "Patriots legacy" or that it can be tarnished by one game. Ty Law seems to be doing OK on the pre game/postgame shows despite having played for the Jets. Unless you've been in that desperate position that many athletes are in where they...

And for the record, as a fan, I don't like seeing Branch in a Colts uniform. Primarily because he's a guy I liked and they're a team that used to be a pretty heated rival. But I get it.

Well, I'm in the film for which you chose your username after. So there's that. But primarily, it's because I understand the NFL and the mentality of players who compete at that level.

If a guy who hasn't played all season "stands in the way" of anyone, they probably don't deserve to win anyways. Again, I'd have no issue with your point of view if you just said "Deion Branch was on the Patriots and it makes me mad that he's playing for the Colts because I don't like them."...

That's the greatest smiley I've ever seen.

Except that he's right and you are wrong.

So basically, so long as the situation fits with your subjective homeristic matrix about what best fits the Patriots point of view, it's kosher? At least we're making progress.
