I actually had to look him up. His current job seems to be to argue with Skip Bayless. I don't think much more need be said.

In the same segment, Skip Bayless said NE was going to win it all, and that TB12 was the "real MVP." I liked that assessment.

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : Unfortunately the Patriots under BB and Brady are held to a higher standard, by fans here and non fans alike. "Haven't won anything" means we have not won a playoff game in our last 3 atts. Now after Bradys horrific knee injury I think 2009 should be a legitimate pass. 2010 though we may have been the best team in the league and lost at home. I personally think this was due in large part to our 1 dimensional offense but another issue all together. Fraudulent is a strong word, but you wouldn't use it to portray the Bengals at 9-7(or whatever they are) you would use it to describe a team that goes 14-2 and loses at home in the playoffs.... I don't think that will happen this year and for the record I think Parker is an idiot as well but what he said is true, we have not won "anything" of importance in too long. We are good enough to win now, and I think we should! We have the best QB and the best coach.

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : That's a fair response. I understand where you're coming from but the whole 'fraudalent' title by this ignoramus is a tad excessive if you ask me.  The guy is a moron. How this idiot has a job with the top sports reporting company in the world is BEYOND me. I do think this will be the year the Pats come out and show that they can still win playoff games and get to the big dance. We have arguably the best offense in the league with the best coach so the cards are in the making.   I think Bill will show some schemes on offense that he's been hiding all year and this D will surprise some people in the playoffs. Well, actually, if people would actually look at worthy stats: red zone defense, points per game allowed, turnovers forced, etc then this D will surprise you.  Everybody wants to get hung up on 'Yards Allowed' and then deem them the worst ever. The last time I checked, yards don't equate to points on the scoreboard. I think they're doing a fine job but need to become a little more consistent, just like our offense.

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : OK, I'll bite..... So, you're actually saying that a team, ANY team, averaging 12 wins/season over 4 seasons, winning their division, is NOT considered a fraud if they don't win a SB?  What expectations would you have of this same team if it was, say, located in New York? PhilthyDelphia? Dallas? Chicago or Green Bay? New Orleans? As a Pats fan, would you say that any or those teams ae true SB contenders if all they do is win regular season games year in and year out, and do nothing in the playoffs? Sorry, I'm not buying. That team with a yearly one and done playoff is no better than the team that misses the playoffs on week 17. The difference if the 12 win avg team gets a higher draft slot. Not much to crow about on that one either.

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : Aaaaaaannnnd 0 Super Bowl titles.  NYG 1, Pittsburgh 1, NO 1, and GB 1.  Where has winning 77% gotten them??   Nothing.     Its time we put on our big boy pants, stop acting like we own the world and be a little humble and EARN it back.  Trash talking is fun and precious, but winning cures all. Super Bowl or Bust.  End of story.

If they had lost one game to the Jets than the Jets would be 9-7 and they would have beaten a team with a winning record. So I guess they'd be a better team if they lost to the Jets.

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : Interesting...... so you have no problem with the Patriots averaging 12-4 for 8 years and being on vacation the 4th week in January? No more expectations for more SB wins, as long as they win 12 reg season games? Is it a "Hey! They went 12-4, AND got a 1st round bye (before losing in the playoffs). I'm happy!" concept for you? This seems to be the mindset of second tier teams in all sports. Interesting........

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : My, My, you appear to be quite the Perfectionist.  I guess "It's different strokes for different folks".   From my perspective, I think Parker is just another loud mouth talking head on ESPN whose job is to provoke and tick people off.  He is quite good at his job. How much of his thought provoking blather is actually based on thoroughly studying the subject matter remains to be seen.   Most of the time he seems to be a blathering idiot and not just when he's talking about the Patriots. If the AZ in your name stands for Arizona, and as a so-called Pats Fan who appears to be such a perfectionist, may I suggest another name?  Perhaps AZCARDINAL might be more appropriate or just become an AZ Fan of whatever Team wins the Super Bowl.  This way your team will always be perfect and you will never become disappointed.   :)

In Response to Re: Rob Parker on ESPN's First Take : 1. He referenced Spygate which shows an agenda. 2. He ignored the fact NE has the most wins of any NFL team since 2007, when they lost in a SB. 3. He ignores the fact Brady missed of all of 2008.  4. He ignores the fact NE wasn't loading up for a SB run in 2009. 5. NE overachieved last year in lost to a divisional rival in the playoffs during a rebulding period into a lockout. Anyone with an IQ around 100 should be able to see that NE was at its weakest point from 2008-2010 for various reasons. This doesn't change the fact NE hasn't won or been to a SB during this time, but if any other AFC team like a Pitt or Indy were intelligently doing what NE was doing, being patient, rebuilding methodically on the fly, they too wouldn't have done much or MISSED the playoffs outright like Pitt did in 2009 (8-8). Or Indy this year. Hmm. Sure seems to me we have an agenda driven low IQ bozo at ESPN who leaves out facts, contexts and realities to push an agenda out of fear of having to possibly and forcibly say something pleasant about Bill Belichick and Tom Brady again. That's what it sure smells like to me. More of the same from an agenda driven, inaccurate media by design. And you're applauding inept journalism or analysis? If NE was loading up like the Jets, rolling the dice, he'd be correct. The irony is, he's a Jets fan and of course, as all Jets fans who are jealous of NE, he's INCORRECT. Anyone betting that BB/BRady lose a 3rd straight home playoff game is a moron of epic proportions. I am not saying it can't happen, just that I wouldn't bet on it. NEWSFLASH: Indy, SD and NY Jets have fallen.  Pitt is 22 million over the cap.  Baltimore has an aging Ray Lewis and Ed Reed hoping Sergio Kind;e's head is on straight and Mt Cody isn't a bust. NE has two 1st rd picks in 2012 and is coming off a reason to not lose in the playoffs at home for the 3rd straight year. Do the math, Einsteins.
