Season starts in less than 24 hours. I know the big guns don't come in until next season, but I'm excited to see what year two of the Gates era brings. [Reply]

I’m not saying they are a final 4 team but you have to be blind to not see how much more athletic this team is than last year…and on a Nth degree a Kim Anderson team. [Reply]

I always like Haley and I hated Cassel, but honestly I can't blame him for accepting the contract he did. It's that fucking idiot Pioli that was responsible for that. Pioli is #1 on my hate list among the guys on this list.
#1 Pioli
#2 Kimmy
#3 Martin
#4 Cassel
#5 Haley
It's amazing how all of these Patriot way jackasses follow the same exact script and bring in some back up Patriot QB to take over the starting job. [Reply]
Aidan Shaw looked like a real monster last night. He's gotten stronger, the offensive game has expanded a little bit, and his length and athleticism are such weapons defensively.
Bates and Grill also have majorly upgraded the athleticism on the wing.
Fun team, and I'm looking forward to this year. [Reply]
