Very thankful today for the Patriots' trainers/medical staff for the way they handled my concussion in 2011. I was out on my feet, they took it seriously, and I spent the year on IR. They saved me from myself. I would've rushed back if they let me. They didn't. Prayers for Tua.

A LOT of unvaccinated NFL players have received Toradol injections prior to every game — and asked zero questions regarding risks, side effects, etc… I have ZERO issue with anybody making personal medical decisions, but this debate is rife with hypocrisy.

Mahomes can walk off this field right now... drive home... and never play another snap of football, and he'd be 1st ballot Hall Of Famer. He's only been a starting QB for 5 seasons in the NFL. This has never happened before. Mahomes is a mind-blowing talent.

Mac Jones is wearing a SCUBA suit under his uniform. Tom Brady always wore one in cold weather, he passed the idea on to Brian Hoyer (who wears a SCUBA suit in cold weather), and Hoyer passed this on to Mac… Part of the reason why it’s important to have a veteran in the room.

Apparently, while Arians was rehabbing the achilles in the early mornings, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and Brady would work on the week's game plan. Arians would later come in and take the red pen to work they'd done. The QB and OC felt undermined, there was tension.
