I'm sure Heath Evans has put away a couple of Dunkin' Donuts away in that muscle around his waist line. It's got everything to do with that during the offseason he doesn't experience a withdrawl from one of his cravings.

I thought it was funny when the article mentioned a 'slimmed down' version of the media guide,then talked about Heath Evans as a 'Dunkin Donuts' entreprenuer

Both 'Slimmed Down' and 'Dunkin Donuts' referrals should NEVER be in the same paragraph

"Right now, I'm just trying to fit in, listen to the coaches, feed off their feedback and take every play for what it is," he said.

I wonder whether some agents run their clients thru a mini-course
in Pats-speak, the official language of One Patriot Place?

Do the position coaches also coach them on how to do interviews?

Or does the front office simply filter for this kind of thinking
in those it acquires?

I was thinking the same thing.

And then I wondered: what if they were drafted by a different team. Is there a Jets-speak or a Dolphins-speak? What would it sound like?

"I gave up my cravings for Dunkin Donuts and now i've slimmed down" <-- this works

Lets hope Dolphins speak sounds nothing like Aqua or Feel the Pain.

I feared it was something like: "I'm thrilled to be on a team that is going to win the division and go deep into the playoffs ..."

I used to think it was answer "B.", but now I think its mostly: "C."

I'm starting to wonder about this Lua kid. Sounds intelligent. Has good athletic skills. If he can kick butt on ST, he might make the practice squad.
