Yea, right. My post is the biggest laugh of the day.

Now, also by trying to understand your reasoning, we're obviously taking it to the extreme, but the Patriots*, you say, were still one of the best teams in the NFL in the 2002 season (they didn't even make the playoffs) because they won the Super Bowl in both 2001 and 2003?!

If we take all of these years into account which you have done, over the course of 6 years the Patriots are one of the best teams in football, if not the best. If as you say my logic is flawed then let's just take 2006. They were in the AFC Championship game and lost. Only 4 out of 31 teams can say they were in a championship game that year. That wouldn't be considered one of the best? SO, if you take all 6 years as a whole, 3 super bowls. If you take just one year, 2006, AFC Championship. I defy you to show me anyone who wouldn't say that is one of the best.

My goodness dude. It's obvious you have an axe to grind with the Patriots* and it seems to be effecting your mental capcatity. I say that assuming before you started putting asterisks by NFL teams you weren't a babbling idiot.

Crude childish comments aside, yours was a nice try but you were the one lumping all the years together and when that's the case, I agree with you (as long as the asterisk is firmly in place). But I was taking each year individually to determine who are the best teams for that particular season.

That point, which you apparently missed, was to point out that the Patriots* were not the Super Bowl quality team that they had hoped to be in 2006 so they identified where they needed help and they went out and found that help. Last year's team was missing a cylinder. Welker and Moss were the solution and the Patriots* should get credit for finding a relatively obscure player in Welker and giving him the opportunity to show what he is capable of doing. That is not saying that Welker was not a good player, he is very good. But the Patriots* payed him what he was worth to them at that point in time. Welker, through hard work and determination, proved that he's worth that and a whole lot more.

Unfortunately for him, he's still part of a team that was caught cheating and to have supposed conservatives and people of such supposedly high moral standards on this site railing against the Democrats and the Clintons yet defending Belichick* and his team is pretty sad and quite ironic.
