New Patriots tight end Chris Baker held a conference call with media members today (4:30 p.m.) and here were a few nuggets of note:

1) Nothing like playoff action. Baker was asked if there was a game that stands out to him over his seven-year career, and he pointed to the 2004 playoffs -- when the Jets beat the Chargers, 20-17, in overtime, before falling to the Steelers, 20-17, in overtime. In signing with the Patriots, Baker said he hopes to be part of more playoff action. Baker also called last season's overtime win over the Patriots one of the most fun games in which he's played.

2) Patriots were the primary suitor. Baker said he did not take any other visits. The Patriots jumped out early in terms of their interest. "It was kind of a quick process," he said. "That's where I wanted to be."

3) From Brett Favre to Tom Brady. Asked if he's given any thought about going from one all-time great (Favre) to another (Brady), Baker said that has indeed crossed his mind. "That's a unique situation -- I can't imagine too many people have had the opportunity to do that," he said.

4) Pride in combination skills. When asked what he does best, Baker said he takes pride in being equally as effective as a blocker as he is a pass-catcher.

5) Always got up for the Patriots. Told he had more catches against the Patriots than any other team, Baker said he didn't realize that was the case. "I always got up a little more for that game, to be honest, because they were always the best team," he said.
