Tasher Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 http://www.bostonsportsmedia.com/gameday/"Well, there's the need aspect. Corey Dillon's ill-advised extension (and that's not hindsight talking - if you'd like to understand why, take a look at the Seattle chapter in this year's Pro Football Prospectus 2006 and the essay on running back workloads) took about three months to metamorphosize from the spoils of a successful Super Bowl run into something galling and regrettable; the thirty dollar cheese you bring home for a dinner party, only to see two guests take nibbles, leaving a giant block sitting on your countertop. Corey Dillon and his contract comprise that block, the mess that should really be thrown out but because of its price, gets a slice taken out of it each time you pass by in an attempt to justify its lavish price. Corey Dillon, as a featured back, is done. Finished. "WOW!Looks like we got away with something in the trade! Quote

skyline Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah, the guy's washed up.Does anyone else think that this may be the year the Patriots finally fall out of contention? Am I insane? Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Does anyone else think that this may be the year the Patriots finally fall out of contention? Am I insane?No, you're not. Frankly, I think they fell out of contention last year, but managed to squeeze into the postseason thanks to the complete collapse of all 3 division rivals. And they may do that again this year: the Bills and Jets combined couldn't form one decent squad, leaving Miami as their only real challenge. Quote
