yerfatma should be working for Football Outsiders, as the Pats just re-signed Devin McCourty.

You make it sound like I'm not. #footballinsider

Hope McCourty's worth the guaranteed dollars over the life of the deal and that it still leaves room for Revis.

I told Ty Law back in '99: "I don't care how good you are, Ann Arbor or not, you need a degree from Rutgers". He wouldn't listen.

The Pats are an oasis of tranquility and normalcy at the moment, with some of the other deals that are going down. Who is going to be the first Herald scribe to dub Ndamukong "Miami Vice"?

Most entertaining are the rumblings that have Chip Kelly saying "screw Mariota, I want Kaepernick. Now."

The goal, as always, is to get the pre-draft deal period spinning so wildly out of control that Kiper ends up being admitted to a sequestered facility.

"Who is going to be the first Herald scribe to dub Ndamukong "Miami Vice"?"

With Cameron Wake already being tabbed as "Earthwake", the correct names are clearly "Earthwake and Suhnami."

That is the naming stroke of the current period. You have control of the board, sir.

Perhaps Jake Stoneburner and Ryan Tannehill could share the name "Volcano".

(Seamster and Taylor could check in as "Needle" and "Thread". During the Christmas season they could change to "Haber" and "Dasher".)
