There’s a lot of debate right now in Patriots Nation about whether or not we want Danny Woodhead on the cover of Madden 2012. Personally I’m all for it, I don’t buy into stupid curses and having Woody on the cover would be great for promoting the sport to tiny white guys. It’s also nice that it has a little “one that got away” element for the Jets as well. So vote for Woody!
ESPN: Belichick unanimously voted best coach
Um der…
Also had to include this quote:
For the first time in ESPN.com’s individual Power Rankings series, the eight panelists reached unanimity. Each of us voted Belichick the NFL’s best head coach, and there’s little room for argument.
As someone who has scrolled through their comments for the past three years, I can hear the Spygate whiners already.
But Belichick hasn’t won anything since the New England Patriots were caught videotaping defensive hand signals …
That’s true, I suppose, if you don’t consider 51 victories, a .797 win percentage, three division titles and a trip to the Super Bowl not winning anything. I’m pretty sure fans of any team other than the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants gladly would trade their past four years for the Patriots’ so-called embarrassments.
Belichick on how the Patriots build their draft board
Great stuff from Mike Reiss, the most interesting quote below. This week we’ll take a similar approach with our big board and break it down by positions and what round we think would be appropriate.
“When you stack your board, you’re going to look vertically … The way we do it, we look vertically by positions. Here’s all the quarterbacks, here’s all the tight ends, here’s all the running backs,” Belichick said at the time.
“[Then] horizontally across the board, you try to get some kind of value of … This cornerback and this guard, and this linebacker and this tight end would have about the same value. They’d come in and they’d be role players for us. They’re never going to be starters. Or whatever their value is.
"And so when you’re sitting there trying to make your picks, you may be looking at three or four guys and they’re all kind of about the same. You’re five or six picks away and whichever one of these guys we end up with, we take them in this order, but we could live with any of them.”

Kicking off Monday with a new Patriots highlight film that just popped up. In any other year it would feel like the worst part of the off-season was over, but with the lockout it still feels like we got a long way to go. Either way, I like watching Patriots highlights…

Tom Brady hanging with the UCLA softball team.
This is always the time of year I have to resist the urge to go a little stalkerish on a Brentwood/Westwood/Beverly Hills-area TFB hunt.
I imagine I just stumble upon Brady, Welker and Edelman working out at the UCLA practice fields. They instantly notice that I just happen to be wearing an awesome Patriots hat.
“Hey, you a Pats fan?” Brady yells.
“Hell yeah I am Tommy!” I quickly respond.
“We could use another guy”, shouts Welker.
“Sure thing white Wes!”, I respond as I rip off my tear-away pants and throw in my mouthguard, already 100% ready. (I should also point out that I just happen to be wearing cleats as well).
I sprint onto the field and over the next hour work out proceed to become best friends with the guys, earning their trust and impressing them with my tiny ounce of athleticism.
I even pick off Brady with an impressive diving catch. My celebration mocks his dancing video, but he laughs it off because he respects how I broke on Edelman’s out route.
Afterwards we make plans to make this a weekly thing and for them to give me a stipend for providing my cover corner skills because, you know, I’m pushing them to get better.
Brady also gives me a bunch of free Under Armor stuff, and tells me he has a bunch of other free crap in his garage that I’m welcome to clean out any time. He and Edleman also persuade my to grow my hair out.
Finally we establish a new “broseph” handshake before all heading our separate ways.
Yup, that’s totally how it would happen…
