Just curious as to why the media is now second guessing stuff? I know the Patriots didn't look very good Sunday, but I cite a few examples... 1 - The idiocracy of Tom Jackson. He claimed, when we traded Randy, that the Patriots had "given up on the season". Then, they rolled and he praised...

Not being able to check this more than a few times a week (work frowns upon it), I wanted to see what you think about my thoughts on the Moss trade.... i believe there are a few possibilities. 1 - I think we package up some of the early draft picks and go after some defensive help. BB has...

This is actually something I haven't seen debated, so if it has been, my apologies. I think we all know the Steelers are shopping Ben.....how do you think it affects the draft if Oakland (or another team) bites on the deal? Obviously, it shakes things up quite a bit. Speaking of the draft...

I have been searching for days online for a specific picture and was hoping for some direction here. My daughter and I were at the 2007 Playoff game between the Pats and the Jags. I saw a Panoramic Photo of Gillette Stadium on opening night and was wondering if anyone could tell me where I...

It's amazingly quiet at work today, so while I enjoy my soup for lunch, I have a few random thoughts. 1 - I was thrilled to see the Patriots defense in the "confuse the QB" look....many times, they all milled around until right at the snap! That was back to the Superbowl winning days when we...

I know the post-game coverage has been focused on Wes Welker, rightfully so. he had an AWESOME game. However, I want to get the comments on Wes' "mini-me", Julian Edelman. That young man was a fantastic pickup in the draft! He was a fairly decent QB, but I think the system in NE has turned...

Getting my game prep stuff ready for high school football. I do a play by play broadcast for a local radio station, and we're in week 2 of our High school playoffs. I think we've got a great game here in WV. What about other states? I know many states do "districts", and some don't start...

This debate is raging here in WV, so I thought I'd ask my fellow Planeteers. Obviously, I'm thrilled anytime WVU gets on National TV. That being said, playing college football on a Friday night is wrong, in my opinon. Not sure how it is in other states, but Friday night is High School...

As a staunch supporter of the WV Mountaineers, I just wanted to take a minute to say how classy I thought the coaches, team, and fans were Saturday. ESPN has been talking it up. Of course the UCONN player who was murdered was a bit story, as it should have been. Attention needs to be drawn to...

Does it seem to anyone else that the Patriots defense isn't really agressive anymore? Not so much on the pass rush, but the secondary. Seemed to me that we played off the receivers by several yards, which gave up a lot of yards. Baltimore's receivers would go 6-8 yards, turn in, and get the...

A lot has been written about the struggling offense, particularly Brady and the fact that he seems to be rusty. The thing that stands out to me is his behavior on the sidelines. I've noticed the last two weeks that he just sits on the bench, looks at a few photos, and then sort of stares...

I realize that the following comments come from a hometeam guy. I was so excited to read the speculation that Patrick White would probably be drafted by the Patriots. As a WVU fan, collegiately, and New England fan professionally, I was thrilled by the prospect of a Mountaineer playing for my...

I've been giving it some thought...perhaps these things have been hashed and rehashed, but just some random thoughts. 1 - Why are we not shopping Maroney? I, for one, have been utterly disappointed with his performance since we drafted him. He had a few good games, late in the season, but has...

I try to check in with the Planet at least once a day...busy work environment, but I try. I have seen the threads discussing Matt Cassell. The prevalent theme seems to be that he was franchised in order to get more value on the trade market. Obviously, the tag puts the Pats in a good...

First of all, I have a problem...if you look at the headlines to the right of the page on the Planet, every one of them says "Former Patriot Meggett charged with Rape". Am I mistaken? Were the Patriots the only team he played for? No...he played for the Giants as well. Why couldn't they say...

Just saw that the NFL "flexed" the Jets-Dolphins game to 4pm. Let's assume that the Patriots beat the Bills at 1pm. Would Mangini lose on purpose to screw us? If we win, and the Jets win, we have the Division...do you think he'd do it on purpose? I truly hope not, but history has shown that...

I've seen the various news stories and threads here on PP regarding snubs for the Pro Bowl. One of the missing players I have seen, and totally agree with is Steve Slaton. He has played extremely well...as a WVU fan, we really miss him in the backfield. I think the Mountaineers would have...

I've seen a lot of speculation that wonder-boy McDaniel moves on to a head coaching job, possibly next year. I've also seen speculation that Weis is out in Notre Dame, especially after a loss to Syracuse! So, what are your thoughts on Weis returning to New England as the OC, assuming McDaniel...

There's a huge debate at work on the broadcast of the game. MOST people do not get the NFL Network. I am fortunate to get it, as it's part of the DirectTV package. People here have cable systems and they CAN get it, at an additional "sports tier" fee, generally ranging from $6 to $12 extra...

First of all, it was a sad thing to see Rodney Harrison being carted off the field. He was obviously upset. Did anyone else read Bruschi's lips? when he came back to the sidelines, Belichick asked him a question, and Tedy's lips read "Knee". It was, according to Reiss, the quad, but he's...
