In recent years, the Patriots have had the good fortune of playing in the AFC East, one of the least competitive divisions in football.
But something changed last season.

The Miami Dolphins turned their abysmal 2007 season into an 11-5 2008 campaign that crowned them AFC East Champions for the first time since 2000.

The New York Jets made the biggest splash in the 2008 offseason by signing Quarterback Brett Favre, who led them to an 8-3 start, only to see them wither down the stretch, missing out on a playoff spot in Week 17.
The Buffalo Bills shocked most people by starting the season 5-1 before predictably bungling the rest of the season and finishing 7-9 in the process.

All three division foes have made significant changes and roster upgrades that could potentially serve as speed bumps on the Patriots road back to the playoffs. Here is a breakdown of the other three AFC East teams, starting with the 2008 AFC East Champions, the Miami Dolphins:..................

i cant ****ing believe this.
farve getting a new job is a bigger splash then anything in the division? thats bigger then the dolphins going from 1-15 to 11-5. thats bigger then the jets AND FARVE missing out on the playoffs because the dolphins beat the jets, in new york, week 17 with the man the jets discarded for farve.

all of this and more was overshadowed by the story of farve getting a new team. sad thing is that this is true for media coverage. farve going to new york may have been a big story at the begining of the season. but it certainly doesnt trump anything and everything that happened in the season.

this is just like the other day. i wanted to see what was going on with sportscenter but apparently the rest of the sports world took teh day off because the almighty farve was rumored to be in talks with minnesota. not even a deal or a meeting. just rumors of talks on the phone. this "coverage" went on for more then 5 minutes. i gave up and turned it off. **** farve. and **** the fact that nothing else gets done with there is a farve story to talk about.

It was written by a fan, not a globe reporter, or a reporter at all, unless he failed to put that in his bio, which indicates he's a recent college grad and works for a sports marketing firm.
