It's a good way to connect with prospective free agents. Allen now has a very positive opinion of BB which he'll be talking up with teammates. Plus you never know, Allen grew up a Patriots fan and his current Prairie Cows contract won't last forever. It's hard to imagine Tight Sphincter McDermott entering another locker room, though, without getting booted on general principle.
It's Bill Belichick. At this point he's a living a legend in the NFL. There's a reason why he got to be the guy that did the NFL top 100 team and why legendary players who won rings before he ever joined our team looked like they were about to cry hearing him praise them.
Media? You must mean Felger, right? After all it was Felger that drove Randy Moss out of town.
Can you imagine if Felger was the Patriots owner, or even just the GM? The first thing he would do is put us in Cap Hell with obsolete, overpriced, big-name veterans. And, as he has admitted, he hates the Draft so he would royally screw that up also...but that is just the start....
McKenzie is all world among Patriot fans, but against other teams he's done very little. There's a reason for that. I hope Belichick doesn't fall in love with this guy.
