Mike you sure it isn’t Mike McCarty having the baby? He looks a bit chubby.
Tight-Ass Ted will likely give him a day off and thing of baby wipes when the baby is born and then tell him to get back to work.
Go Lions.

Welker is definitely a Patriot. He’s already bought into this idea that because they’ve won 3 in the last decade that they are just automatically going to waltz right in and take a 4th one. Oh wait, that’s what they were going to do last year…how’d that work out for ya, Wes?

Exactly PaulOttCarruth, how many World Championship has Welker won since joining the pats?…exactly as many as he won with Miami.
Wes needs to keeps his mouth shut, he is just mad b/c defense wins worlds championships not wide receivers. (as he saw in last years super bowl when the Wild card new york Giants won.) and we got the best defensive player on their squad. Really the Pats chose money over championships, because they chose to keep the money instead of paying their best defensive player.
So shut your mouth Wes, without Moss you’d be nothing!

Surprised to hear that from Welker–plus, that’s certainly a slap at the Iggles. I’m sure people might have thought the same thing about the Giants before last season. I’m not saying the Iggles are going to win it all, but there are really just a handful of teams I WOULD count out of Super Bowl contention. This league is too tough, too close, and too unpredictable from week to week. And you’d think those guys brainwashed to look week to week by Bill Belichick would know that.

Hey Wes, the only reason your team keeps winning is because of that joke division your in and the only reason you beat the Chargers was Rivers, Gates and LT getting hurt.

Exactly, Wes Welker you have 1 good season in your career and are a part of the team that may have choked the biggest in sports history. I personally used to like you before you got a mouth and how can you tell a guy who has won two superbowls he chose money over championships. You will never be the player Asante Samuel is and think next time you speak.

When Welker and Samuel’s careers are over, who do you think is going to have more Super Bowl rings?
Here’s a hint: not the guy in Eagles green.

Hadley:
But Samuel already has 2 rings. I’m doubting Welker is going to win 2. The Patsies might get one in the next 2 or 3 years, but statistically speaking, someone important is going to get hurt. Brady, or Moss or someone. Its not a guarantee, look at Brett Favre. But its really just one awkward sack or tackle away from being out for the year. If its Matt Cassell, how far do you think he’ll take you?

I think it’s pretty safe to say Welker will have at least two. And the fact that Samuel already has two is beside the point - Welker was obviously talking about the future when talking about Samuel’s decision to sign with the Eagles.
Also, Cassel won’t be the quarterback if Brady gets injured. I expect Cassel not to make the team this season and end up somewhere else.

My point is, whoever plays QB, or comes in at WR isn’t going to be Tom Brady or Randy Moss. Its going to almost definitely be a drop off in talent. ALMOST… we don’t know yet, but chances are it will be.
With that said, the Pats are almost a lock for the playoffs because of their division for the next year or two. But Buffalo is on the rise, and Miami can’t get any worse. The jets will either be good or they won’t. I think this year also, will show what, if any, the Pats video taping did for them. I am not going to get into an argument about it one way or another, the argument is long over. Fact is that they taped, and denied it helped them… which seems silly. Lets see how their first full season while not doing it fares.

The point is a matter of which team is more likely to win Super Bowls. I do not think it’s an unreasonable argument to say that the Patriots have better odds than the Eagles. It’s also not an unreasonable argument to say that the Eagles offer to Samuel was more than what the Patriots ever would have paid.
So, Welker is right, Samuel took the money over Super Bowl wins.

welkers probably right, but it was an a-hole thing to say
and be warned eagles fans: asante is not nearly as good as he thinks he is. he’ll gamble and get his interceptions, but he gives up far too many plays to be worth that kind of money.

The Eagles/Samuel experiment will last about two years. If he was really as great as his contract says, he would have held on to that interception in SB 42.

“The point is a matter of which team is more likely to win Super Bowls.”
Actually, I think the point is that Wes Welker should keep his mouth shut with a bunch of ringless fingers. I think I’ll wait to crown the Patriots as Super Bowl champions next year until they, ya know, actually win it. As I recall, people were pretty sure they had last year’s SB in the bag.
That, um, didn’t happen.

Um, where were you this past season? The Pats’ first season without video taping resulted in a 16-0 regular season record, and a 2-1 playoff record.

I sure would like for Asante Samuel to have a chance to stuff it up Wes Welker’s nose. They don’t play each other in the regular season, so I guess we have to hope for an Iggles/Patsies Super Bowl rematch.
But hear this, Patsy fans: I do remember that it was Jim Johnson’s Defensive Scheme against the Patriots down the stretch that set the Giants up for their Upset Victory.
The Eagles gave the whole league the blueprint to stop Brady and Moss. Let’s see how it works out this coming season…
