i like Amendola. like what he did in STL, think he’ll do a good job in NE. better than Welker? Not sure about that.

Lingering resentment over the dropped passes in key moments. Irrational, but we are talking about New England.

/just making shit up.

Chief, guess I didn’t care enough to look it up the other times I wondered that, but for some reason just thought they were barred from having any kind of earnings.

better than Welker? Not sure about that.

They lose a lot in terms of Welker knowing the system and having a great rapport with Tom but Amendola catches my eye as a better player on a crummy team than Welker did on Miami. I think Amendola will do great IF he can stay health.

My goodness. what a shot in the face of Welker.

they’re willing to give Amendola as much guaranteed as they were Welker TOTAL?

Is the Amendola deal final? What did they pay him?

5 year, $31 million, $10 million guaranteed.

Can they do that?

I said it kind of in jest, but, yes.

Unless he has a really nice off-season job.

Can they do that?

He comes from one really rich family, right?

I assume so if the game where he was courtside said it was a birthday gift to himself. Unless he has a really nice off-season job.

This annoying pile of shit almost makes me miss the Tebow coverage.

Amendola instead of Welker? Seems like a fair bit of money for a guy who cant stay on the field.
