Scott,
I’m not anybody and I’m not looking for an argument I was just asking who ran that site. I’m not a blog-savvy techie just a fan of this site and I visit yours on a semi-rgular basis and I thought that you were an official site…I apologize for the confusion and didn’t mean to stir anything up.

My point about the images (logo and SB rings…) is because with the restrictions these days on copyrights and trademarks for professional teams I was under the impression you were affiliated with the organization and/or needed permission to use them. No disrespect intended.

And Lance…lighten up.

Ed, if you’ve got a question for me, write me an e-mail and don’t come running to this site. The address is right at the top of the post. And by the way, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

Ed,

May I suggest using an obscure on-line tool known as “Google” and if you’re naive enough to be confused by an obvious fan site that makes no claim to be official then maybe you’ll want to consider supporting another team. Just a guess but I’m betting the “Big” in your handle isn’t about IQ.

What “Official Patriots Images” are you talking about?

Who the Hell is Scott Benson and why do the Patriot’s allow him to use any official Patriot images on his site?

I thought that was a team site but after that post I realize how wrong I was.

Casale is a pathetic human being and I felt that way after his patsfans.com incident. This just solidifies it. Not only does he burn the team but his former coworkers as well. A sad, pathetic, lowlife.

Thanks for the info DV, but the Patriots Daily site appears to be down at the moment. Coincidence?

This is exactly the same guy…

He basically says that Bruschi is not the guy that the fans think he is. Also TB is disliked by all of his teammates.

The best stuff comes from the posts in the “Comments” of the piece. An unnamed PFW writer bombs back with this comment…

“This is, indeed, Tom Casale. I worked with him [Casale] for 2 years and he was universally disliked around the office. We all wondered from the very start what Fred saw in him and why he was given such a long rope after his indiscretions online. The patsfans ordeal was surreal. He used multiple aliases to, among other things, denigrate his colleagues that he worked closest with. Btw, I have alot more bullets in the gun. I haven’t even mentioned the events surrounding his dismissal. It’s very embarrassing. You can probably imagine when you consider how much they put up with him prior to firing him. — posted by PFW Insider on 07/30/2008 1:10 PM”

Scott Benson on Patriots Daily does a great job explaining who Casale really is.

Is this the same Tom Casale who last year posted comments on some football message board under an alias username and then later confessed who he was after he got called out by another board member? Are we supposed to take this guy at face value?

Since I currently can’t access the AA site, what exactly does Casale say about Bruschi and the Pats?
