    Saints, Falcons, Jaguars (alas, but I need the Chiefs to eliminate the Patriots) and Chiefs.

      All is not well in Foxboro

      according to interviews with more than a dozen New England staffers, executives, players and league sources with knowledge of the team's inner workings, the three most powerful people in the franchise -- Belichick, Brady and owner Robert Kraft -- have had serious disagreements. They differ on Brady's trainer, body coach and business partner Alex Guerrero; over the team's long-term plans at quarterback; over Belichick's bracing coaching style; and most of all, over who will be the last man standing. Those interviewed describe a palpable sense in the building that this might be the last year together for this group.

        Interesting. Kraft is hardly going to go, so we are looking at a Brady retirement of Belichick out. More likely Belichick I would guess as he must be livid they got rid of Garoppolo if this is all true.

        Comment


          Yes, that would seem to be by far the most likely outcome, given that Kraft appears to have cast his lot with "TB12" and his faith healer.

          Perhaps the Niners could find a position for Belichick . . .

            He should have another go at the Browns and we could see if he truly is a miracle worker.

              That would cause ESPN to melt-down. The hotness of the takes would go supernova.


              Brady is like the John Lennon of football, isn't he? Clearly brilliant in many ways, but not nearly as brilliant as he thinks he is in areas outside his core competence, the beneficiary of being in the right place at the right time with the right people and not realizing that some of the other people around him now are not really good for him and they are alienating the people who actually helped make him what he is.

              Like Camelot, the thing in New England will end. Somebody will betray somebody and the Saxon hoards will overrun them.

                Not wanting to go too far into the hypotheticals, but - should the Patriots lose Belichick, their Offensive Coordinator (likely going to the Giants) and their Defensive Coordinator (Patricia is very highly rated)... I don't see Tom Brady's career making it to him playing at 42, let alone 45.

                It would be such a sad rude awakening for everyone to have to see.

                  I like Reed's metaphor, though it suffers from the fact that the bordering tribes are the Bills, Jets and Giants.

                    The Raiders have reportedly hired Jon Gruden for a 10-year, $100 million contract as head coach. Insane.

                      Makes Monday Night Football better. Taking a hit for the team.

                        No ownership stake?

                        That was rumoured to be a pre-requisite for getting Chucky on board

                          I wouldn't get to literal about the geography. The point of the legend, among other things, is that humanity always finds a way to fuck-up something great.

                            ESPN openly speculated that Nevada having no income tax may be swinging the deal.

                              Surprisingly pleased that the Eagles won.

                              But that game's not nearly as important as this evening's one.

                                Good Christ, Tom Brady is fucking annoying.

                                  Jags. Bloody hell.

                                    JAX are going to win the whole thing, because that's the kind of thing that'll happen as the world ends.

                                      Always love the sight of Sean Payton wobbling along the sideline, protesting a decision against the Saints. Maybe if you'd have given the defender a $50k bonus Sean, the outcome would've been better for you?

                                        Ha ha ha fuck off Sean. Maybe you should increase your bounty payments to your defensive linemen?

                                          He's become pretty cool.

                                          He's anti-gun in a state like Louisiana, has stood with Black Lives Matter in the state that gave us David Duke, dissed The Donald, and is an okay dude who inspired a dance craze.

                                          Office party dance craze as well.

                                          Hit da Sean Payton.

                                          Amazing ending. 1 in a 100,000 or 1 in a 1,000,000 chance of that happening.

                                          It's the closest I've been to being in a plane crash.

                                          Even more gutting than the 2011 Niners game.

                                            Bobby Herbert is about to come on with the "Point After" show. It should be quite entertaining.

                                              Yeah cool Sean cool. Let's hope some of those opponents he deliberately went to cripple can celebrate too yeah.

                                                He's the only one of hundreds of coaches who got caught - all because of a documentary filmed about Steve Gleason.

                                                But enjoy the loss.

                                                  That John Malkovich preview before Pats-Jags was outstanding, and hilarious, and hilariously outstanding.
