Consider me the saddest.

I'm callin' BS on that, you can't be 'the saddest' cause we all know the saddest thing around here is showtime15

 

[jimnance]

Agree.

The only thing that mildly concerns me with the staff picks is there isn't anyone who has worked with Josh before. Might not be a bad thing either....

I was thrilled to hear about what Josh did last year, spending time working with KC among others, both pro and college teams.
He has expanded his offensive repertoire.
Can't wait to see it. But we need some players on ol and wr.
Most anticipated Pats season in years.

Who?

 

[maust]

Who?

The BS artist formerly known as mac10 and before that Tommy Brady 12, the troll who pretended to be an 'upper crust' college kid here for 16 years. He got outed and now he's reduced to occasional trolling via reactions emojis. That's as sad as it gets here

Vrabel needs to go have a “ talk” with him. Make him an offer “he can’t refuse.”

These are the minority coaches on Vrabel's 2025-2026 staff:

Thomas Brown (TE/Passing Coordinator. Former interim HC)
Ashton Grant (QB coach)
Tony Dews (RB coach)
Chuckie Keeton (Offensive assistant)
Terrell Williams (DC)
Scott Booker (Safeties coach)
Justin Hamilton (CB coach)
Clinton McMillan (D-Line coach)
Kevin Richardson (Defensive assistant)
Milton Patterson (Defensive assistant)

If any of these guys ends up being a head coach, we will get a comp 3rd round pick in two consecutive years.

Alonzo Highsmith is the only minority in our front office. If we lose one of our coaches (to be a HC) AND Highsmith (to be GM), we then get a 3rd round comp pick for three consecutive years.

Hmmmm....

I like it...McDaniels will be around to provide continuity...and we can get comp 3rds if any of these guys lands a HC/GM job.

With the recent news about the removal/de-emphasizing of the "End Racism" slogan, I'm thinking these Rooney rule related policies are about to go the way of the dodo.

“[O’Brien] has informed the world that you’re going to be consulting with the New England Patriots next season,” said WEEI’s Greg Hill. “Can you talk about that, or not?”

“It’s not true,” Scarnecchia said matter-of-factly.

I believe this is for Mrs. Scar's consumption.

Irrelevance and impotence. I rest my case, he's the saddest thing here

Personally I come here to talk Patriots agree with some views disagree with come views, but we all are fans of the same team we all want respect and a winning team we can be proud of. Some of us are more emotionally involved than others I am that type of fan. I want to know who’s opening the doors for the players in the morning. And who picks out their cleats, but I’m a psycho.
That being said I don’t have a problem nor a love for any poster on this online board what someone says about my views and I’m sure vice versa wont hit my bank account.

That being said Go Patriots and we are all Patriot Fans.

I will not be happy until I am the saddest thing to slap a keyboard on this forum.

Hopefully not before we can finagle a couple of comp 3rds…..

Seven months later ...

So:
not being the saddest will make you sad.
Thus, the farther you are from saddest the sadder you will be.
Until not being sad will make you the saddest you can be.

Did I get that right?

Really? Wow. I never noticed.

Kraft had nothing to do with it. It was Vrabel’s choice all along. Hell, it was rumored before Vrabel was even hired that he was interested in Mcdaniels. The fact that people think Vrabel is the type of guy to let someone else choose his OC blows my ****ing mind. Vrabel is either THE guy, or he isn’t. Which is it folks?

What the heck are you talking about? Kraft is quoted saying "It was his [meaning Vrabel's} decision" right in Graff's tweet. There's nothing there even remotely implying it was anyone's choice but Vrabel's

I’m sure that put it over the top for Kraft.
He’s always loved Josh.

I have no doubt Krafty Bob was thrilled with Vrabel's choice. McDaniels is one of 'his' guys for sure, evidenced not just by his high praise but the high value of Josh's contract after walking away from the Dolts. Talk is cheap, nothin' says love like a big fat.. contract.
