Players get hurt, that's the game, but I can assure you no coach would ever tell his players to play to injure others, nor would he condone it. He'd be drummed out of the league, and so would the player. Warren Sapp made a perfectly legal hit on a guy who wasn't paying attention a few years back, and put him in the hospital. Both of them were miles away from the action, and definitely out of the play. What got Sapp into deep water was his casual attitude toward the injury, not the hit itself. He didn't care one whit that the guy might never play again. He as much as said so in every interview. I watched him VERY closely after that, and lo and behold, people were beating the shit out of Sapp at every opportunity. Strangely enough, he changed his tune and the beatings stopped.Yes, I'm sure every other team would breathe a sigh of relief if Brady got hurt, but I assure you, the player who deliberately tried to injure him would pay dearly, in more ways than one.
Deadlord39 wrote:As an addendum: I hear a lot about how if Brady went down the team would fall apart. Has that not ALWAYS been the case with the Colts? Anyone even know who the Colts backup QB is? Do they even HAVE one?Brady is so pissed off right now he'd play if he was missing a limb; I would be too if I had his ability and everyone in the league was claiming I was only doing well because of videotaping. Believe me, I know this team like the back of my hand and they are BULLSHIT that the league as a whole implied that they were not "the real deal" (the exact words Crayton used after they got shellacked). I have no probs at all with him being out there. It's a job. If they don't win the Lomby this year, so what, it was a good year and I enjoyed watching the games. In the meantime, if you play the Pats, best be ready to pay the piper.
Deadlord39 wrote:Mikey, when you talk about Tony Homo and Favre laughing it up, you're right, but you're forgetting one small detail: no one has insulted them the way Brady and the Pats in general have been insulted.Belichick will not leave NE. I've read several books on the guy, and I've followed him since WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before he came here. He is totally, 100% obsessed with football and winning. He is NOT interested in "starting over" and building up a shit team into a champion.You don't live here, so you don't know what the mentality is. I know people who would rip out their kids' kidneys and donate them if Billy needed one. He is without question THE most loved sports coach of ANY sport here, EVER. He knows it; he isn't going anywhere.If teams didn't want the Pats to humiliate them with FU touchdowns, they should have shut their asses after the fine and draft pick penalization. But no, everyone had to run their mouths. Well, rest assured the Pats will take the price out of their hides and prides. No one's gonna get to Brady, and anyone who starts playing breakneck football will get his ass handed to him by the entire league. NO ONE in the league likes breakers; they never last long.

NE clearly have theirs and everyone else doesnt like it....cest la vie. things will eventually balance themselves out somewhere along the line.for me...i still hope for a Jets resurgence, preferably in the NE game. at least make a good accout of the team for a change!Al

I believe it was a combination of union seniority/priority and the company thinking that they no longer required proofreaders since the new equipment included spell checking...(wee awl no how well those work!).
