the story is ridiculous on its face.

I have a relative and a friend who live in the greater Boston region.

ESPN is about 2 months behind the 'word on the street' up there.

Half the division is in the playoffs

If you take away the appearance by Miami in '16 and Buffalo this year. The last playoff appearance by another team besides the Patriots would be the 2010 NYJ. That's pretty pathetic.

Let's not act like Miami,NYJ & Buffalo has been given the Patriots heat during the Brady/Belichick era.

Bro Shut the frick up. Did you even read the article? It's hack arse journalism at best. This reporter said that Brady was starting to get upset about not getting patriots player if the week. What? He didn't name one source or have one direct quote in the story

Hasn't it been rumored for a couple of years that Kraft wants Brady to stay around as long as he wants, but Belichick would be willing to let him go when he feels his play has dropped off? I can buy that Brady and Kraft pushed to trade Jimmy G and that upset Belichick. Now I highly doubt that these are at each other's throats and there is any type of major riff growing between them.

Anyone replacing Brady could be considered a major riff. Especially since the Patriots were so open about not wanting to trade Jimmy G. Then boom...he's off to the 49ers.

lol you clowns are pathetic

just because you don't want something to be true, that doesn't mean the big bad media is making it up or is out to get your team

you're calling this writer a liar in not so many words without anything at all to support it. It's sad.

A journalist who outs his sources will not be a journalist for very long.

The riff was about Brady and Jimmy G.

BB wanted to move on and start Jimmy next season, Kraft was not having it. Power struggle, now ESPN, after stealing others work as usual, comes out with story, months late.

Never said that it was their fault. It's fairly clear that that the Pats are good at what they do. But it also helps to have three franchises that are always chasing their own tail in your division.

Is this where you turn this into a "I hate ESPN" conversation? Because you could simply start another thread if you wanted to do that.

Good business for Disney. It seems to me no matter what they do people are talking about them.

They traded him for a second rounder at that. Brady is old, and it's Belichick's job to plan for the future, which he clearly thought he had since he drafted Jimmy G a few years ago.
