Steelers' wide receiver Mike Wallace did not shoot down the notion he could play in San Francisco or New England next season during an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio.

Per a report from Scott Isaacs, Executive Sports Producer at WCVB-TV in Boston, Tom Brady's personal quarterback coach, Tom Martinez, has died from a heart attack while undergoing kidney dialysis. He was 66 today.

Mike Vrabel says he'd come back to New England in a heart beat, but doesn't feel like they would want him. I'd sure love to bring him in for another year. He could contribute and help bring along any LB we (hopefully) draft this year. Would be great to see him retire as a Patriot too.

If the deal is signed, the 24-year-old Vollmer would be the fourth of New England’s 12 draft picks to agree to a contract — fellow second-round pick Darius Butler, fourth-round selection Rich Ohrnberger and sixth-round pick Myron Pryor are all reportedly in the fold.

Gang, take a few moments and head over to Stampede Blue. Stats guru, mgrex03, did a most excellent job breaking down 3rd/4th down conversions and how they relate to a team's success. Very well done!
