My family received unthinkable news two years ago when our 2-year-old daughter, Hallie, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant in hopes to cure her cancer. 🧵

Brady quarterbacked two entirely different rosters to dynastys

Patriots WR Stefon Diggs on Mike Vrabel running next to Antonio Gibson on the 90-yard KR TD: "Yeah, I actually just saw it on video, and I was like, 'He's slow as hell.'"

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel says 41 players came in and lifted yesterday on their day off. Players buying in.

There were debates last week whether Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen were the new Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow is going to the Super Bowl.

I think Pop Douglas just set an NFL record for most yards picked up while also almost falling down.

Any of you know our two-year-old, Hallie, was diagnosed with AML in April. Hallie died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning as Jen and I held her hands in bed. gofund.me/3c30b847

Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye: "Shout out the fans. You gave me goosebumps running out there for the first time."

Wish you were here today, Hallie 💛

A reporter asked Bill Belichick if he had a message for fans who have stuck with the team through thick and thin. Belichick: "Yeah, I don't think it's been too thin around here."

These back-to-back tweets are a masterpiece

Stephon Gilmore said he knew he could get Zach Ertz a little rattled because he had seen the Eagles tight end crying on film.

If Biden tweets, "this game sucks" it could swing the midterms

Rams CB Jalen Ramsey is playing heavily in the slot today and has been burned by Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow multiple times.

The Patriots currently are making rookies dive for loose footballs while Tom Brady hoses them down.

Bill Belichick said on WEEI that resigning from the Jets was one of the great moments of his career.

I haven't been on Twitter lately. My 2-year-old daughter, Hallie, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia last Monday. It came as a major shock, but she's started chemo and is still being her silly self. Thanks to everyone who has already lended support instagram.com/p/CrLiFAYOMqv/…

Preview of the Patriots offense next season

2001 to 2004: one dynasty 2014 to 2018: another dynasty Didn't say anything about the Bucs

Sam Darnold said this week he was going to find the weakness of the Patriots' defense. Duron Harmon: "I think he's still looking for it."

Browns DE Myles Garrett on Drake Maye: "I think he is a great human being. I think he is good quarterback who is soon to be a great quarterback. I like how he’s grown. It’s nice to be a part of his journey. Hate to be on this end of it, but it’s nice to see how he’s leading his team. He’s helped them rebuild into what they are now. In a way, I’m proud of him, and I’m happy to see his success."

Tom Brady said he was crying the night he met with Robert Kraft and called Bill Belichick to tell them he was leaving the Patriots.

Tom Brady is currently having a long conversation with Odell Beckham Jr. in the halls of Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots are signing Auburn WR Will Hastings, per source. Jarrett Stidham's former slot receiver.

Patriots are going hard tonight

Patriots WR N'Keal Harry has a travel bag packed in front of his locker.

This is probably the worst performance by an officiating crew I've ever witnessed live.

#Patriots TE Hunter Henry recently said he'd miss a game if his wife gave birth on a Sunday. He won't have to worry about that as the baby was born on New England's bye week. Congratulations to the Henrys!

Patriots QB Drake Maye says HC Mike Vrabel offered the team to practice inside. They elected to practice outside.

Amazing block by Julian Edelman. No way James Develin picks up the first without it.

Belichick on Luck announcing his retirement: "He's a good player. I didn't see that, but I don't really follow them."

LSU TE Thaddeus Moss, Randy’s son, says it would be a great story to catch passes from Tom Brady.

Unreal. We'll be telling our grandkids about watching Tom Brady.

Just went through every team's depth chart, and do you know what team could really use a running back like Le'Veon Bell? The Jets.

We're completely lost and heartbroken without Hallie. Our lives will never be the same. Hallie was such a special kid, and she made a positive impact on so many people she met. We were lucky to be her parents, and Olivia knows she was fortunate to have the best baby sister. We knew the prognosis was poor when she relapsed after her bone marrow transplant, so the whole family spent special time at the hospital last week, but we held out hope for remission because of how brave, strong and resilient Hallie had been through her entire nine-month battle with acute myeloid leukemia. Unfortunately, chemotherapy after transplant was ineffective, and her aggressive form of leukemia had grown out of control by the time she started a trial treatment. Doctors at Boston Children's Hospital did everything they could to help Hallie, and she beat AML every day for over nine months straight. Hal, my koala baby, my little Hallie Bear, my Sour Patch Kid. She'd yell "DADDDDYYY" at me to take her on a walk around the hospital floor and then give me sweet little pats on the back when I took her out of her crib. She was so beautiful, naturally funny (and knew it) and was going to be a star in dance class. Doctors, nurses and hospital staff loved seeing which princess dress she'd be wearing that day (or particular hour). She loved painting, LOL dolls, her pink Hallie blanket and most of all, her cat Rambe, puppies and her family. The world is a worse place without Hallie in it. If you can take anything from Hallie today, it's to know exactly what you want and to be persistent in asking for it, whether it's going on a walk, ride in the car or wearing one particular princess dress (usually Cruella). I'll miss rubbing and kissing her head the most. We'll keep you updated on Hallie's memorial services. Hallie Forever. March 28, 2021-January 21, 2024

Patriots CB Jonathan Jones joking about how Bill Belichick might handle a player asking for more NIL money: "'You want more NIL money? Worry about your history grade.'"

Chase Winovich is the Patriots' best draft pick since 2016.

Before I start tweeting about the Patriots all day, I wanted to share some words about my dad, who passed away this weekend. I love you, dad. instagram.com/p/CHnZWDVAjsS/…

#Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. says he was "very" close to signing with the Patriots. He spoke with Belichick during his brief time as a free agent. Says if it had been three years earlier, with Tom Brady, it would have been ideal.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think we should probably wait until Patrick Mahomes has won even half as many Super Bowls as Tom Brady before we start calling him the GOAT

New Patriots WR Javon Baker on his game: "Bring your popcorn. I make people in wheelchairs stand up."

Tom Brady's message on Instagram

I understand no one is going to feel bad for the Patriots, but asking them to cram on a plane with people who might have been exposed to covid on the day of a game they're going to play without their star quarterback against the best team in the NFL is ... a lot.

I'm preparing to return to work, but first I wanted to write about Hallie, and my experience covering the Patriots through the unimaginable circumstances of my daughter's cancer diagnosis, treatment and tragic passing. bostonherald.com/2024/02/11/…

Tom Brady made the NFL 100 Team.

Combined offensive and defensive snaps for rookies through eight weeks: 1. Seahawks: 2359 2. Texans: 2055 3. Bears: 1957 4. Giants: 1844 5. Jets: 1629 ... 28: Saints: 530 29: Dolphins: 485 30. Rams: 327 31: Cardinals: 303 32: 249

Josh McDaniels told his kids last week that if they grow up to be like James White, then he and his wife did a good job as parents.

The Patriots' offense was legitimately good today while facing one of the NFL's best defenses. Huh.

Free-agent tight end Kyle Rudolph would be interested in signing with the Patriots, per source. New England attempted to trade for Rudolph as recently as two years ago.

Dez is heated over the Hunter Henry non-catch

I wonder if an NFL head coach has ever spent his bye week in an opposing owner's suite before. Titans HC/new Patriots Hall of Famer Mike Vrabel is with Robert and Jonathan Kraft.

JC Jackson is tied for eighth on the Patriots in catches.

When Jason McCourty came to New England, he asked why James White never got yelled at. Josh McDaniels said that James White is the type of player who can be told something on the first day of training camp and still carry that note through the Super Bowl.

Kyle Van Noy was informed that Jarvis Landry guaranteed a win. "Oh, he did? Nice."

These refs are TERRIFIED to throw a flag on the Chiefs. Maxx Crosby was mauled.

Tom Brady relayed what he told Bill Belichick when a receiver wasn't dependable: "I don't have any trust that this guy can help us win the game. If you put him out there, I'm not going to throw him the ball." Said Belichick always saw it the same way.

Cam Newton to Patriot Nation:

Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Bill Belichick and Randy Moss are all on the field being honored with the NFL 100 team.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte: "I think people fail to realize that at one point in time, I was a first round pick, just before my surgery. I think a lot of people doubt that I can do what I do, but, I mean, I always knew what I can do, but for some people it is a surprise. But to me, it's just it's always what I used to do." Says he still feels like a first-round pick.

