Still wish we would've kept Powe, i don't care how dumb he is, how smart do you actually have to be to muscle up and eat space 10-12 snaps a game?

On that note, has Powe even made another roster, anyone?

Powe isn't on a roster, so wishing they'd kept him means that he'd be wasting a roster spot on a guy that isn't even on a practice squad elsewhere.

There's no way that megalomaniacal dickhead would've 'stooped' to asking Love to come back after Love didn't kiss the ring on his way out the door.

Any support whatsoever for this other than your butt?

Yes or no?

Yes or no?

You're a ****ing trailer trash reerun, BTW.

Getting cut by your first team then signing and being cut without seeing any playing time by a 2nd team isn't "bouncing around and responding well". If he responded so ****ing well after his one "bounce" he wouldn't have been cut by the worst team in the league, idiot.

And you're a ****.

The PFT story directly ties Love being cut by the Pats to him being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Says they gave him option to retire or be cut. Not that familiar with what symptoms would mean for a D-Lineman. I'm sure dietary changes and stuff, but seems kind of extreme for that to be only reason to let go. (And then never re-sign no matter how desperate you are.)

For what? Love was very outspoken about his feelings when he was cut.

Are you asking for support regarding Belichick being a petty asshole? Because I'm fairly certain the record is pretty straightforward on that one as well.

He's on his third team this year, Dummy.

If that isn't the definition of "bouncing around", then every woman that's seen you naked hasn't laughed uncontrollably.

But man, the few times he flashed, he really flashed... he once literally blew up 3 men head on to make the tackle.

Some more details on his departure from the Pats:

Kyle Love Blasts the New England Patriots and Fans About His Release
Kyle Love Takes to Twitter and the Press to Express His Unhappiness with Patriots and Fans

By Andrew Martin | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Wed, May 22, 2013 11:42 AM EDT

COMMENTARY| Breakups rarely go well, and the one between defensive tackle Kyle Love and the New England Patriots has become particularly strained. Since being released, he has criticized his former team and even blasted fans who weighed in on his departure.

After having spent the past three years with New England, Love was released by the team with the designation of a non-football injury on May 15 following being diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. The move disappointed his agent, Richard Kopelman, who told ESPN Boston, "Naturally, we are disappointed that the Patriots decided to part ways with Kyle, especially in light of the fact that a number of elite professional athletes with diabetes -- both Type-1, which is known to be far more difficult to manage than Type-2 diabetes -- have had very successful careers in professional football, hockey, baseball and basketball."

Love originally joined the Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Mississippi State University. He went from fighting for a roster spot to being a valuable contributor during his tenure. The 26-year-old played in 41 games (26 starts) with New England, recording totals of 5.5 sacks and 65 tackles.
Love's status in 2013 was murky even before his illness was discovered. The Patriots brought in free-agent defensive linemen Tommy Kelly and Armond Armstead to compete for playing time in the team's new 4-3 defensive alignment. If Love had stayed, he would have battled them during training camp for playing time and possibly even a roster spot.

The Jacksonville Jaguars quickly snapped up Love following his release, but that hasn't stopped him from lashing out against his former team.
The jilted defensive tackle told the Florida Times-Union he wasn't surprised by New England giving him the boot. "That's how they run their business up there; veteran guys who have been there for years and put in a lot of work get treated like rookies."

Love refuted that he had lost any significant amount of weight or had fallen out of shape during the offseason, as many had speculated. While his medical diagnosis appears to have played a part, finances may have also been a contributing factor. The Boston Globe reported that his departure saves the team $850,000 in cap space.

Love softened his stance when asked about how he would handle the situation moving forward. "My wife asked me how I felt after the whole thing went down and it was bittersweet. You're sad, but then you're happy at the same time. I'm just trying to move on and not really worry about what happened."

It became clear Tuesday that he was not prepared to move on just yet, as he took to Twitter to blast New England fans who have pestered him since his situation became public. He also brusquely instructed fans in another tweet to stop hounding him about his release.

Finally, Love called out the fans who have apparently peppered him with questions and opinions, making it clear that only those who were present when he was informed of his release were qualified to speak on the subject.
Although some have clamored for Love to seek legal action against the Patriots on the grounds of discrimination, he reportedly wants to simply move forward with his playing career. That endeavor has not gotten off to a good start because of his words and actions.

There's little doubt Love is angry, if not embarrassed, by how his life and career have become public fodder. If he truly wants to move on, the best thing he could do is let his play on the field do the talking for him. Until he does, this story will continue to linger and draw attention.

I think Belichick can be an asshole. I also think he can be a great human being -- for example:

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...riots_fans_do/

NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown: "I don't compare myself with anyone. Let me tell you about someone I do admire. Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots has contributed more to the work I surround myself with than any black athlete in modern times—financially, intellectually, every way. He's been in the prisons with me. He's met gang members in my home; he's met gang members in Cleveland [where Belichick coached the Browns from 1991 to '95]. He's put up money. He's opened up areas of education for us very quietly and very strongly. Imagine what would happen if Michael Jordan did the same thing."

I had honestly forgotten about Love's comments when he was released. I also don't believe that the diabetes was the sole reason he was let go, since teh Patriots drafted a player a few years ago in the 3rd or 4th round -- a DB whose name I forget -- who was known to have diabetes. That player didn't work out, unfortunately.

Good move, can't let San Diego beetus.
