    Where did "We've got Moss!" go?

    We do have Moss. http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/10156954 I tried to post the following and got "invalid thread." He still has to pass his physical. Yet another example of how running a classy, professional organization leads to good things. Moss wasn't willing to cut his salary to play...

    Still think Piolichick is leaving N.E.?

    Not long ago, I was told here on the Planet that the Pats were loading up for a last hurrah before Pioli and Belichick left for greener pastures. I won't name names, but does anyone want to change their mind after we moved a 1st and a 3rd to next year? Still think Bill and Scott are planning...

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/russia/article/0,,2056321,00.html The Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky has told the Guardian he is plotting the violent overthrow of President Putin from his base in Britain after forging close contacts with members of Russia's ruling elite. In comments which appear...

    Tax tales

    You either filed your taxes three months ago or you're just beginning 'em now. Fess up to whether you're a perpetual procrastinator (like me), and share any stories you might have that will help us feel less alone as we struggle to file our taxes (or extension forms) on time. Yesterday...

    Trade players drafted with compensatory picks?

    NFL teams are not allowed to trade compensatory draft picks. They are, however, allowed to trade drafted players (like Eli Manning). Can they trade players drafted with compensatory picks? If so, could the Patriots agree with another team during the draft that they'll swap players with them...

    Didn't today feel like Christmas?

    I've been smiling all day long. As we close in on midnight, I feel like I've opened gift after gift all day long. And today gives the Pats so much flexibility heading into the draft. They'll get full value for their #1s, not have to do something out of desperation. What a wonderful feeling...

    Thank goodness I left "Strategy" to Vol 3!

    "When reached last week in San Diego, [Chargers GM A.J. Smith] had just finished re-reading Management Secrets of the New England Patriots, volumes one and two, by James Lavin." (www.projo.com/patriots/content/projo_20070109_09jdcol.3187146.html) Luckily, I left "Strategy" to Vol 3. ;) --James

    "Belichick privately fearing he could lose his team"

    Does anyone know what John Tomase's talking about when he writes (http://patriots.bostonherald.com/patriots/view.bg?articleid=174636&format=text), "Branch was shipped to the Seahawks for a first-round pick in early September. Patriots players were shocked, with Belichick privately fearing he...

    Anyone seen KenJr?

    I misread the "What are the last five books you read?" thread. :coffee: As I read through it, the number of links kept growing, so I thought it was from today. :dom: I was therefore thrilled to see posts from KenJr. But I just realized most of those posts are many months old. Now I'm crushed...

    Go Pack!!!

    Thank goodness the Patriots defense knocked only the Packers' backup QB out for the season. We need Favre to beat the Seahags tonight to improve our bonus 1st Rounder this spring. Gives those of us not playing Fantasy Football a reason to remotely care about tonight's game. --James

    Would you rather win Week 1 ugly or in a rout?

    Would you rather win your opener in a blowout or a nail-biter? Today's win won't cause any Patriots to become complacent, and that makes me happy. It will also force them to take their road trip to Buffalo very seriously. Another big plus. (The 2003 Pats' opening day 31-0 dismantling by Buffalo...

    World's newest Pats fan (I'm a daddy)

    Daryl Yisheen Lavin was born Wednesday (July 26th), just in time for training camp. He and his mom are both doing well. Daryl took his parents by surprise. Our first sign of anything unusual was the sudden start of labor and breaking of water at 4:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. Daryl was out by...

    Line of the day

    Rodney a Hall of Famer?

    I wrote last year that if Rodney comes back from his injury he's got a very legitimate chance to make the Hall of Fame. Well, I just read Hall of Fame voter Cliff Christl say, "Rodney Harrison might have been a third [NFL elite Patriot], too [after Brady and Seymour]. He could be a Hall of...

    Stan Jaksina takes fair-weather Pats fans to the woodshed

    I quite enjoyed this article: www.patsfans.com/12th/2003/story/display_story.php?story_id=5897 No one's happy to lose McGinest, Vinatieri, Givens, Ashworth, etc., but exactly which player(s) would you have given more to? And do you really trust your judgment more than the joint decisionmaking...
