WOW!!!

The one-week stay ended on Thursday for Kellen Winslow in somewhat mysterious fashion. It was widely reported that Winslow requested his release from the Patriots. Bill Belichick supported that notion on Friday, saying the release was for "personal reasons."

"We talked about several different things," Belichick said Friday, according to The Boston Globe. "At the end of that discussion, I felt that it was best that we release Kellen for personal reasons. So that's what we did."

TH,
Yep,I was curious about what that was about too.Belichik,sounds like a d/i/ck too me.

He tosses peeps off the team all the time 'Hire then fire'.

But I'd trade up for Him,and dump Lewis given the chance!

Winslow knew he'd be gone once Hernandez came back.

Hey kiddo, Winslow wanted out and Bill said okay. Kellen knew his knee wasn't going to get him very far with the Pats but, hey, he left with $48,000. Not a bad pay for the little amount of work done.

Soon-to-be 62.

The way I see it, Kellen Winslow wanted out and he got his wish. I don't think he really thought Bill would plead with him to stay. If it were the other way around, Bill cutting him from the team, then yeah, I could understand your statement. I just hope we'll be ready for the Bills on Sunday. I really don't want to go back to being 6-10 again. I don't think my heart could take it. ;)

Too true. Those Arizona Cardinals seem to be for real this year. Could be their turn in the spotlight.

Yep,
They are doing great,it could be a good season for them,i wish them the best,NO has been a great dissapointment so far,But anything goes when they take on GB,it ain't gonna be a 'given'by any means.

The Browns gave alot of grief too Baltimore,they blew out Cincy on MNF,but almost over slept on Cleveland.

Another surprise is the VIKES,they ain't going 'quietly into the night' this year,and will throw a wrench in any given game.

I see Oakland giving the Broncos all they can handle.

I think the 'Changing of the Guard' is in order, whereas some of the cellar dwellers are starting to look like contenders, and some of the annual contenders, i.e. Pittsburgh, NE, etc, are getting old.
Some are still stuck in the middle of the road, such as my Cowboys. The defense has vastly improved, but the O line seems to have disappeared, causing the offense to be........well, offensive. Maybe as time goes on?

The Browns, although not having won a game yet, looked good against Baltimore the other night. Parity, right?

Actually the Pats are getting younger especially on defense. We know the Brady window is growing smaller but Mallet should be ready when the time comes. Like another club we know so well they need to get some work done on the o-line. They have young RB's and TE's as well.

How much of the problem is the players and how much is Josh McDaniels?

Bull.
Sooner or later,just a matter of making the 'right decesions' obviosly like the Steelers and baltimore have done,I see Cincy drafting that way from here on in.

Yeah,i was hoping for an upset,but as it's said,'on any given monday/thurday/sunday'.
