Recent hiatus .. keep the diaries coming

You probably noticed that I've been scarce. Many apologies, but my scarcity will continue for a bit. With the swell of news, activity and general mayhem that go with a Super Bowl run and an unprecedented undefeated 16-game regular season, a lot of stuff got neglected. It's payback time, and I have much personal business to which I must attend.

The good news is that several of you have kept up the chatter in the diaries, and I thank you all for your efforts. Further good news is that Matt Miller, proprietor of SB Nation's Mocking the Draft, is going to post some food for thought in the coming days, focusing on the Patriots' draft prospects and free agency.

Even then, there's so much to talk about. Bill Belichick's statement denying team officials had anything to do with the alleged taping of the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough prior to the Super Bowl and his apology for the ridiculous distraction it has caused. The futures of Randy Moss, Asante Samuel, Donte' Stallworth. The signing of T.J. Slaughter and possible signing of Zack Thomas. The inane $100 million lawsuit and the ramifications that has ambulance chasers everywhere drooling with idiocy and dollar signs in their eyes.

So let's hear it. Those who pull together some "newslike" presentations will have their diaries promoted to the main section for all the world to read.

Remember, I won't be doing this forever. This is your community. You make it what it is. Only your participation will allow it to survive.

Thanks again for all your participation, and Go PATRIOTS!!

Re: Belichick's statement

Here's a little logical exercise: how do we know he's telling the truth?

It's pretty simple, really -- because he's not an idiot.

Think about it. If he was lying, then Walsh has the evidence that proves he's lying. That, after all, is what Walsh has been claiming all along. And in the meanwhile, Walsh keeps refusing to show his evidence to anyone.

But if Belichick is telling the truth? Well, then Walsh has no evidence, and so you'd expect him to refuse to show it to anyone.

So we're left with three inescapable conclusions: Belichick is telling the truth, the class action lawsuit is a nuisance suit and the plaintiffs ought to be forced to pay the Pats' legal bills, and Mercury Morris is obnoxious as hell. Ok, so that last one doesn't really have anything to do with it, but isn't it tautological?
