Tegis Posted January 22, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2018 Oh I will. It's still one of the great spectacles of the year for me, Pats fatigue notwithstanding. Speaking of, according to the Who supports Who thread @Phumfeinz and @packoman should be wetting themselves a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Pats are always good for a tight game come superbowl time. Who do the Eagles target: Gronk (and/)or Amendola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don't mind them either tbh. It is annoying how effortlessly easy they make it look though. Oh, I also read the other day about how Brady's last contract took him from a base salary of $10m a year to $1m but with a massive signing bonus. That pissed me off. Although surely the Pats can't be the only team that manipulate the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonuses count towards the cap, it's how you space the money out over the years and how much is guaranteed that's important. Players prefer a bonus as it is a guaranteed sum rather than a contract that can be terminated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted January 23, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just now, sexbelowsound said: So nothing shady going on? Nope! Brady takes a pretty small salary all things considered and cares more about winning at this moment in his career. It does help that his supermodel wife is worth more than he is and he still has pocketed about 200 million $$$$ over the years. He lives a good life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don't mind the Patriots either. In fact I admire them hugely. In a sport that punishes success with poorer draft choices, they continue to build and maintain a dynasty in the face of increasingly difficult odds. I'm actually torn between Brady getting another ring and the Eagles breaking their duck. I think I'll go with Brady getting another ring, because **** Philly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted January 23, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I'd like to clarify that my dislike of them is purely out of boredom and that they are always (in the Brady/BB era) in our way when we hit a sweet patch of success. Before B/BB, not on our radar (Apart from that season when they actually made the Superbowl after we shot ourselves in the face against the Jags ) Edited January 23, 2018 by Tegis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Absolutely. **** the Pats. Not overly keen on the Eagles franchise but at least we'll get a great It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode out of it. Maybe Charlie and his green man outfit will finally leave Pennsylvania...
