Does Bill Belichick still have it? He's been almost a magician in Foxboro for the Patriots in terms of drafting (Tom Brady) and signing (Mike Vrabel) players, and coaching up his team into three Super Bowl titles. He's the gold standard who gets the "In Bill We Trust" label.

The Patriots beat Miami 41-14 last night and Randy Moss had zero catches. He may never catch a ball again for the NEP as the team is reportedly trying to trade him to the Minnesota Vikings, his first NFL team. The Boston Globe picked up on Jay Glazer's report on foxsports.com, which also said any trade hinges on Moss signing a contract extension with Minnesota. The Boston Herald said via Twitter Moss' agent, Joel Segal, asked the Patriots to trade Moss after Week 1.

Manny Ramirez has been traded to the LA Dodgers, where he can spend his evenings commiserating with the rest of the 2004 Red Sox over the front office shenanigans that brought them to the west coast.
It looks like the Manny Ramirez trade is dead. The latest news has the deal stalled over the Pirates' concerns that they were the pegboy of the Pittsburgh Three-Way. And Bostonist can't help but agree with them. The deal has the Pirates trading away an All-Star caliber left fielder with a monster on base percentage for a bag of magic beans. Insiders also claim that some in the Red Sox front office weren't really down with the deal anyway. But, with all this acrimony and hype, can everything just go back to normal? Surely, that is not how baseball is played.
