Pats Pulpit's newest co-writer, NESilver

by MaPatsFan on Mar 16, 2009 11:50 AM EDT in New England Patriots News

In a move eerily similar to franchising Matt Cassel, Pats Pulpit is proud to announce our newest co-writer, NESilver. The co-writer tag was a necessary evil; the Arrowhead Pride crew appeared to be sinking their claws quickly and we could not lose such a valuable contributor, not without a fight anyway.

On a serious note, NESilver has been a longtime and frequent contributor to The Pulpit, always seeking to educate, backing up his big football IQ and opinions with hard facts; lord knows I need help in that area. As we approach the draft, he will be concentrating on statistics and player profiles for our recent and past FA, UFA, and draftees.

A big congrats to NESilver and a big THANK YOU for all you've done and are about to do for this community.

Welcome!

The pay is double what you made as an individual commenter, plus you get to make your own hours, and the benefits are immeasurable. : ) Great to have you on board NESilver (and, um, don’t quit your day job.)

Keep the faith!

Nice!

There are gonna be so many zeroes on that paycheck (~~okay, maybe just one big fat zero~~).

Many thanks

Now that I’ve been tagged, we can charge those AP guys with tampering if they try any funny business! ;)

But seriously, I love the way this site is run so I’ll be contributing as best as I can, and thanks for having me.

Also

Matt Cassel had the franchise tag and he was still traded.

Just sayin’….

Lol, thanks guys, I appreciate it.

And that’s an excellent point you bring up about being traded, but Cassel’s cap hit was upwards of $14 million.

Mine is the vet minimum =P

Quarterback, OLB, general manager… One might think you’re greedy. ;-)

I call shenanigans!

Honestly, NESilver, congrats.

If you are even half the contributor here as you were on AP, it is very well deserved.

BTW – I think you could still be involved in a 3 way trade, I think Pats Pulpit is only listening to offers not actively shopping you. Bus Cook & Jay Cutler say differently. :)

We still want to see you around AP!
