Hightower status

He has close to 500 followers. 500!.

And it feels like half of those are posters on this site.

So Spike claims that he is the "Official Patriots Beat Reporter for Title Talk Media LLC".

Then when I search for 'Title Talk Media', the only thing I found was another twitter account with zero original content, that simply retweets tweets it finds interesting, with zero additional commentary. No website, no listing for this alleged limited liability corporation, nothing, nada, zilch.

From where I sit, Spike is living in a delusional fantasyland. Something tells me he has no media credentials to enter Gillette as an 'official beat reporter'.

I don’t think Patriots beat writers (legit ones) are necessarily lying, even though he might not retire. Many of these players strongly conseider it annually. We don’t know what their physical and mental health is like from this sport, and they’re in a dilemma where they have a ton of money to retire but would also be leaving a ton of money on the table.

We hear about injuries and surgeries and have kind of normalized them as fans, but these really do suck and hospitals/rehab become such a big part of their lives…that was Andrew Luck’s point about this.

I imagine this retirement “consideration” report would be applicable to many players, but it just doesn’t become an actual story or tweet most times.

Godot.

But you wouldn’t know because you’ve been wasting your life away waiting for my arrival. I was here all along. Sorry I couldn’t just tell you, but then my play wouldn‘t be as interesting.

Per Reiss,

Hightower hasn't been on the field for voluntary OTAs this spring but has taken part in virtual meetings.

I bet it’s amusing for players to see these stuff about them they know isn’t true.

Sounds like the coaching staff wants to see where he is at physically. Per Jerod Mayo a week ago:

“Hightower’s a true professional,” Patriots inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo told reporters during his video conference on Thursday. “Obviously, opting out last year, hopefully we get the same Hightower we got in 2019, but we’ll see. We’ll see. I’ll say this about Hightower: I’m not worried about Hightower mentally. He’s one of the smartest players that I’ve been around and had the pleasure to coach. He knows all the Xs and Os. He’ll probably be a coach one day, honestly.”

“This guy, he’s very smart,” said Mayo. “The one thing you got to be concerned about with a guy like that is you’re coming off a year of not playing football. And so, training camp and this period right now, these are times right now where you really want to see him get back into football shape.”

And back at practice:

"He's back"
