Willie McGinest Sacked??

This makes me sick. I can't stand the way the Pats do business. Not so much because it's "wrong" in a business sense, but because Kraft gets a pass for all of this shit. He's not that much different from Snyder and Snyder gets killed in the media. All reporters can talk about is how great Kraft is, that's bs. He's no different from Snyder, if they didn't win they'd be viewed the same way as Washington.

I don't follow what you're getting at here.

The Pats get rid of a ton of veterans who have been nothing but loyal to them for years and then they just release them. I hate when that happens. The Skins do it a lot, too, but that's not why the Skins are hated by the media.

However, I think we would all agree that the media hates Snyder. I think the media would hate Kraft if they didn't win. They cut so many vets as soon as they use them up. I hate that. I think players deserve better than that. And for the record, I know that that's "today's NFL," but I just don't like it. Just like Ike Bruce getting cut. The last few years the Pats have cut Lawyer Milloy, Ty Law, Willie McGinest and Troy Brown (although they re-signed Brown) that's ridiculous. I don't like the cut throat businessmen in the NFL. I don't like the guys who just use players up. That pisses me off. The Pats do it all the time. I don't like it and if they didn't win I think the media would attack them just like they do the Skins.

I think the knock on Snyder is the opposite though. That he offers too much money to older players who have little to nothing left in the tank. Of course, with the possible exception of Mike Barrow, this hasn't happened since 2000. Yet there are those who like to act like it happens every year.

Yeah, I think you're right about why the media hates Snyder, but what I'm saying that is that Kraft would have as much venom going his way if the Pats were a losing team over the last 5 years.
