Randy Moss on 'dirty' play

mike ok can we please get a TB update please ????????

Yes, it was a clearly a dirty play. You can see the safety, after he is down with Morris crawl up towards Brady's leg and just put his hands around Brady's leg, hugging it. This is horrible and I hope the injury is nothing serious.

Speak the truth Randy!!! This needs to be said loud and clear, and that thug for KC needs to go down hard. We all know that Herm has had it in for Belichick after Bill has been beating up on his mentor Tony for the last decade. The NFL should investigate this matter, as it has long been speculated that Herm would try to do something like this to Brady in order to help out his friend Dungy. I think lifetime bans could be in order for these two if the speculation is proven true

Moss is a frontrunner, a whiner, and the most classless player in the history of the NFL.

Randy go to hell you idiot. You selfish piece of whatever. You seriously need an attitude adjustment, why not just go back to Marshall or to Oakland. DIRTY, another homer who obviously is sad that coming to NE won't provide you with a Superbowl. I LOVE IT.

Mossman wouldn't lie !

Mossman wouldn't lie !

yankees4ever, how are the yankees doing this year? maybe you should stick your head further up your own hole.

Randy if you want to see a dirty play go look at the tape of last years Buffalo game when Vince Wilfork cleary went after J P Losmans knee

Dirty or not makes no difference. If Brady is out, this is a loss for the Pats whether it was dirty or not. And if Pollard gets fined or sits out does not matter either - Brady could still be out. Looked like a bad play from the replay but this is a contact sport and you have to take the bad with the good or vice versa

Randy if you want to see a dirty play watch the tape of last years Buffalo game when Vince Wilfork cleary went after J P Losmans knee

Sports fans from NY are braindead slobs, so I hope they keep posting their idiotic rants, I need a good laugh after watching Herm Edwards hideous face for 3 hours.

Did I mention sports fans from NY are slobs ?

I say, if it was dirty

Give Pollard a parade. If Brady is injured for the rest of the season, like I'm hoping he will be, he's done a great bit of service for the rest of the NFL. I hate Tom Brady, and to me a season ending injury would make my day. Of course, a career ending injury would probably satisfy me too.

Replay shows pats player pushing the guy into brady. Never dirty unless it happens to a pats player it seems. Get over it. If he didn't spend his off season playing GQ homo and doing interviews about his scarf collections, maybe he would have been up on his game a little more. No NFL player should ever have a scarf collection! What the hell is that all about!

Gary Hoyt, thank you! But pats players never think their players are dirty. Wilfork was fined for his hit on Losman last year, but the patriots have those loser blinds on and never see anything dirty, "Oh, that hit wasn't dirty, Oh, cheating is ok if we do it, Oh, choking to the Giants in the only game that matters is ok," hahahah

Every1 chill! Was Pollards' hit "dirty"? I don't know if he was trying to injure Brady or if he was just desperately trying to get to the QB to make a play? I don't know but I do know that, that's NOT a clean hit! Pollard deliberately put his hat onto the Bradys' knee and that my friends is as "Dirty" as it gets! The NFL has tried to discourage defensive players from making hits like this but, it obviously hasn't worked. The NFL will almost definitely fine Pollard for the hit. Don't worry thought Pats fans! Please don't ever, ever listen to a Yankmee fan dope about anything! Brady will be back!!

yankees4ever, how many players are on your team right now that came to the yankees thinking that they would win the world series? The answer is so many of them that you ended up with a full team of 50 year olds that couldn't make it through a little league season without half the team quitting because of arthritis. Even if Brady is seriously hurt, at least all of us over here in New England can take solace in the fact that in the final year of the "house that Babe built" New York just kind of stuck their tales between their legs and gave their pay checks a big hug as they realized they just weren't worth the money value that was on it. Oh and even without Brady there's STILL a really good chance we win the division.

If Brady played during preseason and toughed up under regular connect maybe this woun't happen. don't protect this QB , when he should be taking rep's from the starting O line

Cursedmate, your post made my day. Lmao, scarf collection. Brilliant.

It should be noted Randy Moss is an idiot, so his opinion on anything should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hey TROLL,
Lets count the rings shall we. You count to two and I will continue you whining moron. you like ever other bandwagon idiots can kiss my a.....s 26 times.

Randy first said he didn't see the play, then commented on it. Its all right, cuz we should expect anyone on offense to back up their QB to the media or whatever, at all times. If Randy never saw it he still did his job. As for me, I'm moving past it and worrying more about Brady's knee. that's what I want to know more about.

Oh,
So NOW its about winning just a division I see. Josh Brown give it a rest, every time eventually will have a year that they don't make the playoffs. You as a Sux fans can understand that. RIGHT ? Right ? I do hope your boys well, that he can maybe play in week 16. Did Belacheat tape that game too. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love it, the invisible 18-1 Patriots. GOOD LUCK YOU MORONS.

The play was as dirty as they get. Moss is right on. As for the semi-brain dead New York Yankees fan, he is just a sore loser because he lives in a city with two teams in each league, yet it can't muster anywhere the championship/citizen ratio of Boston: Celts, Red Sox, Pats and Bruins. I've lived 20 years in Manhattan and can't stop rooting for the Boston teams. Good news is that the reports say Brady walked down the stairs. He will be back.

tom bradys a pansie and needs to suck it up. he just wants attention after his superbowl loss (which he sucked in). Randy is overexagerating like an idiot. patriots suck. someone pay the guy who did that to bradys knee some extra money.

Good luck next week....I 'll be in section 137....Stop crying....First time off the injury list in 3 years and he blows out his knee...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Funny a team that was fined for cheating calling other people cheats.

Papelbon is next. We asked for this Ruth = Ramirez THE CURSE IS BACK!

hahahaha. now, with the fall of darth brady, order we will be restored to the galaxy.

get ready for a return to the scott zolak years, folks.

If you want to see dirty, take a look at the player mugging and grabbing the facemask of the K.C. player who eventually landed on Tom's knee. How did that player wind up on the ground in the first place? Watch the replay carefully. It was just a player hustling to the whistle who was dragged to the ground and wound up hitting Brady's knee. Hopefully he's okay, but I didn't see anything deliberate.

PS-They weren't running up the score either. Damn these eyes!

ohhhh...there it is!!! the how many rings do you have comment. how articulate. this is a what have you done lately sports world you a hole. 26 rings whoop de freakin' do. how long has it been you retard. now go shove those rings up your sphincter if ithey fit while your husband is inside you!!!

Randy Moss is one of the smartest players in the league today, i would listen to what he has to say....

also this man caught 20+ touchdowns last year...Awesome player, just AWESOME.

HAHAHA yankees4ever keep living in the past baby cause your team blowes now. What do you do at night just lay in bed and try to remeber the last time you won a world series. If you can even remeber that far.

In slow motion, things can look very different than in real time. Tom is my favorite current QB, and if he's lost for a few games or a season, not only the Pat's suffer, but the league as a whole. I hate the Manning boys, however, they do raise the level of play and interest in the league, beating either of these teams without their starting QB's is a hollow win, as both, like Tom are the heart and soul of their respective teams. Those of you who wish Brady ill, like a career ending injury, look within yourselves and ask, what kind of NFL fan you really are. Are your teams so weak you can only win if the top QB of last season isn't able to play? If you still wish him a career ending injury, ask yourselves what kind of human being are you. To wish ill on someone who can no longer work in a field they have spent a lifetime preparing for, may the same never happen to you or someone you care about.

Good riddance to stupid Patriots, their season is now over. Suckas!

What goes around comes around !

September 28, 2007

FOXBOROUGH - Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork is good at shedding blockers. Now he's trying to shed the notion that his hit last Sunday on Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman, a blow that resulted in a $12,500 fine yesterday from the NFL, was a dirty play.

the sox got more than 2 world series championships actually yankees4ever...

He wont even be fined. It was clean to everyone outside New England

LOL gotta love the jealous NYers. They know last year was an abberation and the Yankee dynasty is dead, buried and the drunken brawl at the memorial service was the closest thing to a "fighting" chance they had. Of COURSE they have nothing but schaudenfraude to cling to.. they are NY fans.

