Report the facts you f’n useless c*nt, don’t attempt to create them.

I would like to believe that Brady really doesn’t care that much about the money and just wants to be in a situation he loves and has a chance to win.

I would also be fine believing that he and Yee have figured out that he is better off leaving some money on the table, winning with a better team and continuing to build his brand. He probably makes twice as much on his endorsement deals as he would by renegotiating his contract. This is more than just football compensation. Can you think of anyone out there who has a better brand right now? Maybe Michael Jordan? Lance?

Not Rocket Science.

Their constant bugging the players about their contract situation only aggravates the situation. There are 53 members of the team, not even considering free agents, so there are always plenty contract discussions going on and the best way to handle them is to keep them between an agent/player and the team. How comfortable would Felger be if his salary was the subject of constant public discussions or if his wife was constantly nagging him how underpaid he is?

It is difficult in sports because everybody’s compensation is public and players naturally compare themselves against other players with their current and past contracts. It is easy to feel like you are underpaid, but the team has to be smart and firm about it. It’s not like the Pats don’t spend the money. They are always spending to the cap and have one of the highest annual budget in the NFL. But when they don’t give out huge contracts, people call them cheap. Their believe is to have a deep team and they have been very successful with that approach.

Well done Bruce, could you get me an autographed tin foil hat from Guregian?

You know who screwed Brady in 2006? DEION BRANCH AND HIS AGENT, who decide to hold out of training camp even though he had a year left on his contract at the time, and then basically forced a trade out of town.

And the team did not lose the AFC title game that year because of the receivers. They lost because they were riddled with injuries and the flu on defense, and they defense wore down in the second half of that game (there also were three horrific calls and non-calls that went against the Pats in that game, but in the interest of not sucking on sour grapes, I will downplay that angle).

They lost the Super Bowl after the 2007 season because a team with a great Front 7 overwhelmed their All-Pro laden offensive line, and because of one of the flukiest plays in Super Bowl history (the Manning escape–again, aided by egregious non-calls by the officials–and the Tyree helmet catch).

I’m starting to expect this kind of nonsense from Felger, which really is too bad since he used to be good and fair before he became an electronic media whore. Why they ever chose Mazz to be his co-host is beyond me. He has displayed nothing but contempt for Patriots fans for years, yet this station saw fit to pair him with a football guy during football season?

Ridiculous all around.
