Four years later, many changes for Patriots, Giants
- Of the 106 players who were on the active rosters for the Giants and Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, 2008, only 23 are still employed with the same team today.

Branch Concedes That Pats Caught A Break On Fumble Reversal
The Pats were the better team on Sunday. However, breaks DO help win games. Would things have developed differently had the Jets been awarded the ball still down 10-7 in the third? Jets LB Calvin Pace was still furious about the call about the game:
“It was a fumble.. And again, the referees missed another one. You know what they’re going to do? They’re going to write us a letter about how they missed another call and what does that do? Nothing.
“Yeah, start drinking early. Get nice and rowdy. 4:15 game, lot of time to get lubed up. Come out here, and cheer for the home team.”
New England Patriots quarterback TOM BRADY, giving his team’s fans advice on how to stay inebriated sloshed classy for their game against the Chargers this Sunday.
The team later clarified, via a statement, that by “lubed up” Brady meant “Stay hydrated and drink a lot of water.”
I guess the Patriots think y’all are already drunk.
In an interview with WEEI this morning, Tom Brady said that he would “welcome Randy Moss with open arms”. Randy has also said that he would come back to New England. So now there is all sort of speculation. I find it really hard to believe that the Patriots would bring him back. If it was up to me, I’d offer him a low contract that’s easy to cut. Ideally an incentive laden deal would work with these players, but not in this case, he’d be asking for the ball way too much in order to reach his incentives. When it’s all said and done, I strongly doubt that Randy Moss will be on the Patriots roster at all this year.
Ta-Da!!!
Tom Brady talking about his “favorite subject”: The NY Jets
QB Tom Brady on Jets coach Rex Ryan: “As long as he hates me, I’m cool.”
Tom Brady, on the Jets: “They’ve had some successful postseasons, making it to the AFC Championship game.” (Shrugs)
“We text back and forth and rip each other back and forth before we ever play,” Ryan said. “That’s what we do. ‘Who’s going to be on me?’ ‘We’re going to put [Jets nose tackle] Sione Pouha on you.’
“But we have fun with each other. Trust me, we’ve said a lot worse to each other than what was reported. But I think he just went public with those comments, and that’s probably what upset Belichick.”
