Patriots fans still smarting over 2005 Champ Bailey interceptionWelcome to the May doldrums! With the splash of free agency and the draft drying up in the soon-to-be summer sun, it’s normal for sports writers to look back on what could have been in their team’s history had things gone just a little different. One such writer, Pat Lane, from Mile High Report’ssister site, Pats Pulpit, scanned the spartan history of injustices against his team and somehow settled on one of the greatest plays in Champ Bailey’s career, the 99-yard non-scoring interception during the divisional round of the 2005 playoffs. You may review the article, here. One of the worst in NFL history? Ramifications? Come on Pat. You know better than that. Even over here in Broncos Country, we all know what the worst call in NFL history was and it pains us to say it.Just don’t tell Raiders fans we agree with them.Pat’s description of the play is entirely accurate. Tom Brady tossed an interception to Champ Bailey in the red zone and Champ ran it all the way back and had the ball knocked out of his hand at the 1-yard line. The refs called it as they saw it and the rest is history. Then Bill Belichick had the play reviewed.Being 2005, there was no pylon cam, no sideline cam, no other angles that definitively showed the ball’s location once it was knocked from 2019 Hall of Fame inductee Champ Bailey’s hands. Pat says it himself, there just isn’t a conclusive picture. Pat then goes full Zapruder, breaking down the end of the play. He carefully documents the location of the ball while completely discounting the angle of the shots. None of the photos adequately depict the ball or the goal line in relation to the sideline and goal line. The photos were taken from the roving camera-mobile thing, likely around the Patriots 15-yard line. It’s hardly an angle where a single yard can be adequately judged. For better or worse, without clear photographic evidence Von Miller Jersey White , which the video wasn’t then and the photos aren’t now, deference must be given to the refs on the field and their verdict still holds true to this day.Like in 2013 and 2015, the 2005 Patriots were no match for the Denver Broncos. Despite their tremendous success (free of controversy, scandal, and consternation), it’s interesting to see them return to one of their worst post-season losses and wonder what could have been. I know the Patriots and their fans love to create narratives where they are somehow the underdog to rally support for their team as though theirs isn’t one of the most impressive sports dynasties in sports history, but is this really the best hill on which to plant that narrative? Despite all the photos... CHAMP BAILEY IS STILL THERE... You know, out at the 1-yard line. If we’re breaking down tragedies on video, I suggest Pat look at this incredibly creepy mattress commercial that airs locally in New England. What is up with this nightmare?What’s with the turtleneck? What’s with the elongated stares? Why establish opulence only to reveal a jail cell-like room with no windows? I hold the other fellow in the commercial as complicit in whatever nefarious acts (crimes?) Tom is about to commit on this spartan and likely overpriced mattress set. “Can I get you anything?” Yeah, dude, how about a damn pillow?!

Los Angeles selected him out of Memphis in the third round. CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Nearly 200 local youngsters weren’t dissuaded by the task of picking up trash in their neighborhood Thursday. Not with the chance to be taught football skills by former NFL players, even a Hall of Famer.As the latest portion of the league’s Huddle for 100 initiative designed to encourage people nationwide to “donate 100 minutes of your time, and help shape what your community will look like for the next 100 years,” the Huddle for Healthy Youth event occurred hours before the Hall of Fame game between the Broncos and Falcons.On a field in an area a few miles from the hall, the kids ran through drills under the guidance for emcee Shawn Crable, who played for the Patriots; Bobby Taylor, who spent 10 years in the NFL; and Hall of Fame member Joe DeLamielleure. While the football workouts were an important part, the retired players emphasized the value of promoting community service.“This is about building character and taking care of our home,” Crable said. “I used to run around in this neighborhood. I’m excited to do something I love, play football, but also to help the community.”An underserved community.“This builds bridges,” Taylor said. “We don’t see enough of these kind of things. I grew up in a neighborhood like this. When the people saw the kids picking up (trash), they appreciated what was doing on and what is being taught to these kids.“It goes a long way.”How far?Consider that many of the youngsters involved in the cleanup and makeshift clinic have nowhere to go, no means of transportation and little to do during the summer. The Stack Metropolitan Housing Authority that oversaw the event — along with the Hall of Fame and NFL personnel — can offer little more than free lunches to the kids during the summer when school is out. There are smaller programs such as planting vegetable boxes or cooking and healthy eating instructions, but nothing on the scale of what took place at South East Community Center John Elway Jersey , which also included youth football coaches from USA Football. bag that also included a Play 60 football.“This is the first time we’ve had anything of this scale in our community,” said Lisa Seeden, the resident services director at the housing authority. “It really speaks to the neighborhood.”The Huddle for 100 is one of many league programs celebrating its 100th season, which begins for real on Sept. 5 when the Bears host the Packers. A hunger drive at the NFL draft in Nashville in April was a huge success, and next up is an event leading up to the kickoff game in Chicago.On Thursday, the youngsters got to “clean up, and their reward is playing football,” said Melissa Schiller, the NFL’s director of community relations. “They are experiencing giving back to the community in a vehicle with the NFL and there’s lots of excitement.”There was even time for some mascot chasing .Canton’s Seeden notes that communities must build off the momentum from such events because they can lead to more programs. She praised the way the kids “came together” for a cause. And to learn about the sport — plus so much more.“You don’t have to be the best, you have to work to be the best,” DeLamielleure told his audience of youngsters ages 6-14. “Character is more important than football. When nobody is around and you’re looking in the mirror, you know the truth for how you’ve been behaving. That’s what football teaches you, what it taught me.”
