Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Um... MN had Moss first. If these idiots had paid any attention when he was here the first time, none of this would be surprising.

And Childress is a moron of the highest order. 12 men in the huddle in the NFC championship is all you need to know about his coaching ability.

Chili: "Hm, Moss disrespected me. I'll just cut him. I don't think Wilf or anyone else in personnel management will mind, so I won't bother telling them. I'll just tell the team. They might be a little disappointed, but they'll get over it. Besides, we still have our Savior BrettFavre to coach lead this team."

Childress is clueless. He's already lost control of the team to Brett Pevre. (Minny commenters name for him, not mine). Now he's cans a guy who they just forked over a pick and millions of dollars for all because the coach is too stupid to integrate him into the offense.

I don't get it. Why do coaches like Childress, Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, etc keep getting jobs? Its plainly obvious to even the most casual fan that these people are in over their heads. Strange.

I don't think you can count Childress in that group...this is his first head coaching job.

And like Bakunin said...no one in MN should be surprised by his comments...

Mankins to return earlier than expected:

Pro Bowl Patriots guard Logan Mankins will report to New England on Tuesday and sign his restricted free agent tender worth $1.54 million, a league source said Monday night.

Mankins was originally offered a tender worth $3.26 million. When he failed to sign the tender by midnight on June 14, the Patriots reduced the tender to $1.54 million, which will be further reduced because it will be prorated over the remaining nine games of the season.

Mankins is signing sooner than expected. The common thinking was that Mankins would report by the final deadline of Nov. 16, making him eligible to be paid and play in the final seven games because the Patriots had their bye in Week 5. By signing sooner, the Patriots will be able to activate him when they believe he is ready to play. He could play as early as Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Mankins to return earlier than expected:

Happy with this. Can we somehow find a way to move a lineman over and put Light on the bench?

Connolly played tackle in college but I can't see them going with him over Light at LT.

Aside from giving Bob Kraft credit for drafting Tom Brady, this is a pretty good profile of the Patriots' owner: http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.co...-true-patriot/

Looks like the Titans picked up Moss.

I hope the camera is on the coach's face when he realizes Moss dogged it.

But it won't matter. Pats 27, Vikings 17.

Very impressive. Close to 28-18. But you didn't predict Favre's knockout.

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Sounds like they're activating Mankins for Sunday, which means the 54th-man exemption is gone, and they're apparently cutting Terrence Wheatley? Huh.

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Not sure how to feel about the Browns. Everyone thinks this is going to be a close game and I'm inclined to agree. I don't feel that the Pats are actually the best team in the NFL. Yet. There are too many things on offense and defense that aren't there yet.
