Dante's return

[convertedpatsfan]

I know, I know, it's ESPN. But I think Reiss is great.

Dante Scarnecchia makes 'tough decision' to return to Patriots' staff

“It wasn’t like I was glued to it. If it was on, and I was in there, I’d watch it. Quite honestly, the night games, I ain’t making it past the second quarter,” he said Monday. “There’s no way -- starts too late and goes too long. I can’t do that.”​

FYI, we've got 5 night games in the regular season. Might need a backup if Dante goes to bed early.

But thrilled to have him back. Might be the most important free agent signing this year.

Also cracked up at this:

“But we talked about it, my wife and I, and decided that this would be a good thing on a lot of different levels -- as far as the grandkids being able to come to the game for free, and just be part of it all."​

Maybe just a slip, maybe reading too much into it, but the "free" part seems to indicate he's not ****ing paying that much for some tickets, are you kidding me???

Heck, if free tickets for his grandkids are what it takes to get Dante back coaching for us, I hope Kraft gives them a lifetime pass.

That has to be a red herring right? Dante and his family needed to pay to watch games in Foxboro? Not even Kraft can be that greedy..

As his retirement gift, Bob did give Dante the free lifetime membership to the "Jelly of the Month" club

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I saw Dante walking down the field one day, many years ago and this was a little guy taking big steps, talking with a big voice. When I saw that, I thought "This is a big man trapped in a small body."

This guy knows exactly how big men move, feel, think, and see the field. I expect nothing less than a radical transformation of the OL. He coaches techniques specific to each big man, and puts them in a position to excel, unlike Goog, and you'll remember how hard it was for Solder to adapt to Goog's techniques; ended up with some bad habits, focusing too much on pad level, than launching from optimal preset.

I read the article and thought that Scarnecchia was yanking Reiss' chain and Reiss was playing along...either that or he was lobbying for a La-Z-Boy on the sidelines during night games...

If the Pats keep winning "Jelly of the Month" will refer to Bob Kraft's response to the latest NFL* charges against the Pats.

That's the gift that keeps on giving all year long.

On another show he reminded me of old Clint Eastwood.
He reminded me that great guys are still around ...

That might be the GoAT of comical holiday movies. A Christmas Story might be a close 2nd.

The Patriots Brass should have couple of Learners behind him learning all they can from one of the best.

Impossible. Written words are literal translations of the speaker's intention; if it was a joke or a bribe request, he would have explicitly stated so.

Or at least this time stick with the plan and don't make the guy who was shadowing Dante suddenly a TE coach like 3 years ago. Like you said.. just put multiple people there and let them absorb everything. But am not sure if Kraft would be able to survive the financial hit of multiple coaches earning a few thousand dollars a month.

I'll pay for the espressos for night games to keep him awake...

Didn't realize how little he was... until I saw this...

Dante's Return sounds like a low budget horror flick.

IIRC there was a volcano movie named, "Dantes Peak". with Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan.

Let's not forget Dante's Inferno.

Almost didn't write my joke because of the horror our oline went thru last year.
