i totally thought he was cosplaying Tintin, like I could not come up with a reason for why he was looking like that otherwise

i can't wait to see what he dresses like once he's retired

patriots beat writer tweeted this from bill's press conf:

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolin 1h
From last night:
Q: Easley’s not giving us any information on the knee injury on his conference call

Belichick: We’ll get the violins out

hahahahahaha

Can't believe they drafted Janeane Garafolo smh

she totally fills a need, though. she's projected to take over for belichick at post-game press conferences.

Would grill with

ppl who have figured out how to live

vince wilfork is without a doubt one of the greatest humans on planet earth

he is a great interior lineman, and more importantly he is a great man

<3 would eat wilfork ribs

just watched that like five times <3

it's semi maddening that there are so many genial, entertaining people on Boston sports teams that I hate to the fiber of my DNA

@AlbertBreer
Suffolk County DA laying out a case where the double murder started over Aaron Hernandez's drink being spilled.

holy shit

he supposedly tailed the dudes that bumped into him at the club, leaned out the window, said "what up now???!!" followed by a racial epithet, and then shot into the vehicle.

then told his friend "I think I got one in the head and one in the chest".

holy fucks

A certain Patriot has kept the local gravedigger around Boston pretty busy over the last couple years.

this seems as good a place as any for:

You get 10 Globe articles a month. Don’t waste one of them on Shaughnessy.

lol bill just spent like 5 minutes explaining the concept of preseason football to some reporter who asked a dumbass question about whether this game mattered more because they were playing against a playoff team.

first-name basis, eh

he's been in my life longer than several of my friends

aww + gross

lol

so garoppopolopolopolo looks great and the team pretty good in general I gather?

yeah i try to pay no attention to preseason but vibes are good.

i did see jimmy g's td throw last night, he made a super subtle adjustment to avoid the rush and stuck the throw to the fb.

reading an article on the patriots news blog about perceptions of ridley after mike reiss left him off his latest depth chart guess (altho i think reiss was implying they would look to trade him rather than cut him). article itself not illuminating: notes few long runs, glosses over 4.6 YPC, confirms he fumbles a lot.

then first two comments
#1 bring back bjge
#2 swap ridley for lg blount

...

people love big slow rbs

its good because they run downhill which everyone knows is better than other directions

i'm pretty sure this is a film about what directions you're supposed to run in.

rb hof

nowadays, most football stadia are built on a slant, and you have to have a rb who can take advantage of that for 2 quarters.

idk how much ilnfl patritos gang members have been keeping up with the east of the afc east this preseason but i keep seeing report on top of report that ej manual and geno smith and historically, amazingly bad. i have a feeling that it could be a fun season ahead #nohubris

ej manual lol

lol at the mistakes in that post. ok, for clarity:

currently watching the ny jets edition of hard knocks and things are looking good for at least a superbowl appearance this season, harmony in the camp, momentum very much with them, sanchez ready to step up to that elite tier

the bills are going to be a complete disaster.

i thought geno was supposed to be doing ok? i don't pay much attention to camps so i am probably mistaken.

xp that was one of the seasons they reached the afc championship game with sanchez. would definitely be worth a look back. a rare time capsule of the jets not being in total disarray.

on geno i wouldn't rule out my being instinctively selective about the information i retain but as long as someone somewhere is trashing him i will rely on that authority

How much gas does Mankins have left in the tank? Is he gonna be a difference maker for the Bucs' line?

he's got something left, he'll be pretty good. he's just not one of the best three guards in football anymore.

i need to be careful with my thinking here but it seems like they've really found a player in jimmy g

need to cash brady in for a 4th round pick and a tight end before he loses his trade value
