Patriots Rumor All quiet on Hightower front or Dont'a-do-it FA tour

Steelers showing a bit more fight than they did in the playoffs...

Not really. Looks like a similar amount of excuse-making and whining to me.

I guess you could call that "fight"

I can't post Mike Reiss' tweets for whatever reason, but he's basically saying that Hightower is closing in on his decision, that he expects we'll know by tomorrow, and that the Patriots are trying to keep him.

"Closing in on his decision" = Give me a few days to think about it.

Sorry but that is an ******* way to negotiate.

Amature hour in steel country

I'm going to take that as Hightower taking his offers to BB and seeing what he says. If BB comes close High will say "k I'm staying" - if BB says nope not gonna come close, enjoy New Jersey... well, Hightower will be eating a lot of cupcakes.

Reiss is a saint for responding to these clowns. He must have better things to do.

Who/what is ProFootballCentral? Are they something real? Or a JAG out there somewhere?

Kevin Durant already has that nickname

As much as I can't stand the traditional sporting media, if stories aren't at least coming from someone verified or with a profile, I tend to pay accounts no attention or put any credence in their words. Most social media accounts are Incarcerated Bob/Erika Leigh bullshitters.

Established D? Did this person watch the AFCCG?

Ultimately we really have no clue on his mindset, and outside of Hightower himself and his close friends and family, no one really knows. The media had been reporting that he would go back to the Pats if they were competitive. Well, if all offers are "on par" with each other, then he would have had an agreement with the Pats at 6PM right after he left the Steelers. So either they're not all on par, or Hightower is seriously considering leaving for other reasons, none of which involve the weather given the teams involved.

Apparently it is an account that promotes radio podcasts of different football related shows. There is a Patriots related show on that network and I have a feeling a Pats fan is behind this account based on the Tweets of the last few days.

i mean the Jets do need a new "snacks" since harrison left the team, right?

What?

I was talking about the steelers not having a chance at beating the Pats.

They run a 3-4. Hightower is awful in zone.
