Darrell Revis is my Binky

Ask yourself in wonderment why a new Patriot is wearing a Bruins hat?
See if you can conclude any correlation?  You're a smart guy, you can do it.  


Come on LR.  We all know what goes on here.   


The only "good" Peyton is the one third row down, six across.  He's an awesome, first ballot, HOFer, role model in the community, of whom I have direct personal knowledge that he has saved old women, children and cats from certain death by acting in heroic fashion with no regard for his own personal safety.

The rest are evil, no good, stat hound, chokers.

Sometimes you win, other times not.
e.g.  The Colts got the better of the deal when Vinateri left to go to Indy.  Again, money.  Revis to Bucs to Pats.  (Verdict out).
Goes on and on. Has been for years in most sports.

K.G. and Ray Allen coming to the Celtics only won one title (and went to another finals but lost), and you can look at their 5-6 year run, whatever it was, in Boston two ways depending on your outlook in life. 

Either you're a glass half-full guy, and say, I'll take it.  The one title was a great ride, a real party.  Loved KG and Ray Ray when they were here.

Or you're a glass half-empty guy, and you say, Pffft. They only won the thing once.  Not enough.  Not impressed.  They shoulda won more. Big disappointment.

I watch Francesa on Fox1 Sports since I can't get WFAN here in Florida.  He says the same thing.  Players go to a city for a championship. Some choose a big city  because what it offers.  He said LeBron is the exception.  We'll see who offers Carmelo Anthony the max or where he goes.  I know he won't go to Miami.  No money there.  That's why San Antonio is great.  Duncan is getting $10 mill next year, Genobli $7mm.  Wade is due $22mm. Good luck with that.

Can't you just listen to WFAN on the internet, or do you mean you want to watch them on TV and can't do that?

Oftentimes I just go on wfan.com and see who the guest is whose interview is achieved, and if its a guest I'm interested in, I will give a listen.

I listen to Beningo, but only when he talks football, not the other sports.  I get a kick out of him.

I remenber going to a Mets playoff game in 1987. (Yes the Mets did go to a playoff game or two)  , and before the game  began it was pouring, that's when Don Imus turned on WFAN symbolically to become the nation's first all-sports radio station.

When I moved here...I had "YES" TV on a satellite dish,   Had Mike (Francesa) and Chris Russo on daily.   I like Joe Benigno, a true Jets fan on 10-1.  Boomer?  Eh.
I'm 65 miles north of Miami in Palm Beach County.  Pretty fair market.


Thanks for the 411, George.

As an aside, Gup....WFAN ran a contest many years ago for a listener to do a show with some host.  Beningo won.   He was so enthralled, he quit his job in N.J. as a frozen food salesman and took a job in Elizabeth, N.J. on some dinky station, and then began filling in on WFAN.  The rest is history.

I'm familiar with Beningo's origins.  Started out as a regular guy who just called in frequently to talk sports, and ended up eventually hosting the show after he won the contest.  A real fan.  I can feel his pain when he talks Jets and the frustration in his voice that he been waiting 45 years for another superbowl. 

When I go to wfan.com, the 10:00 slot with Beningo is the one I click on most frequently.  Then Francesa, depending on who he is interviewing, then the morning show.

Right!  Beningo was "Joe from Saddle River".   You probably have FoxSports1 on your tv.  Francesa is on simulacast with the Fan from 1-5.   Russo is now on MadDog Radio (Sirius). Not bad, named a station after him and he gets good money.  He's a good guy.

Russo is often interviewed on Boston sports radio.  Well, I shouldn't say "often", but from time to time anyway.  He always gives a good interview.

The moniker "Mad Dog" is really a reflection of his passion for sports.

I think you have to leave that one out. That was the game where BB claimed that Revis had help over the top on almost every play. Which is to say, I assumed at the time,  meant that there was a safety on the field on every play, and on almost every one he was looking towards the general area where Revis was embarrassing Moss.
That's all I could figure he meant by "help" anyway. 


"Help" or not, 4 catches for just 24 yards, for the second greatest receiver of all time?  I'll keep it in.

Gup, you just gave your "Welker" example of an earlier post whether you knew it or not!
For us.....he's great!
As an opponent..he sucks.


Right.

Great:

Can't understand Belichick.  Will Brady face a tougher corner in games?    Of course not, so why not throw against Revis in parcatice, and the games will be easier?
Yet Belichick has  D-lineman holding brooms up in the air at practices  for certain teams.
