It is a free roster spot being used for a position of need....

I like it....

Thee free roster spot is on the practice squad, and not eligible for promotion to the 53.

 

[Simpelton]

At that size, if the TE thing doesn't work out you could try him on the offensive line.

 

[RobertWeathers]

6-5 285 FB....

Christ if this guy was lead blocking Sony could walk, maybe even stroll to the goal line.

 

[PatsDeb]

Hopefully he is not a dummkopf and can help the team out!

Devlin does that already.

[Pat the Pats Fan]

tight end, full back, edge rusher....interesting.
if he goes on practice squad, is it as the 11th member, or could someone else be designated the 11th member?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Devlin does that already.

...and he does it well.

In the Rocky GOAT rankings, does Rocky 4 go before or after Rocky I?

EDIT: In no way do I think Rocky 4 is better than Rocky 1. I meant to say Rocky II

I think Rocky 4 is a better movie than Rocky 2. I'm tempted to put Rocky 3 ahead of Rocky 4. They are about equal.

Rocky
Rocky 3
Rocky 4
Rocky 2
Rocky Balboa
Rocky 5

Toll, ich hoffe, er kann das Spielbuch lernen und wird ein Mitwirkender zu einem anderen Pats Superbowl gewinnen

Are we getting these guys as new announcers too?

German announcers call Patriots huge block that springs Edelman free for 77-yard TD

4 is horrible. I then III. III was an amazing adrenaline rush for 17 year old me. Alas, it doesn't stand the test of time well, only because it became so cliche. The best thing about 4 is the training montage. Beyond that, it's terrible. 5 is worse. I haven't seen Balboa yet. So, with that, I will rank 'em
I
III
II
IV
V
with an not rated to Balboa.

 

[Dingleberry]

Rocky I - definitely the top
Rocky Balboa - great movie. Very similar in mood to the first one
Rocky III - Mr. T before he jumped the shark. Hulk Hogan before he was really Hulk Hogan. Love it.
Rocky II - awesome first act and final act. Both surrounding Rocky moping about Adrian being in a coma for an hour.
Rocky IV - top notch training montage in the USSR. Pure 80's cheese. Good stuff.
Rocky V - it's like the game in Miami this past season...it doesn't really count.

I dunna know. I liked 4. A bit high on the cheeseball factor but entertaining. I was a teenager as well when it came out. Maybe I'm being nostalgic.

I still quote Clubber Lang to this day.

I find 2 boring. I wish I didn't but I do.

5 is pathetic.

I think "Rocky Balboa" is decent. Its a good transition to what Rocky in the Creed films is now.

I liked Creed a lot. Creed 2 was ok.

I think they go in order 1-4. Throw out 5 and Balboa but Creed and Creed II were pretty good. Creed was actually excellent and Creed II wasn't great but I liked the end.

 

[TB_Helmet]

This signing is the most Patriots thing ever. Guarantee he makes some key plays in a divisional round game or something.

"Creed" was a fantastic surprise.
