Seriously Rey, I don't that's an exaggeration at all.
The Patriots were the worst run oranization in SPORTS in the early '90. They were lucky to draw 30,000 fans to that dump they called a football stadium, and the management was the laughingstock of the NFL.
It seemed like every day, in the early '90's, there was another Pats to St. Louis or Pats to California rumor.
Three things turned the organization around and kept the team in New England:
1. They hired Bill Parcells as head coach, and more importlantly, oversee the football operations.
2. After endless debate, Parcells decided to draft Bledsoe over Mirer........THANK GAWD!!!
3. Robert Kraft purchased the team................and the rest is history.
i was waiting for you to post those 3 sentences. i'm with you 100%. I remember what Bill P. did for the Pats when he go there. taking them to their 1st SB since 86 was a great turnaround for this franchise. only good things have come since then for the pats. what a well run organization that is and has been since Bill P and Robert K took over. and of course having one of the better coaches in the game doesn't hurt either
You got it, my friend........Parcells, Bledsoe and Kraft saved professional football in New England!:up
I'm sorry, but Bob Kraft is the anti-Christ. Using Hartford as a pawn to get the new stadium in Foxboro was despicable.You got it, my friend........Parcells, Bledsoe and Kraft saved professional football in New England!:up
I have another another draft bust.
One of the most underrated NFL Draft busts- Aundray Bruce, the #1 pick in the 1988 Draft.
He doesn't have the notoriety of Leaf or Mandarich, but he was a classic case of "Why the hell was he drafted that high?".
He was a speedster who sacked the QB (think Pat Swilling), but probably went 10-15 positions too high.
If you're going to take a linebacker that high, he has to be really good- the only ones that got picked high and delivered were Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Mike Singletary, and Mean Joe Greene.
I'm sorry, but Bob Kraft is the anti-Christ. Using Hartford as a pawn to get the new stadium in Foxboro was despicable.
You can have Bledsoe.
hey he still might be better than what they got right now

Cosmo,
I don't blame you AT ALL for feeling that way, I've stated that here on a couple of occasions. If I lived in the Hartford area I'd feel the same way.
He used Hartford, and that was VERY shameful!

But, the Patriots debacle happened before we knew about any of the corruption stuff...The Pats were a horrible franchise that bounced back but I dont know how I feel about the whole Hartford thing. I was disappointed at first when they didnt come here but I think I heard that even if they landed in Hartford, the stadium wasnt going to be built or something.
How could you take anything former Gov. Rowland said seriously when this happened. USATODAY.com - Former Gov. Rowland gets a year in prison for graft
Recently, I would have to say Robert Gallery for the Raiders.....that year, they COULD HAVE HAD Larry Fitzgerald...but NNNNNOOOOOO.......!!!THIS is was one of the reasons that has somewhat cemented my hatred toward Big Ten football....damn do they overhype their offensive linemen sometimes...!!!
