When you talk to scouts, coaches, and executives from teams who have or will play the Patriots, the conversation inevitably will include something along the lines of:
“Well, at the end of the day, the Patriots have Tom Brady.”

I guess all the Globies have forgotten who created this team, established the work ethic and competitive nature of the team that has dominated pro football for the past 11 years. The man who created the Patriot Way, (ya know, show up for the coin toss ready to intimidate the Texans), drafted and acquired all the players, developed the most explosive offense in football, hired and mentored Josh McDaniels, won the 2001 Superbowl with an inexperienced Brady (Brady's words, not mine), and the 10th best team in football, won 11 games WITH NO BRADY in 2008, and has Nate Solder to show for an endessly hurt and increasingly unproductive Seymour, who cost the Raiders over $40 million dollars so they could stink some more. Not one word of praise from Bedard for Bill, not one. If any of you readers ever run into Tom, he will tell you who is the unquestioned MVP of the Team: Bill Bellichick. Jon Gruden spent 60 minutes extolling the singular greatness and brilliance of Belichick, but then Gruden is a forner player and Superbowl winning coach, with no agenda and not some Joe "I hate the Patriots" Sullivan messanger boy.
Nope, haven't forgotten at all about about the guys that have made the current Patriots into the first class NFL team in New England. What I have forgotten about are the lame flowery feature pieces about an NFL team, I don't really care what players wife sews the best quilts, and readily accept some first class in depth football analysis, and yes there probably is an agenda in there as with most of life.
Vince is the man! Unbelievable game. Brady's pretty good too!!
