RB Laurence Maroney is the latest example of how good the Patriots are at building their team through the NFL draft.

I know most people around the league are tired of hearing about the Patriots and how they remain an upper level team despite personnel changes every year. Well, that's a shame because people should be paying attention. Maroney is a case in point but only one of many. Watch the Deion Branch situation play out. By the end of the year Seattle fans will wonder what all the fuss was about and NE fans will be giggling politely. Willie McGinest will make a lot of money in Cleveland, but he is past being able to lead a defense in a physical every down mode. They may not win the Super Bowl, but unless the wheels come off suddenly they will be strongly in the mix again. Every year they make adjustments to personnel and the reponsibilities therein. Love or hate em, who cares, they win.

i hope a crippling, debilitating disease happens to find its way into the locker room

They have a disease that cripples and debilitates their opponents, it is called winning.

ssigs you seem to be a troubled young man....have any old grudges on your mind?

ssigman · October 3rd, 2006, 12:48 PM

haha they are in my division...am i suppose to love them??

BaldBil · October 3rd, 2006, 12:58 PM

Nnooooo. Don't love em, hate em. That why this is fun. I am not looking forward to the second Jets-Pats game, the Jets will be a better team by then.

i was wondering if they had any amish schools in massachusetts???

BtownBeers · October 3rd, 2006, 01:11 PM

Patriots locker room = Amish school (in NE)

BaldBil · October 3rd, 2006, 01:29 PM

No I don't think so. Lots of catholics and such. Big group of Mormons(the Gov is one). In Salem we actually have a very large group of wiccans and pagans and they are fascinating.
