Patriots' Parade 2017

[amh03]

Anyone planning on attending? I keep hoping they'll reschedule it to Wednesday, with the weather looking pretty lousy for tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., but it doesn't sound as if it's going to be rescheduled...there's a press conference going on right now with Marty Walsh and he's laying everything out for it to be tomorrow.

Where are folks going to be, if you are planning on going?

Maybe they purposely have the parade on Tuesday to keep the crowd size manageable? Wednesday will be a balmy mid 50's and probably everyone would take a day off then.

 

[loshjott]

I think the players don't want to hang around an extra day either. Those tropical drinks with little umbrellas on the beach (or for Brady, a kale shake) aren't going to sip themselves.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Coach already explained it: Pats are five weeks behind everyone else (other than ATL) and they can't be wasting time waiting for a parade.

On to the Duck Boats.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

They should invite Lady Gaga on the Duck Boats.

 

[Al Zarilla]

TV coverage? Kacie on NESN said this morning "we'll be there", but does that mean TV coverage? NFL Network?

 

[Al Zarilla]

They should invite Lady Gaga on the Duck Boats.

So she can jump in near freezing water?

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

I'm sure local TV will have it. NFL Network has it listed at 9:00 tomorrow night.

In 2015 the city was digging out of a shit-ton of snow and they had it on Tuesday anyway. It actually ended up having a pretty detrimental effect on the city and MBTA, since they had to use a ton of resources for that and service got ruined later as it kept on snowing all that month.

Parade was on the 2nd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_31_–_February_2,_2015_North_American_blizzard

It's not the city's choice. Players want to get the fuck out.

Actually, they rescheduled it to Wednesday in 2015 because of the snow -

Update, 5:30 p.m.: Citing the weather, Mayor Marty Walsh announced that the parade has been postponed until Wednesday at 11 a.m.

EDIT - THE RESCHEDULE I NOTED HERE WAS FROM 2015 NOT FOR THIS YEAR'S PARADE...DON'T WANT ANYONE CONFUSED. Sorry to yell.

Local to Boston, but I'm in the SF Bay Area. Not seeing it on NFL Network. I'll keep looking. Thanks and to AMH for the update on moving it to Wedsesday.

 

[TheRooster]

Anyone know how long it will last? I need to commute out of downtown sometime between 3 and 5 tomorrow and I'd love to time it such that that crowds (except for those headed to bars) are gone.

Oh, dear...I'm sorry - they're holding it tomorrow. That reschedule note was from 2015 when we had the huge amount of snow and they originally planned for it to take place on Tuesday, but late on Monday moved it to that Wednesday.

It's definitely on for tomorrow....

 

[genoasalami]

A parade is better than no parade, but the weather is really going to suck. Rainy and cold. In the 30s. Plan accordingly.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

The Costanza boys and I will be there, somewhere on boylston between clarendon and Arlington streets. Fuck school/work/weather.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Just heard on NFLN that they'll have parade coverage at 10:00 am. Yay.

 

[koufax32]

Excited to see if JE11 can avoid sleeping with some random chick this time.

Brady's out of available sisters

 

[Van Everyman]

Where are people staking out? Headed in w my kids now.

 

[Jungleland]

Anyone know if there's gonna be any kind of stop and speeches at city hall? Would much prefer to watch at the common if it follows recent tradition of standard parade but I haven't seen a definitive answer either way this time.

 

[rodderick]

Anywhere I can watch this? I recall catching a stream of the last one.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

The majors in the Boston market are probably covering it. I just checked and http://www.wcvb.com/nowcast has it.

Also- WCVB has an app that will be streaming it, per a billboard I drove by this AM.

Unlikely as they don't usually* do this, but they may stop at the site of the marathon bombing, if anywhere.

*isnt it nice to refer to these as "usual"?

For folks watching on TV, wbz (4) is inside the pru, so seem to have more access thn the other channels.

 

[TFP]

It's absolutely gross outside

NFL network is using the wbz feed so that makes sense. It's so great having them talk about the "where's Roger" chant to a national NFLN audience

 

[allstonite]

Watching on CSNNE and they are terrible at picking people in the crowd for interviews with the exception of a school kid "Day-Day aka Daquan hit him on the book mom I'm on TV I'm famous" and the guy they interviewed about wearing his Patriots tie to church. The rest are awkward one word answers and the interviewers suck.

 

[Ale Xander]

"Good thing about having 5 of them is you can spread them around".

Nice

 

[DegenerateSoxFan]

Wasn't the chick who posted the pic of JE11 passed out 86ed from every bar in Boston?

 

[Boston Brawler]

Man the weather looks real shitty. Why not wait until tomorrow? It looks way better.

 

[Spelunker]

Man the weather looks real shitty. Why not wait until tomorrow? It looks way better.

The players aren't waiting for vacation.

 

[loshjott]

Players are scattering to offseason homes, vacations, etc. Coaches back to work. Every day matters in the quest for six.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Is this the thread for the Bruins PC? I kid. Weather in Boston looks better than those chicken shits.

 

[Marbleheader]

Tanguay trolling about Deflategate and being creepy with his female cohost. Why does this guy have a job?

 

[Marbleheader]

Thank God CBS has it too. Tanguay and pixely cameras making WBZ unwatchable

 

[Ale Xander]

This one is a little different

Many of the players on tow truck beds

Duck boats fairly empty

That was so uncomfortable. He's the worst. And where did Trenni go? NESN isn't much better trying to take calls and it's not working. Anyone in RI know if this is on somewhere else? These are the only places I could find it

 

[Ale Xander]

Tommy giving Jimmy the trophy so he has both hands to waive

Every Boston network has it plus NFL network

 

[normstalls]

Glad to see Bennett join JimmyG and Tommy on the QB duck boat... come on people.
(I am not local any more - but I am already beyond tired of these two talking)

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

NESN and CSNNE both have it

 

[Oppo]

Was that Bennett with TB and JG? Or was it JB?

 

[CantKeepmedown]

The Bennett, Blount, Lewis, Whitehead, Gronk boat is where it's at. Bennett may end up leaving, but he is milking every possible moment that he can. I really hope they figure out a way to keep him (or he doesn't just chase he money).

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Position groups ride together in general. It was Jacoby.

 

[normstalls]

It was obviously JB... the two talking are so clueless.

Yeah but the RI ones are playing local news. I don't get NFL Network. Need to see if I can get my parent's directv login.

Thanks

 

[Oppo]

These two commentators are terrible. Thought Jacoby was Bennett and thought some random guy was Gronk.
