This will not distract Mangini for a milisecond in his preparation, this is as lame as it gets..Pats F#*ked up and now attempt to spin it their way. Branch wasn't going back to the Pats, it was a matter of principal with him is my guess and the press release in the Globe from the Pats was they told Branch to seek a trade..well.I guess not to the Jets..Belly and Pioli screwed it up and now one of the best QB's in the NFL has 2 TE's to throw too and a bunch of 2nd teamers at wide out and looking to blame someone for losing Dion..It doesn't get any lamer then that..Pats fans see thru this BS and place the blame where it belongs...Belly and Pioli set the precedent last year when they renegoiated Seymour's deal with a year left, and tried to hard ball with Branch and got the proverbial Smack Down..hell I almost want Seattle to get back to the Super Bowl to give the Pats a 31st or 32nd pick, which is basicly a second rounder
The /end "insert words" means that I'm (or whoever is posting) is done talking about it. As you can see I went on to say that while I'm done with it, I'm sure this annoying topic will continue like crazy for the next few weeks (especially this week).
