I'm not one to post calling out a message-board in general -- but c'mon.

If a professional football player wants to spend time with his kids rather than make the locale of his daily workouts be Foxboro, that's his privilege.

And if he and his wife choose to raise their kids in some other city than the one where he's on the team, that's their privilege too.

I come from a small family, without strong geographical roots. But even I was separated from my father for a year or so twice, due to his work. If somebody has a lot of extended family and a travel-heavy job, it might make a lot of sense to leave his wife and kids in the area where the family is.

I'm happy for wazza to work out at home as long as he reaches a high level of fitness before tc begins.

He is a vet he knows how it all works

They just better be there for the required parts of the job.

It IS a job. We keep hearing how it's 'just a business'. Then they're the employees. And they better show up. Or else get fired.

Go PATRIOTS!

The voluntary OTAs are more for the players with less then 3 years experience. The older veterans know the drill and in fact the Pats can work with them so they can "work from home". Most of it is just weight room and film study.

He should be there. I wish everyone would stop making excuses for him. yeah... he has kids... BIG DEAL. So do a lot of other guys. Symbolism is very important in a young locker room.

PATSYLICIOUS

Families? They're allowed to have FAMILIES now?? I have to question their devotion to our beloved franchise

Yeah, except for the part where they get to retire before they're 40, a luxury many do not have.

Their offseason is months long. Again, a luxury most do not have.

They get paid millions of dollars and can afford to fly out to their kids as often as they like or bring them there. Yet again, this is a luxury most do not have.

So spare me the sob stories. These guys get to spend more time with their families during their career and after than just about anyone else in this country.
