A: The T-Day teams get ripped off, but then they make it up on the other end where they get 10 days off. It doesn't seem fair, I know, but they rotate enough teams on T-Day so that everyone is inconvenienced at one time or another. The field situation is interesting. They do have the fake grass in their new bubble, but as I've said the past couple of mailbags, I think they see the chewed up slower turf as an advantage to slow down the faster teams. Brady certainly has his moments of frustration, but he never seems to get into a deep slump. I would think it would have happened by now, but it hasn't. He has a clock in his head and he gets rid of the ball. He can beat a blitz as well as any QB in the league and that's huge in today's game. I appreciate the comments.

In my opinion you are one of the worst writers I have ever read. We all know how stupid you sound when you write about how good Drew Bledsoe is and was or how bad the move to release Lawyer Milloy was ( and by the way how can any Patriots Fan like Milloy anymore after his comments about the organization, I lost all respect for that man after his comments ) or how much you are against Coach Belichick and Tom Brady. You have no clue when it comes to making Predictions or observations. I would suggest you open up the Boston Herald ( which is the best Newspaper in this city ) and read a Column by Michael Felger. Felger is a superb writer unlike yourself. And another thing I don't want one of your wise comments in return which you are famous for. I'm telling you maybe you should go back to writing about Baseball because you don't know much about Football. This city would be much better if we didn't have to read a Football Column by you every morning.

A: Happy Thanksgiving Tim. And God bless you.

Why is it that New England fans have to blast a player when he gets traded from the team? Drew made many sacrifices for this team when he was here by playing hurt and giving his all. Drew is struggling this year but his o-line is horrible, I have DirecTV and watch all his games and it's awful watching the defense bust through the line. Brady has a great line blocking for him but when they get through on a blitz I've seen Brady fumble and throw picks but the fans forget about that quickly. The bottom line is Brady has a much better line and has plenty of time to throw and Bledsoe has a lousy line and always pressured. I'm proud of Drew for giving his all in New England and wish New England fans would remember 1993 and prior and remember the 1-15 season and give Drew his props. It's nice reading your column and seeing that you respect Drew for what he's done for this franchise.
