Will Return on Monday July 12th

Not that anyone really cares but if by chance someone was missing my Patriots Psycho Blog I just wanted to put everyone’s minds at ease, I will return. Right now it’s the perfect storm of a personal vacation and the darkest depths of the NFL Void coinciding at once. So barring any hugely momentous Patriots news we’re going to be taking a short break from the blogosphere to get...

Help Me Pick My Yearly Patriots Hat

It doesn’t get any worse than the end of June/early July for NFL fans. Mini-camps are over, most of the players and reporters are getting their vacations in. Even the coaches and GMs take a break, so there’s rarely any news (though the Pats did just lock up Gary Guyton for another two seasons today). If you’re like me and you’re pulling your hair out as you slowly count...

Patriots Mini Camp Wrap: Defensive Backs Edition

The Patriots defensive backs are a young, talented group, but is still unproven in big games and on the road. For cornerbacks, Leigh Bodden was re-signed to a multi year deal, if nothing else he is a solid piece in the puzzle of creating the Belichick Defense 2.0. Darius Butler is a promising young player, said by Mike Reiss to be “ready to take the next step”. Devin McCourty is the...

Patriots Mini Camp Wrap: Linebackers Edition

We now enter the final calm before the NFL season starts, the last month when everyone, including reporters go on vacation. The NFL is darkest just before the dawn of a new season falls. With that in mind we’ve gotten a glimpse of who’s working where and what we can expect to look for in training camp. We start with what will surely be the most interesting of camp battles, the...

Let's Not Forget the Patriots Dynasty Was Already... →

Above is a previously depressing/now comical article from Deadspin declaring the Patriots Dynasty D.E.A.D.. I’ve said it many times, until BB and TFB are gone the Patriots will be contenders, it’s just as simple as that.

Patriots Mini-Camp Day 2 Wrap

Never fun when real work and fake work (i.e. blogging) collide because the one that pays me is going to win out every time, and that ain’t blogging. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have one eyeball on all things Patriots mini-camp related today. Some points of interest to pass along: It seems like a pretty safe bet that Wes Welker will be back sooner than later in 2010, but as...

Patriots OTA Day 1 Wrap Up

On days like this, when there’s a lot of Patriots news pouring in, and my real job that pays the bills is really slammed I can get pretty frustrated. So now as I wolf down some frozen Trader Joes Indian food I bring to you a collection of observations from around the interwebs as to how things went at a Mankins-free day of OTAs. Play of the day went to Terrence Wheatley when he broke up a...

RapSheet: In Depth Look at Welker's Rehab →

For those of you fooled by Welker’s appearance with Elliot Spitzer hooker in a photo at the Playboy Mansion, this article makes it pretty clear than Welker’s had an inhuman work ethic to get back on the field. Every time I read something like this I feel like week one might not be out of the question. Wow.

My Mankins Stance

The internet is ablaze with all things Mankins and of course it will get far out of hand. So to avoid getting in twitter battles here’s my stance: First, I don’t see how this is any different than Deion Branch, Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, etc. THE PATRIOTS DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PATRIOTS. Some people don’t like this. They love their players and they don’t want the...

Reiss: Mankins Ain't Happy With Pats →

I don’t get it, don’t the Patriots have a long term contract offer on the table right now? Might not be as much as Mankins wants, but if they told them they’d get his contract done after the season and there’s a contract on the table right now, it kinda defeats what he’s saying.

“I want to be traded. I don’t need to be here any more.”

– Logan Mankins (via Mike Reiss today) Too bad, looks like he went with option C: “F You Patriots, trade me right f’ing now”. Still wouldn’t be surprised to see him sign a long term contract. Patriots will do what’s best for Patriots. Get over it.

Logan Mankins Statement Coming Later Today...

I love Mankins, partly because his name is MANKINS, but mostly because anyone who saw what happened to Seattle after Steve Hutchinson left knows how important a great LG is. Options of what he will say today: Excited to announce a new long term deal. Likelihood:Minimal as this kind of announcement would likely come from the team. Signing his tender, but unhappy about it. Likelihood: Probably...
