This morning I put an old Ron Borges quote about the Patriots in the Saints thread, to illustrate how negative the media has always been. It was fun reading it again. So as to not derail that thread, here are some more... Feel free to add to them.
"Belichick will not be so lucky. He doesn't have (Jimmy) Johnson's personality, which can be as jovial and charming as a snake oil salesman's. Worse, this Patriot team isn't going to win two Super Bowls any time soon..."
- Ron Borges, Boston Globe, 11/22/01
"On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second-best tackle in the draft in Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon." - Ron Borges, MSNBC after 2001 Draft.
"They traded for Bledsoe, spent about $22 million of their cap dollars on defense, and got Lawyer Milloy as the cherry on top with about $3 million top spare. That's why I've always felt Donahoe is the best at what he does in the league." - Nick Cafardo, Boston Globe
"...an arrogant oaf..." - Kevin Mannix on Bill Belichick after
