First of all congrats to the pats, great seasons! But when everyone on the freakin' planet says it's harder now then back when dallas did it, because of free agency and the cap, it's like wtf!!!! Now I know how Columbus or Aristotle must have felt when they tried to convince others that the world is round! Jeez even Aikman thinks its more impressive now the when he played. Must be true than....not a chance!!!!
The Dallas super bowl teams lost dt tony casillas, s thomas everett, g john gesek, g kevin gogan, dt jimmie jones pk eddie murray lb ken norton, wr alvin harper, de jim jeffcoat, c mark stepnoski, s james washington, all starters and continued on winning. Further loses cb larry brown lb dixon edwards, lb robert jones, s brock marion, dt russell maryland, ot ron stone, was a tad bit too much to overcome! eight pro bowlers gone! The 94 49er's, the team that prevented dallas from winning four in a row (thank god) used free agency to buy a defence to stop big D. They signed de/lb tim harris, lb rickey jackson, de charles mann, lb gary plummer, lb ken norton, s tim mcdonald, and cb deion sanders, all pro bowlers, plummer an alternate, to beat dallas! So there you have it, dallas if it weren't for free agency and the cap easily wins four in a row. Other than brady ne best players dillion and harrison came via free agency. If anything free agency has helped the pats! I just can't believe how everyone just follows along, and believes everything they hear in the media. Well I shouldn't complain too much for it helps in picking winners when the lines are way of.

Good post and I agree totally...

another thing the media does , for instance last night when VIllanove beat Boston College it was considered an upset..??? They do this constantly, a team is favored by 6-7 points and wins on their home floor, how is that an upset?

same thing is true in college football. mark may will have an "upset special"...he picks a home team which is ranker lower than its opponent but favored (or at a pick) over its opponent. makes him look like a genius for calling the upset.

complete nonsense.

wanna make money in the tournament this year...easy. just watch espn after the selections are made on sunday afternoon...then go against digger's picks. he'll be sure to have a few "upset specials" that will lose by 20 points. bank on it.

MSNBC headline mentioned Villanova's latest upset. Two wins in a row favored by 6 or more and they are on an upset streak. Sure, sounds good as a soundbite doesn't it?
