Why would you insult Gronk like that?

Yeah and butler himself seems to get it, I don't understand what the big deal is. 10 years ago before Twitter existed i doubt this is even a storyBB is just communicating the truth. If you are lucky enough to play in the NFL (and especially for the Patriots) for a small fraction of your life, you should be 100% appreciative of the chance you're given during that short span.
Early is on time, on time is late, and late is a no go. Weather comes into play in getting to any job. Anyone who believes BB should cut players slack for being late doesn't know the dedication it takes to truly be great at something.
May 25 and May 26 are two different days. And you can stand by your erroneous claim all you want. It's a foolish claim. Do you think people needed to keep their appointments during the snowstorms all this winter, when mayors were asking people to stay home?
I would hope not.
Yeah let's stir up more crap.Doug Kyed@DougKyedNESN
That's a good question.

@DougKyedNESN @MikeGiardi how can u be punished for something that isn't mandatory?
Is this an issue for the NFLPA?
I don't get Belichick sometime. Does making what may be the Pats' starting LCB going into his second year miss three weeks of valuable offseason reps worth it to make a point to punish him for missing a flight?
BB knows what he has in Butler, hence the punishment. It is important that he is mature enough to be relyed on. He could have driven to another city with Flights out.
Find a way, Gronk with his crazy off season is where he should be, when he should be.
Glad he was doing the film work and weights. He is important to the team this year.
of course

Per source, the NFLPA is indeed looking into potential violation of CBA Article 21, Section 5(a) by the Patriots -- re: Malcolm Butler.

Defend as you like, fact is better planning gets him where the other 89 were.
He didn't ban him for three weeks, he was there the whole time in meetings watching film, lifting and going through other workouts. He held him out of 3 weeks of practice, which sounds like a lot but it was a total of 6 ota sessions. Butler seems to have been taking it in stride and understands what he has to do.Bill. You're the greatest without a doubt. But this is ridiculous. Get off your high horse here. 3 weeks over being tardy due to something Butler couldn't even control? Without this guy we would not even have won ring #4 for the record. So you ban him for three weeks?
If there's something I missed then please point it out if there's another reason to this. Bill is the GOAT arguably we all know that. But I don't like seeing young potential guys get their hopes of opportunity dashed over being tardy one time.
doesn't matter now...ESPN has blown this story up into another frontal assault on the Patriots and BB...see how easily they get our fans to go ballistic on our team for discipline decisions in June minicamp? "Don't look at the obvious raping and pillaging of YOUR team by Goodell Crime Inc. ,stupid Pats fans....look over HERE instead!! THIS is really really bad!!! You all should go crazy tearing away at your coach...Lord Roger Be Praised..we are not worthy...."
right...and THIS shyt is basically a mouse turd blown up into a Triceratops dung heap. The kid was disciplined at a mini-camp. Call me up when it's REAL camp or preseason games, otherwise, I'll just chalk it up to Grumpy Cat being grumpy , as usual.
My point is, as everyone is scope locked on this "travesty", the Goon, his fat gimp Simp and the rest of the NFL offices are getting a reprieve from the press over this reprehensible dog and pony show being played out for what's going on 4 months now.
of course

How do you miss a flight due to weather in the middle of summer?
Sorry coach, it was just too rainy for me to make it to the airport on time.

Disagree about the importance of those reps. Obviously BB does also.
Consider, this gives other players those reps. Players new to the team. They need to learn, coaches need to see them and evaluate them. They already know what Butler can do, and did.
If anything, I'd take this as a vote of confidence in Butler as a CB, it says the importance of getting his head straight is greater than the need to practice his physical skills. Reports sound like he's taking it the right way, so no problem. It'll certainly send a message to the newcomers about being prima donnas. Too bad Spikes didn't get the memo.
