Doing Business

I'm trying not to panic. Really I am.

Early Mockery

Hey, it's not like I've got the answers but I do have plenty of questions…

While Contemplating the Six Feet of Snow in my Front Yard

Waiting. Waiting for Revis. Waiting. Waiting for the Wells Report on Deflategate. Waiting. Waiting for updates to mock drafts. Wondering why the mockers project players who don't fit the Patriots' profile of positional flexibility and short area quickness. You know you're getting it wrong again this year, don't you?

Risky Biscuits

Imagine for a moment you're Bill Belichick. Steady. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the sudden rush of power. You may feel a little lightheaded for a moment or two. Okay? It's Day 1 of the NFL Draft and you're on the clock with the 32nd pick. Dorial Green-Beckham is still available…

Perception

Recent posts by Greg Doyel and Ron Borges should give any reasonable person cause to step back and examine their own perceptions, assumptions and beliefs when it comes to Deflategate.

Not that I'm claiming to be a reasonable person.

Replacement Parts

Shane Vereen wants $5m a year. The Patriots are interviewing placekickers at the Combine. Everybody's trying to talk themselves into believing Dorial Green-Beckham is the second coming of Calvin Johnson. It's time for hope. Reason will have to wait.

Integrity

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

So, I guess we know, now. I'd wondered aloud if Deflategate was a shockingly inept attempt to frame the Patriots or it was simply that the NFL is a clown car of ineptitude.

It’s both. It's definitely both.
