There's a decent point there. Entitlement and expectation no doubt play into it. Coming from Pom Pom Pete's entitled Hawks to The Hoodie's Do Your Job Pats had to be a serious culture shock. It's not all Belichick though. Between the lines as the leaders of the offense and defense Brady & Edelman, McCourty & Hightower are so intense 'fun' is a relative term, although you get the sense away from the game Edelman would be a riot to hang with and in some interviews McCourty shows signs mischievous wit. Off the top of my head guys as diverse as Light, Vrabes, Bruschi, McGinest, Harrison, Brown, Fauria, Andruzzi, Koppen, Hamilton, Seymour, Phifer, Rosie, Vince, D. Branch, Law, Patten, Izzo, Chatham, Wiggie, Paxton, Poole, Nink, Evans, Gaffney, Seau, Ventrone, Mayo, Slater, even Gronk, Welker & Moss when contracts weren't involved sure all looked like they were having a professional version of fun to me. But then they weren't 3rd round busts that thought they were suddenly going to come here and get showcased then catapulted to stardom and attendant big bucks elsewhere only to take the rep hit of being cut by a team that desperately needed LB help. When BB cuts you at a position where the cupboard is bare that can't be good for your career. In all fairness from that career standpoint Marsh did arrive here with the idea he'd be a pass rusher and injuries to McLellin & Hightower drastically changed what this team needed from him so 'what was going on' here turned out be his abject failure and professional embarrassment. That probably kind of sucked any sense of potential fun right out of things right quick.
