I was reading the Wells report today (for the first time since it came out) - one of the things that struck me was that they talk about deleted text messages on Jastremki's phone. The reason I found this interesting is that I think we've been thinking that there would be nothing to be gained...

I didn't expect the Patriots to win last night and had picked the Chiefs in the suicide pool over on PatriotsPlanet (which I've pretty much given up because it's impossible to talk about the Patriots realistically without being banned). Since they lost to Miami, this team has been reminding me...

I'm not extrapolating anything about "the rest of the country" - there is some kind of summer camp near where I live where I see little kids playing tackle football (or really just doing drills - I've never stopped to see a game) - I don't know what percentage of them come from the town. I'm...

Excellent article. I'm not at the point where I'm going to stop watching the NFL but I am very aware that the sport as we know it is on its last legs. It's not a question of how many more generations - more like how many more years. I marvel at the sight of young children in some summer...

I too have been reading the Saints message boards. In fact I saw this thread referenced on one of their boards. It's all pretty funny. I guess maybe Patriots fans were like this in 2001, but I don't remember. The Saints fans remind me a lot of Panthers fans back when the Panthers...

Re: Adam Sheffter: Peppers trade not going to happen I haven't read all this thread but happened to hear Schefter on WEEI this morning. I googled around looking for a place to discuss the interview and discovered I have an account on this message board... I thought it was an amusing...

yes, everybody "steals signals" - that's part of the game - something you are supposed to do. it's why they have signals in the first place, and don't just announce on the public address system "the defense will be executing a safety blitz on this play." I am very disappointed that the...

Hmmnn... why do I care? well let's see, I care because I am fan of the New England Patriots and they lost a first-round draft pick over absolutely nothing? Am I supposed to explain why I care about the Patriots? Yes, okay, I admit, it's all a ridiculous waste of time, following football...

Everybody does what exactly? Everybody has some kid videotape the defensive coaches on the opposite bench? I don't understand this "everybody does it" angle anyway. It seems to me to be completely beside the point, and I can't even figure out what the "IT" refers to. I think Belichick...

I prefer simply "ManBoobs". I don't think we need another nickname for the guy, but that's just me. :-)

I agree with Peter King on this and I don't understand why all Patriots fans apparently don't feel the same way. I guess some of you guys don't care about losing a first-round draft choice or the fact that other teams (and their fans) will continue to question the validity of the Patriots'...

Haven't read much of this thread, but two things: 1. The Patriots are blowing people out, this season. I love it. I am sure some day Belichick will write a book about it and allude to the fact that people questioned all those SuperBowls being won by one field goal, and how they were...

I was driving around all day, watching the TV broadcast and listening to the game on WBCN - very confusing stuff. I was sure the score was 3-0 when Gil Santos told me it was 14-3 (not 14-0, I heard 14-3, which lead me to conclude that he was talking about some other game and my attention had...

Re: Bronco Dopehead,Texans WRs beat up [merged: Travis Henry busted] I agree 100%. I wish more people were outraged by this. Is Marijuana supposed to be a "performance-enchancing" drug? Would he be banned from the NFL for parking tickets?

Seriously, I'm having trouble responding because I have discovered that there is surprisingly little about the categories of apperception on the internet. I may have found a new hobby. I could be original author of the first expanded wikipedia article on the subject. Just to be clear, it...
