No doubt scumbag will appeal to today's verdict, so the other trial can't commence until that process is over.

I don't think that was intended, because near the end it looked like Brady was making the Han Solo comment and Minitron responded with the Chewbacca sound.:D

Schedule is out

BizzyC

I have three major issues with that schedule....

1. Abbreviation of September as "SET"
2. Abbreviation of October as "OUT"
3. Abbreviation of December as "DEZ"

Hazys

The unfortuante parts of the schedule for me are:

• Short week to face the Broncos
• Earliest possible bye week
• Last 2 games of the season away from home.

bye weeks than early are ridiculous. Can't see why they can't delay them until almost mid season.

Bills to Broncos in 6 days, ouch

Glad to see that Mayo has restructured and it should add another $3.18 million in cap space. He's missed 25 games in 2 years due to injury and he's a homer, so it's no surprise to see that he was flexible. Hopefully now he can put his run of bad injuries behind him.

I'll be at the season opener. First time ever in Gillette(was in the old Foxboro stadium many times) and also first TNF game for me. Really looking forward to it now.

Absolutely, I don't know if we'll get to meet at the game but I'm there for three weeks. Planning to get to a Minutemen game too and a BC game. Deffo arrange to meet up at some stage.

Thanks for that.

You just got to bite the bullet and spend the cash on the flight and ticket and there will be no stopping you. Worry about the accommodation and transport afterwards.

I really thought I'd make it over last year but it wasn't to be . The way things are for me on multiple fronts atm, I can't see me getting over until 2017/18 at the earliest.

Tom F**king Brady.

No surprise to see that we have now exercised the 5th year option on both Hightower & Jones.

Wow can't believe Malcolm Brown was there at 32

I'd imagine it's the reason we didn't trade out.
Couldn't turn that opportunity down.

Absolute steal

empacher

so much first round talent fell to the second round as well. hopefully we get another steal. Eddie Goldman, Jalen Strong, DBG. Landon Collins etc

BizzyC

So Malcolm Brown.....

I'm actually happy enough with that choice, seems like decent value for the bottom of the first.

Bill intimated as much when interviewed afterwards. It looked like we never expected him to be still available at 32. I've even read a report that he could have gone at No. 7 to the Bears. So it's fantastic to get a top defensive player who fills such a big need for us, so late in the 1st round. I'm excited to see what a fully fit & ready to go Brown and Easley could bring to our defense in September. Matt Patricia must be a very happy man right now.

when asked if he had a message for Patriots fans, Brown revealed that his goals may be a bit higher than simply being Wilfork’s replacement. “You’re about to get the best player you’ve ever drafted,” he said. “Just be ready for when I touch the field.”

In his excitement he obviously forgot about TB12, but I love his message to the fans and his confidence.

I guess what i was seeing on twitter was true the Pats were trying to trade out of 32 but then the Colts picked.

Pats definitely thought he wouldn't be there at 32 with Colts picking at 30, especially since we ran for like 5,000 yards on them in two games last year.

DT is a gaping hole for them but instead of drafting a 320lb DT...they draft a 180lb WR when they already have Hilton and Johnson...mind blown

I can't wait to run for another 5,000 yards on them this season...clowns


Patriots.com just released a war room video of BB's reaction to the Colts' pick:

That was my immediate though when they drafted a WR, and then we pick up a 3-down starting DT.
Still think we look below par in the secondary, but the front 7 are looking good/promising.

And then when we picked Brown, Colts fan sites went into meltdown. Some good reading in the link below .....
