Scott Pioli remains a Patriot

New England Patriots General Manager Scott Pioli has declined an opportunity to interview with the New York Giants. That is great news for us Patriots fans. Thank you, Mr. Pioli, for staying, and thank you Robert Kraft for keeping Mr. Pioli happy enough to stay with the team. I assume this means Head Coach Bill Belichick will also stay with the team, contrary to rumors that have been in the air this season.

If anything you'll question my sanity so please don't watch it. Seriously, don't. I know it's tempting to click that link but you'll lose five minutes of your life that you'll never get back.]
