Patriots " possibly the best NFL team in history"

[DragonLensmanWV]

I hate to say this with Mikey lurking around, but I honestly believe my 58 NY Giants could have beat them.......and the same goes for the 58 BALTIMORE (Not to be confused with the Pansy's that play inside) Colts could have too. Although my Giants lost in overtime in the "greatest game ever played" they were still, man for man, the best team I ever saw on a football field. I LOVE the Patriots but the 58 Giants sit enshrined for me, at the top.

If you google it you will see some amazing pictures. Marchetti with a broken leg having the stretcher carriers put him down so he could watch the rest of the game.(broken leg) Seventeen participants of that game made the hall of fame. That's got to be some record.

It was the only football game I have been moved to tears over and still get goose bumps remembering.

Heh, do you think Marchetti was Joe Pa's role model?

[DragonLensmanWV]

Not counting the Pats the top 2 teams in the leauge are the Cowboys NFC and the Colts AFC. The Pats beat them both!


PATS WILL WIN THE SUPERBOWL!


THE END!

Big Daddy,
Since you must be the definitive authority, would you kindly enlighten us and define a "real" football game so we will know the criteria by which to judge future contests.:bbg:

Just in this afternoon.....

"Mangini Admits Jets Taped Patriots Last Season
NEW YORK (WBZ) ―
Its not quite 007 James Bond versus Goldfinger, but this weekend's Patriots Jets game could be a different type of spy vs. spy.

New York Newsday is reporting that the Jets were caught spying & videotaping the Patriots last season.

The newspaper, sighting " league sources familiar with the situation", says the Jets were caught using taping during a game in Foxborough last season. Here's the difference though: The Patriots apparently didn't report it to the NFL and instead just had the offending employee removed.

According to the article, after Gillette Stadium officials saw the Jets employee using the video recorder early in the game, he was told to stop and to leave the area. He had been filming from the mezzanine level between the scoreboard and a decorative lighthouse in an end zone. The camera was not confiscated by the Patriots or stadium security."

Hmm, you left out the part about the Jets asking for and receiving permission to tape from the end zone and that no cameras were aimed at the sideline to steal signals. And that the Jets didn't even bother asking for permission this time.

[big daddy]

Need I remind you, this all started with a question, asking an opinion on wether or not the Pats are the best team in history. Then it turned into an EAST COAST love affair, and no one had the guts to stick their neck out their and counter anything that was being said. I took it on and will counter anything you have to throw at me, because I asked for it. In an earlier post you asked that I come at you with some authority, I brought it with some strong numbers and then you get defensive and claim now that I am the definitive authority. Are we starting to second guess the strength of the mighty Pats? Let us not be silly, you know what I mean by "real game". I am talking about teams who have a winning record ( I do not include the 7-6 records as they are barely hanging on). The fact that they are going to field anything more than there practice squad against the Dolphins is a joke, and they play them twice. That is not a real game.

Lighten up a bit - this is all old-fashioned trash talk in a fun manner.

Don't worry, I was wearing a smile the whole time I wrote my messages. My feelings have not been hurt nor have I had the intention to hurt anyone else. This has been fun, there just wasn't anybody arguing and we can't talk trash if everyone agrees.

Cool.


In that vein....

ahem

Patriots suck.:D:D

Dolphins Rule!!

Just not this disastrous year.
Belichik can pile up the points now, but sooner or later the shoe will be on the other foot. We'll see how he responds then.

Subject: Let's go Pats! - Even with the New Special Rules

[Uncle Fester]

Too funny Optirep:p:cheers: Lots of time with the storm eh!

May I add--- Or the opposing team may start the game 34 to zip and regular rules apply:D

(Of course the refs will still throw the game our way as Tom the Messiah Brady will date their daughters once for every 15+ yard penalty flag thrown.)

Northeaster winds down at kickoff. Anyone know a prison work release plow/sweeper to work the fieldturf?;) I'm tempted on my card to take the dog (Jets) and the under 48 on my card! Don't worry I haven't won this year!!

GO PATRIOTS!!!

Did you hear of the religious experience of three NFL quarterbacks?






The football God asks Peyton Manning, "What do you believe?"

Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says
"I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends.
I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."

The football God can't help but see the essential goodness of Manning,
and offers him a seat to his left.

Then the football God turns to Tony Romo and asks, "What do you believe?"

Tony says: "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the
fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always
tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing field."

The football God is greatly moved by Tony's sincerity and eloquence, and offers
him a seat to his right.

Finally, the football God turns to Tom Brady, and says "And you, Tom, what do
you believe?

Tom replies: "I believe you're in my seat."

[optirep]

Nice Harry!


I wish I could take credit for the new rules but I am not the author!

[1968]

Tom replies: "I believe you're in my seat."

God has a Tom Brady complex.

[big daddy]

Tom Brady has died in a freak accident, and when he arrives
in heaven he is given a VIP tour by the angel waitng at the
gates. The angel shows Tom the great football field in the
sky, where no ball is dropped, no pass is intercepted, and no
ball is fumbled. This makes Tom smile.
The angel then shows Tom where the love ones who have
passed are waiting for him. Tom sees very many friends and
family. The reunion is very sweet and this makes Tom smile
as well.
The angel then takes Tom to the mansion where he will spend
the rest of eternity, and it is better than anything Tom
could have imagined, the hot tubs, the swimming pools,
the angelic super models. This makes Tom smile.
Just then Tom notices his neighbors house, and it is twice the
size of his, with more of everything and better as well. Tom
also notices Colts flags all over the yard, and a big #18 on
every window, and a projector showing Colts highlights on the
outside of the house. For the first time Tom is not happy.
The angel asked Tom what was wrong and he said everything
was great, perfect in fact. Tom said, I just don't
understand why, of all the people to live next to for all of
eternity, you put me next to Peyton Manning. The angel said
this is not the house of Peyton Manning, this is the house
where GOD lives!!

[hcjilson]

Dear Big Daddy,
Good story but you left us hanging. Even Paul Harvey gives you "the rest of the story'.

In your story, if Tom disappoints God by trouncing the Colts AGAIN, will he be sent down below??

[big daddy]

God is the maker of miracles, but this is one miracle that even God cannot help Pretty boy Tom with. His spot in heaven is safe.

By the way, there was a lot of excitement involved in the whole Tom Brady being a daddy, and that super hot supermodel being the mom.

[Edited out]

[hcjilson]

We may not be able to "run" up the score tomorrow because of a Nor'easter with wind and rain, snow and sleet. May make the going rough tomorrow.
Time will tell.

[chip anderson]

I take nothing away from the Patriots skill and succes but never forget.
On any given day any team can defeat any other team. Sometimes I think our own little South Panola High School (Undefeated for four or five seasons) could easily defeat any of the college teams in the state (they haven't done too well in a long time).
There are also injuries great and small a small thing like a quarterbacks thumb (unless the quarterback is Bret Farve who doesn't seem to pay attention to injury, only how po'd he is over receiveing it matters) can disable a winner.
Don't bet the farm on anyone.

Hmph - last time I heard that it was a Hillary joke.

Hey, they really are a lot alike with their delusions of grandeur.
