Ok, I having been saying for a while that I would do this, so time to live up to that. Below is the letter I have written for Kraft. I haven't mailed it yet (I'm still at work), but will do so later. I encourage anyone else that wants to be heard to use my letter, either verbatim, or with...

Pole coming, wait for it....

Thought this was interesting enough to deserve its own thread. It addresses a lot of the biases we tend to bring to the drafting process and tears them down analytically, and also shows one more reason BB is way ahead of the curve. So read this and remember it when the Pats don't make a move...

Do you have what it takes to navigate the tumultuous NFL offseason like the Man himself? http://www.sbnation.com/2015/3/31/7979801/bill-belichick-offseason-simulator Let us know how you did. I was unable to launch any satellites, and I harvested 0 lbs of grain :(

So allow me to start of this year's cfb discussion with something that will surprise absolutely no-one: documents unsealed at the Todd McNair vs. NCAA lawsuit show that the NCAA ****ed McNair and USC because they wanted to, not because there was really anything to their case...

Looks weird spelled out in numbers, right? Anyway, as things start to settle in my head, thought I'd put down some random musings that occur to me - Why, in the Super Bowl, are excessive celebration penalties a thing? - Butler, fantastic play, but just go down in the EZ next time please, that...

My apologies to those who usually do the karma threads, but I feel a different kind of karma thread is appropriate here. For years we as fans, and more importantly, BB and the team, have had to put up with BS from low info fans, media, and league officials alike. They've turned more cheeks than...

I continue to be amazed at the night and day turnaround with his second stint on this team. Playing with discipline. Covering well while also supporting the run well. At first it made sense to wait and see over a larger sample of games, but I think, after another fine performance tonight...

I think it's about time we had this thread. To the slowest, but bizzarely moderately effective kick returner and clock burner, I raise a glass of eggnog! I've been a fan of Blount since Oregon (and is it wrong of me to say I enjoyed watching him crumple that mouthy second tier school idjit...

I've seen this come up a number of times in some of the other threads, so I thought I give it its own thread to keep it from getting lost amongst the (righteous) anger of those other threads. Can someone explain what the problem was with the playcalling, because I don't see it. The Pats had...

OK, had to start this thread just to call attention to the epic Manning face we had after his 2nd INT. I could almost taste those delicious tears! Other than that, this is a dumpster fire of a game so far

Discuss. I'm sure we all have opinions on this. He's still a tough litter bugger. He still gets open, mostly. But the drops. Ohhhh, the drops, always at the worst possible time. I wasn't able to find actual good stats on his drops comparing the last few seasons, but I'm gonna go out on a...

Hi All - I was hoping to use the collective resources of Patriot fandom to help me with a project I'm starting. I'm a 3D artist professionally for video games and lately I've been giving myself some projects to do to beef up my portfolio and hopefully land a better job. I've decided my next...

Coming into this season, all the talk was about how easy our schedule was, and how unfair/lucky it was that we would be able to walk into a first round bye. Now that our draw of NFCW has turned out to be the surprise 600 Lb. Gorilla of the league, as well as some other surprises, does anyone...

So, today the AFCEast joins the mighty NFCWest as the only divisions to have no teams with a losing record. We also become the only division to have no teams with a winning record, pending the result of the S.D. game. This clusterfunk of stinkiness requires a pole. Who's got it? Who's hot...

So, is anyone else watching Full Metal Jousting? I'm all of a sudden finding I can't get enough of it!

So, there were 2 moments, one from each game that had me geniunely rolling on the floor and braying like a hyena. For the people that know where these things are, or have the footage and can make them, I would love to see some gifs of these two moments, and possibly enshrine them in the gif...

http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/msn/titans_accuse_saints_of_cheating_by_blowing_whistle_on_the_sidelines/8681233 I think if this accusation holds up, it's worth at LEAST a couple first rounders :shake: Seriously, though - I'mnot as surprised as I might have been a couple years ago...

I was listening to herd on the radio this morning and he mentioned something called the 26-27-60 rule: supposedly a very good predictor of QB success in the NFL is if they score a 26+ on the wonderlic, start 27+ games in college, and complete 60% of passes in college. I was intrigued because...

Finally! Something to spice up those tedious masses! Careful! A little goes a long way!
