Pats sign Ballard off waivers

Hadn't heard about this until last night. Pretty hilarious. Can't believe the Giants waived him with the current roster limit. Granted he's almost certainly out the whole year, but he's an above average all-around TE.

Yeah, the Giants are again talking about those "unwritten rules". Maybe between this one and the unwritten "no salary cap, but there is one" stuff they should go ahead and write them down.

NE was hosed by the Vikes a few years ago like this, now they are just passing the favor along.

Risky move by the Giants, and the Patriots get richer. Gronk, Hernandez and Ballard in 2013 will make teams hate life. Might see a lot of trips TE packages.
