All season that kid could not catch a cold and it hurt us in the big game. Leaving Hobbs out there all by himself with a Hernia suffered in the 1st qtr was not wise either.

Bottom line G-Men won and kudos to them.

The Pats will be right back there again in the fall. Moss will sign a 2-3 year deal. The Pats will trade out of the 7 spot and move down for someone's early second rounder and late first rounder to take some of the sting out of losing the 31st pick.

Spygate will amount to nothing. Everyone forgets the memo came out the beginning of this season not to have unauthorized cams on the field, every one that calls it cheating never played a down of football in thier life...the signs are changed every game just like in base ball. I would be near impossible to get the signal...break it down...understand it and relay it for that game. They were compiling tendencies and to be so stupid as to not ask for clarification of the rule falls under the feeling of that it is easier to apologize than ask for permission which in this case was the wrong move, just like not kicking the FG with 4/13 for a first down. One of the two major mistakes Belichick made this year.

As far as walking off the field. No one ran up to stop him...he may not have been aware and driven focused dude like that might have went zombie in his own thoughts. It happens. He is friends with Coughlin and I am sure he has shaken his hand and congratulated.

So when do pitchers and catchers report?
