is'nt it obvious that spector has an agenda and that is the comcast deal and the nfl is feeling the reprcussions of his wrath.  He want's to mess with the anti trust laws, if roger clemons did not get jailed or seriously in trouble for his actions, what the hell does arnold think is going to come about with the pat's issue.  MLB was about steroids and the whole organazation, sypgate is about bb cheating, got caught, got fined, got penalized, that's it.  Arnold, do you really think your constituents are going to back you in another wannabe Mitchell report?  Do you think they want to go thru that fiasco all over again?  And last but not least pat's bloggers, ask yourselves this,  If arnold spector really cared about the integrity about the game, then why did he not concern himself in the matter of the CHEATING REFEREES IN THE NBA?

ANSWER: NO AGENDA!

If there was ever a proof positive, definate reason to evoke an anti trust law and truly care abot the integrity of a game and and organazation that was a perfect time to seek out and do something about it, but Mr. Arnold Spector was never heard from or seen on the matter, again, because he did NOT HAVE AN AGENDA,  and he truly is a fraud as a human being

ok, according to my close and personal source from NEPW, there is in fact another tape out there of a rams walk thru.  Now, before we get into this I must tell you that John Thomase and my family source know each other very well.  John does stand by his source in the Feb. 3rd article in the Herald.  He also states that the source and the tape that started this whole fiasco was indeed about a walk thru.  He never said that Matt Walsh was the bearer of this news or tape.  There is another person or source out there with the real scoop and, or tape.  Now, whether or not this source comes out,  or this tape comes out, or actually exists is a whole other situation.  Which brings us back to the same situation as the Matt Walsh events.  In the end to sum this all up, it is up to Thomase to reveal this source, in return the source bring out the tape, which we all know will NEVER happen.  If not, there should be another Herald article by John explaining all of this, either way it puts him in a very awkward situation to prove and protect his credibility.  As far as the Arnold Specter and Matt Walsh meeting later this week, nothing new should come about because everything is out in the open now and unless Specter can bring about new information or prove something different, nothing will happen.  The only thing that can hurt the Pat's organization now is, the original source, and the original tape that started this whole thing actually come out to the public.  I was told chances are unlikely that this will happen.  Then, finally, hopefully, this will be in the past.

Matt, Matt, Matt, unbelievable Matt.  Well we should of expected it another fraud in the great world of sports, another dog trying to fetch a bone.  Matt Walsh surprisingly or not surprisingly has NOTHING!  The part that urks me the most is that and I quote, "We never claimed to have incriminating evidence on video of the walk thru."  Are you f-----g kidding me?  I heard those exact words quoted on ESPN radio this morning by Mike and Mike and I freaked out.  What the hell did you say then Mr. Lawyer?  What was this tape and everything we have been talking about for the last 3 months about then?  Well now we know why it took so long to turn over the tapes, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING, now we know why Matt and his dogs seeked out indemnity, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING.  The lawyers also claimed (no quote), that it was the Boston newspapers that suggested all of the walk thru information and heresay as well as other matters concerning this case.  WOW, what a lot of balls just turning the page like that when it all comes out.  Well, I wish I could see what the hell the discussion is going to be about on the 13th.  Oh yeah, by the way Mr. Arnold Spector, when all is said and done are we going to hear an apology from you? I THINK NOT.   It's men like Spector that make politicians look like total fools and are loathed by the public.  Well, I spoke my piece, I feel better now.  I am left with one word that sums this all up, and it's the word I started this post with, AMAZING!  

The patriots have just signed the punter Mike Dragosavich and tight end Tyson DeVree to undisclosed contracts.  Drago (for short) has hit the roof according to the news sources in the Dana Farber Bldg.  He was very impressive right off the bat obviously or else BB would not have signed him.  Tyson DeVree on the other hand was signed strictly for depth reasons.  I thought he would have been for blocking purposes but his size was not enough for that type of play.  Imagine just one day in minicamp and already 2 signings.  Now obviously there will be more contracts coming into effect, but for now BB must have gotten these guys for little money and as we always hear, "great value".  The point is you don't get the signing and value unless your a player and BB thinks guys are good enough, then that's good enough for me.

That's right Pat's fans, remember the name Kevin O'Connell.  Trust me when I tell you that BB is not comfortable and 100 per cent sure about Matt Cassell.  (my personal family source from NEPW).  I am just telling you what I know, and I know that BB just does not think that Matt is the answer after Tom is gone.  Now, back to Kevin, he has had tremendous upside his senior year and has shown a great deal of talent in every aspect of the qb position.  I was also informed that at least 10 teams were seriously  interested in this guy, but for some reason was overshadowed by qb's like flacco, braum, and deservingly so, Matt Ryan.  The reason those qb's were picked before KO was because the overall exposure in the conferences those guys played in.  Anyway, O'Connell first and best quality is his arm strength and accuracy.  He has both of those qualities down pat.  (no pun intended).  2nd, he is a qb that will step up in the pocket like Brady, but if nothing is there he has excellent scrambling ability.  He will move out, and he just won't move out he can and will throw on the run with accuracy as well.  Oh by the way, his speed is not to shabby either.  Now listen up Pat's fans, am I saying that Kevin is the next Tom Brady?  no.  Am I saying that he is the next qb in our system? no.  What I am saying is that if Kevin O'Connell pans out and is going to mature the way BB wants and expects him to then, bye bye Matt, he will be gone at the end of next year, and Kevin will replace him as our 2nd in charge.  Bottom line, if O'Connell becomes what BB hopes for then we have another GREAT qb for many years to come after Brady, without missing a beat!

