Anybody but NE. That’s who I’m rooting for.

I root against anybody who went to Serra.

Tough but fair!

As for the article itself, Kraft responded a bit here: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/01/06/new-england-patriots-robert-kraft-bill-belichick-tom-brady-espn

Hard to really know what to make of it. The reaction from plugged-in fans seems to be that the part where Kraft supposedly told Belichick to trade Jimmy seems really implausible, but with the Guerrero stuff there's definitely some smoke, although some particulars in the story have been refuted (Jimmy was never turned away, apparently he had his own key to the place). I'm sure that the author isn't making stuff up, exactly, he really did have sources saying that stuff, but it's probably been hyped up a bit.

It'll be really interesting to see what they do in the draft this year, they have to take a shot at a QB. Hopefully there's another Garoppollo hiding out there...

Go Bells.

And if you read about how Serra handles some of their internal problems, you wouldn't support Serra either.

Not to worry.  They got Brian Hoyer, a friend of Brady's...apparently.  Now that Goff is playing well, perhaps they can pick up former San Jose/Foothill/Oregon State product Sean Mannion from the Rams.  He was supposed to be the next Kirk Cousins.

By 1965, it was the Bellarmine Bells, which had won 31 in a row by the end of the season.  Coach Hanna's Bells outscored opponents by a combined 310-6 that season.

Re: OT: The NE Patriots - dabigv13 - 01-06-2018

Saw Julian Edelman acting like a brobdingnagian douche in a bar in SF. And Tom Brady and his voodoo TB12 scam he's running, and cheating Belichik....easy to root against.

I root against Skunkbears.

I'm the only guy in town that was clamoring to trade Brady and keep Jimmy G - as the Niners wisely did with Joe Cool and Steve Young.

I can see Belicheat leaving if he can't develop a successor quickly.

Re: OT: The NE Patriots - PVTree - 01-08-2018

I don't like the Cheaters. I particularly have a distaste for Brady from my time living in the Boston area and being surrounded by their happy-arse fans.

I'm guessing Belicheat and Brady leave the Patriots together. I don't think BB has the patience to suffer through years of poor QB play. Unless Brady is suspended or hurt, the future replacement won't get much on field training.
