"Just didn't work out."
That's all Bill Belichick had to offer when asked why the Pats cut defensive lineman Jonathan Fanene, one of their biggest free agent signings coming into this season.
"Just didn't work out." That's all he ever says. Which is fine with me. I don't want/need my coach/GM to say much. I can see what's happening for myself. Just coach. And that's what Belichick does.
So add Fanene to the list of guys I was excited about when the team signed this offseason who are gone before I even have my first tailgate cocktail.
First it was Anthony Gonzalez. Then Joe Addai. Then Robert Gallery. Now Fanene.
Watch out Bobby Carpenter... you're next.
I've been tailgating at New England Patriots games from 1987 to present day. What a difference a
couple of decades make! These tales from the tailgate include everything from the soul-sucking feeling
of a 1-15 season to the unexpected thrills of Super Bowl titles. I often hear people say that Pats fans
are spoiled and arrogant. Not all of us. Some, like me, still can't believe Vinatieri's kick was good.