As for other teams fans, I'm sure the same was said about Young, Montana and Unitas in their days. Jealousy is what it is. The Pats are a dynasty in an era designed to prevent dynasties. Who wouldn't be jealous of that? Cut them a little slack, if they had the best QB in the league, we'd be envious as well.

ihatebrady .....i challenge you to register with your real name ......tony massarotti.....

Wow, can't believe the idiots who think it was somehow dirty. If anything, the dirty part of the play was Morris' "blocking" of Pollard on the play. Pollard's facemask was grabbed, and then he basically gave Morris a piggyback ride back to Brady. Pollard was trying to make a play, and unluckily for Brady, Pollard hit him when Brady's leg was straight.

The people who hope brady is out for the season are not real sports fans. They listen your hoping a man is in pain and can't do his job. If some crap like that happens to you nobody would care. Your worthless scumbags who are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If you died tomorrow you'd be lucky if 20 people cared to show up at your funeral. Nobody cares about you so go do us all a favor and GFY. And it was a dirty hit but I don't think he meant to do it. I don't think he was tying to injure Brady I think he was just trying to make a play. Hopefully Brady is back lighting it up against old man Brett.

Anyone who thinks that play was dirty is an enormous homer who knows nothing about football and is just making themselves look foolish. Sammy Morris was holding AND facemasking the guy on the ground, all the guy did was lunge at brady while being held and face-masked trying to make a play.

Get a life, Patriots fans- you cry and whine about everything.

Who is the guy talking about Herm being repsonsible and it being on purpose to get revenge on Belichick for his wins against Herms friend Dungy over the years? And talking about lifetime suspensions? Please tell me you were being sarcastic, because if not, you are one of the dumbest, most reactionary idiots I have ever seen post a comment on a message board.

It's got to feel good to be the hated team. You know you've arrived when fans of other teams are reading your newspaper and posting jabs at your team. And I empathize with you people. Your wife is overweight and you're almost positive that she's hooking up with your mailman's retarded brother. Look, I can understand why you're trying to drag the rest of the world down with you. But it's Week 1 folks -- even if he's out until the playoffs, there are 54 other talented players that will get the Pats into the post-season. Pats cruise to a 12-4 record and then win the Super Bowl with Tom Brady as the MVP. And when it happens and you throw throw up in your mouth (again), remember - your life is miserable regardless.

Damn straight it was clean, if your line was SO awesome they could have protected your boy a little better. Oh yeah, the line is a little overrated. GIANTS RULE they again are the SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS. Yep, you dirty sons of bitches got what was coming to you. The football Gods HATE cockiness. HATE IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Just leaving the dream and smiling all week long because now you are f........d New England. Dirty play please, only in Boston does stupidity still exist.

How about everyone shut the hell up, focus on the good and don't act like classless New York Fans- it is what is, and hopefully Tom is okay, I don't personally like ot see any QB get nailed but this could be quite the thing we don't need- As much as I like Randy Moss he too needs to stay quiet, we don't need our mouths doing the talking, we need our actions to do so-
No matter what becasuse we have been such a great team there's a huge target on our backs, if we weren't such a threat then folks wouldn't still be having remarks about the Pats, so all of NE don't play into this crap- bite your tongue and say nothing what goes around comes around, and believe me if people are still bad mouthing N.E and cheering that Tom Brady is seriously hurt they too will expereicne the Bad Kharma Train- don't take the bait fans-

i didn't hear the patriots saying that about wilfork's hit on losman last year...which was a dirty hit without a penalty called... I guess they see it diffently when it is GOD oops I mean Tom Brady.

Only a loser would want to see Tom Brady injured. If you want to see Brady lose, outplay the man straight-up.

dirty play? gimme a break. its an unfortunate part of playing football that these things happen...he was pushed to the ground, kept fighting and grabbed his leg. if brady falls backward, no problem. on another note, watch the replay of the final play. corner holds bowes arms down so he cant even reach the ball...yet no flag.
that's the dirty play of the game

Oh and for those who think the Pats season is over your stupid.
1) we just won a game w/o Brady and yeah you can say it was K.C. Your right but have you seen our sched? We have 9 more "K.C.s".
2) I havnt seen any news about Brady being out for any period of time so for all we know he could be back next week.

Patriots whine more.... news at 11.

Put an asterick on it folks, Belichek has cheated his whole career.

hey yankees4ever, we can actually count to seven, not two. Clearly you're brushing up on your baseball knowledge. If you're going to trash talk at least try to pretend you're smart. Bet you were a huge fan of the yankees in the early nineties when they struggled to win 80 games.

Oh and for those who think the Pats season is over your stupid.
1) we just won a game w/o Brady and yeah you can say it was K.C. Your right but have you seen our sched? We have 9 more "K.C.s".

yankees4ever:

This is a football forum, not a boring ball forum. Brag about your Giants pulling out a great win last year, in a game almost every intelligent FOOTBALL fan will say was one of if not the greatest Superbowl ever played. Even though my team lost, and I have to spend the next 4 months watching replay after replay of Eil pulling it out, I wouldn't have wanted to win the game with him sitting injured on the sideline while everyone would wonder "what if". That is what the rest of the league's team will have to question about any victory they have over the Pats this year if Tom doesn't play. Your not a sports fan, but a small man concerned more with your team doing what you yourself have never been, a winner in your own right.

Sadly, Brady's heart just isn't in the game anymore, kind of like that of Bledsoe a few years back. Missed all of the pre-season, questionable as to what he did during the off-season for staying in shape and now his real estate deals that he seems to be putting more effort into these days. Not so sure you're going to see the same TB that we've seen in the past.

The Cowboys took a look at Moss a few years ago, and even though they've had problems with some other players (off-field antics), they decided Moss was such a dirty player, they wanted no part of him. This was the year he left Minnesota.

Before idiots reply you should learn to spell those power words before you go on to the internet. Hey a....hole is this what you meant to spell------ sphincter ? Oh you STUPID Bostonians. Please Vana I would like to buy a clue for 200. LOL. Idiot.

I am a die hard NE fan, of course, we have rivalry with the Manning brothers, but as much as I like watching them lose, I wouldn’t want to see them or any player taken out from a legit hit or a dirty one. I hope Brady does well, I hope Cassel can step up and play ball.

To the mindless and jealous NE haters…”Ha Ha Pats only went 18-1..Ha Ha losers…”

Wait…18-1? WTF did your sorry team do again? GO PATS!!!

waahh waaahh waahhh let's not forget all the dirty tactics the patriots did during their championship run...Karma!

That hit just made the whole season alot more interesting, and as a fan that's what I care about.

KARMA!

Hit was fine. Good effort and never gave up. References to cheating and dirty play are for losers. In the end, the team that plays the best wins.

TO Yankees suck4ever,

The biggest chokers ever! Bloody Sock, Big Papi and the real J Damon slapped you silly! Not to mention your steroid lineups....so much to be proud of! All of the Nation is laughing at you and your loser team!

Clearly not dirty...just hard nosed football. Karma is a b!tch. First Belichick cheats for years and then lies about player injuries to the media. Wilfork has a reputation before even coming to NE as being a dirty player and Moss has never had any class. I do feel for Brady because he is a classy guy and always has been. Too bad as he is one of the NFL greats. Just too bad that he plays for a scumbag in Belichick. Cassell is a disaster. Why have the Pats never tried for a better backup QB? We're screwed. I never believed in Super Bowl hangover/curse until today.

As a defensive player I would go for the blindside "lights out" how do you do hit on Tom, but what does he get, a shot to the knee. That is the kind've hit I would rather see put on that dirty, growth hormone induced former Charger Rodney Harrison. Nice catch Tyree :) By the way, tell Belichick to leave the red jacket at home this season, he won't be needing it.

sincerely,
A Charger Fan

If Pollard isn't punished, then I hope Favre and Manning get hit in exactly the same way with the same results.

Seeing the replay and watching carefully: I anot help but say that he was aiming at Brady's knees. This was an illegal hit.

BTW, yankees4ever: You do not represent the NYY fans. Your foolishness belittles them and a once proud NYY team.

Some of you people are sick! How can you root for someone to get hurt, or hope their career is ended? It's just a game. These players are human too!

Honestly, anyone who knows anything about football should know there's nothing dirty about that play. Being a Patriots fan I think its unfortunate but honestly... thats clean.

