ESPN names Tom Brady the best player in the Division

And the Sky is blue, the cow goes moo, these and other breaking important stories from the worldwide leader in sports.

Cassel proves you can put ANY QB into that situation and he’d succeed.

Then again you probably shouldn’t be hiring Sports writers from the Columbus Dispatch.

So I googled Tim Graham

to look up who he was, and I ran into another AFC East blog post. I found this gem:

Dan from New Jersey writes: What do you think of Shonn Greene? Do you think the Jets will acquire Trent Richardson? Do you think they would be a good combo?

Walker: I think Greene and Richardson would be a great combo, Dan. Unfortunately it’s not going to happen. Richardson is projected to be a top-10 pick. He could go in the top five. The Jets pick No. 16.

Emphasis mine, but I wonder if Walker can even remember how the Jets got Sanchez…

If the Jets trade UP in this draft, there will be hell to pay

The list is fairly accurate if you think of it as a ranking of how these players did in 2011

Kind of. I mean, that at least explains the massive NE bias. But I mean… Aaron Hernandez at #9? Welker over Mangold? Welker over Brandon Marshall at that? Gronk that high after just one season? Bleah

And Gronkowski has 1 good season

and suddenly he’s one of the best players in the AFC east?

Great bring up 98

I still have my Division Title T shirt. We split with Indy that year but killed them this game. Actually I miss Indy in the division. Call me a masochist but I like the competition and actually playing the majority of games within the division. In any case 98 is bittersweet as it’s the last time we won the division with a dominant team, 12-4. The last time we won at 9-7. Frankly I’d like to see us dominate the division and win it most of the time for a stretch before I die lol.
