From ESPN's mailbag
¢ I was doing some digging for the recruiting book and I came across a column from 2000 about Pete Carroll getting hired at USC. (Back then USC fans weren't so thrilled with the choice of Carroll.) The writer, Lyle Spencer was making a case of how Carroll wasn't exactly like his predecessor Paul Hackett.
Spencer wrote about how New England RB Robert Edwards' devastating knee injury from a beach football game at the Pro Bowl ultimately made the Pats' offense to one-dimensional, and that was too much for Drew Bledsoe to handle. And at that point, something dawned on me: the course of both NFL and college football history may have been dramatically altered by one silly beach football game. Meaning if Robert Edwards doesn't blow out his knee in that silly Pro Bowl sideshow, maybe the Patriots don't completely flop the next year. Carroll doesn't get fired. He never gets to USC and Bill Belichick doesn't inherit the Patriots.
This makes you think
