    I think Peter King is in love. Full Article http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/03/20/foxborough0326/index.html


    "If New England has spent wisely, the AFC's balance of power could shift. At the end of last season the Colts, Patriots and Chargers were 1A, 1B and 1C in the conference -- the Pats just as easily could have lost the divisional playoff game in San Diego or won the conference title showdown at Indy. The Chargers, aside from re-signing top guard Kris Dielman, have been all but inactive during free agency. The Super Bowl champion Colts lost two of their best defenders, cornerback Nick Harper (to Tennessee) and linebacker Cato June (to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), plus running back Dominic Rhodes (to the Oakland Raiders), and have added no one. True, Chargers stars LaDainian Tomlinson and Shawne Merriman haven't left, nor has Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. But given the razor-thin margins between the AFC's elite clubs, New England might have edged ahead.

    The Patriots were back in the business of managing expectations last weekend, having shifted their focus from free agency to the draft. "They don't hand out any trophies in the NFL for what you do in March or April," Pioli said. Speaking of which, guess which NFL team is the only one with two first-round choices on April 28.

    In New England, the rich don't just get richer. They get smarter."

    You're just not that wise, are you...

    You've been hearing shit for being a trolling pats fan since the day you join.. having to defend yourself on a nightly basis.. then you post a pats article.

    I believe it is an article discussing the top teams in afc. What does it matter? Some kind of law against posting a story from si.com. I must love the chargers and colts also.

    I believe I was poking fun at peter king also. Look where I said "I think Peter King is in love".

    If the article is about the whole AFC, why cut and paste only the part about the Pats?

    You guys are crybabies. I pulled the article off another site. If you notice I said "I think peter king is in love". Hence him gushing over the pats in the sample.

    He's not wrong but he's not right either. The Patriots have spent their offseason so far acquiring late prime players to stoke the engine for one last good try at a super bowl. They've added a bunch of roleplayers at receiver to flesh out a group that truely has no star.

    What they've forgotten as they did this was that adding late prime free agents and roleplayers has never won a super bowl anywhere. They've just pulled off a Yankees offseason and 11 or 12 wins and no championship is where that leads too.

    I hate trolls that try too hard to give their true allegiance away.

    You really should try and be creative. The fact that all of your posts involve defending the Pats, or putting them in a positive light, is making it way too obvious.

    Are they going to forget to use there 10 draft picks this year? Not sure how saving money on Graham and Dillon by making moves to fill holes is a bad offseason. Stallworth is on a year to year basis, and they still have 10 draft picks. I dont see how the moves they made would only make a strong draft a better finished product. I wonder if they will cut bug eyes?

    Imo Denver has made the most moves this offseason.

    I'm not being a crybaby. Trolls entertain me. I hate seeing them fail, it's great when you find a good one that can really lead you on for a while before finally dropping the hammer on everyone.

    I just want to see your trolling be successful. Just giving some friendly advice, you're making it way too obvious.

    Maybe you're not. Some very good posters here happen to be fans of opposing teams (Dirtywater, Learn To Swim, etc.) The fact that you're pretending you're not a Pats fan, when it's so painfully obvious you are, is quite vexxing.

    Once you admit you're a Pats fan, we can move on. Despite what you may think, fans of opposing teams are not treated poorly here. As I mentioned, there are a few of them here who are some of the more popular posters.

    Wow, so you aren't alone in your utter love for all things Patriots. Maybe now you and Peter can take long moonlit walks together and gush over everything the Pats do and how Brady looks in his jock strap. You must be as giddy as a school girl. :lol:

    Did it take you all night to think of that original and halarious post? You could have just typed "your a big weenie" and saved yourself the trouble. That post reeked with effort , lol. I suggest you see how many times you can hit yourself in the face with a hammer before you pass out.

    I sincerly don't understand why ur doing this. If you are a pats fan just say it. We have a problem with people who deny their allegiance. And urs is clearly a pats fan. Every post you have says how great the pats are and how unbeatable they are. admit ur a pats fan and it's fine as long as you don't start conflict. I don't even understand why u haven't said ur a pats fan and ended all these trolling remarks. If you want to be less "trollish" then do one of two things 1) admit that ur a pats fan or 2) stop posting things that clearly praise everything the pats do. oh and btw :pats_suck:
