Okay Pats, let's get it.

Good read from the Washington Post.
Hating Brady is now a national pastime - for his success one day or whichever the way the wind is blowing the next. If you're in that boat, read on. It may not help you but so be it. Just know the below is nothing new and is oft-repeated over the years. Brady is a really good dude. You can paint him as you wish but it is the case.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Phillip Dorsett sat on a table inside the New England Patriots’ training room, having just completed the physical that made him an official member of the franchise. Just then, one of his new teammates entered the room and walked straight toward him. “Hi,” the teammate said. “I’m Tom Brady.”
“I’m like, I know who you are,” Dorsett said this week, laughing. “You don’t have to introduce yourself.”
Brady turned 41 in August, which makes him the oldest non-kicker in the NFL. He belongs to a protected class under the Age Discrimination Act. He’s a decade older than all but six Patriots. About 30 of his teammates this season are closer in age to Brady’s 11-year-old son, Jack, than to Brady. His primary strategy in navigating the age gap at his workplace is to ignore it.He takes connecting to his teammates seriously. It starts with the greeting Dorsett had in the training room. Every time a new player signs, regardless of stature, Brady makes it a point to say hello. A quarterback who requires no introduction has nonetheless grown expert at it.
“He’s one of the first guys in the building to know a new person’s name,” (Josh) McDaniels said.
Wide receiver Damoun Patterson, 24, joined the Patriots’ practice squad in November. On his first day, Brady held a door open for him, which was “kind of shocking to me,” Patterson said. The next day, Brady approached Patterson and asked, “What’s up, man? What’s your name?” “That was kind of a dream,” Patterson said.
“He’s a very down-to-earth guy, easy to talk to,” 24-year-old defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. said. “That’s what makes him so likable and lovable on the team, how he builds team chemistry amongst everybody on the team, through just talking, just interacting. And everybody knows who he is, and he knows who he is. He doesn’t allow the stature he has to distance himself from everybody.” -
Artie, dayum. Where's the death pool thread?
Comedian Artie Lange was held in the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, N.J., on Wednesday night allegedly in an effort to help him sober up before being relocated to a long-term treatment program.
The former “MADtv” star’s team tweeted that he was not arrested, but only being held in jail for a few days.

Since we are on the topic of interviews gone wrong by jokes, let us remember this classic by Gordo...
Aikman has a stick up his ass. Has for years.
That idiot Bayless told us it more than a stick but whatever.

Ken Mansfield, former U.S. manager for Apple Records, recalls watching the momentous 1969 rooftop performance mere feet from the Fab Four
2003 article about the recovery of the Nagra tapes I mentioned above, source of hundreds of bootlegs and which will surely be integrated into the new film

Was just about to post the Mansfield read. Great stuff.

he bet that if he hit on your mom she wouldn’t sleep with him. he lost, repeatedly.
The guy's always seemed a little off. But I guess he knew there would be very little resistance, once he figured out a way to get inside the coffin.

What bad bet(s) yielded the clown costume?

NFL Network just starting Super Bowl highlights by game.
Facenda is the greatest voice associated with the NFL and it's not close.

Yeah, but there was nothing misleading about his thuggery.

That Ticketstock spot they're running right now is one of the worst things ever and I just assumed it was meant to be a joke, but I'm starting to think they're serious about it.
So true. Just bad. Real bad.

Saw this in Peter King's column yesterday. Pretty crazy shit.
14 playoff games in his 20s. 5 in his 40s.

Royalties?

“It’s not if, but when,” Del Conte said. “Playing A&M is great for the state. Rival games are important for college football. Notre Dame should play USC. Georgia should play Georgia Tech. Alabama should play Auburn. Pittsburgh should play West Virginia.”
