Also what makes the Patriots receivers so dangerous is that any one of them can step up and have a 100+ yard game. While they may not do it often, they still offer the chance to do so(as shown by Deion Branch in last year's Super Bowl). 2002-2004 Seasons David Givens: 4 games David Patten: 4 games Deion Branch: 3 games Troy Brown: 3 games

The Tomb - F. Paul Wilson is a fabulous book with a great character(Repairman Jack). There are I believe 3-4 books that follow the character afterwards too.

Poor El Guapo, here's hoping he comes back unharmed.

Heck, if TO plays, all a Pats S/CB needs to do is give him a Brandon Stokely-like hit to send him off the field for the rest of the game.

MORE NEWS Pittsburgh Pirates signed MR Rick White to an MLC and invited to ST. Tampa Bay Devil Rays agreed to 1 year deals with SP Scott Kazmir, SP Doug Waechter, and P Chris Seddon. Seattle Mariners signed 2B Yuniesky Betancourt to a 4 year, $2.826 Million contract. Cleveland Indians signed OF Darnell McDonald to an MLC and invited to ST.

If the Pats had stopped them, all they would have to do was hit a quick slant over the middle to get 3-6 yards and suddenly it's 2nd and 7 at worse or 2nd and 4 from their own 5 or 8 yard line, allowing them to run Dillon once to pick up an additional 2-4 yards leading them to a short 3rd down. If the Pats then manage to convert that 3rd down(or get the 1st down), they can just kill 6-7 minutes off the clock while continuing their drive down the field.

Jacksonville Jaguars hired USC QB Coach Carl Smith as Offensive Coordinator.

Douggie did had OBP's of .387, .365, and .393 from 2001-2003. He is a solid hitter who can get on base if given the playing time.

I like the idea of trades carrying over to the next Mock Draft as it causes teams to then take next year's draft in consideration as well. Also I've been at TSM since Feb. 2nd of 2002...damn it's been a long time, however I mostly lurked that first year and didn't really start posting until 2003. Also used to post as DawnBTVS prior to this name.

Taylor Stubblefield is a sleeper WR IMO. Very solid college numbers(similar to Braylon Edwards and Mark Clayton in yards and had 18 TD. I'd call him a late 1st(at best) but more likely early 2nd to mid 2nd round pick. Chris Henry is another solid option but is known as a somewhat immature person.

I can understand a spirited debate with facts backing up your claims and acting as evidence but what good is "They'll win because you suck!"?

I get to be Nick Saban to your Bill Belichek...at least they were in the same tree right?

Damn you Frigid *shakes fist* I'll take the Miami Dolphins

Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a 1 year, $1.50 Million contract with 3B/OF Rob Mackowiak. Pittsburgh Pirates signed OF Ben Grieve to an MLC and invited to ST.

Patriots would never hire Moss, period. A)Not a team player and B)Would ruin the team chemistry they've built since 2001. That and guys like Troy Brown, Deion Branch, David Patten, and David Givens have all performed solidly.

Although funny enough, that's what many were saying about the Steelers(close game, defense will keep them close, etc.) and the Pats put up 41 on them.
