On BB's birthday. Not a bad gift to himself, as it turned out.Just coming here to post this, I see I was beaten:
Cassel and Kingsbury.L to R: ??, ??, Hoyer, Brady, JG, Brissett
Is it Stidham, then Etling, then Hoyer?
Ryan Mallett must be an @$$holeHoyer tweeted a photo of the QB group
You must've missed LFitz in the group photoRyan Mallett must be an @$$hole
Looks like Tom is getting ready to have an “old friend for dinner”
I don’t know why but seeing Matt Cassel in this photo makes me so happy.Hoyer tweeted a photo of the QB group
No coincidence he’s wearing shades. Pupils are probably the size of Jupiter.Jimmy has the Welker sweats.
I believe so, and with that “pron stache” the PFWGuys were razzing him about at theCombine.Is that Vrabel in the back of the first picture?
There’s blasphemy and then there’s whatever the hell this is.Jimmy G's cheekbones could be their own country. He's markedly more handsome than Brady. No wonder Brady rode him out of town.
Astounding.Second Tweet, top right pic...did Gisele never teach him how to tie a tie? That's poor form Thomas.
Off base, but looking at list of current NFL he'd coaches to see who had been his teammate (I was drawing a blank on Kingsbury) -- BB has as many rings as the rest of the active head coaching ranks combined.
Gruden 1
Harbaugh 1
Payton 1
Pederson 1
Tomlin 1
Carroll 1
BB 6
Is Tom standing in a hole?Hoyer tweeted a photo of the QB group
Ernie is busy reviewing stolen practice tapes and having the locker room refreshed with new bugs...he don't have time for that shit.Do you suppose that, say, Ernie Adams will flip on these guys just to laugh at them?
I am sure BB doesn't have time or interest in that. But someone in the org might?
I assumed that Rob Parker's take was going to be that anything over a few million for Brady was a massive overpay.Two of our favorites, Colin Cowherd and Rob Parker, discussing Brady making just $15 million a year.
Starts around 2:30 in.
Parker, naturally, doesn't understand, if Brady is taking discounts, who exactly the Patriots are paying the money that they save on Brady. Neither of these guys gets that while NE does have some higher-end salaried guys, they mainly fatten up in the middle of the roster, so instead of having 10s, 9s, and 8s in the starting lineup and 2s, 3s, and 4s as backups, they have a few 10s and 9s, but mainly 8s and 7s in the starting lineup, but lots of 5s and 6s as backups. And because the NFL is a war of attrition, when attrition happens, the Patriots have quality players to still put in there.
That hat is not doing Tom any favors.Jimmy G's cheekbones could be their own country. He's markedly more handsome than Brady. No wonder Brady rode him out of town.

I bet he does OK with itThat hat is not doing Tom any favors.
This was well done.Looks like Tom is getting ready to have an “old friend for dinner”
Wait, you mean Tom Brady and Jimmy G. are still friendly? I figured Jimmy would hate him, after Tom and Kraft colluded behind BB's back to run him out of town....I love everything about that, including that Jimmy G is still part of the posse.
On the other hand, I recognize maybe half of the faces there. Probably less. Anyone able to do that left / first picture without googling?
Right! Toms shennanigans led to Jimmy being the highest paid Q for only like 14 months and getting his own team. He should knock Toms hat off and say "You Sir, are a scoundrel."Wait, you mean Tom Brady and Jimmy G. are still friendly?

I don’t think he can sign one till AugustAt what point should we get concerned that Tom has not signed an extension? I expected that to have been finalized by now. Among other reasons, doing so would have given the Pats some flexibility for other needs.
Perhaps they have to wait for enough time to elapse since the last extension.
When we see him suited up for another team playing a game. I can't imagine there is any actual fear in this not getting worked out.At what point should we get concerned that Tom has not signed an extension? I expected that to have been finalized by now.

This would be an odd time to walk away, for both sides.According to Paul Perillo on Patriots Unfiltered, an individual in a position to absolutely know (in the Patriots org.) says that TB didn’t hit any of the incentives they put in during last year’s renegotiation, therefore his $$$ did not increase, so he can re-do the deal anytime, they don’t have to wait til August. I’m sure they’ll get it done at some point. I don’t think there’s any reason to worry even a second about it.
I don't give a shit whether it has legs, and didn't say it would.The USPTO will limit the trademark's applicability to paraphernalia relating to a specific sport. You may never hear about this again.
Compared to, say, the photo of him with a literal goat, this will have neither literal nor figurative legs.
Why would anyone want to drink anything that comes out of a Jets/Mets fan or any New Yorker for that matter? Good way to get plaque psoriasis (I work in a specialty pharmacy and at one point we were shipping an oral psoriasis medication to patient after patient after patient all throughout the state).Mets fans are usually Jets fans too. Troll away,Tom, and market their tears as an energy drink.
