SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Here's a rumor mill article on that very topic, beaver. My takeaway from that article: What the hell is up with Brady's ski hat (scroll down)?! Does he have a giant pile of dreadlocks that we don't know about stuffed inside that hat? Does he have a small dog or a large cat inside of it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Small dog or large cat? Neither of the above. It's a well-armed skunk that he is keeping ready for the appropriate moment with Roger Goodell.

I thought that Brady's hat looked like it wasn't quite as full as it should have been, regardless of contents.
I'd rather see Groppo go to the Bears, given his Illinois roots. Then Cutler can get a head start on his new career as a motivational speaker.

Ryan Dickens, the college football prospect whose scholarship offer was yanked a couple weeks ago by UConn coach Randy Edsall, has landed at FCS Lafayette College.

Scuttlebutt has Cleveland chomping at the bit to get Garoppolo. This would be a Belichick kind of deal to pull off. Because he'd find a way to get half of Lake Erie in the bargain.
However, as a resident of Pats country, I am not approving a trade unless it includes Dan Shaughnessy going to the Plain Dealer for Mary Kay Cabot.
Pardon me, it would have to be Shaughnessy, draft choices and cash for Cabot.
For someone with Shaughnessy's demeanor, covering the Browns would be a thoroughly invigorating late career second wind.
