SMY article on Hobson
Of course, there's a rather obligatory IVPgate* mention, but not enough to worry about. Nevertheless, some SMY turns in an article worth reading:
Quote:
FOXBORO — When Victor Hobson got his first chance to become a free agent in the NFL, he got calls from other suitors, but made only one visit, to New England.
The 28-year-old linebacker, signed by the Patriots last month, joined the Pats from the New York Jets, enemy No. 1 for New England fans.
But Hobson wasn’t concerned with crossing over to the other side of the Border War. His decision was purely a business one — just like the Jets’ decision not to attempt to re-sign the former second-round pick after 343 tackles and 11 sacks over five seasons.

As a bonus, we get a few "quick kicks", with not one but two interesting tidbits:
Quote:
* Undrafted rookie punter Mike Dragosavich was booming punts with impressive hangtime.
* Reserve safety/special teamer Ray Ventrone was in a white (offense) jersey yesterday, and did some drills with the receivers.
|
I'm thrilled to hear that about Dragosavich; the one about Ventrone, though, borders on " Matt Slater, WTF, UCLA" territory.  [FWIW, though, some schools were recruiting him to play RB. . . .]
Edit: *IVP = Illegal Videotaping Procedure-gate. Thank you, Rich Eisen.
