Patriots coach Bill Belichick again praised the playmaking ability of cornerback Asante Samuel, saying he "absolutely" considered Samuel an elite corner. To keep Samuel, the Patriots are going to have to pay him like one because one more win and Samuel can't be franchised again next season.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! I want Asante Samuel to come to Dallas! All Summer long I had to listen to Patriots fans say that Samuel is not that good and they can replace him, he only had one good season............BS! This guy is Lockdown and he is Young! Screw the Pats Asante! The Pats fans were dogging you the whole time.

What is going to be interesting to see is how they structure CB Asante Samuel and WR Randy Moss's Contracts. Will Tom Brady Re-Structure his contract?

Samuel will probably walk.......because he has the Super Bowls........Now he wants the Money. I understand that. He will make probably the same or more than CB Nate Clements.

Pats don't chase players with money. This is a mistake all other NFL teams make. They throw all their eggs into 2 or 3 "stars" and the rest of the team suffers. Not the Pats. They want players who are willing to take an average salary, be a team player, and go out and win championships. And they've been quite successful at it!

PAY HIM!! He always seems to be in the perfect position to make the big play.

Can't wait to welcome Troy back!!! Agree that Samuel is a great player but if he gets too greedy, he won't be a Patriot next year!!! The Pat's are a group that play like a team, if Samuel wants to be a me me me player, he won't be around next year. Pay him what he is worth doesn't always mean what the player think he is worth!!!!!

Now you would think that a stadium-load of red-blooded American football fans would be more than delighted to see Victoria's Secret supermodel Selita Ebanks strutting her stuff at the Pats-Eagles game the other night. But noooooo . . . .Word from our spies in the Gillette Stadium stands is that Selita - who was in Foxboro for a panty promotion - was booed by Patriots Nation when she got on the Jumbotron to give away free lingerie. -- Boston Herald

You have offended God by booing an angel. You will return to the depths of mediocracy from which you came. AND what a bunch of quears.

Victoria's Secret was probably trying to take advantage of the fact that a former Angel, Miss Giselle Bundgen, is dating Tom Brady.....Oh well it backfired!!!.....LOL! It's football, people....... NOT A LINGERIE PARTY!

JCMD for the last time they weren't saying "boo" they were saying "b00bs"!
Asante wants to get paid, he even has a tattoo that says it.
He knows he can get big$ for another team, but he also knows the most certain route to more rings is through foxboro. And I for one never criticised his holdout, I know his value. He'll sign for top CB $ with NE

You have the offended God and , like Moses, you will be denied seeing the promised land. Instead you will be sacrificed by the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

Cowboy fans like watching angels in lingerie.

November 28, 2007  09:30 AM ET

This is the second time you brought that up JCMD,and it is an insult to Pat's fan's having a moron like you call us "quears" as you spell it.You make me laugh every time i see your name and profile pic because #1.The name makes me think your into incest and #2.Major Payne was one of the worst movies of all time.

Patriot fans apparently like seeing Tom Brady in lingerie.

Hey maybe Tom can finally get a commercial. I can just see him with the little white wings on.

November 28, 2007  09:32 AM ET

You're a queer Harry.

November 28, 2007  09:33 AM ET

Hey, it doesn't get filtered.

JCMD - Pats fans dont go to the game for a naughty nighty party, we go to watch the game.. hard to fathom isnt it?

Asante? Dont listen to Amer. Legend. He's still woozy from all that tryptophan. We know you wouldnt go to Dallas.. you dont like TO. We know..

If Asante is smarter than Dieon Branch and I think he is, he won't pull the holdout act. He knows where that kind of thing ends up in Scott and Bills heads... He'll sign a nice deal with plenty of incentives and he'll stay with NE.
