37 Pairs of Shoes Drop

Always One More Shoe

The final 53 is set. For now.

53 for Now

Random thoughts as the Patriots prepare to fill out their practice squad and figure out whether or not to sign a long-snapper or cut their punter and place-kicker.

The First Configuration

The dust won’t settle for a few days. New England will get down to the 53-man roster by 4:00pm but there will be more to come in the next few days. The Patriots aren’t the only team making difficult decisions about the end of the roster.

One of these guys is going to have a career in the NFL. They just may not have that career in Foxborough.

Pigskin Pfutures

The countdown to opening day has begun. Training camps are starting this week. Soon I’ll be able to stop watching the Red Sox trying to convince me that 2013 never happened or watch as Kevin Love signs with someone other than the Celtics, like that was ever going to happen. Instead, I can focus my workday coffee breaks musing on the pigskin fantasy of Andre Johnson catching passes from Tom Terrific.

Like that’s ever going to happen.

Moving and Shaking

All the haters who were worried about Tim Tebow taking up a valuable roster spot that could’ve been used on another player who – though unlikely to contribute from roster spot #53 – might have upside, must be scratching their heads today as the New England roster sits at 51.
