Not that he was at all what the patriots needed or were looking for last year, but there were times when Cordarelle Patterson was lining up at running back. Surprised we did that least hear about the possibility of bringing in Vereen.

Mullens wasn’t bad either.
Jimmy G definitely played much better than the previous week.
I watched that entire game and he made two wonderful throws (one being a TD), but he also threw a pass on 4th and 1 right into the line.
And the only excellent QB last night plays for KC.
Edit: I only brought up Mullens because I wanted to point out the fact that (I know it is only preseason) it is possible that the KC defense still isn’t very good.

Long form Jonas Gray article on ESPN. Overall good but he seems a bit delusional - he basically thinks that if not for missing that meeting he’d be on a big contract somewhere.

Terry Glenn's son died on Thanksgiving by what is being termed a accidental overdose.
However, he had tweeted that morning about how much he missed him and you have to hope he didn't act rashly...

It can be really hard to tell what’s suicide and what’s overdose.
The real takeaway I guess is holiday can exacerbate depression and addiction issues, so we should all take time to reach out to people we know who may be battling either or both.

“Reich said the Colts "knew he had the issue in the preseason, missed a couple of weeks with the knee, but once we got going it was never really on the injury report.”
The Colts manipulating the Injury Report. Nothing to see here, folks.

Nate Solder is the Giants' pick as the Walter Payton Man of the Year award nominee. In the release, the Giants also announced that Nate's son's cancer has come back. Such a tough situation. Prayers to the Solder family.

My reaction:
Cyrus Jones undergoes open heart surgery.
Like he says in his post. Crazy to have such a sudden operation on something he's been living with his whole life

Lasik to fix his big stupid bug eyes.
Lasix to make sure he pisses down his leg right at the most crucial moment of the game.
I looked into it like 10 years ago, but the process seemed daunting and I didn’t have any contacts. I’m content just to lurk.
Got to say I like the cut of your job. The raw agression against a backup defensive back going through a serious medical issue is just breathtaking.
Reche Caldwell was not a defensive back and is not going through any serious medical issues that I am aware of.
To be fair, I have nothing against Reche Caldwell. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, he just kind of sucked at football, but whatever. Not like I would have done any better.
Although I just checked his Wikipedia, and it turns out he was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for selling MDMA. Also he’s recently been accused by the Justice Department of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud.
I guess you could say he really dropped the ball on his post-NFL life.
I’m sorry.

Lol you’re kidding me? The dude with the most famous bug eyes in history got busted for molly? My mind is blown.
Kevin Faulk to become RB coach at his alma mater, LSU:

I love Kevin Faulk almost unconditionally. But if he doesn’t smoke weed in the 2008 off-season, Brady probably never tears up his knee.
I may get over that at some point. Carry on.

In fairness, that's a well-known and common consequence of smoking weed. If only someone had told him!
This is absolutely awful to read:

That is terrible. And I am NOT saying its not true....but I thought Patrick Pass has been part of a traveling football clinic/Alumni Game thing that the Patriots Alumni do. I am like 75% sure that Pass was one of the guys who showed up. Was a "Star" of the group very involved very athletic (running go's and beating everyone on the field diving all over the field etc etc). I think I have seen this twice around 2016 and 2017. So while we all know that the NFL takes a terrible toll on a players body, Its just weird (to me) that He is having these kind of medical issues now after looking "fine" if overweight.
Again maybe I am wrong and it wasnt Pass. Or maybe he was dealing with these issues during the alumni stuff. Or maybe it just came with ageing and the toll caught up with him.
Whatever the issue I hope he gets healthy. If I am recalling correctly Pass was great with the kids and was a very likable guy in the few mins we interacted.

Aqib Talib may have started the fight that led to the shooting of a youth football coach by Talib's brother

That is a hideously awful story. I am so, so sorry. A man is dead, another one will be in prison for life and, not that it matters, but Talib's television career is over. What an all-around catastrophe.
I knew Talib had been involved in legal entanglements before, but didn’t realize the extent of them.
This sounds like he’s been much more seriously involved in these things in the past than we know.
ALOT of ex pats with not good looks.
I suppose a deep dive of any NFL team is gonna have a similar result.
But I wonder if we will look back at some point and be like "DAMN The Pats were the 2000-2018 version of the 1970s Raiders collecting up guys of lesser character if they were talented". Just Win baby.

Yeah, he's a former Pat, but played only 19 games in NE of the nearly 150 he played in the NFL. It's every team.
I think that every team has some guys with criminal histories or post playing-days rap sheets, and I don't think the Pats are any worse than other teams on average. But we do have the only *literal serial killer*.
Edelman is doing a live AMA on Reddit in about 45 min https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/wxmpi8/i_am_julian_edelman_and_i_miss_football_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
For those of us who don't reddit, has he actually answered any questions yet? It doesn't appear so?
I hope for his sake that he stays retired. Guy took a metric ton of head hits. He has given enough to this game.
Yeah, he mostly memed his answers. Which is pretty much what you might expect from a joker like him.
Apparently JC Jackson is among the 20 highest ranked players in the NFL top 100, the only other CB aside from Ramsey. I personally don't think he's at that level, but still, nice to see.
