thanks jmt57...I know he posted it in a public forum, but I just wanted to be on the up-and-up smy

hey PWP - may I borrow this for our blog?? thanks shalise

Thanks all!! I am so excited for this opportunity and the new challenges that will come along with it. I've been at the Journal for a long time (15 years, starting as an intern at 17) and it is definitely time for something new!! I'm still tweeting - now I'll be @shalisemyoung And don't worry...

You're on the right track...Bob Kraft is on the committee that's trying to get the World Cup in the US in 2018 or 2022. If I were a betting woman, I'd wager that has quite a bit to do with this move - especially when you consider that the field they put down in '06 has a 10+ year life span...

I'm not sure on that. Will try to find out answer... smy

For those who asked: I know at least one player was nine minutes late -- arrived at 8:09 for 8:00 meeting... Also, yes Moss has been getting Wednesdays off from practice, but we still see him in the locker room on Wednesdays, so he is still taking part in meetings, etc. smy

Re: Projo: BB 'cursed' team out on video review of Colts game I think they are focused squarely on the Jets. I wouldn't worry about any kind of "hangover" because it is the Jets...I've been told some stories about how they were acting after they won their little Super Bowl in week 2, and...

You're correct - I don't write headlines, and was surprised that *that* is what a copy editor took from that item. My point was that they are turning the page and are back to work, but it's not my decision to make so... Re: Moss - you have to realize, there are no fewer than 50 people...

Re: Why Wilhite Didn't play Lol...no. I'm not sure why. Drives me nuts, though, to be honest with you. But to paraphrase TO, I just write the stories the way they tell me to ;)

Re: Why Wilhite Didn't play No...I don't think he was physically hurt that badly. I think it was more that he was shaken up. I asked him about it today and he didn't want to talk about it, which I more than understand.

Re: Why Wilhite Didn't play Hey guys -- It was Jonathan. As I've mentioned before, the ProJo doesn't let us use the phrase "according to a source," which is why the writing sometimes seems vague. Believe me, I cannot stand the rule, especially when it creates situations like this one...

Thanks for the love all! :D I've thought about that little draft weekend situation re: Crable. I'm trying to figure out what's going on but so far I haven't been able to find out what the deal is...

Hey all -- This is a very new policy...the way it was put to us is that a majority of other NFL teams don't allow live blogging/Tweeting from practice so the Pats decided to join the majority. They don't take our phones, but they do subscribe to all of our blogs/Twitter pages and I assume...

Thanks one and all for the responses. Once upon a time -- it was only a few years ago, but it seems like a lifetime -- blogging seemed like the way for newspaper reporters to keep up with the instant results given by espn and the like. I can only speak from my shop, but the Journal has tried...

If I could, I'd like to open a debate here based on some of the comments I've seen here and elsewhere because of this overblown twitter issue. I find it interesting that people are openly advocating for others to lose their jobs. Whether or not you believe that what we as sports reporters do...
