The story is complete BS. ESPN doesn't like the Pats. They talk sh!t about them any chance they get. They were one of the major forces pushing the BS "Deflategate" story. I don't put much credence in anything they say about the Pats.

[ponchjoe]

Jeremy,

You have to admit the whole trainer thing was weird. I saw a rumor today Belichek was leaving. I say if they win together again, that could happen, he or they might retire or go somewhere warm and coach.

The reality is that they are all getting old. They aren't going to keep going forever. Brady is going to start showing his age one of these days. Belichick has been coaching the Pats since 2000. So, yes, the "dream team" isn't going to last forever. The ESPN story is just sh!t stirring, though.

[72projectbird]

Happens every year. Pats kick ass, media creates stories to try and disrupt everything, Pats win Superbowl.

Everything is going according to plan.

[Simple Man]

Yeah, that's it, "fake news". Hate to admit that there are cracks in the foundation?

[77 TRASHCAN]

My "unfake" thoughts...
If Belichick quits, I think he's done. Don't know him, he seems like maybe he wouldn't give a crap about starting over somewhere, dealing with all the drama. I try to plan my life stuff ahead as much as possible. I woulda been unhappy about having to trade my next inline QB. He seemed like a darn good candidate! I've seen Bill with his girlfriend, I could hang with her!

Not sure how Mr. Kraft operates. Most folks with mega $$$, do as they darn well please. IF, IF I owned a pro football team, such as this, with it's successes, mainly because of ONE man, I'd be close to him, and do things as he wishes. There's been some hiccups, maybe this is just another(Jeremy...). I sure wouldn't play the power game with the man that has devoted his life to making me look like a genius...

There's a saying, "It ain't bragg'n, if you can back it up. That's where Tom Terrific stands at this exact moment. He could have a bad game in 2 weeks, who knows. One of these days he could get sacked, and NOT bounce back to his feet so quickly, feeling older than his advanced pro football age. Crap what if he does get knocked out of, say the last half of a game? Is Brian Hoyer going to rescue the team, and win the game........not real likely. Brian IS likely getting re-educated in the art of playing properly for a great team, he's been streaky, but the teams he's played for generally were not up to the task of playing worth a hoot, anyhow..

Yee Ha!

Are you saying that the Cheatriots are deflating?

When you stand that tall on that high of a pedestal, you need to expect that there will be some who will take shots. Brady & Belichek together & separately hold just about every record in football at the moment and continue to raise the bar on many of them - you have to expect there will be some who will take their best shots at them.

In the perfect world, they would stand there after accepting the Superbowl trophy and resign together.

[Simple Man]

People couldn't take shots, without ammunition. And stories like these provide plenty of it.

You know the MSM has totally come unhinged when everything has an anti-Trump spin attached.

[tigergto]

Not a Patriots fan but there's no denying we probably will never see another run like they've had. I tip my hat to them.

[bird72]

As a Steelers fan, I must admit the three way personality drama which just follows the personal trainer drama is just terrible, terrible, terrible, as Steelers folk really wanted all the Patriots to be having happy tea and crumpets while checking air pressure readings....

ya, but there will always be an * associated with them. I'm sure they could've done fine without videotaping play calling, deflating footballs, and whatever other shady activities they've done.

Seriously? What color is the sky in your world?

The Patriots don't even make the top 15 and, what's that? The Steelers are #4?!?!

[cdrookie]

Blue during clear days, different shades of grey on overcast days. Can you argue that they(Patriots) didn't have a guy video taping the other teams play calling? Belichick admitted to it and said he didn't think it was illegal. He took his punishment. Deflategate is only fictional to Pats fans.

Every team cheats, or stretches the rules, always have. The pressure to win these days is ridiculous, even trickling down to elementary grade sports.

Is Barry Bonds the home run king? Or is there an * by his name.
