Bill Belichick: No snow problem … gang’s all here 01.12.11 at 1:12 pm ET

FOXBORO — The powerful blizzard that crippled New England on Wednesday didn’t keep the Patriots from making practice. As a matter of fact, every single player was on hand, according to coach Bill Belichick.

“They’re all here,” Belichick said. “We have some experienced Northeastern drivers here.”

Many players, coaches and staff stayed at the Renaissance Hotel next to Gillette Stadium to avoid having to commute to the Foxboro through the storm. Last year, linebackers Adalius Thomas, Gary Guyton and Derrick Burgess were late for a Wednesday morning meeting in December because of hazardous driving conditions.

The trio reported to work and was subsequently sent home for not taking the weather into consideration and being tardy.

    Wasn’t Randy Moss also sent home for being late as well?

    Randy who??? :)

    I totally agree wtih Mrf.  I don’t want to be greedy- we just won the Cup but Chiarelli seems to always overpay his own players and then ends up boxing himself in with the cap and that prohibits him from acquiring the goal scorer that he desperately needs for help on the powerplay.  Boychuk is no way worth 3.3 million or whatever his average salary is.

    We can add 11 million more in salary this year.

    I like it. Not a long deal, give him something to work for (another contract). Has very good +/- numbers. If we overpayed, its only by a bit

  • Rocmano44

    I agree, defenseman like Boychuk are hard to find and when available go quickly on the free agent market. Don’t think they overpaid for what he would have gotten. 
    He works hard, and has been an asset to the Bruins defense.
