Two sports articles today, both related to the Patriots:

No New Defensive Coordinator for Pats
So apparently, Belichick won’t hire a defensive coordinator this year. It is true that Belichick is a defensive mastermind. But is it really to the team’s benefit if Belichick puts more work on himself? A boss or a manager is supposed to find talented people and delegate tasks to them, not take it all on himself. Is it that he trusts no one else to do this job? Or is it that he believes so much in his own system that he will not take any diversion of opinion? Either way, I think that Belichick or anyone putting that much extra work on themselves is a bad idea and, if not the cause of an eventual burnout, will be the reason the person would end up becoming the team scapegoat should things go wrong.

Manning > Brady?
Dan Shaughnessy thinks so. To be honest, I don’t think I ever believed that Tom Brady was better than Peyton Manning. I like the Patriots, but I don’t hate the Colts like most Pats fans do and I also respect Manning’s talent and awareness of his situation. And I’m not oodling over Brady like a lot of Pats fans do, either; Matt Cassell came in a year ago and put up some pretty good numbers himself. It was almost like we didn’t really need Brady to have a good year, as long as we had good coaching and good talent in the receiving corps and the offensive line. Brady is indeed an important player and he is the face of the team, but at the same time, he isn’t quite at godly status.
