On the red carpet

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- I know what you're asking: What about the practice squad players? (OK, maybe you weren't asking, but we're going to tell you anyway.)

A TV crew has set up a red carpet behind Laurence Maroney's booth at Media Day, and with the help of model Claudia Jordan (she of Price is Right fame and a Rhode Island native), they are teaching a bunch of Pats practice squad players how to strut their stuff on the red carpet. The practice squad players seem to be getting a kick out of it.

Speaking of area celebrities, also here is Medford beauty Maria Menounos. Sporting a signed Tom Brady jersey (she got his autograph after the 2001 Super Bowl), Menounos told reporters she would be asking the quarterback about the pressure of playing for a perfect season.

Remaining true to her hometown team, Menounos scoffed when asked if she owned an Eli Manning jersey.

"No way," she said. "No offense to Eli."

More to come ...
