Just a theory, but I'm beginning to wonder if ESPN was not more directly involved. They had Mike Fish on Walsh for a long time, Walsh wanted protection. I can see Fish saying "ok, we'll get you a great guy from NY that does stuff for the NFL ok?" That wouldn't come off well if true.

Somewhere I read the Pats have a huge percentage of Day 2 picks on their roster. Others maintain the draft in recent years has been thin. So I checked. 2007 Roster by Patriots Draft Round 1 - 7 players, 13% - Seymour, Warren, Wilfork, Watson, Mankins, Maroney, Merriweather 2 - 4 players, 7.5%...

For all those suggesting Maroney is a bust or "made of glass" for missing 5 games so far over his first two seasons. Lets just take a look at the other first round running backs of the last few draft classes: 2004 Draft S. Jackson - missed 7 games over first three years C. Perry - missed...

One of the PFW guys just read it out on air.

I've seen some threads attacking the defense, but here I pay homage to what it achieved today. In the first half, when it was still a game they performed thusly: Plays, Yards, Result 5, 2, Fumble (strip sack) 9, 79, TD 3, 3, punt 4, 11, punt 3, 0, punt 5, 11, punt 1, 7, end half 1st half total...

Ok, your chance to vote on how the media will respond now that the case is closed.

1991 - Belichick's career as a Head Coach starts in Cleveland. Unfortunately, Sony Betamax format finally discontinued. Browns go 6-10. 1992-93 - New VHS recorders installed, but manual is lost, recorders still flashing "12:00" for most of the next two seasons. Browns go 7-9 both years...

Now that the ruling is in, they're back to the everyone does it, wasn't that big a deal line.

Not that I expect them too, but can you imagine how much fun it's going to be if we end up with a top 15 pick?! Oh the whining and complaining that would be unleashed. We could end up with the SB and a high pick and have good old Godell have to be there to announce both of them!

Everyone going to the SD game has to show up in some kind of spy gear. Cameras, fake cameras, binoculars, one of those old style pop out telescopes with a big eyeball picture pasted onto the end, whatever. Huge swaths of the crowd could do this for the national TV crew, waving and gesturing...

Does anyone know how NFL teams are allowed to obtain game film/tape for scouting and game planning purposes? Can they take their own footage? Is there a league supplied footage? Can they use Network TV footage (I assume yes)? Can you send an advance scout to a game you are not playing in to...

Working on ideas for the SD Game this week. Just brainstorming now, but I'd LOVE to have something to do at the game - within the Gillette stadium guide lines of course! - show up with cardboard TV cameras en masse - play "Every step you take/I'll be watching you" by Sting as the opening intro...

I've been tracking the Pats roster makeup for a few years now (originally this was spurred to debunk insinuation that Borges made that all the SB teams were really a product of mostly guys left over by Parcells). I haven't posted them here yet, but here are the updated results for 2007. Note...

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2007/08/roster_part_ii.html 4 QBs and 6 WRs and yet still plenty of room for 9 LBs, and 9 OL. I keep reading this thinking, SOMEBODY had to not make the team, so who?! Andrews is there, Tory James is not. Lua to IR leaving Mills as...

here's my take on last night too Went to my first ever training camp last night at Gillette. Here are some of my notes and observations - understanding that I never played organized football, never did a practice, never saw one, and always wondered what they were like, and how they possibly...

It just struck me looking at this list, but who's the only guy NOT holding out in this group? http://www.profootballtalk.com/2007firstrounders.htm Granted, the hold up here is all about Brady Quinn, but still, Merriweather is the only one in the group not affected by the craziness going...

For all of us vultures hoping for a 49ers collapse so we can get a high draft pick in 08... Link thanks to PFT: http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=658190 Never want to see injuries, never wish them on any one or any team, but still, an FYI if you're following along at home.

I've been a season ticket holder for a few years now, but am thinking of going to that General Admission training camp thing for the first time this year. Anyone else go to that? Any tips or insight, from traffic to getting autographs? Was it worth going?

There was some speculation last summer about a new provision in the CBA sometimes called "cash over cap" in which teams that outspent the cap in total cash outlays (nothing pro-rated) might get penalized in future cap years. Now USA Today has their data for 2006, the first such year under this...
