Most of her diatribe article after article is usually about how DS and Cerrato have a tendancy to spend, spend, spend in FA and get nothing. She was kinda nice last Oct. when she finally decided to crawl out from under her rock and commended the team for not going on a spending spree in the offseason.

I think she and JLC need to realize as well as some on many of the boards.....you either build through the draft as NE has in the past and picked up low costing vetrans in hopes they still have a little in their tanks, or you build through FA. When you have a team that has terrible scouts and can't find a snow flake in a snow storm then your best bet is to build through FA where you have seen the players talent and he's probably gotten up to speed of the NFL.

There also is no way we could just start picking draft picks and not use FA especially when you have many holes to fill. Last year was great. Lets hope we keep all 4 or 5+ draft picks this year and perhaps find a gem who was undrafted. Hopefully next year we have all 7 picks and can keep doing the same. Problem was in years past we seemed to pick 7 or 8 players and keep 2-3 on the roster.

I am sorta boycotting the WP. I used to get all my info from them. Especially when the draft approached and during training months. I have not purchased a WP in several months if not a year ago. My sole reason for buying it was for the sports section. Well and perhaps the funnies. lol. but I find myself looking at the local paper or none at all.
