Aqib Talib clears up the Marquice Cole controversy plus more from Belichick and Mankins
Former Patriot Marquice Cole signed with the Broncos yesterday. This led to sort of a mini-controversy in Patriot land.
Cole can maybe give the Broncos some inside info, more so than Deion Branch when he signed with the Colts last week. The former Pats corner knows his teammates tendencies a little bit better and can also give some info on nagging injuries.
So, are there hard feelings in the locker room? Let's ask Talib.
Asked about Marquice Cole joining Broncos, Aqib Talib says, "That's my dog. Cash that check, baby." Media laughs.

No? Ok. Moving on.
Logan Mankins also talked to the media today.

Logan Mankins: "Games are played on the field, not on paper." I always love the profound insight I get when I come talk to the Patriots.

Thanks Logan.
Also he is a man that respects a good blocking tight end.
Mankins talks about how TEs only valued for catches these days."But the tight ends on our team are vital to our success in the running game"

Belichick is smiling all over the place this morning. He must have gotten wind of the Internet meme.

What meme? This meme!
Bill also went on to talk about the Patriots playing on the road in the AFC Championship game. He really really seemed to care about that.
Belichick on playing a road playoff game for the first time since 2006: "Eh, we play eight road games a year."
