I understand your point with most players, but let's be realistic....this is Shelley Duncan, nobody's going to pay for his autograph (especially in the minors)

He will still do his wicked pissah webcasts....but now we have a pats fan on MNF! How long before he replaces Kornheiser in the booth?

This deserved it's own thread! http://townienews.blogspot.com/2007/09/that-new-job-i-was-tellin-you-about.html

Just to clarify he 'felt it' when running on the turf in Toronto, but didn't 'feel it' while in boston. So it's not terrible news!

Just heard on WEEI that Don Orsillo will be doing the play by play on Fox during the playoffs....probably too much to ask that he replace Joe Buck:)

I don't have a problem with it, I thought it was funny.....of course it would have been better to do that to an onlder kid or adult. Doing that to a young kid is a little off, but whatever

I agree. One thing that was interesting though is Jan hit the tip top of the upright on the 2nd attempt...and it was 52yards if i remember correctly. Quite the leg that guy's got!

Goodell going to be on NBC 'football night in america' before the game talking about the whole situation.

BB contract extension...happened before all of this http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3023193

Saw this; the story is this kid asked Duncan for an autograph and this is what Duncan gave him. http://multimedia.heraldinteractive.com/images/031df67a6b_091507yankautographmg01.jpg

I never said that, your putting words in my mouth. I find it ironic that all this happens in NY with a team he used to work for....considering that according to coaches past and present this is pretty normal. I'm not saying that pats shouldn't have been punished.... just ironic who he is going after and that fact that he won't let it end with his ruling

Look, I never brought this up before....but geez. They did something wrong, got caught, got punished, so let's move on. Enough with the commish now asking for more stuff (on gameday no less) with new punishments coming if anything is found. Instead of this being over the commish leaks the tape to Fox, and now will have this 'investigation' ongoing throughout the year. Just stupid

Right, they got caught and were punished....i'd like to move on. The reason i mentioned the Fox stuff today is they played the infamous tape and those were their comments on it

Ohh and let's not forget that Goodell is a former Jets employee

the commish asks for all the pats tapes from 2000 on....and then leaks the tape to the press! Nice control he's got over that office. Maybe when the commish calls and asks for the tapes, Kraft and BB just say "we took out the middleman and turned them over to FOX" On a side note all of the Fox guys today said that all the teams round the league do this. Jimmy Johnson said he was taught to do the exact same thing (with a camera) 18 years ago in KC. Howie said "all those coaches who called out BB, are hypocrites" It's over, i wish it would all just go away and we could get back to football

If i remember correctly, they had 2 already this year and traded their first pick this year (#24 i think), for SF pick next year. Then they drafted Meriweather at #26

Interesting read: http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Article.php?Page=1634 Here's an except:

Actually I just heard on WEEI that Andy Reid and Mike Martz both came out and said that the pats beat them fair and square in the superbowl, and that it's over with.

Colts are a good team, them, NE and SD should represent the AFC this year. I never said the pats will win the SB...i said we should win our division (afc east). The playoffs will def be interesting. Of course all of this is way down the road, and a lot will happen before then

tonight should be interesting with DiceK

Why do i have a sense of entitlement? I don't, but wondering why you think i do. I think we'll make the playoffs because the rest of the teams in the AFC east absolutely suck while we have a good team.....it's not a stretch to think we will win the afc east. If buf, ny, or miami had a half decent team i wouldn't say that. It's not set in stone, but we should win it....but thanks for comparing me to a yanks fan:rolleyes:
