Monday - March 30

On Monday the Patriots met with free agent Rolando McClain. With injury plagued linebackers Dont'a Hightower and Jerod Mayo, the Patriots might be looking for a veteran at this position. On that note, various news outlets in the Boston area reported that Chandler Jones is another player who is rehabbing from surgery since the conclusion of the season.

Tuesday - March 31

Something interesting to point out, Patriots.com turned 20 today. Yes, when the internet was still in its early years, the Patriots were there. One year after Robert Kraft bought the team in 1994, Patriots.com was launched.

A few interesting milestones:

  • The first website of any professional sports team
  • Debut of "Patriots Cybersideline," in 1997, was the first regularly scheduled, 'made-for-the-Internet' video show.
  • The first website to host a live post-game show, after Monday Night Football against the Broncos in Denver.

Wednesday - April 1

Tom Brady is starting to take the social media waves by storm. From jumping off a cliff on vacation, to some pick up basketball with Michael Jordan, he loves to share it all. Wednesday was no different as he poked a little fun at the fans with his Facebook post in a full body cast. Thanks for the April Fools scare Tom!

Tom isnt the only one with a fun offseason. Rob Gronkowski has been living it up taking on interviews with Jim Rome, spiking pretty much everything, and of course working out.
