Offseason

Don't you just love the offseason? To me, at least, some parts of the offseason are more interesting than the regular season. Well, early regular season, that is. RevanFan (talk) 22:19, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It can be exciting, but probably more so when your team isn't in the playoffs. Pats1 T/C 22:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My team certainly isn't. We sucked this year. Well, we weren't as bad with Garrett, but still bad enough. Your team, on the other hand, may make the Super Bowl (in fact, I'm predicting them to win.) RevanFan (talk) 23:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Offseason is great. Brings hope after your team sucks.►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:15, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is the only source, and it is just speculation. Wait until an official announcement from Patriots. 71.233.89.24 (talk) 00:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No.►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still pure speculation, and this is why no one looks at Wiki as a credible source. Until it's announced by the team, it's JUST speculation and rumors, and putting rumors on the site is stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.89.24 (talk) 01:02, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1) It's not "speculation" or a "rumor," it's a media report. 2) It may never announced by the team, and it doesn't have to be. The Raiders never announce transactions; that doesn't mean they didn't happen. See WP:V. In fact, third party sources -- the media -- are preferred over first-party sources like teams. 3) Then why do you edit Wikipedia? Pats1 T/C 01:04, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Articles should be based largely on reliable secondary sources. While primary sources are normally welcome, there are dangers in relying on them." That is what it says on the page you linked me to, seems that you are directly breaking that rule, there is only ONE source on ESPN and that is based off of RUMORS and SPECULATION. 71.233.89.24 (talk) 01:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
