You really shouldn't be driving with the aid of binoculars... If he was grinning it was because he realized he was prioritizing his donut over doing his job.

On the highway, park in one of those cut through turn arounds. He was about 15 feet away when I went by.

Shannon Sharpe Uncorks Laughable Take About Tom Brady's Super Bowl Run - NESN.com

I agree with Sharpe on this

 

[Yankee Traveler]

But agents are reaching out now to get the road cleared. How the hell do you think 36 free agents get signed within a half hour of the season starting??

Not by publicizing contact during the no tamper zone.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Still does not answer the question. I understand agents cannot talk to players we all get that but nowhere does it say agents cant talk to agents.

So agent A talks to agents B about player A. Then Agent A talks to his player Player A. Then Agent A calls Agent B. Nowhere did Agent B and PLayer A ever talk.

Agent A talks to Agent B, Agent A talks to Player A.
Team A talks to Player A.
Nope, Team B is going to offer me more on March 17th.

That's tampering.

"Team B likes the color of my eyes" is also tampering (yes I'm exaggerating). Giving a player any notion you are in the market for him is tampering. With drones so common, BB can't even accidently pee "Davis" into the snow without it being tampering.

I got up this morning and took a likeness of a Wentz. Is that tampering?

Only if you took it into the bathroom.

No.
But it is either gay or disappointingly wrong.

BB, is that really you?

If BB were to pee a likeness of Wentz it wouldn't count since he was only doing it so later he could go back and pee on that...

Some interesting reading if you don't have anything more exciting to do.

Domino effect with Sam Darnold could affect Patriots' QB plans

If the Jets decide to trade their starter, it could jump-start the quarterback movement that many NFL analysts anticipate this offseason.

I'm so tired of seeing those articles (again, not saying you should stop posting what you want). There are just too many wild cards.

I prewarned you. I said "If you don't have something more exciting to do."

If you read it and didn't like, take it up with the author.

I made it clear that's the object of my comment

I don't have anything better until the draft.




You know what I like about March Madness?

April.

 

[BigKen]

The NFL and NFLPA announced this morning that the 2021 MINIMUM floor of the salary cap will be $180,000,000.

The 2020 revenues have not been officially determined, but the cap floor has been risen by $5,000,000 effective today to give teams at least a known lowest number. It's possible that the cap could be moved up.

Questions to you all......

Should the Patriots go "All-In" on defense with the draft and free agency and restructure the DL and solidify the LB corps (BB's true strength) and then do what they can to rebuild the offense? I guess what I'm saying is, should they have an awesome defense and a mediocre offense?

Score 21-28 points a game but only give up 10-17 and win 11-12 games and maybe have us all chewing our nails through half of the season?

Thoughts??

I think we all have considered it.
Ravens did it back in the Dilfer days.
Problem as I see it, we have a problem scoring that many points.
We'd be in any game but defense would get tired of being on the field 70 percent of time.

The best defense is an offense that's winning field position and time of possession.....
