Two nuggets of note before heading out to today's mini-camp practice at Gillette Stadium (closed to the public) at 2:15 p.m.:

  • ESPN.com, with a reporter on site for the team's mini-camp, notes that first-round pick Jerod Mayo blended right in to the Patriots' way of doing things.

  • The Boston Globe's Patriots notebook has veteran punter Scott Player lamenting that he won't be able to wear his single-bar facemask, per a new NFL rule.

    1. Why did the Ap and Espn change Brady's comments to make it look like his ankle still bothered him? He was clearly joking. Now it is all over that Brady's ankle limited him from off season work outs. Espn and Ap both printed new stories but no retraction of the wrong story they prited earlier. Espn is just a joke.Ap should print a retraction.

    1. Susan,
      The AP caught on, see link here: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g3766O51hyJihZCAENnElaxU5MrAD915LA000, so did ESPN but SI.com and some papers around the country are still running with the old story. Your right about ESPN though, their coverage of "spygate" among other things have really soured me and it's an awful injustice how they let their ex-employee and friend off the hook with his "spygate" comments recently and it's a shame how no investigative reporter at any major sports outlet has digged in to the origins of the taping practices of Parcells and other teams. It tells me that this is the media's payback to BB for his refusal to make their jobs easier. If this was another coach, "spygate" would have been nothing but a blimp in the radar.

    1. How did espn get a reporter on site? Does this mean the Pats are through with freezing espn out and have entered a period of détente with the world wide leader?
