damn the season justb and ended and was wondering how the sf 49ers would to this offseason.
Enjoy Eli Manning and his $100 million dollar contract. Go Patriots!
Screw the Patriots… GO GIANTS BABY!!!!!
I know the Pats made it to the Playoffs this year and the Giants didn’t, but the lost in the first round! And also, who beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl and ruined their perfect season back in 2008…? That would be THE G-MEN!!!
The Patriots are going to rule the NFL Draft! I really like your 2010 NFL Mock Draft too.