I wouldn't want anyone seriously hurt. I don't think the hit was intentionally meant to hurt Brady. I think the guy was just hustling to the quarterback, like any player would, and the unfortunate happened. My biggest concerns would be how serious the injury is to Brady and how close the game was being that it was at home and against the Chiefs. Even with Brady out, I wouldn't think the Chiefs were the kind of opponent that could keep things close against the Pats.

Rusty, is something stuck on your keyboard. Again, another idiot in moms basement. Please use spellcheck, wow. He was aiming at his knees, OK Homerpatriot. Just because your boy is OUT its dirty get a life you spineless piece of crap. I am loving it and laughing out loud. This is an awesome day.

Personally, I think Tom Brady never got over the SuperBowl loss, and hasn't been the same since. Hasn't played at all in preseason (not like him to not play through an injury), and he would have come back into the game in any other year.

Last year was fantastic, Super Bowl win or not, 18 straight games in one season is a record breaker. New England needs to get over the fact that we lost, the Pats still had a great year last year.

I don't want to see anyone get hurt but what goes around comes around.
Not one New England fan conseded it was dirty when Wilfork reached out with his forarm to take out Losmans knee. As a matter of fact most NE fans thought it was pretty funny.
Now they know this kind of stuff isn't so funny when it happens to St. Tom.

Yankees4ever-

You scumbag. Now that your beloved yankees are out of the playoffs again you're taking out your frustration on Moss. FYI Moss says it like it is whether you like it or not. He may not say what everybody wants to hear but at least he is honest-! Now go back in your cave and come out in April -2009 as the Yankees will again not be in the playoffS

I believe it was a dirty play and if it was any other QB like any of the Mannings or Favre people would be all over this, but its because it was Brady its ok. Why the hatred for such a great guy and an unbelievable player. Jealousy, I guess. That can be the only answer. I hope and pray he is alright, not just because the Pats need him but I would hate to see a player like him out because of a dirty hit. Players know the risks but they shouldn't have to be out because of players like this idiot. I hope the NFL takes action but I won't hold my breath.

All this hatred on Brady, it's crazy. He's never done anything but be a class act on the field, and shatter records. He's the ultimate competitor. It's like people hating on Derek Jeter. I can't stand the Yankees, or their fans, but Jeter is probably one of the best all around baseball players and class acts ever to wear a professional sports uniform and Brady is right there with him. Honestly Brady haters... Get over it. The NFL teams you support just don't have the caliber quarterback that the New England Patriots do.

shut up you Boston cry babies. Boo Hoo!

I just pray Brady will be out for more then 8 to 10 weeks. Any updates? Back for playoffs?

Fact is, it was a dirty, intentional play. Time to take Peyton out for revenge.

rusty - You might want to check that replay again, because apparently you watched some other QB get hit. Pollard had a 230-lb. RB on top of him, and was clearly rising off the ground trying to make a leg tackle - something that is quite common in the NFL.

It was just bad luck for Brady that he had stepped forward and his front leg was straight and planted when it was hit.

Pats fans, are you really this blind? seriously?!? Take your boy off of Pollards back ( holding him btw ) and he would have never hit Brady's knee.

Also, how can you honestly look at yourself in the mirror after screaming to the high heavens of a dirty play? Harrison's low blow to Green's knee...Wilforks shot to Losmans knee...Wilforks attempted eye poking of Jacobs...and the list goes on.

What is the matter with all of you NFL fans wishing injuries on others? These guys play pop warner, Jr. High, High School and College without pay, overcome incredible odds to make it on an NFL team, overcome just as great odds to remain a starter, their careers are extremely short in comparison to other fields, they put their bodies and health on the line every game and practice, and you wish them ill.

You should never call yourself a football fan. Win, lose or draw, the league is about the modern day gladiator heading out to the coliseum for your entertainment. What do you want, mediocrity? Hollow victories? Or should we demand the the losers have their heads cut off at the end of match. Would that satisfy your blood lust?

It was a dirty play by Kansas City. NFL players are tired of the Patriots dominating the NFL. Other teams have no chance. The biggest evidence that it was a dirty play was that it happened in the 1st quarter. The Chiefs made the dirty play early so they would have a chance to win. But the Patriots were too good. I hope Brady heals quick and win more games to get back at the dirty players.
Check out this website:
www.sports--today.blogspot.com

Yahoo is reporting Brady is out for the year.

I've watched this over and over again. This is NOT a dirty play. The tackle is fair. it was not made after Brady released the ball, it was just a tackle made along the ground instead of from behind. Patriots fans need to relax, and go back to all the dirty plays made by THEIR team last season.

I like Randy Moss a lot. I'm glad he's here. But he didn't see the play. And he shouldn't have fumbled the ball - untouched. It didn't look dirty on the replays. Brady still had the ball and Pollard was trying to bring him down. It wasn't dirty.

Ha HA HAHAHAHAHA.

What happened, didn't know where the blitz was coming from??

Ironic, 2 games not video taped, a huge loss and a gimpy QB. hhahahahaha.

The Pats suck

Yankees will go at least 86 years before winning their next WS the rate they're going

All I have to say is that, although I'm a hardcore NE sportsfan, I'm happy that so many people are pissed off and screaming about the Pats. You know why? Because it shows that we actually have a team good enough to have this many people pissed off about it. Take for instance, this year's TB Rays. I hate them right now, not because I have anything against them, but because they're doing so good, they're actually posting a better record than the Sox (best baseball team ever, suck it Yankees). So if this many people are pissed off at the Pats, it just means we're so good, no one else can stand it. Go Pats!

Oh, and Brady's coming back for Superbowl win #4. Count it!

he got pushed into brady so all you pats fans suck thinking it was a dirty play it was bradys own player that pushed him and the fucking natino fuck the nation yankees rule baby forever all boston based teams suck a big one hope tom brady is out for good go yanks

To anyone who doesn't like the Pats...fine, we get it....we are much better than your team and you can't stand that we spank you on a daily basis. If you are from NY, get a god damned life and go play on amateur websites like the NY Post. But to anyone to wish harm upon someone who brings nothing but class, integrity, and excellence to the NFL, you people seriously need extensive psychiatric evaluation. It was an illegal hit, Pollard should and will be fined at the very least. BUT at the same time I don't think he intentionally tried to injure Brady. Football is just such a fast-paced, physical game that things like this are bound to happen. Hopefully, Tom will be back before long and the injury proves to be nothing serious. But like I said to you sick people....get a life and NY sucks.

Its becoming sad to see people glee in the injury of one of the best QB's ever. Call it a homer talking. You so called "football fans" will continue to spout your idiocy. I would never wish Peyton Manning hurt, loss for the season or his career. Nor would I Favre, Eli or Tony Romo. Not even Team Obliterator who at times can be the worst kind of team player.

As a football fan you should want the best on the field, no matter if they are from a rival team or a hated player. The comments about hoping Brady is done for his career is sickening

boston sucks how many worldtittles do the yankees have? yeah shut it sux fans

Hey Gary, Why don't you keep your assonine comments some where else. Clearly you are one of those ignorant New York fans that thinks they know everything about everything. Stay off Boston.com and go enjoy the Daily News. That rag was made for your type.....

You can't make a compelling argument that the hit was "illegal" or "dirty" when you geniuses can't even grasp basic spelling and grammar.

Enjoy that wonderful "perfect regular season" banner, the only banner that counts was raised at Giants Stadium on Thursday night. "Defending AFC Champions" never sounded so sweet.

yankees4ever - I knew all Yankee fans were Massengil morons, but you set the bar at a new level. If you're going to travel back in your way back machine and talk about the Yankees 26 championships, couldn't you at least include the 5 world championships that the Sox won prior to 2004? If not, then the count would be Sox 2, Yankees 0.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Look at the baby calling the hit dirty!
This from the team that everyone hates for their cheating ways.

The players and fans were brash and cocky all last year and it bit them in the arse!
I guess the KARMA gods aren't done giving your team and their cocky fans what they deserve.

No sympathy here....losers!

Two Words: Dante Culpepper. My man just retired this week, not by choice really. Word is Brady's ACL is torn, done for the season. Look for the Pats to ring DC in the coming days. Culpepper to Moss, book it, done!

