Yeah, it was a good game. Congrats to New England.

The Pats managed to squeak out a 4 point victory against the Colts, who played without two of their biggest four offensive weapons (Harrison and Gonzalez.)

You must be so proud.

you mean this one?


yes, the sincerety just drips off of it.

What's that I smell... sniff sniff...

yep, smells like sore loser! hahahaha

What, you want I should hang a Pats banner from the rafters and proclaim that all other teams are not worthy?

WTF, dude. I said Congrats. What else is necessary to please you?


Nah, that's the pigeon shit on your shoulder. I'm not sore at all.

ok, maybe I'm crazy.

Maybe when you say something like "Nice going, BUT, blah blah blah" that is a genuine complement instead of a backhanded insult.

That's the most likely explanation. I don't mean to get all Occam's Razor on you, but.....


Or maybe I can make a compliment AND make an observation at the same time.

Like: Wow, that route was really enjoyable, but it sure seemed like the bolts were awful close to each other.

Not everyone is limited to thinking of one thing at a time, CI.

Good point reno. You posts often contain a lot of good content, except for when they're impossibly stupid.

Ugh, enough of that.

I say congrats to the Pats - good game. It was exciting to watch and I rarely can sit still for longer than 2 qtrs.

But Chad I'll never cheer for them - they have Randy f***ing Moss and I can't stand the bastard.

Do you think his work ethic & attitude have improved?

Yeah, it was a good game. Congrats to New England.

I haven't followed him much in past years but all the local beat guys who actually have access to the locker rooms say he's a model teammate. Shows up early, watches a ton of film, listens to coaches, Brady, talks a lot to other receivers. And he doesn't say ANYTHING in the media. People even asked him if he'd be seeking a contract extension this week in the bye week, trying to get some money and he refused the bait.

Could be that all the past years it was just frustration of having a ton talent and not enough around him, being on losing teams. I imagine that gets old no matter who you are. Could be that he really is the arrogant selfish asshole he had a rep for prior to coming to Foxboro and since he's in the middle of a career year he simply has nothing to bitch about. I guess only time will tell.

But so far, man he and Brady are fun to watch. The Moss one-handed grab over the middle yesterday was a thing of beauty.

i'd say it's a credit to the pats team and coaching staff to have been able to motivate him to play at his best. When they made the deal, I admit I thought it was a bad idea, bringing a poisonous player into their locker room. Glad to see he's been able to turn it around.

But that last comment, coming on the heels of your critique, had a, let's just say, heavy stink of the snide about it, which made your whole post come off as rather ungracious.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Anymore excuses? At least we didn't run the score up so they wouldn't have to cry to their mommys like the other teams have done

9-0 by 1 point or by 35 a win is a win

could you please post an incident of indy not winning OR losing with absolute class? thanks in advance.

That's the thing, and no offense to any of his previous quarterbacks or teams, but he's never had this level of talent all around him. He can "take a play off" and not stand out because he's not "THE GUY". Welker, Stallworth, Watson, Faulk, Gaffney... any one of them can pick up the receiving slack. And that makes me wonder if some of the grief was unfair back in Minnesota. Randy was nearly the only weapon so any play he wasn't 100% on stands out.

All that said, if Moss does turn around, demand a new contract, ask for 10-12 million a year, don't be surprised if he gets cut loose.

Do the Pats have room in their cap to sign him? For some reason I thought they couldn't afford to resign him. Anywho, other than the fact that he operates in a world where there is no offensive pass interference, I think Randy Moss one of the only universally likeable players on the Patriots. Moreover, Welker, Stallworth and Watson are not top receivers (without Brady anyway). I don't think any of those guys are in the same league as Randy Moss. It does seem to me that he is turning into a Deion Sanders/Soldier of Fortune.

I wouldn't be at all surprised (and more than a little pissed) if he gets signed by the Cowboys. Because of some bullshit rule, the get to allocate most of Romo's new contract to this season so that leaves them with plenty of room to sign him and Deion Moss gets to jump ship in favor of another Super Bowl hopeful.

i don't know what this "skip" is...i was at the game and it WAS loud...

and i don't want to argue with you either, but i think it's a bit sour for the pats to be saying that AFTER a win like that.

outside of addai and moss, nobody on either offense had a day to write home about.

Do you think TO and Moss could coexist on the same team?

I sure don't.

Believe it or not, I think they could. I frankly am amazed that TO has been as contained as he has been for the last two seasons.

That said, I don't think my opinion matters much. I do think that Jerry Jones thinks that the Cowboys organization makes a difference (which is why the grabbed TO in the first place). I would love to see them chase Moss and have sparks fly all season.

If you look at the Bengals with Johnson and Housh, two super star receivers doesn't seem to have a negative effect on either one of them (granted they are different personalities but at the end of the day all top tier receivers are showboating whining bitches to some degree or another).

I think it could either make the 'boys unstoppable or it could make them implode. While I'd like to see them implode, I'd personally rather not run the risk of that combo cutting the other way. But I think Moss going to Dallas is strong possibility (whether I like it or not, or whether it would work for them or not). Bottom line is that they are probably going to look to replace Terry Glenn sooner rather than later.

interesting. I think it would be fun to see a team with two top recievers and a good qb.

And I think Moss could handle it better than TO. I think TO has the biggest ego in the league, and if Moss outshines him in a few games, I don't think he could take it.

I mean come on. He ripped on Donovan!
