If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

IF this is the quality of officiating we have to look forward to, I’m not optimistic for the season.

Naw.

There’s really just not much to say. I can’t decide if there’s a method here, and we’re playing pretty vanilla and evaluating packages; or the guys who are in there are just not very good; or the guys who are in there are just trying to make it through the game without getting hurt; or we’re actually going to be terrible this year; or some combination of the above.

BB seems pretty placid,

Always a good idea

to stand around with your arms in the air when your defender intercepts a pass and the whistle hasn’t blown. Then to get jacked by the other guy, cause you’re standing around like a dope.

Might be your last day as a Patriot, Stupar.

When he left, did you say

“You don’t know how good you kids have it these days! Why, in my day, we had to walk up hill both ways in the snow just to see a game—if we were lucky! I myself used to have to stand on our roof in the middle of blizzards with the antenna in my hands while my dad yelled, ‘EAST! No — EAST! Or no dinner until halftime!’ And then we’d lose! Every day!”

Chad is deep in my doghouse. He runs lazy, undisciplined routes and generally acts like he’s owed a slot, while guys like CJ Jones work their asses off every second on the field.
