NFC East should be interesting, apart from the Deadskins.

Agree, I think the Giants are due for a good season.

You'll enjoy him.

Of course we know there really is no such thing as the Madden Curse, but I would've preferred Gronk on the cover solely we can stop hearing about the curse, ugh! 
Can't disagree with Gronk, and it seems worse since he was from the SB winner but hey....WR is sexy and TE really isn't and it's all about that sex appeal. 

Much like that article calling that Penn State player a mathematical genius, all about hype. Whoever wrote it probably has no idea themselves about any of that stuff.

I have to imagine it's gunna be same as last year: 1-2 with Jennings and Williams, but now we got Vereen mixed in who will probably be a third down/change of pace/back up.   
We got Hynoski back and healthy, the O line is hopefully looking to keep improving...with both those I'm hopeful for the running game.

I've actually gotten into far too many internet arguments about him haha. He was like all the rage on reddit/r/NFL for a bit. There were articles calling him a mathematical genius which I took objection to. I argued that he wasn't a genius, but a guy who has published a solid but unimportant (same way I would describe my own publications) article. People take objection to that evidently. I tend to take umbrage at the attenuation of the word.

Cool article though. I don't watch any Ravens or Penn State games so I don't know much about him on the field. Seems like a really interesting guy off of it though.

Such a joke that Odell got put on the cover over Gronk. There's no position player like Gronk. He's by far the best TE with a considerable gap between him and #2. Odell is a guy who had a great rookie season playing like a top 10 WR. I don't get it.

Non Pats news:

Jags get another blow with Fowler tearing his ACL on the first day of rookie minicamp.

Reports are coming in that Cruz is about 75-80% back...and can make cuts again. Good thing to, being Odell is going to have to overcome the madden cover curse this year.

I agree that the report is weak...that's why I'd say it gets reduced down to two. This way the NFL still saves a little face and the punishment isn't so outrageous.

And if anything, I expect the fine/picks to be the easier thing to get overturned. The report pretty much exonerated the coach/owner/organization...I know it's suppose to be an in aggregate penalty but still...
