Practice report

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots are holding their lone practice today in the Dana-Farber Field House today. The team was initially prepared to practice outside before moving the workout indoors.

TE Benjamin Watson, RB Sammy Morris and ILB Eric Alexander were the players not present for the media-access portion of practice. Of note is Watson's absence, as he has been present for the last two days.

S Mel Mitchell (groin) and S Eugene Wilson (ankle) were spotted after not being present at the media-access portion of the last two practices.

The media was present for stretching and one kickoff return drill.

I hope the Colts put a beating on team Spy-gate this weekend. I used to admire the Pats, but they have gotten too cocky and Belicheck thinks he invented the pigskin. Patriots fans are unbearable and rude. Have some class, people.

If the Colts cannot handle their business on Sunday, the G-Men will smack Brady in the mouth repeatedly in the final game of the season with our vaunted pass rush.

Go Giants!!!!

Windjammin said:

Too funny. The Patriots fans have a chip since we've had to defend our allegiance since Mangini handed the world SpyGate. NY fans are simply rude all the time. Just look at your email; in your face insults. Shocking from a New Yorker.

TonyK said:

Donnypipes,

Tell, how is your post not "rude," "cocky" and "classless," the very things you accuse Pats fans.

I'm a Giants fan too, though they won't have a chance against the Patriots unless the Pats rest their starters for the playoffs. Not being cocky, just being real.

DG said:

I would respond in an "unbearable" and "rude" fashion....but your a Giants fan so no need to respond to a person who is a fan of such an inconsequential football team.

John said:

Oy...

I'm tired of people clamoring about "class". The bottom line is that we are all on the outside looking in. Let's just play some football!

Possible Paul said:

Hey! Who let this New Yorker in here? Can't whup the Sox then go for the Pats, eh? And you're backing the Giants? Go find a beach and sip on a Corona, Donny. You've lost it.

Jay Bruce said:

Is this guy for real? There are some things you know and there are some things you think you know but dont...this is one of those times....no NFC team is going to come close to this team....GO PATS!!!

Socko said:

Wait your turn Donnypipes!!!! We will get to your G-men in due time.....

BrianPat said:

ya, have you been watching ?? Doesn't look that way !!

S, Foster said:

The Colts are overrated. The Pats will knock them into oblivion on Sunday. Colts defense will prove their undoing.
And the Giants are just an average team going nowhere...

Rob Zombie said:

Typical. I heard this same type of talk about the Red Sox last week. Jealous haters. This week it's Spy Gate last week it was the Team with the most money wins.....wah wah wah......

Whatever dude. Giants hahahahahahahahahaha what a joke.

Go Pats!!

PatsFan34 said:

Hey Donnypipes: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

jojo said:

your just jealous see you game 17

Chazmoi said:

Donnypipes-You will be lucky if your team even shows up for that final game, are you kidding me.....Just like a NY fan to bad mouth tru greatness. Go Pats!

Steve Daley said:

A Giant Fan! LOL!! Talk about unbearable and rude!! And it hallucinates too! All for free!! Aren't we lucky!!

Bill B. said:

I could put 11 bowling pins on the field with the Giants and still cover the spread. The Giants. Hah!

Casper said:

I hope the Patriots beat the Heatgate and Injury cheater Colts, you ill informed fan. The colts have been playing tricks like overheating the Dome last year, and playing games with the injury report, just like all the teams. I hope you enjoy watching the Patriots win the Super Bowl.

Pats Fan said:

U think the Giants are going to beat the pats? Dude, thats really funny. The Giants are in the NFC( AKA the JV League). Enough said.
And don't be suprised when pats blowout the colts. You heard from me first. GO PATS! :]

BobbyBrady said:

Hahaaahaa!!!! Not a chance.

Go PATS!!!!!!!!!!

PatsFan said:

You better hope your boy Eli's brother Peyton and the Colts win, because the Giants have no chance beating the Patriots. Thanks for providing a great laugh on a Friday afternoon.

G-Man said:

Hey Donnypipes,

Spy-gate... that was original. Stop living in the past. You probably still think the British are plotting to get their 13 colonies back.

Pats Win...

Jonathan said:

How does a football team get cocky? By winning? The fans maybe.. I agree there, we are use to winning and the national media ripping the pats.

Yeah if the Colts dont beat the Pats the giants will???

Will Coughlin put together a great game plan against the patriots and out coach Belichick??

Come on dude. This is the pats Blog. Not the Eli manning board.

PatsRule said:

Get a life; The Giants are a fan's worst nightmare and I am sure that the Girlie-Men will take it in the Mouth Repeatedly. What a joke; a New York fan call anyone Rude.
Go Pats !!!!!!!!!!

Matt said:

Donnypipes,
Your Gmen, which is short for girlie men will probably be facing the Pats 2nd string when they meet the last game of the regular season....Your "Gmen" still don't have a chance.

Thefly said:

Pats fans have no class? did you read your post. We all know all teams did what the Pats did and when Belicheck got thrown to the wolves he declared war on the rest of the league. By the time we see the Girly Men we won't have to play Brady and Still win.

Go Pats!

smr said:

WOW...sounds like just another fan of another mediocre nfl team hating on the best team of the year, if not the decade.
and who are you to judge what Beilichick does?...if the Giants make it to the playoffs, they will probably be booted out in the wildcard round, just like many other recent years, especially with that pathetic Peyton wannabe QB they have.

BigT said:

You have lost your mind......after the Pats blow up the Colts this week, they will lay waste to the rest of their schedule...this includes the cupcake game against the Giants......I hope you blitz every down, or get good outside rush from your ends.....that just means Welker and Stallworth will be in the endzone twice each....Go Pats!

hens2323 said:

Donnypipes - love it ---colts fans are already throwing in the towel for this game and looking to the AFC Championship game.....you'd never see a PATS fan making those statements. The PATS will win by 2 TD's.

Nooner said:

Donny, Thanks for being so obsessed with the Patriots - it's the greatest compliment this organization can have. Enjoy Eli.

Dom said:

You are clearly delusional, especially the part about the Giants. They barely got by a winless Dolphins team. They're a fraud team and will be exposed by the Eagles & Cowboys (Again!).

Jay Pit said:

Dude, you have Eli as your quarterback.....don't be too cocky.

mickey said:

that game is going to be fun...........he he...........real fun.......ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.................he he he........ha ha ha ha ha.......

S. Rickling said:

I have to admit I used to admire the Patriots organization. That is, until the taping scandal and more recently the classless exhibition (up 38-0 going for it on 4th down twice?) against the Redskins. I still don't understand why the Redskins stood by and didn't send in a third string linebacker to take out Brady. The Pats are arguably the best team in football, it's just too bad the coaching staff can't display some dignity.

Rich said:

I really need to know will Ben Watson play,you know if he does with my double point tight end league, he will ring it up. Thamks Go PATS!!!!!!!