I saw the play live and on my DVR more than 50 times. It was an accident. And apparently from what I have heard on Football Night in America, it is a season ending injury. Matt Cassel will have to step up...but he's not Tom Brady. If Brady is seriously hurt, the Pats will have to go and get another QB.

yea...go yanks...straight to the golf course you mindless tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charger fans talking smack? Didn't you just lose with all of your players in the game? To a guy coming off of Tommy John surgery and the best offensive player on the team suspended for 2 games? Oh, but wait, this is the year that you win it all (for the 3rd straight year) because you have the most talent in the league. Guess what, you still blow and are still overrated!

yanks07? What's a yanks07? What a ridiculous name. You guys were pathetic in 2007.

Why not yanks04? The choke that can not ever be repeated. Ever. The Sox can lose for the next 86 years and the Yankees can win the next 86 Series. But there will never be a bigger choke in all of sports as the Yankees in 2004. Never. Ever.

The Yankees no longer suck because we hate them. They suck because they really suck.

They just reported on NFLHD gameday highlights that Tom Brady has a torn ACL and is done for the season.

Gawd, it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy because all we talked about what it would be like if Brady is injured.

Hey sh1thead #13. You are a worthless zero to wish a career threating injury to Tom Brady. Crawl back to your hole and go away. The hit was not dirty, just a player going hard at the QB. Morris should have held his block better, IMO.

Hey Yankee Fans,

This is a football forum. Take your baseball team platitudes where they belong, to some boring baseball site. If you want to compare your Yankees to a football team, ask if those players would be willing to show up on a football field and line up with any NFL team and go mano e mano. Yeah, that's right, the weather has to be nice, no rain, snow, only sunny days and clear nights. No contact, and Baseball players start off nine against one guy with a stick, and should he be fortunate enough to get a hit past nine guys, they make him leave the stick behind. What a bunch of pussies the "boys" of summer are.

I am a huge Pats Fan and trust me I would defend my team... but in this situation I don't think it was a dirty play. If anything the defender rolled into Tom......

Anthony is 100% right. I figured a few trolls would come out to gloat about Brady's injury, but this is unbelievable. What a bunch of hateful losers. Your teams couldn't beat the Pats on the field with Brady, so this is a triumph for you?! Lowlife, scumbag no class jerks.

Go Sarah Palin!!!!!

I don't know if the hit was "dirty" or not, but it was clearly illegal. Wasn't Vince Wilfork fined heavily for a similar hit last year? You can't hit a QB below the knee, that's the rule. I don't think he meant to hurt Brady, which is what I would consider the deciding factor to whether the hit was dirty or not. But it was clearly illegal and he should be fined appropriately.

I know Boston-area fans love to play the role of victim, but I don't see how anyone can look at that play with an ounce of objectivity and call it dirty. Brady was still delivering the ball when contact was initiated. And it's not like Pollard dove at the leg. He had been forcefully knocked to the ground by a (very good) block. It is not the defender's job or responsibility to let up because trying for a tackle could hurt the opposing player.

People claiming that it's not a dirty hit should at least know what the rule is.

Defenders are not allowed to hit the knees or lower legs of QBs. Pollard was on the ground when he went for the tackle. There was no way he could have made a legal tackle on that play.

The fact that Wilfork was fined for his hit last year would seem to indicate that Pollard is due for a fine. We can debate intent until the cows come home, but the fact remains that Pollard hit Brady low and may have taken him out for the seasons.

From NFL rules changes made in August 2006:

" If possible, rushing defenders must make a conscious effort to avoid low hits on the quarterback. Previously, defenders were not compelled to make a conscious effort to avoid low hits if momentum was a factor. Penalty: Roughing the passer, loss of 15 yards.
Reason for the change: Player safety. "

Let me tell you what sucks.

1.Republicans
2.People who wish other people harm over sports. Like Tom Brady for example.
3.Giants Fans (Yeah, I found out this year that you guys are real pricks)
4.Yankee Fans
5.Scott Boras
6.Scott Peterson
7.Kobe Bryant
8.South Florida

Cheap and Dirty!!! The guy should be shot!

Was at the game, play was the 30 yards from where I sat, nothing DIRTY about it. That being said, how can someone hate Brady. The guy has never uttered a single comment about an opposing player, plays the game the way it is supposed to be played and is probably one of the top five QB's who EVER played the game. It's a sport, he plays within the rules and conducts himself with dignity, you HATERS are idiots.

Randy Moss is trying to cover the fact HE DROPPED THE BALL on the same play. He wasn't hit. He fell to the ground and let the ball go. Idiot!

He didn't see anything. Randy needs to just shut up and play.

Personally, I think Tom Brady never got over the SuperBowl loss, and hasn't been the same since. Hasn't played at all in preseason (not like him to not play through an injury), and he would have come back into the game in any other year.

Last year was fantastic, Super Bowl win or not, 18 straight games in one season is a record breaker. New England needs to get over the fact that we lost, the Pats still had a great year last year.

Tom Brady will have an MRI tomorrow to ascertain the extent of the injury to his knee/ligaments. Obviously the Pats are not commenting on Brady's injury. The Pats also announced they are bringing in Chris Sims (Phil Sims son, Tampa Bay QB from University of Texas and now a free agent) to give him a physical, and evaluate him. If the Pats are doing this now, Brady's injury might be serious.

Anyone gloating should be ashamed of themselves. You can't be a true NFL fan and wish a season or career ending injury on any player. A poor game, a poor season, bad coaching or execution, is something we all wish on our opponents. But to revel in the pain of another, of the loss of someone's livelihood, shows a lack of class, empathy, or human decency.

Think how tainted the Giant's win in last year's superbowl would have been if Brady didn't play. Or if Eli was injured and wasn't able to pull out that victory because he was injured. I have to relive that loss over and over this year, but don't wish Eli a season or career injury. Same with his over exposed brother whose face is in almost every other commercial during a game.

Grow up hate mongers.

All of you having a flame war on a message board need to get out of your mom's wood paneled basement and get a life.

Injuries happen, its a part of football. I'm not particularly pleased about this either, but Boston fans trying to one-up New York fans and Patriot haters vs Patriot fans, vice versa, etc...is a waste of your time. Nobody will ever agree with the other side. Its a fact of life.

On a more positive note, all the best to TB and hopefully no morons send any malicious mail to Pollard. It was an unfortunate, but clean, hit.

PS: To the Culpepper guy...I like your thinking.

The hit was not dirty. Puh-leaze. Unfortunate for sure and I wish Brady the best, but that hit wasn't dirty.

"I need a good laugh after watching Herm Edwards hideous face for 3 hours." Hilarious take chekker. My guess is Brady is out for the season, Chris Simms is on his way to New England to take a physical; so TB's return is looking dubious. I think Moss is just pissed because his boy is down and out.

The first thing I thought when I saw the hit today was that it was awfully similar to the Wilfork/Losman hit last year. Which means Pollard should get fined for it.

With that said, I don't think it was dirty, just like I don't think Wilfork's was dirty. It's an unfortunate part of the game.

Hey Yanks 07 --

Your question about the number of titles the Yankees have is stupid. How many titles do the Knicks have? Wait...don't want to talk about that, hmm? You can only talk about the Yankees because that's all you have. You can't even talk about the Giants because they play in New Jersey.

`Bills without Kelly: SUCK Denver without Elway: SUCK, Miami without Marino: SUCK. These are but a few examples of teams that aren't my teams, but who I enjoyed my team playing against because I knew I'd see a great game. You see, I'm a fan of the NFL first, a Pat's fan second. For even when my team sucked, when these teams showed up, it was still a great show to watch for the pure talent out on the field.

Don't care or either Manning, River's is too cocky for someone with as little accomplishment has he has, don't care for Romo (only because he plays for Dallas) but when any of their teams show up, I want them to start so we compete against the best. That is what a NFL fan is.

New England Cheaters fans....You reap what you sow!

Football fans don't hate the Cheaters because they are good. We hate them because they cheated and tricked everyone into thinking that they were a great team.

The injury to Tom Brady is what we feel they deserve because of their cocky attitude when others questioned their cheating ways.

They stuck it to other weaker teams to show off and they couldn't even finish....CHOKE!!!

