Funny Malcolm Butler & Antonio Brown commerical

[PatsFanSince74]

I agree that he could ask for (and get) big money, but I feel like he'll take slightly less to the 1 and only team that was willing to sign him as a UDFA... He seems like he is a Patriot through-and-through IMO. But I could be totally wrong.

I tend to take a contrarian view out here when it comes to player contracts. The average career of an nfl player is a little over three seasons and careers can end any day...even on the practice field. A lot of contract money is not guaranteed. So, I generally think they should get as much as they can get.

In Butler's case, the Pats took a chance on him, yes. But Butler apparently wanted to get a deal done before he played this season for third year minimum. The Pats wouldn't do a deal, as is there wont, and I kind of think that by trying to do a deal before he's an RFA satisfies any obligation anyone could say that he has to the team that took a chance on him.

I don't fully understand the rules that will apply, but I suspect the Pats would give him a first round tender, which would put him in a pretty strong position where if he doesn't sign an offer sheet with another team he gets around $3.5 next year and become a UFA after 2017.

My kids love Pappa Johns and it kills me. They won't eat anything else. I refuse to eat it. Shame too. We have a kick-ass pizza place in town and they make it in a stone oven and they use hickory wood. I know the owner and he grows all the veggies in his greenhouse, makes his own sauce, dough and he cures his own Italian meats. Its not cheap but my god it is good.

Last year we had relatives visiting from the Midwest who started ranting about how unbelievably expensive pizza is in Boston -- "what is WRONG with this place??" I tried to explain that here, pizza is real food, not fast food. They were utterly baffled, so I tried an analogy. "Think of the best restaurant hamburger in your area, then think of McDonalds. Do they cost the same?"

No dice: "But pizza is just pizza, it's all the same." They'd never tasted a non-chain pizza in their lives, and I couldn't persuade them it was worth trying.

I guess this means Butler is famous outside of New England?

(Good for him)

Something tells me they didn't ask ODB and Josh Norman to do that commercial.................

Maybe there's an anger management center somewhere that can be pitched to run that commercial.
