No matter who wins on Sunday week one fact that will be true is that the only two head coaches ever hired by Bob Kraft, since he bought the Patriots almost 21 years ago, will have won five superbowls between them.

Just a glimpse of how important an owner is.

or how lucky..if Drew Belsoe never got injured then Brady probably wouldn't have been given a shot.

Tom Brady has nothing to do with how Pete Carroll has done in the NFL.

He didn't take credit and nobody is saying he should either. I'm simply pointing out that the two head coaches hired by the owner of the Patriots have both won Superbowls and if the result I don't want to happen in this one does occur then the two head coaches he hired will be multiple Superbowl winners.

I'm giving him credit for being able to identify great coaches.

ok good point. Parcells was the other coach he had , albeit not hired by him, who a couple of SB's under his belt. No pressure on the next head coach they hire so...

Sorry to see that TO. seems to have closed his account. No doubt it was probably due to some of the utter tripe and nonsense in the other thread. Hope the rest of ye don't follow him. Ignore the hate lads, success and dominance just breeds hate and it's to be expected really.

This story is just getting boring and blown way out of proportion. It's about time the nfl commented on the situation.

I really disliked the way it was initially tweeted out.
[paraphrasing]Pats been investigated, could result in loss of draft picks.[/paraphrasing]
Does it have to be leaked out? Does it have to be tweeted before the investigation begins (knowing the stir it would cause)? Do we really need wall-to-wall coverage?

If the Pats are guilty, then they would deserve the scrutiny and backlash.
But the whole 'circus' thing is just OTT.
I mean Tom's eye is still a bit red, and yet it got very little coverage; legal OL plays got in-dept analysis, yet gouging gets virtually passed over.

Hoping we can 'move onto Seattle' soon.

This one made me chuckle regarding the press conference with Tom and the analysis after

My wife walked in, watched for a minute, shook her head, and said "I can't believe you give me **** for my reality TV."
I couldn't really argue. This is some soapy, trifling **** right here.

It's a bit of an irony that as the Seattle Seahawks try to become the first back-to-back champions in 10 years that they'll have to face the last team to pull off that feat the Patriots. If you live in Dublin I seen this morning the Portobello pub just past Rathmines is advertising they will be showing the game probably with some promotion from Bud or something. What others around Dublin ?

I watched the ravens 9ers game in the Portabello, not a bad night they didnt get the numbers so closed downstairs so less screens , arrive early if you want to *watch* the game.

If the Pats weren't playing i probably would take a look at watching it in the Odeon at the Dublin Rebels party....10e a ticket there's a thread in this forum for a free beer etc. Sounds like a good set up

I'll be avoiding the Portobello from now on. Called ahead to specifically ask if they were showing the Pats Colts game on Sunday. They said yup, sure are, on all the screens etc.

What they didn't mention was they'd have the sound turned off and you'd be forced to listen to a ****ty band for the first half, and even ****tier club music for the second half.

To be fair though thats kinda standard for a Saturday night game, they wanna get bums on seats. But the superbowl is popular as they see it to make a mint on an otherwise dead night (sunday). There was sound and no band on the previous years on superbowl night

I actually booked into the hotel in the Portabello because to get a taxi home would cost about 35-40e and we got B&B in the hotel for 40e which sealed the deal.

Oh I'm sure the Super Bowl will be fine as it's the main attraction, I was just annoyed as I'd called ahead.

Though I suppose they did spare me having to listen to Phil Simms.

I've been in contact with the real TO. Lads it sorted, the fake TO.. has been site banned. He lost the plot after I posted this......

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=93981771&postcount=7407 And that's when the PM nonsense started. Thankfully he was stupid enough to login and react accordingly. Send me a PM if you want any more info.
