Highlights per Reiss:
*Talk to Deion and heard what a great organization it is
*Substance issue was a "situation a couple of years ago"
*relationship fine with Washington

Sounds like he answered most of the questions everyone had about him. Let's just hope he answers the injury question just as well.

Well he's saying the right things and I like the fact that he did his homework on the organization with players who have actually played or are currently playing for this team.

It's amazing how many players are in touch with others. I never would've guessed that he and Brady have been talking on and off since 2004.

It was also nice to hear Deion doesn't hold anything against the team after what happened last year and gave Stallworth glowing reports about the organization when asked.

Is it just me or are the answers that each of these players give to questions more or less the same whoever they are?

"Came here to win..."

"Good to play with Brady, be coached by Belichick etc"

"Am good team player with good work ethic..."

"Sun rises in the east, sets in the west..."

Aside from the little insight into the players he spoke to, there's very little of real interest in this.

I wonder if Deion thinks a little more highly of NE after having spent a year in ANOTHER organization?

Yep.. he, like others before him, have learned that the grass is not greener on the other side... maybe the money is, but not the grass

Hmmm, I wonder what Ricky William's comment on that would be ...

I would probably give plain vanilla answers too. The instant an athlete says anything short of cliches, it becomes a 10 minutes segment on ESPN, the statement gets analyzed every which way so that it can be argued that it was somehow offensive, every other coach in the league pours through it to see whether there is something they can magnify into bulletin board material, and the finest on this board and boards just like it all across the NFL start ripping it apart to claim that their team is just SO disrespected.

It's not the athletes' fault. It's ours. For making mountains out of molehills and for continuing to watch, listen to and tolerate ESPN's national enquirer style and talk radio insanity.

Lance Briggs actually gave some real answers yesterday on ESPN, and look what's all over talk radio today?

Look for a stamp on their forehead, or X-Ray for a microchip in the brain.

Stallworth and Washington go sky-diving together???

By the way, it sounds almost as if Stallworth deliberately talked to supposedly disgruntled ex-Pats -- Law and Branch. Or, more precisely, to guys who turned down big contracts from the Pats.

Sounds like solid due diligence, actually.

Fanfrom1960

It is, but I wonder what he was thinking he might hear?

Cliques on the team?

Belichick a sadist?

Brady a prima donna?

Of course, before anyone jumps on me, these are all tongue-in-cheek.