They got what they deserve. Brady too because he also fell into the cocky talk and play and now he will pay for it. Expect to hear it all year from us!!! CHEATERS NEVER WIN

for all you
yankee fans here....I can understand you rooting against boston teams...but to root for a guys career to be over is ridiculous....your hate for this city is so wrong....especially since there are over thirty young kids who gave their lives up when they went to iraq....joining the military after the towers were knocked down in new york city....yankees fan forever....you must inhabit a sewer...joey

It's the same type of hit JP Losman got from the Pats last year. And then, everyone said it was clean. What goes around, comes around

I was at the game.....section 126.....Saw the whole play and I must say that a Brady injury with a side order of turnover was the worst f*cking play I've ever seen in my life. I don't know if it was dirty. I didn't see it close enough at all because my eyes were glued to Brady down at the 50. Wasn't watching the replay on the screen. He walked off the field and the Pats still survived. Granted, on a scale of 1-10 the chiefs are a 1.5 but I gotta tell ya Sammy Morris was flippin AWESOME! He looked much better than Maroney. We have plenty of weapons and Cassell has been in the system for years. If he gets into a rhythm I think he can get it done but it's also going to take some delicate play calling.

There is no telling what the status is but an F'ed up ACL is 6 games AT LEAST! Buckle up Pats. This could be a long season. But I got to stick by them.

Honestly I should start a poll. What's worse? Obama running America or Cassell running the Pats??!!

Christ on a crutch. Outside of two posts in this entire thread only two things are being said:

1. "The hit was dirty (it was illegal, but this is football), kill that guy." and 2. "I am from New York, I hate Tom Brady, I hate the Patriots, I hate Bill Belichick, and I have an IQ under 75".

Disgusting.

Pats could lose every game forever, and I wouldn't care. But no one in this physically punishing, sometimes crippling game should go down unnecessarily.
And as long as tha game allows and some coaches encourage hitting defenseless players below the knee, you'll have these "dirty-not-dirty" debates.
Make the hitting from mid-torso to thigh, and severely punish hits outside those areas - there'll still be enough appeal for neanderthals, and a lot more folks, from kids to the oldest pros, will have full use of this amazing instrument when they walk away.

Its amazing how you Pat fans cry dirty when something happens to one of your players. It wasnt a dirty play and without Brady its looks like the Pats will taste somemore defeat this year. If Brady has an ACL tear hes done for the year and Cassell cant lead a horse to water. Good luck and enjoy the long season!!! Lets see how many teams the Pats score 50 points on this year!!!

Everyone outside of NE knows that play wasn't dirty. Nevermind the fact the guy was pushed into Brady by his own line. Do defenders want to hurt QBs and beat the living crap out of them? Of course they do, the best ones at least. Do they want to hurt a guy? Rarely. The fact people like Randy were saying it was dirty before even seeing it tells you one thing: Randy and the majority of Boston fans are idiots. Sorry, had to be said.

I used to be a die hard Sox fan too, but with Pedro, Nomar, Manny and soon Ortiz along with most of that championship team that finally got it done gone I have no reason to root for them, I recognize the whining a lot more since then.

was desperation play by the defender who was on the ground...why I ask?....all u could do at that point was hit the qb low. pats will go 11-5 w/o TB.

give pollard a medal and send him to hawaii

maybe dice clay can fill in?

Doesn't matter. Football would have taken a back seat to the real action anyway. Thats right, the Battle in the Saddle. When Sarah Palin greases up her strap-on and gets in the ring with Joe "Harder Misteress Harder" Biden.

Give it a rest about being dirty you Patriot crybabies. First, you cry about not being able to cheat anymore then your quarterback goes down and boo hoo. If you want to see dirty hits just do a search on Wolfolk on you tube and you will find some. Just shut up, sitback and watch the Patriots finish 5-11. And I am reaching with the 5 wins.

KC fan ... not trolling, but I did expect to see the usual cries of "dirty play". Pollard had been dragged down, had a blocker with an arm reaching over is head and draped down his facemask, and was simply struggling to make a play on a quarterback who was about to throw downfield. It would have been pretty difficult for him to make a hit above the knee when he was practically prone.

There was nothing dirty about it. And insinuating that Edwards coached this is to somehow believe that they could gameplan for that perfect occurrence of "hey, if you are flat on your stomach with a blocker draped over you, and Brady is stepping straight at you to throw, try to rupture his ACL with a well-disguised lunge".

I do wish Tom Brady well, but Moss is being a wanker on this.

"Like I said, I didn't really see anything because I was running down the field, but it looked dirty to me. " -- Randy Moss
======================================
How typical. "I didn't see it, but it looked dirty".

Ya know, whether it was a dirty hit or not - anyone who is glad Brady is hurt is just a life long loser and a damn moron. "fans" like Ihatebrady and yankees4ever make real sports fans sick!!

It is really, truly sad to hear people that have never contributed to any winning team or organization in their lives spew such poison. Those of us that have a heart, soul , and mind should be thankful we are not such poor excuses for human beings...Brady is a class act, and people that "hate" him for being a talented, team oriented winner simply expose the simple-minded hatred that sours their lives and their souls. Life must suck living in Queens...

Hey lowlife Karma--hope you understand the meaning of your screen name, you filthy scum. Whatever team you root for is dragged into the muck by the likes of you. Go crawl under your rock, brush your tooth and go to sleep. Hateful idiotic scumbag.

Even though Pollard was on the ground, with a running back on top of him, he was hustling, still trying to make a play.

Of course, HUSTLE is not a word in Randy Moss' vocabulary.

Look at the bright side. Brady will have more time to spend with his son. D'oh!

Football is game of sudden impact. The play on TB is what it is. Do I think Pollard is a dirty player? No. Do I think it was intentional? No. IS it against the rules and should he be fined? Yes. Runles are rules and they state that hitting the quarterback low is illegal. It wasn't intentional but sometimes it happens. You must pay for your actions. When Pollard was trying to get to TB was he celebrating while getting off the ground after the hit or was he frustrated for not getting the sack. Watch the replay. Depends on how you look at it.
Pat's fans, remember that in 2001 there was an injury to our starter and some unknown 6th round pick came in and lead our team to a superbowl victory. Cassell is a 7th rounder. That would be sweet.

(On what Randy Moss thought of the hit that injured QB Tom Brady)
(On Randy Moss thought of the hit that injured QB Tom Brady)

"I didn't really see anything because I was running down the field."

So Randys view of the play is no better than ours.
Play it backwards and forwards. It was a clean play.
In football these things happen. Get over it.

What comes around goes around.

Just ask JP Losman of the Buffalo Bills about Wilfork's hit last September.

teddy.......if you watch the play on tv you can see the KC player actually lunge for Bradys leg. I dont call that a clean play. They make rules for a reason and the rule to not hit a qb below his legs needs to be enforced.

That wasn't dirty, it was football. For a classless, POS like Moss to claim "I don't even know how to play dirty" is preposterous. Does he think we were hibernating during the past 10 years.
Stop being a damn girl, take off your panties, play ball and shut your mouth.

And all you pats fans, suck it up. You're lucky that Brady has lasted this long. Quit whining. You sound so ridiculous already with that boston accent, its sooo much worse when you do your high-pitched whine.

All you spoiled New England fans need to get a serious grip. Everything can't go your way every day in every sport. Just because your "Golden Boy" got hurt doesn't mean it was dirty. The guy was blocked to the ground, Brady stepped up in the pocket right to him, what was the guy supposed to do ? Avoid him or try to tackle him ? I never wish for injury on anybody(except maybe Kobe Bryant), but Brady and the Patriots have lived such a charmed life for so long, Karma had to catch up with them sooner or later. I admit they are a good football team and really run their organization right(business wise), but they have been the absolute luckiest team ever for the last eight years, and maybe luck is finally going the other way, starting from the Super Bowl. Hopefully this is where the ball keeps bouncing away from them instead of straight into their hands every time. Jeez, they stiill lucked out and won today, maybe it is futile.

Moss is a little crybaby . Harrison & Wilfork are the dirtiest players in the league and have the fines to prove it. Pollard's hit was clean. Maybe Marsha Brady is too fragile. Either way Cheatriots what goes around comes around

Not as dirty as when you hit that cop with your car in MN. Let's see what a good citizen Moss will be this year with no one to throw him the ball.

18-1.........BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWW

Cheaters never prosper!

I heard it reported that this was a planned conspiracy that Herm was involved in. Apparently Bill wants to get rid of Tom Terrific like he did Bledsoe. He and Herm planned this dirty hit. Cassel will prove himself and when Tom comes back, he'll sit the bench and be traded prior to next season.

