3 Totally Unrelated Questions

[dannydyn]

Morning there Patriots fellas!

I have 3 totally unrelated questions, but decided to create one thread instead of spamming the board with multiple threads:

1. What is that 'CHAMPIONS' towel-looking thing that Brady and I believe Gronk as well, had thrown over their shoulder? Is it a towel? Any idea if you can buy it?



2. On the Buttler interception: Had Butler picked the ball and took a knee in the end zone instead of leaping forward out of the end zone, wouldn't that put the Pats on the 20 yard line on the next snap?

3. Parade.... Anyone planning on going tomorrow? I'm thinking of going, but I live 3 hours away from Boston (I'm 35 minutes from Manhattan to be exact), and need some 411 on whether this is a good idea (especially since I'll need to take a day off of work). Namely best spot(s) to be at, parking situation, etc. I also understand they will not hold a rally this year due to the weather, which is a big drawback for me considering the distance I will be making. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

I believe that as long as he doesn't step out of the end zone and go back in, it's a touchback. If he steps out for the int and gets tackled in the end zone it's a safety.

Dannydyn - There is actually an entire thread devoted to your question.. Unfortunately, it was bumped down to page 3 due to a bunch of threads that have popped up since 6pm yesterday evening..

Thanks for the info!

I assume with regards to the touchback, the correct move was to just take a knee down in the end zone. But I can't blame him for instinctively trying to get out of there.

The first foot Butler touched down was outside the end zone. While he didn't control the ball until later than that, it would have been a crazy risk for him to go down in the end zone.
