Re: Does BB smoke cigarettes?

Fair enough.

Take a look at him in the photo from the homepage, Boston article titled "Whats the deal Patriots". It looks like a cigarette in his hand with what appears to be an ashtray partly showing behind the water bottle in front of him. Am I seeing things?

I should have paid more attention to the Mod's note. He/she was spot-on!

So on a somewhat more relevant note: can someone please tell me why the elite franchise in all of sports is still using videotapes?

I give up...because they are easier to download at half-time to deciper opponents defensive signals?

I'm sure they keep the tapes for archiving purposes (Dimitroff, in his pre-draft interview with Patriots All-Access last season, showed the camera around one of the team's videotape storage rooms for draft prospects).

But whatever Bill is watching on his laptop is just digital video that's probably stored on some huge server somewhere (I know EMC just sponsored the Pats last year). It probably first passes through the video department, which edits and cuts it, etc., then can be accessed through the server -- definitely by Monday morning after a game day.

Here is a great article Reiss wrote in 2006 about the team's weekly process involving game tape, etc.:

That's not a cigarette or a pen people. Obviously it's a big fat joint.

That explains the 4th and 13.