Obviously I don't play professional sports, but I have played sports throughout my life and in college. Reading some of these entries makes me sick to see that some people wish harm to others. I am staring to think that these people who are “jumping for joy” and “celebrating” that TB is hurt and possibly done for the season clearly never played sports in the their lives because if they had, they would have some sort of respect for themselves and others, not to mention some understanding of what an athlete goes through when something like this happens. I have had a season ending injury back in college (torn ACL) and let me tell you, it’s a bitch to rehab. Its tough mentally and physically. I would never wish injury (or harm) on my worst enemy. Clearly, these “haters” would have nothing to say if their teams QB went down. These people need to grow up and stop living their “glory days” thought professional sports because at the end of every day (whether you love or hate the Pats) we are all humans.

Well, if you "heard" it, then it must be true, huh? Get over yourselves. It's football. Bad things happen.

Dirty hit? Pollard had a defenders hand inside his facemask, just because he has the same defender on his back means he has to quit? Come on, you fools are in a fantasy world if it's an illeagel hit!

I love it! Pats fans are so upset about Brady that they are trying to rationalize their pain by talking smack about the yankees... now that's real mature. We are talking about football aren't we?!?!

It was not a dirty play. Anyone with an OBJECTIVE view of the replays clearly sees that the defender came in contact with Brady while the ball was still in his hand AND that the defenders forward motion was partially facilitated by the blocking (or lack there of) from the O-line.

Let's face it, Brady is great but one man does not win super bowls... IE NEW YORK GIANTS 17 - PATS 14.

Sounds to me like the loss to big blue still stings a bit. It's been an offseason of excuses and this is simply a trickle down effect.

It was a clean hit, and everyone is upset because it's the "golden boy" who got hurt. Karma is all I have to say. You want to talk about being dirty, spy gate!!!

for the person who says it has long been speculated that herm would try to do this to brady to help out dungy.

Are you an idiot?? Who has speculated for a long time, you??

you guys dont seem to recall when palmer went out against the steelers years ago in the playoffs.

was that a dirty play? no it was just a play, get over it.

so what you lost your pretty boy QB and now your not going to wine 6 games.
Looks like the Jets are gonna take your division and pound you othis weekend.

bad things happen when you cheat, first you LOSE the super bowl, now this, guess what, they come in 3's
lol

Talk about dirty! Pollard is clearly being illegally blocked by Morris in at least 3 different ways. I saw a facemask, holding and blocking in the back all in the span of time Pollard was trying to get to Brady. With Morris lying down on his back and putting his hands in his face, how was Pollard supposed to see Brady's knee to aim at it. I say it is karma. The Patriots don't have the cleanest record in football. When it comes to illegal activities they are the best. Have we forgtten the Pats vs. Jets game last season.

Man They Have Hurt The Best Player man This Is so fucked up man

So far it's been Randy (I lay down on my team in Oakland) Moss and the fareweather Pats fans saying it was a dirty hit. I have listened to more than a dozen sports media types and retired and current players and they all agree it was simply a bad deal. Nothing dirty, nothing malicious, just football. The Chiefs lost a QB also. What happened to the "cradle rule"? I thought you were supposed to bring the QB down easy, (cradling the QB). Croyle was driven into the ground and I haven't heard anyone say anything about that. Not one single person with any credibilility has even suggested that it might have been a dirty hit on Brady. This just goes to show how much a fareweather fan knows about this great game of football. Don't worry Pats fans, your team will be back to it's losing ways and you can all go back to spending your Sundays playing golf and shopping. I hate to see any player get injured and Tom Brady will be in our prayers. Hopefully he will be back soon. As for the so called life long fans of the Patriots, your argument is weak like your loyalty to your team.

You Patriots Fans make me sick OMG TOMMY got hurt you sound like a bunch of kids that had their dog put down. THIS IS FOOTBALL things happen thats why they call it a contact sport. Tom Brady's injury was inevitable every star player whether he's a quarterback or a lineman gets hurt at least once. IT WASN'T A DIRTY PLAY it was just an accident you can't get mad because Pollard did his job and tried to make a tackle i could understand if the ball was already thrown but it wasn't. Your all just blowing this situation way out of proportion.

Okay i play football. That was not dirty by any means. The sport is violent. Get over it. Things happen to the best of us. His job was to get to the quarterback, Period, end of story. Tom took that chance when he signed that contract.

This whole cheater thing is ridiculous. If I remember correctly, the Patriots won 17 straight games after being "caught". I guess they "cheat" when everyone is watching. See if Mangini gets another coaching job after the Jets. Everyone was doing the same thing, Mangini just didn't like Belicheck. So, everyone from New York, enjoy whatever you can, you are not going anywhere in baseball, football, hockey or basketball.

Chiefs and Purdue fan here, living in Indy the last 18 years. Yes, I do root for the Colts versus the Pats...it's good for my business to see he Colts win. I will say however, that Indy fans do NOT hate Brady other than having a tremendous amount of respect for the guy. The same cannot be said for the Weasel Belichek, but that's more for his crumudgeon grumpiness in interviews that makes him come off smug.

Anyway, Bernard Pollard at Purdue had the reputation of being one of the highest effort and intensity guys to ever play for Tiller. A few times, he did have some attitude problems, but mainly because he wouldn't put up with less than 100% effort from teammates and wouldn't leave it to the coaches to take care of it. Got tossed from a practice or two because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. HOWEVER, it was never because he didn't want to win. Additionally, he was never labled as a 'dirty' player, and I watched every single one of his games at Purdue and his 2 years with the Chiefs.

All reports I've heard say that he's grown up A TON in the NFL and matured into a great teammate who plays the game the way it is supposed to be played, which is what he was doing on that play.

If you watch it again, the only fault would lie with the Pats' RB for not doing a better job laying on top of Pollard to ensure he couldn't move. Pollard tried to get up to get to Brady and, just as he was trying to lunge for his mid thighs, the RB came on top of him again, lowering his angle, but his forward momentum took him into Brady's knee.

It was most definitely NOT dirty, in spite of what RMoss says, who, btw, has never hit anyone in his life, a la Deion Sanders. The only thing the guy will ever do is tie a guy up and get in his way. For him, with absolutely ZERO experience hitting another football player, to make that call is ridiculous.

RANDY MOSS IS TOO STUPID TO LIE... HE IS JUST GIVIING HIS HONEST OPINION... I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK IT WAS DIRTY, BUT RANDY MOSS
IS BIT SLOWER, HE IS A POT-SMOKING, TRAFFIC-COP BEATING, GIFTED ATHLETE WHO JUST LOST HIS RECORD-SETTING QB FOR THE YEAR... HE IS MISSING THE GUY WHO SET RECORDS WITH HIM LAST YEAR AND HE IS MAD, SO OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO THINK THE PLAY WAS DIRTY, HE WANTED A SUPERBOWL THIS YEAR- U CANT BLAME HIM FOR THAT- HIS WINDOW IS GETTING SMALLER- BUT THEY WILL HAVE THEIR CHANCE IN 18 MONTHS WHEN BRADY IS BACK FOR VENGEANCE, AND HIS O-LINE STOPS DOING OXYCONTIN AND START MAKING BETTER BLOCKS UP FRONT (WHY THEY LOST SUPERBOWL, A PERFECT SEASON AND BRADY'S acl) SO U CANT BLAME RANDY FOR SAYING THAT- HE JUST WANTS A RING- WANTS TO BE LIKE RAY LEWIS THE BEST ATHLETE OF THEM ALL- AND TAKIING THE RAVENS ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR, THE AFC IS WIDE OPEN!!!!!

Clearly it was an accident. Just like running over a meter maid in your car....

Patriots fans are the biggest whiners... they get one injury that was a legitimate hit and just say the stupidest stuff on post boards. To go along with that anyone who feels that this was some kind of planned out hit from herm or anyone in the NFL on him should just give up watching sports, you are way too paranoid and should be worrying about someone conspiring about them. Your all a bunch of bandwagon jumpers anyway, there was no Patriots fanbase before you even got a winning record. Also, Isn't it funny how a bunch of fans of cheaters you seem to cry about cheatting very quickly? See you next year TOM HA HA

lol what idiotic patriot fans.
stop calling pollard dirty.
whats he supposed to do.
just lay there on the floor and not try to sack brady?
hes not getting paid millions to kiss the turf

Pollard was just doing his job. Trying to sack the quarterback is something he is supposed to do. He went for the tackle when a pats player pushed him into the ground from behind and his helmet made contact with brady's knee. Pats fans need to stop concocting ridiculous stories about what happened. we've all seen it. pollard didn't do anything wrong

anyone who agrees with this moron knows nothing about this sport or is in so much denial that they cant think for themselves. clean play 100% and from my perspective that team had it coming with the way they ran up scores last season. Bills win the division, Pats crumble to third.

