What in the world are the Pats going to do with Jake Ballard?

Put him on IR and see what if anything he can give in 2013. I'm not really sure why the Giants felt they needed to waive him when the rosters are at 90 right now. Did they really need to sign that extra special teamer that will get cut in July?

Surely they're not going to take playing time away from Gronkowski or Hernandez though.

Who's Jake Ballard ???

 

[wofford29]

He was the Giants tight end.

He had some great years with the Chargers.

The only thing McFarlane missed was a coat and this would have been a perfect representation of him during the '07 AFC title game.

Kids bought me this for Father's Day.


Can't wait to use it!

I'll be campaigning for this for my birthday.

Went to an autograph session with Emmanuel Sanders. Super nice guy. I got a pic of him with my daughters I'll have to upload so I can post it.

My oldest was thrilled we he leaned forward and put his hand on her back. She was telling her mom about it and she says "and he touched my back. A Pittsburgh Steeler touched my back!"

I love my kids!

Though I am still in shock that that team beat the Colts to get there. Their entire starting roster was so plagued with injuries. That game showed how the Chargers are Peyton's bane, and now he'll face them twice a season.

But anyway, adios to whiney-ass LT. Up until that '06 AFC title game loss, I had a lot of respect for him, but the way he pouted after that and continued doing so the rest of his career, no more. Though I'm sure he'll get in the HoF, but I don't think we'll see Norv Turner giving his induction speech.

He will be in the HOF in just over 5 years from now.

I was quite shocked he wanted to sign a 1 day contact to retire as a Charger after the ugliness from when he left.

I had to laugh at Hargrove and his Mona Lisa analogies...I give him some props though...he stepped up and let his voice be heard...
found it very interesting that the Packer's were found of having a pay for performance program and yet nobody was suspended in 2007. That one slipped my mind. Forgot all about that. Anybody with glasses can see the NFL and RG are just trying to CTA with all of these players suing them due to CTE...Jim McMahon can't even remember how to get home without a GPS....

 

[mfoga]

Brees is losing any respect I had. He wants people to belive that the bounty program didn't exist, yet coaches on the team said it did. WTF??

 

[Darth Cruel]

As if the Vikings needed another hurdle to jump over...que Percy Harvin.

 

[FLOSI]

Hard to think that they could even get all that much for him because of the migraine issues. Talented? Yes. Dependable? No...

 

[Darth Cruel]

I wonder how far he will take it if they refuse to trade him. I can't even imagine that he would retire.

 

[karamazov80]

Being a chronic migraine sufferer myself, I can empathize with his issues on that front. But yeah, if you are paid to work specifically for 16 days out of the year (hoping for a few more) and can't do that due to your medical condition, then that's a valid concern by teams.

 

[FLOSI]

I really hate this time of the year for NFL talk... Bounty Gate? Percy Harvin? Yuk... I want football.

 

[p!tu]

I hope 85 changes his name back before the pre season starts. I don't want that name on my favourite team lol.

didnt his fiance tell him to change it cause she wasnt getting married with that last name?
