Rodney Harrison, Corey Dillon, Randy Moss, and some others have been team superstars that were proven on other teams, but chose to join the Patriots to win a Super Bowl ring at a fair price. Rodney, who was known as, and was recently voted again, the most dirtiest player in the league, first had a serious conversation with Bill Belichick, the coach of the Patriots, at the 1999 Pro Bowl, where Belichick was head coach of the AFC team. Harrison was released from the Chargers even though he had won a couple of Pro Bowl honors in the previous years. Corey Dillon wanted out of the Bengals. Like Harrison, he had a terrible reputation, probably of any running back. He had won three Pro Bowl honors in the previous years. Randy Moss wanted out of the Vikings. He also had the worst reputation, probably of any wide receiver. He had won five Pro Bowl honors (!) in the previous years. So all of these players, considered to be the whiniest or dirtiest superstars in the league in their position by their own teammates and other teams, each agreed to join the Patriots for a fair price--and have not caused problems once they were on a team that valued winning. The Patriots did draft a lot of their players, but that just proves my point that they did not waste money on the top college players in the draft, but traded their top picks to other teams for multiple picks. When they wanted proven talent, they got it via players who wanted out of their current situation in other teams, like those three. I guess the startup lesson here is to focus the entire team on winning over customers and fixing problems, and super stars who make a lot of money but are discontent with their peers at their current endeavors will want to join you, for less money, to help create something amazing together. Oh, and make sure you also have Tom Brady, apparently. My goal was to provide some football-related (article-related) motivation. You guys are right about what I said regarding the Patriots being the smartest team--I haven't been able to find any article to confirm what I had thought I read at one point. Thanks for replying!
