Bill Belichick makes me laugh. When Chad Scott went down in training camp and had to be carted off the field, we all knew it was bad. After all, he landed awkwardly on the same knee he had surgically repaired a while back. What does Belichick do? He describes Scott as day to day right up until putting him on IR. It’s not even pre-season yet, Coach! Lighten up a little bit!
Anyway, here’s what’s buzzing around Patriot Nation today:
Mike Reiss reports on the Scott injury – and notes some of the possibilities to replace him. The last possibility he mentions is of course the best – coming to some kind of terms with Asante Samuel.
Steve Buckley writes a piece on Wes Welker. Guess what? He’s short.
Dan Pires gives us a few quick looks at Bruschi, Meriweather, and Brady.
All is pretty quiet around camp, which is a good thing. The most news you’ll get out of Pats camp is either an injury or Tom Brady having his kid. For now, we’ll just sit tight and wait for preseason.

“day to day” = biggest lie in sports injuries since “high ankle sprain”. Chad Scott could have been carted off separately from his leg to separate hospitals and still would have been listed “day to day” right up until he went IR for the year. If it weren’t for gambling pressure, Belichick wouldn’t have to tell these lies daily; then again, it’s preseason so why not just tell us Scott’s screwed from day 1 and let Pat’s fans start thinking about replacing him instead of holding out hope that it’s just a “lower body injury”.
