Those 2001 Patriots started the year 1-3, and lost star quarterback Drew Bledsoe to injury. Then a man named Brady, nothing more than a forgotten sixth-round draft pick, marched the team back to respectability, and even to the playoffs...
...England is about being a team, not about being the talent. Standout running back Corey Dillon took a $1.55 million pay cut to play for the Patriots this year and quarterback Tom Brady has settled for far less than other hotshots like Peyton Manning to keep the Patriots under the salary cap.
