Aside from Brady and Gronk I'm trying to think of who the Patriots paid their real value for any amount of time (Revis doesn't count, that was a rental, and hell Brady isn't making as much as he should really)

Solder and McCourty currently for the most part. Other guys would be players like Wilfork, Mayo, Mankins, Seymour... guys with skill sets that are too difficult to replace in their 2nd contracts.

But yeah, the Patriots have had a habit of extending players early to get them at a discount (Gronk is the primary option of that), and spending more on tertiary players and older vets past their prime money years instead of the prime 2nd contract guys that tend to eat all the cap space.

they're probably hoping to get a bradford style trade, where some starter goes down just before the season and they can get a much higher price

How do you feel about the openly right NFL players and owners?

The argument "they support my personal views, that's good." is really weak.

Who is allowed to have an opinion on politics in your world?

People with deep knowledge of the topic they are talking about. That's probably unrealistic today, but that's my view. But it's not about having an opinion but about broadcasting it to a huge following. If an NFL player made an (anonymous) account on some message board to discuss politics, that would be ok.

Hardly anyone in the United States as a deep understanding of the complexity of some of the problems politics deal with.

Great podcast on this topic:

But that doesn't mean people don't get to voice their opinion if they didn't spend their entire career studying the health care system in the United States.

So really... loving anyone, then? At what point in the rapid dismissal of a person because of their job do you actually gauge their knowledge of the topic at hand?

How do you feel about George Clooney's viewpoints and advocacy re: African genocide? Do you believe he's not well versed and knowledgeable about the topic?

Everyone should be ambidextrous. To be biased to one side is to have a fatal flaw that your opponent can exploit, like having a left wing player who can only kick with his right foot.