1st, Randy, You played for the Raiders, so you know how to play dirty. 2nd If that was a dirty play, then when you got hit at the end of the play, that was dirty too. Same with almost every other tackle in that game. It was a clean play, but I hope Brady is fine and I wish him luck in the recovery process.

Randy of course you didn't see the play. You were too busy fubling the ball trying to slide with nobody touching you. LOL

Randy Moss wha wha wha ... football is football and now you'll have to get use to Casels throwing the ball to you.
Grow up and play the game

Whoever thinks this play is DIRTY, better start watching tennis!!!!! It's football... What was Pollard supposed to do???? Stop trying to get at Brady after he was completely held by the Pats fullback. STOP whining Pats fans! The play wasn't dirty and your season is over!!!!

GO STEELERS AND F BRADY HE HAS A SCARF COLLECTION HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

the play was clean sorry for brady great qb s@#!% happens and the patriots season really doesnt look bright for them brady is a leader they lost there leader cheating doesnt help either anyway lets go niners peace

Football is a contact sport or at least it used to be. Maybe the NfL should change their name to National Flag League. I am just wondering what Brady said about the hit.

ok im a pats fan but i dont care whether or not the play was dirty...what doesn't make sense is why idiots on here are praising the dude for injuring brady...? i hate the yankees but i would never cheer if arod got injured badly. why? because im a halfway decent person. grow up losers.

all u patriots fans just need to shut up and stop ur whining...the hit wasnt dirty and tom brady isnt going to be back for the season and now i want to see them still win just to prove ur precious little quarterback isnt "the best quarterback ever" it is the team around him that is so good he is just VERY over rated

All of you who say that play was dirty either do not know football or have never played it at least. He was just trying to make a play. I understand that no one ever wants to see a player get hurt however its part of the game and just because its your favorite player on your team does not mean its a dirty play.

ALL OF YOU QUIT YOUR WHINING AND BICKERING. SOUNDS LIKE A SECOND GRADE CLASSROOM IN HERE.

IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THE MAJOITY OF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN SANDLOT OR YOU WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. POLLARD WAS MAKING A PLAY WITH SOMEONE TRYING TO KEEP HIM ON THE GROUND, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

IT IS TOO BAD THAT A SEVERE INJURY RESULTED FROM IT. HEY! ITS FOOTBALL INJURIES HAPPEN. IF POLLARD WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABATED TO THE QUARTERBACK AND HIT IT LIKE THAT HE SHOULD BE OUT OF THE GAME FOREVER!! THIS HOWEVER, IS NOT THE CASE. BE honest AND QUIT WHINING.

AS FOR RANDY MOSS, ALTHO HE HAS QUITE A BIT OF TALENT HE DOESN'T HAVE NEAR ENOUGH TO FILL THAT BIG STUPID MOUTH OF HIS.

I'll put it like this; Moss wouldn't be saying anything if cassel would have been the QB out for the season. He is reflecting on a selfish career that is coming to an end without a super bowl ring! NO CLASS. Go smoke some pot and hit some more cops with your SUV and play half speed. No matter how much you whine tom is out for the season and pollard is good guy that had only competitive intentions to sack the QB. DIRTY? Play the game and shut your mouth.

hey um you up there the whole 17 in a row thing... didnt they get beat by the new york football giants in the super bowl? yeah the yanks suck this year but your kidding yourself if you dont think next year the yankees will go out and buy the best players on the market and everyone in boston will complain the yankees buy everyone and blah blah blah but you do it too ... the other baseball team in new york the mets are doing pretty good though... the knicks always suck.. rangers were decent but the isalnders sucked... dont look now but the bills and the jets might finish 1/2 in the afc east :o and the new york football giants are the defending champs..looks like new york is doing just fine in sports espically football

hey um you up there the whole 17 in a row thing... didnt they get beat by the new york football giants in the super bowl? yeah the yanks suck this year but your kidding yourself if you dont think next year the yankees will go out and buy the best players on the market and everyone in boston will complain the yankees buy everyone and blah blah blah but you do it too ... the other baseball team in new york the mets are doing pretty good though... the knicks always suck.. rangers were decent but the isalnders sucked... dont look now but the bills and the jets might finish 1/2 in the afc east :o and the new york football giants are the defending champs..looks like new york is doing just fine in sports espically football

Yea,What I don't know is where the flag was.....I mean,it was very clear that Patriots RB got the chief in a headlock and slung him to the ground and was still trying his best to hold him when he finally got to Brady low,which was clean as could be,since he was being held down after being drug down...but penalty would have been declined by Chiefs anyway,since Moss saw he was about to get hit,so he laid down to avoid contact,and couldn't even hold ball...Chiefs ball...1st Down.

Ya'll are all idiots.If Tom Brady did not get hurt Pats aint gonna do nuthin.Git over it you bunch of whiney ass yankees.Team from the south or Colts win Super Bowl.

THE PLAY WAS IN NO WAY DIRTY IF BRADY DOESN'T EVER WANT TO GET HURT HE SHOULD STOP PLAYING FOOTBALL(A CONTACT SPORT BY THE WAY) GET OVER IT PATS FANS YOUR STILL UPSET ABOUT YOUR 18-1 SEASON IT WAS A GOOD RUN GET OVER IT

HAHAHAHAHA Brady is hurt. All you dumb Boston fans go hide under a rock...hahahahahahah

Who CARES what MOSS has to say... all he does is start trouble between slapping female friends and getting restraining orders put on him an hitting meter maids with his car ... Who is he to say the WORD dirty....

i think it was a dirty play.i dont care what anybody thinks it was dirty. we still gon do good without him and when he comes back next year we going to the super bowl........and for all yall haters that hate tom brady SHUT UP.........yall jus mad cus yall team dont have a QB like tom brady

Goodness, this has been blown up a lot. There are many sides to the story depending on who you are. People say all the time "Patriots suck!" and "Tom Brady sucks!" but what have we ever done to make you hate us except for Spygate? Then we came back and beat most of the teams out of talent and good coaching and a team that actually works together and puts in the extra effort.

Tom tore his ACL. That's season ending if not career ending. I just hope it isn't career ending :/

The Yankees really do suck! I love Ny. they can spend all the money in the world and still not beat the sox.The Pats will go on winning streak without him you bunch of losers. It was a cheap shot and you all know it. Moss is a class act! Ha!

How anyone can look at the replay and say that was dirty is beyond me.

hey if i was randy i would be mad too, my only shot at another superbowl (loss) just got injured

I am a saints fan, i live in new orleans and heard about bradys injurie at the game. ITS A PART OF FOOTBALL. you patriots fans are pissed because that was yalls only way of winning. i mean come on, yall are selfish. injuries happen and it wasnt a dirty play. and hey, if it was a dirty play (yall cheated)

WHO DAT
1-0

I just lost the little respect I had for Moss as a human being. This putz will do anything to put the blame on someone else for his misfortunes. To be honest with you, if Tom Brady played for some other team....Dandy- Randy wouldn't care that Tom would be out for the rest of the season. No, this has nothing to do with Tom being hurt and out for the season, it has everything to do with Panzy- Randy not getting to another superbowl this year. Randy..... do you need some tissue ? Poor little baby !

Dirty? Randy Moss says it was a "dirty" play?
Let's ask the traffic agent in Minnesota that Randy pushed a half-block with his car if she thought what Randy did was "dirty".

Sorry Pat's fans ..the hit was legal. Brady was a victim of bad luck.

You CHEATERS get what you deserve!! Go Dolphins!!

