I have a pretty good feeling about the team so far, even though it is extremely early in the season. As such, I have decided to focus on this season only and...
That's SO great to hear Kevin!! I'm going to take that same stance this year...the old is GONE and is history. No one has brought anything up at all that I...
Ouch. Gotta disagree on "winning the division is a lock." What a jinx to say such a thing out loud. There's no such thing as a pre-ordained coronation (as...
Actually, Mike, I don't believe in jinxes. And I stand on my words. I truly do not believe any other team in the division can match up to the Pats. Also...
There are too many variables to be overly certain of any team's progress through a season. We have the seemingly strongest stance going into the mini-camp...
Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "Jinx", Kevin. Because I'm not superstitious. But I DO believe in karma. And saying, "winning the division is a lock" on...
I agree. Walk quietly and carry a big stick. A real big stick. ... From: Mike Benson <mbenson321@...> Subject: Re: [patriotzip] Re: Team Impression...
Seriously? Karma? Do you really think that what I write in a blog will have an adverse effect on a football season? I didn't realise I had that much power....
You plan to be wearing a banana on your head and chanting, "Boogity boogity boogity!, Kevin? Really? Well, that's interesting. But I hope to God you're...
Yeah, well, live and let live. I'll be a humble gentlemen and not respond to him directly. Waste of time anyway. Either you get that being humble is the mark...
I should calm down? Maybe you should grow a sense of humor! And you think I am a sad, sad man. And you won't respond to me directly. I don't know whether to...
Just to be very clear folks, no personal attacks are ever acceptable on this list. Disagree with points all you want but do so always without personal...
Respecting the opinions of others is something that I admittedly had trouble learning. It isn't an excuse, but rather simply a statement of fact. I was...
The NFL conducted a fan poll of over 200,000 fans asking them to rank the teams from 1 to 32. Who is number one? You'd think it would be the Superbowl champs...
Well we certainly can't claim to get no respect as the fans overwhelingly put us ahead of every other team. Given the results of the last season and the...
This list is bogus. I mean, did I miss something or is there no criteria for the ranking? Is it based on who you think is best? Who you root for? Who has the...
Kevin, I had not read your apology before I sent my last reply. Now I have. You are forgiven. Generally, since I joined this group, I have enjoyed the banter,...
I guess the short answer is yes. It's a fan poll but by making it based on a rating of 32 teams rather than just a few I think it was pretty fair, I may...
It's interesting at first blush. But I, too, think it's a mystery as to what they are ranking. Is it the teams they like the most or the teams they actually...
I wonder if the rankings are based solely on last year's performances, the last few years, or even if they account for free agent signings and draft results....
Don, also wanted to agree with you about the Pats being #1. And, the Giants led the league in sacks, didn't they? I heard they had the best pass rush last...
Patriots signed a veteran lineman, Oliver Ross. He's been around the block (no pun intended) a few times, but I don't remember seeing him play. He is...
Why is the list bogus? It says exactly what it is, a ranking of teams based on the opinions of some 200,000 plus fans. Probably all of the factors you ...
It's bogus because it reflects opinions on ranking NFL teams without instructing those those polled as to what constitutes the criteria for ranking the teams...
Somehow that doesn't seem too attractive...age, injury, etc. What do you think the "powers that be" see/saw in him, just imposing stature or what? ... From:...
.....excepting when Zip forgot to do his mojo dance....excepting when the defense had a real line... Erdoboy "He is BACK BABY!!!!" Sorry Zip, your string of...
Don, Mike and others, I think this is very clear. They are listing the most outrageous parking fees in the league multiplied by the number of people on the...