Ok pulpit people I want to open a new can of worms here, and I want your opinion on this subject.  Tom and Giselle, first of all, is this the first time Brady has'nt shown up for the off season workout program?  I know after that loss he just wanted to get away and forget everything and hibernate with the hottest bear on this planet.  Seriously though, I get the feeling that he is getting, shall I say it, p----w-----d.  Again, who cares, It just seems like the control factor is diminishing a bit.  Giselle, like most women want it all from their men and every time young Brady comes into Tom's life, the jealousy factor goes off bigtime.  According to the Starbucks incident, and now going with him to La, La land when he visited his son seems like the claws are gripping into him more and more.  So listen up pulpits, I'm not going TMZ on you all, I just want to know if you feel if she is a negative or positive factor in his life and in the end do you think she will have that zealous way enough to harm him?  P.S. I'm bringing this subject up because a Dallas fan emailed me and mentioned the Romo and Simpson deal, and the fans out there feel that Brady, like Romo, are in the same situation, and I'm telling him no way not even close, that's why I want to see what you think.

SIKED!!!  The Pat's signing Victor Hobson is great!  He's right up Belichick's alley, he's strong and very tough and "extremely intelligent",quotes the Herald.  Not only that, he was a free agent and did not want to sign with the Jets again, he wanted the Patriots.  This is not just a fill in signing for the linebacker core this is a great pick up especially this late in free agency.  He is an excellent addition to the team.  It also takes the pressure off of the 7th pick for linebacker in case nobody decent is left.  Once again, SIKED!!!

I'm starting off by saying I know it's only preseason and it probably means nothing.  It is still a great challenge and way to start things off.  The first game at Gillette against the Ravens, yeah maybe just a little revenge factor still boiling in the Ravens minds.  They are off to Tampa for the 2nd game, then coming home again to meet the Eagle's.  I wonder what those guys are thinking.  The final game, preseason or not, I don't care, serious feelings from the Patriots hearts and minds will be felt when they face the New York Giants, and to top it all off thier playing at Giants Stadium.  Again, preseason or not, I hope we kill them, especially when both teams will be playing thier starters for most of the game.  Oh man, my blood is boiling already.  I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

naptime, let's start over,  you're not understanding the blog.  It clearly states that that one play simply stands out to me personally, that's it.  I know you have a play that sticks out to you, but I said in the blog, " I don't blame the game on him."  Please understand what your reading, it's all good!  peace bro.........

Allright, another year, another draft.  A decent
cure for the SB flu.  The Patriots draft is probably the most unpredictable of all the teams.  In the past what we needed most has not always been our teams selection.  I see this draft going 3 ways.  First, BB and Peoli doing what they have done in the past and trading the pick to acquire more bodies than just one.  Second, as we all know, DEFENSE.  For those of you counting on and hoping and maybe even praying for Vernon Gholston out of Ohio State I'm all for it.  The Pat's would probably put him outside with his other Ohio state alumnist, Mike Vrabel, then placing Adalius Thomas inside.  Here's the problem, the way Mangini and the Jets are loading up in the offseason with both thier o line, and d line, I would say those "bleeps" beat us to the punch with the 6th pick and get Vernon.  This leads me to my 3rd scenario, the corner position.  Dominique Rogers Cromatie out of Tennesee state, and Leodus McKelvin, Troy.  I would go with McKelvin because he has the top speed in the draft for the corners.  He is also a better all around player.  So there you have it, if I had to pick one I would say we will trade the pick away, 2nd, Gholston, if available, 3rd, McKelvin.  How does DE Phillip Merling out of Clemson sound?  

as we all know Brady's high ankle sprain is fine.  What I'm really glad to hear is that Stephen Neal's shoulder surgery went without a hitch and he is going to be ok.  His knee injury during the SB game had no future effects.  He's had some tough times the last 2 seasons, look for him to have a healthy and effective start in the 2008 season.

Fact: the Giants defensive line as we all know, outplayed and simply dominated the Pat's offensive line.  Whether or not you will all admit it pat's fans, we all have our 1 reason, our 1 play, and our main focused reason inside our minds that if so and so only did this the game would have been won by us. For me it is the missed catch by Mr. Samuel himself.  It's not so much the catch he didn't make, it's the fact that all year when Assnate made an interception he would make sure that all the Pat's nation knew about it.  How you ask, by that bold, selfish, armfolding stance and stare at all of us as to say, hey did you all see that, I made that interception, that's right me, on my contract year, why I don't deserve the big buck contract next year?  Come to think of it that stance always took place 1st, then celebration with his teamates 2nd.  Trust me I saw every game and I was looking for it every time, and when he made the turnover he never let me down.  He in fact was the only Patriot that possessed that selfishness, name me another, you can't.  So Assante I would have given you the credit for all those acts if only you could have come up with one more armfolding play in the most important time and game of all.  So unfortunatly, I can't blame the superbowl loss on you alone, but you and the lack of that catch will always be my 1 play that sticks out in my mind.  Good luck in Philly, do that there and they will really let you know about it.
