A Dramatic History of the AFC East

The Patriots aren’t making a whole lot of news lately.  Choosing to simply lay low until this whole Spygate controversy blows over, the Pats have been fairly quiet in their offseason moves - a situation in stark contrast to their big buys from last year.  With very few moves happening within the Patriots organization, we are forced to look in less obvious places for some Patriots’ stories.  This particular tidbit comes from ESPN.com’s Page 2, where Thomas Neumann has put together a very entertaining history of the AFC East.

Any longtime fan of the Patriots will remember many of these of incidents.  Whether you’re remembering the Bill Parcells defection from Patriots to Jets after the Super Bowl in 1997 or you’re reminiscing about Bill Belichick quitting the Jets only to sign with the Patriots, you certainly don’t have to look far to see how much bad blood exists within this division.  With all the moves the Jets have made this offseason, they should be more competitive in 2008, as should the Bills.  And I hear the Dolphins just hired that Parcells guy to rebuild their team.  Looks like things are going to be getting very interesting again in the AFC East very soon.
