The Patriots going include; David Andrews, Joe Thuney, Isaiah Wynn, Stephon Gilmore, Nate Ebner, Brandon King , Stephen Gostkowski., Assistant coach Jerod Mayo, Ty Law, Drew Bledsoe and Vince Wilfork are also part of the group.

Once Bobby K has his early bird dinner and heads off to bed, that's a pretty fun group to go out and party. I'm hoping for some more David Andrews tearing it up pictures.

All kidding aside, Israel is a really cool place to visit. I hope they have a great time and do a lot of charity work!

Kraft built a football stadium in Israel and founded a league there of 8 teams playing football as well as a coed league and a flag football league . They live streamed some of the games on YouTube.. if you don't mind watching them at 4 am EST as most of the games were Thurs nights and Fridays. The teams are mostly Israelis playing for the first time but there are Americans also, who may have played high school ball and get to play again. It's probably on a level of a good high school team ...
Where else can you see a 5'10 170 lb Strong Safety...???
If BB wants to sign my kid as an UDFA, I could probably put together a highlight reel.......

I don't know why, but I'm glad to see Drew Bledsoe reconnecting with the Pats in retirement.

Regardless of your religion, you have to be awed by the history, the places you read about and thousands of years of human history there.... and I felt safer there than in some train stations in New Jersey.....

Read a comment somewhere by Ty Law about how he was looking forward to he and his son getting baptized in Israel... I am not a religious person, but respect and admire someone else's faith..
