Tan's revenge costs Ian Moody his job and Malky Mackay what seemed likely to be his next one.

Apparently you can't do anything electronically and be certain it will stay private, who'da thunk it.

This is old news, but LeGarrette Blount, Le'Veon Bell, and a female friend were involved in a drug-related incident. No charges have been filed, but the police expect to file possession charges against all three, as well as DUI charges against Bell. I post this only because I am curious about something. After last season, quite a few Patriots fans were surprised that Blount was not signed by New England. He had been a valuable contributor to the offense, and his contract would not have been outrageously expensive. What my evil mind wonders is whether or not the Patriots knew something about Blount and avoided signing him just because of the possibility of this sort of problem. New England has become somewhat hypersensitive about these things since the Aaron Hernandez situation.

I realize this will give the NE bashers something to talk about, but I still wanted to put the thought out there.
