Bill Belichick is your drunk friend at the NFL fantasy draft, hoarding the tight ends
Remember that article I wrote yesterday about Jonnu Smith signing with the Patriots, and how Bill Belichick finally had an athletic tight end to build his offense around again?

Upsets, trendy faves, arguments against Gonzaga, and your champ will be...
If you’re at all serious about it, you’ve probably taken your first stab at filling out a bracket by now.

The Patriots were lost in the dark in the first year of their post-Brady era.

The November friendlies against Wales and Panama could have been the biggest tease ever. They kind of felt like that at the time.
