New England Patriots Links for 6/8/08

I thought it would be fun to point out that the AP completely misinterpreted Tom’s comments regarding his ankle and turned it into a headline saying “Tom Brady still slowed by ankle injury”. Yahoo, ESPN, and CBS have all run the story with similar headlines, though ESPN later completely changed the story when they realized it was wrong without making ANY mention of their tiny little error. Here is the link to the CBS story, still unchanged (could change or be removed by the time you click this link, though).

Taking a page out of Roger Goodell’s book, I would have to say that I completely disagree with the AP reporter’s interpretation of Tom Brady’s comments, and therefore believe it’s only fair that he is fined $500,000 and his employer $250,000 for this completely false and misleading report. This infraction cannot go unpunished =P

Anyway… I agree wholeheartedly on the McFadden thing. The rookie contracts are out of control.

How insane are they
Here they are compared to the current elite players at their postion

for losing franchises. They really need to make a rookie salary cap or something.