The Patriots won 17 straight because they bought 2 great wide receviers. Now, Moss got greedy in the off-season so they had to let Stallworth go because they couldn't afford him after paying Moss for his new contract. That screwed them from the beginning. Now lets see Wes Welker step up LMAO, he sucks. He only got open because people were covering the only 2 receivers that mattered. Even with Brady, they did not have a chance win the AFC. The Chargers would have taken it. Needless to say, the hit was NOT dirty. Either way, the Cowboys are your next SuperBowl CHAMPIONS! HOW 'BOUT 'DEM COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, I can't believe there's this many fans of the Pat's or Brady (for that matter) out there. Out here in the West, I don't even know of one team or person that is disliked more than the Patriots. The Patty's are even more disliked than George Dubya......Sorry, that was pretty mean, but unfortunately true. ( I wanted to use the word Hate than disliked. But from the looks of it, you guy's are pretty sensitive right now.)
Anyways, OK I'm done bashing. But the truth is, there is NO WAY IN HELL that the hit on Brady was dirty. In regards to the comment that J.A. on Sept.7 @8:05 posted and I quote, " Morris crawled up towards Brady's leg and just put his hands around Brady's leg, hugging it. This is horrible." Now J.A., are you serious?? Did you read what you typed after you typed it? Because if you did, you would've realized that that's Pollards job....To Tackle the quarterback.? Oh wait, he didn't even really tackle him. Just like what J.A. wrote, Pollard hugged his legs. I think he gave him a little kiss too. Hell, if you guys saw a dirty play, then I saw them two making out and getting real dirty! ( I'm not bashing now, just being funny.)
I know your team will probably NOT be in the Super Bowl this year because Brady is pretty good and w/out him you guys probably won't make it this year . ( See, I can give a complement. ) But seriously, this is the REAL reason why you Patriot fans are truly upset. You now know that your season is probably over. Moss doesn't have Brady to throw the ball to him and if Moss wouldn't have said anything, then you crazy Patty Wacko Fanz wouldn't even be mad. And that's the REAL TRUTH!!!

Oh wait, you Pats might be right !! WHO'S BETTER THAN A TEAM THAT CHEATS, TO KNOW A DIRTY PLAY WHEN THEY SEE ONE? Right?.Ha Ha!!

The comment below is a joke, or the guy who posted it is nothing more than an idiot. Lifetime ban? What planet are you from, moron?

"Speak the truth Randy!!! This needs to be said loud and clear, and that thug for KC needs to go down hard. We all know that Herm has had it in for Belichick after Bill has been beating up on his mentor Tony for the last decade. The NFL should investigate this matter, as it has long been speculated that Herm would try to do something like this to Brady in order to help out his friend Dungy. I think lifetime bans could be in order for these two if the speculation is proven true

I really don't think it was dirty. That is what he is paid to do. Randy you are a pussy, if you think that is dirty or anybody else. If you have never played Football, then you need to shut up. I live in Minnesota and I've watched Randy play many of times. He is right , he's not a dirty player, he is a player that dosen't play, unless he wants to. I've seen it here, I've seen it in L.A., & now I see it in N.E. I also see the "PATS AS CHEATERS". If anything they shouldn't be playing for there spying.

What?!?!?!! Pretty boy Brady gets his knee blown out and all the sudden it's dirty? Whatever! It's called FOOTBALL! It's not dirty when it happens to anybody else, but when the pretty boy gets knocked out it's dirty. Get over it! See you in 2009! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Only a NE fan would say that's a dirty play. The other 95% says otherwise.

I think that when you make tackles, people get hurt sometimes. Randy Moss needs to quit being a ball baby. You Patriot fans are just mad because the Giants beat you in the Super Bowl and ruined your perfect (cheating) season. Brady's out and thats just tough S&*@. Get over it and play some football.

you had to know that the patriots would try something like this, its just their way, kinda like cheating too

Moss, lets talk about dirty or substandard play...we all saw the game when you played for the Raiders and wanted to leave the team...back of the endzone you had a chance to catch the ball to tie or win the game...but selfish and stuck on yourself non-team player, you stopped your route and dropped your arms allowing a Chiefs player to intercept and cost the Raiders the game...just your way of saying trade me or i will screw the team every chance i get...HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FUMBLE THE BALL WHEN YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TOUCHED BY A DEFENDER, OR WAS THAT A DIRTY PLAY TOO (WAS THE BALL ALTERED BEYOND YOUR ABILITY TO HANDLE) (GET OVER YOURSELF T.O. 2 OR IS IT OCHO SINCO 2)

May I say that many of you non-literate MF'ers cannot spell to save your lives anyways, that includes you yankees4ever. Instead of busting someone on their spelling of "power words" maybe you should cut and paste your rant into a Word document and use spell check, you tool. VANNA, not VANA, but I'm sure you knew that didn't you yankees4ever..?!? And everyone else sitting here bitching about this being a dirty play, look... I have to agree with others on here in saying football is a contact sport. Plays are made, and consequently, people get hurt from time to time. I think that's par for the course, but what do I know, I'm not a Pats or Giants fan. And whilst Bob Belichick is slime and probably wondering where his marriage went and why his parenting skills suck because of his kid smoking reefer, he still has coached the Patriots to the Super Bowl. Maybe I'm smoking too, but I don't think that the Patriots cheated as much as people speculate they did. That does take some skill, even if Tom Brady is a chav. Sports and politics should be separate, stop making such a big deal about it. Nobody cares about the Yankees anyways, except people who can't move on. Everyone calm the hell down.

Pollard was actually moving in an upward motion until Morris pushed him down. Pollard did not know that Brady was going to step forward, and he definitely didn't know that Morris was going to push (block) him in the back. Where is the penalty for that block in the back? The defenders job is to make tackles, and the offensive players job is to avoid defenders (tackles). It is as simple as that! It is FOOTBALL and it is a VIOLENT sport that REQUIRES people to Physically Collide with one another. Who cares what the Pats (team, team mates, and fans) think. Moss just got mad because it was a lose lose play for him. He lost his QB for the year, and he lost the BALL, and now he knows his season is over just like BRADY's.

Here's a thought- lets give all the NFL quarterbacks some flag belts and flags and prohibit any type of contact between a defensive player and the quarterback that would solve all the wining! It would be a mixture of NFL and powderpuff football. Perhaps we should look at having the linebackers having flags as well, then we wouldn't have to worry about crack-backs and cut blocks? Come on- look at the play again, he was clearly pushed from the back he was trying to make a tackle it was an accident!

The hit was not dirty. It was a leg tackle, I have used it when I played football. If I was in his shoes, I would have done the same, tried to get a sack.

First things first, I'm not a Brady fan. You do have to give him props for being a great QB. I wonder how good he would be W/O his OL, but that came through in the last Superbowl when he choked with defenders in his face. As far as the hit goes... " If possible, rushing defenders must make a conscious effort to avoid low hits on the quarterback. "

It's hard to stop your momentum when your hit from behind and pushed down to the ground. For everyone that thinks it was an intentional hit...I hope the pats win 12+ games and have a stellar year just to show everyone that Brady wasn't the only reason the team could win. It's called FOOTBALL not synchronized swimming.

Anyone who thinks it was dirty is a whiny dumbass who needs to suck it up. His job was to get to the quarterback, Brady still had the ball when he was hit, so w/e suck it up.

Post my comment from yesterday! it's at least as relevant as 1/2 the comments above.

u guys r morons the pats r gona have the best d-fense and win the superbowl even if they dont we still won 3 superbowls and went 18-1 better then any of ur pathetic teams wat the giants won 1 superbowl in the past 10 years losers. we got 3 bitches. everyone hates boston sports because we whoop ur sissy ass teams which reflect there fans when they whine they keep scoring points stop scoring so many points waaaa waaa i get paid a 599 million dollars a year stop scoring so many points. c what u dont realize we already have our rings the celts sox and pats thats 6 championships and an 18-1 season since the new millenium eat it bitches.

The only thing Matt Cassel has to achieve is to make the pundents talk about 'Matt' and not refer to 'Tom' at all. Not about what's missing, but about what's still present! Being backup to Brady doesn't mean not #1 quality! I expect by the end of the season Matt will look better than 95% of the rest of league QBs. He just needs to dope slap people into remembering he's the current No. 1 on Pats and not the #2 backup. Bust 'em up Cassel, 2008-09 season belongs to you. Tom did it to Drew, need I say anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'll call you the 'the bust 'em up kid.' BUST 'EM UP!
