Has anyone on the beat wrote a more extensive Tom Brady article?


Message board posts and 247 staff in those posts confirmed he spoke to the team prior?

Played on special against Georgia. But first OL snaps in over 370 days according to John Brice

I'm guessing we saw some of his family at the airport, maybe his parents. How many fans would be rocking #56 with name to boot? Couldn't catch up in the TSA line full of people who seem like they have never seen airport security protocol at 5:30AM. They must feel pretty awesome making that game not expecting him to be so key to victory.

I'll never understand bow people don't understand that linking to this stuff is driving it. Cam Newton and ESPN don't care if he's right, they care if you watch it.
exactly - and the only thing camela newton is worried about is the hats and clothes he steals and wears out of his wife's and girlfriends closets......

I was watching it to see what RC was going to say. I don’t care what CN says. Just another datapoint as far as I care. RC destroyed CN anyway. It was funny.

But I get the critique …. I’m linking to bad media and this creating the appearance of wanting more of it. lol. Ok I’m a terrible person grrrrrrr

When I googled Penn State draft profiles for players, this is what returned:
  • Abdul Carter, EDGE (Round 1)
  • Tyler Warren, TE (Round 1)
  • Nicholas Singleton, RB (Rounds 3-4)
  • Kevin Winston Jr., DB (Rounds 3-4)
  • Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE (Rounds 3-4)
  • Zane Durant, DL (Rounds 4-6)
  • Jaylen Reed, DB (Rounds 5-6)
  • Kaytron Allen, RB (Rounds 6-7)

ND's top draftable players were Benjamin Morrison, Xavier Watts, Rylie Mills and Howard Cross. 2 inured, 1 compromised

Plus ND sustained their 4th and 5th injuries on the OL this season. And this team still found a way to win.

Seriously, Penn State was loaded with talent.
Similar to last year for them - 8 taken with two in the first two rounds. They have some ridiculous individual talents recently for sure.

Last year Alabama had 10 drafted, 5 in first two round - 3 in the first. Georgia had 8 with five in the first two rounds. FSU 10 with 4 in the first two rounds. Michigan 13 with three in the first two rounds

11 and 44 are likely the two best players we've played on offense and defense all year.

Until next week where it'll be 2 and 4

A-OK when I landed at 9am. Raleigh isn't expected to start snowing until around 8pm, so of course school is closing 3 hours early. My son wasn't interested in going to school on 3 hours of sleep so the early release saved him from my parenting. I have friends on a 4:40pm return that might have a different experience.

Sorry you couldn't make it!

A note for future PSU games - WTF are you doing wearing an ND white jersey or t-shirt to an ND/PSU game? Lots of folks need to do better.

PSU fans around us left after the Gray INT - battered fan syndrome man. We still needed to get into FG range! Totally bolted with 30 seconds left and overtime probable more than possible.

Loud and obnoxious yelling back at us the whole game - grown man yelling in the direction of a 12 year old right behind him ffs. Overall, not a positive impression of their fan base as a bunch of punchable twats. I hope Franklin stays there forever.

Sounds like they take their cue from their coach.

Trying living among them. They are the worst. And that's not even considering the Paterno/Sandusky stuff. That elevates the large number that still try to defend JoePa into the innermost circle of hell, while everyone else is in various levels of the other circles.