Don't be surprised if Tom Brady brings along FA WR Danny Amendola to wherever he plays next season. That could even be a reunion in New England.

Belichick was being booed, smiled, showed off his rings, and drew a laugh from the crowd.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will not be accepting Donald Trump’s Presidential Medal of Freedom. (Per @AdamSchefter)

Dont'a Hightower called the Patriots linebacker corps the boogeymen.

I find it pretty funny whenever I hear that Julian Edelman has "lost a step." He's playing through injuries, getting double covered and is still on pace for the best season of his NFL career with a projected 109/1,220/7 line at 33. That would be career highs across the board.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons made a crying face at Patriots HC Mike Vrabel after Vrabel was complaining about a potential facemask.

Tom Brady was asked if he had anything to say on the Antonio Brown allegations: "No." Reporter: Not a word? "Didn't I just say that?"

Here's the full list of players who skipped the Patriots' White House ceremony.

what if -- hear me out here -- baseball games don't start at 8:39 pm anymore

Cam Newton on being the first Black Patriots QB to start in Week 1: "It's a big deal. It's really a big deal."

Bold move by the Chiefs to start the Patriots' offensive line

Gisele’s reaction to Tom Brady’s return

The 2019 Rams are a good reminder of how amazing it is that the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII the year after losing Super Bowl LII.

PFF only assigns coverage grades at the catch point and after the catch. So a player like Christian Gonzalez gets no credit for blanketing a top receiver if that player isn't targeted. Gonzalez has covered Ja'Marr Chase, DK Metcalf and Garrett Wilson and allowed 13 catches on 20 targets for 79 yards and a TD with a PBU in three games.

I don't completely understand how the Patriots were competitive on the road against the Seahawks and Chiefs and now ... this.

Patriots OC Josh McDaniels: "I love this. I love football. I love coaching here."

I need everyone on Twitter to save their energy for the eventual Matthew Slater Hall of Fame debate.

Patriots WR Gunner Olszewski broke his nose last week. He was asked about it today: "It's good. I'm a mouth-breather now."

Cam Newton: "Like I said, it's not the sexiest thing to see a quarterback throw for 69 yards."

FYI: Jalen Hurts never had Eagles QB in his Twitter bio.

Carlton Davis is allowing 27.75 yards per game.

Matthew Slater announces James White and his wife had a baby boy.

I mean. That's a catch. The NFL can tell me that's not a catch, but that's a catch.

Josh Gordon, Antonio Brown.

Brady on his message to Belichick: "I have a great relationship with him. I'm just incredibly grateful for what he's meant in my life as a coach. He's everything you could ask for as a player."

Sorry it just seems a little silly to rule this incomplete when the ball never even hits the ground.

This rules

all la la land had to do was run the ball

Current Patriots with at least three rings now: Tom Brady James White James Develin Julian Edelman Matthew Slater Rob Gronkowski Marcus Cannon Dont'a Hightower Patrick Chung Nate Ebner Duron Harmon Devin McCourty Stephen Gostkowski Ryan Allen

A source tells me the Patriots had a camera crew in Cleveland this weekend to shoot a documentary on a scout that was watching the Bengals-Browns game. The Patriots cleared it with the Browns, have turned the footage over to the NFL and are cooperating fully with the league.

NBC just showed a graphic that Devin McCourty has played the most defensive snaps in the NFL since he was drafted in 2010. Great player. Even better durability.

Super Bowl LV passer ratings: Tom Brady: 140.1 Patrick Mahomes: 37.4 😬

Highest graded QBs over the last two weeks 👀 Derek Carr: 91.7 Mac Jones 91.5 Aaron Rodgers: 89.5

Belichick: "Hopefully we'll be able to practice this week. We certainly need it."

The #Bengals re-signed CB Tre Flowers to a one-year, $1.85M contract with $500k guaranteed, per source.

Greatest player in NFL history. The league won't be the same without him.

I can't stop watching this throw
