    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here that fascinated me is footage of Brady in a Riddell Revolution helmet. Given that those got rolled out in 2002, whoever said a lot of the practice footage is from ~2003 when Rodney was there is probably right. I know Tom wore a later Revolution model...

    Bruins Acquire Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov

    I grew up in Yarmouth playing football with Eric's son and our families spent a decent amount of time together - great, great guy. Think they still live there. On topic, I come to this forum to see how I should feel about moves like this and glad to see I should be thrilled.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Pretty much exact same reaction here - was also sitting silently and my gauge was waiting to see the Seahawks start celebrating as I watched the play through my fingers on my face as though a kid would watching a horror movie. In a split second I think huh, they didn't celebrate. Incomplete...

    Patriots' Priorities for the 2023 Season

    There's a mutual admiration society between him and BB: https://www.azcardinals.com/news/cardinals-wr-deandre-hopkins-appreciates-praise-from-patriots-bill-belichick Certainly not the only factor in deciding a destination, but counts for something.

    Patriots' Priorities for the 2023 Season

    A little, maybe, but I completely agree. The guy clearly has good hands, is incredibly quick (can't find any 3-cone times), and as we've seen can be very elusive. I have trust in BB/team to find another cornerback. People talk about getting Mac someone with game-changing speed - he's already on...

    What was your favorite Tom Brady moment?

    For a moment that hasn't been mentioned yet (in a loss to boot), the 4th-and-10 throw to Gronk to keep the game/season alive against Denver in the 2015 AFCCG. Epitomized to me no matter how far down the chips may look there was always a chance and that if there was, he'd pull through.

    ROUND 1: Patriots shuffle off to Buffalo

    I was at the MNF wind game, and in chatting during the tailgate I was told that the secondary market has been tanked all year due to the vaccine mandate. SS of 1 but he was a lifer there so have to assume he had something to go off of and I imagine that's a factor here too.

    2020 NFL: Gambling Thread

    Nowhere else to put this so I'm posting here that I have both the Eagles and the Bengals in a wins pool and I am livid, but also not sure what I expected.

    2020 Gronk Watch: Gronkmania

    Yeah, that's an understandable take. Won't argue on being frustrated right now.

    2020 Gronk Watch: Gronkmania

    How does this make any difference for a total blow-up right now? Gronk wasn't playing for the Pats this year.

    2020 Gronk Watch: Gronkmania

    Only one off the top of my head I can think of is Brissett for Dorsett. I'm sure there have been a couple others but it's definitely less common for BB.
