Really interesting article from Coby Fleener talking about the NFL rookie symposium. Good to see the Patriots dominating in the "challenge" component of the event too! And sure enough, it comes with an asterisk!

----
After dinner, the "Challenge" results were announced. I have to say that while I was suspicious as to how the Browns got their answers in so quickly, I was equally skeptical of the Patriots' dominance throughout the competition. Either way, I was probably just being a sore loser.

Congratulations to the following:
5th: Pittsburgh Steelers
4th: Jacksonville Jaguars
3rd: Cleveland Browns*
2nd: San Diego Chargers
1st: New England Patriots*

(* Further investigation pending)

I thought being a sore loser and a colt is the same thing.

Good article. Sounds like a smart guy. (Masters degree from Stanford is suggestive of that too.)

Imagine if Gronk had tried to write such a column ...

Gronk would have posted a video. Haha. In all seriousness, it's amazing to hear of gronk's records in canton and realize he's only finished year 2. It's nice to have a first ballot HOF in Tom Brady once in a decade but to have 2 (if stay healthy) in the same offense is special.

Article is a great read, Cambridge Person. Glad the NFL puts some serious effort into helping these kids get their heads on straight.

I think it's the third or fourth time the Pats rookies have won.

I suppose he thinks he is being funny. It seems to me that he is a natural-born Colt, i.e., already a turd.
