Pats dominate ESPN's "All-Decade" rankings
For the past week, ESPN has put together lists of the top players, teams, moments, coaches, etc of the opening decade of the new millennium. What shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody with an impartial bone in their body, the Patriots dominate many of the lists due to their tremendous success this decade, including winning 3 Super Bowls in a 4-year span. These types of lists, of course, always carry their share of controversies and arguments over snubs and “How could you include that guy?” The following is a re-cap of where the Patriots fit into the lists as well as my Patriots “All-Decade” team for 2000 – 2010.

Patrick Chung and "A defensive genius like Bill Belichick"
Summer may be on its way (at least, that’s what we’re assured in perpetually rainy, 60-degree New England), but in football terms the fields lie fallow. Still, there have been a few items of note around the Patriot-sphere this week.
The most intriguing for me is the love for Patrick Chung. The Patriots rookie safety was listed among NFLDraft.com writher Rob Rang’s lineup of defensive rookie “diamonds in the rough”:
Get your lunch pail ready the Patriots are heading back to work
This week begins the New England Patriots mandatory mini-camp and expectation of the players coming back to work and win another championship now that Tom Brady is back.
As fans we can now learn more about the new free agents like cornerback veterans Leigh Bodden and Shawn Springs in the secondary as well as the ancient offensive determination of running back Fred Taylor and wide receiver Joey Galloway.
We should also learn more about who will replace Mike Vrabel as Pierre Woods and Shawn Crable will be seeing action to start at the opposite outside linebacker position of Adalius Thomas.
Its a very Brady world, but where is Wilfork?
Brady, Brady, Brady! If only I had a nickel for every time I have read or heard his name the past week!
Yes, Tom Terrific is back and seems to have a new view on football after being out for 2008. For those thinking the Patriots will be like 2007 and run the table going undefeated, I just say this…. slow it down!
I am excited that Brady is back and with the addition of Joey Galloway and Greg Lewis to replace Jabar Gaffney, the Patriots could be the pass (haha) several records in 2009.

Rodney Harrison retires
Today in a press conference, former Patriots safety and team leader Rodney Harrison announced his retirement from football. This will not be the last we see of Harrison as he is expected to join the NBC broadcast team. I look forward to hearing Rodney’s insight each week on NBC.
On a personal note, I will miss seeing #37 on the field in a Patriots uniform. Harrison was unquestionably a leader on the team and brought an attitude to the field that will be hard to replace.Tedy Bruschi mentioned that the team followed his example, which he called the “Rodney Harrison formula.”
Who's the NFL team of the decade?
Brad Gagnon at The Score put out an interesting challenge on his blog last week, calling on sports fans to answer, Who’s the team of the decade?
My answer is obvious, but not just for the reasons you might think.
Brad makes a great statistical case for the Patriots over at his place: they have won the most Super Bowls (3), are tied for the most conference titles (2), tied for the most division titles (6), have the best regular season record (102-42), and the best playoff record (14-3). They also own the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and before that, a streak of 21 consecutive regular-season wins, more than that if you count the playoff games in between.
