Orioles outfielder Adam Jones did an interview with Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports about black players in baseball, racism, former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, and more. Its a valuable conversation with a lot of hearty answers from Jones. He shared what he thought was the dumbest thing people say I dont see color, and brushed off Schillings amateur investigation into racism. Jones, who had said after Baltimores May 1 game that Boston fans had hurled racist insults and peanuts his way, talked about the citys reputation as significantly more hateful than other places. He believes there are racist areas all over the country. Now, you cant just single out Boston. That would be a cop out. You go around the whole nation, and you hear fans get nasty.

A year has passed and Dushane is still the Top Boy, engaging in large scale drug smuggling with the older Scotsman Joe and using streetwise kid Michael as a courier. I dont know if it has something to do how with how their day went. I understand peoples frustrations after they have a tough day. Couldve had a tough day at work. Couldve been fired. Wife couldve chewed. Kids couldve gotten sick. Im a fan of baseball, so I understand if you go laugh at a player when hes 0 for 3 or somebodys hitting. Now that the draft has come and gone without a Jimmy Garoppolo trade, its time to wonder what the Patriots end game is here. Because theyre going to have one. Orioles outfielder Adam Jones did an interview with Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports about black players in baseball, racism, former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, and. The second you want to start cursing, let alcohol beat you up a little bit, yell profanity, get angry thats not the sport. And another thing I think ties into aggression with sports, especially with Twitter, Instagram, social media, is fantasy. I get guys like, Hey, can you sign this for me I sign for them, and theyre like, Hey, Ive got you on my fantasy team. Do something. Like. How do you respond to thatAt the end of the day, when this uniform is off, I try to be a normal person. But I understand its a different standard. Whenever we speak out or whenever anything happens to us, its all documented. In 2. 01. 7, everything is going to be news quickly, quickly, quickly. I got so many calls after Boston. My mom, shes all upset. Im her baby boy. She doesnt want me to have to go through things like that. But I told her, thats why I had to speak up about it. Jones mentioned Schilling after Passan asked whether the Oriole felt alone speaking about race in baseball. Schilling had used the airtight evidence of rap music to make the argument that a person who listens to music with nigga in the lyrics would be hypocritical to be offended by someone calling them a nigger. He just wants an outlet. Somebody will take his call, take his rants. He can keep them for himself. Because hes never experienced anything like I have. Ill stick with what. But hes never been black, and hes never played the outfield in Boston. The Patriots Will Soon Have To Choose Between Tom Brady And Jimmy Garoppolo. Now that the draft has come and gone without a Jimmy Garoppolo trade, its time to wonder what the Patriots end game is here. Because theyre going to have one big ass decision to make in the months ahead. Curran of CSN New England calls whats potentially brewing in Foxboro a tsunami, and hes not wrongdepending on what the Patriots really think of Garoppolo. Tom Brady, a marvel just three months removed from the masterful comeback that earned him his fifth Super Bowl ring, will still be the Patriots quarterback this fall. So dont worry about that. Bradys contract also doesnt expire until after the 2. Patriots certainly wouldnt cut Tawmmy Fahkin Brady, would theyWell. Brady turns 4. August, and for however long he may think he can keep stopping the clock by eating rabbit food, Father Time eventually wins. The Pats will soon have to plan for life after Brady, which is why their biggest question going forward will be Do they think Garoppolo is their future franchise quarterback The nightmare scenariohaving to decide while Brady is still as effective as everlooks like its coming true. So the answer may have to come before the 2. Lets leave the MVP discussion for Skippy and Goatface and All Takes Matter and that Sunday morning. He will earn just 8. Even as backup quarterbacks go, thats a bargain. But because Garoppolo was drafted in the second round, rather than the first, the Pats do not have the luxury of a fifth year option on him for 2. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next year, and even though hes made just two career starts across four seasons as Bradys understudy, hell be in demand. If the Pats want to retain Garoppolo in 2. The market rate for free agent NFL starting quarterbacks currently starts at 1. Bears gave Mike Glennon just to keep a seat warm for Mitchell Trubisky. Garoppolo is likely to command way more. The Patriots could put the franchise tag on Garoppolo, but the tag would require them to pay the average of next years top five quarterback salaries, fully guaranteed. This year, that figure was 1. The franchise number hasnt yet been determined for next year, but you can count on it being even higher. This is where a Brady Garoppolo decision will ultimately come to a head for New England. Brady is scheduled to earn 1. And the Pats are running out of room to re work his contract. The two sides could agree to another restructure, but Brady has already converted enough of his salary into a pro rated signing bonus to reduce his 2. And if the Pats wanted to do anything similar with any of that 1. Theyd only be adding to the 7 million in bonus proration thats already scheduled to count against their 2. Brady would be due that year, assuming he hasnt been cut before then. What would cutting Brady after 2. New Haven to Bar Harbor Its not unprecedented for a Hall of Fame quarterback to be kicked to the curb late in his career with stuff left in the tankPeyton Manning comes immediately to mindthough, as Curran pointed out, theres no real parallel for what the Pats might face with Brady, who still appears to be at the height of his powers. Practically speaking, by releasing Brady the Pats would have to eat 1. The Pats could spread that out by designating Brady as a post June 1 cut, which would mean hed count 7 million in dead money in 2. The Pats could also try to flip Bradythe 4. Joe Montana to the Chiefs when he was about to turn 3. Brett Favre was shipped from the Packers to the Jets a few months before Favre turned 3. Pats 2. 01. 8 cap, though they would get something in return. Of course, all of these scenarios assume the Patriots actually think Garoppolo is their post Brady man. Right now, theres reason to think they do. Before the draft, there was a great deal of smoke surrounding a possible trade with the Browns, who have been hoarding draft capital. There never was any fire, though, and while the Pats publicly played it coy, NFL Networks Ian Rapoport eventually reported this emphasis mine From my understanding, the Patriots do not want to deal Jimmy Garoppolo. They really just dont, whether its to the Browns, whether its to the Texans. Their stance right now. The Pats surprisingly moved linebacker Jamie Collins in season last year, but they figure to get a smaller return on a Garoppolo deal now than they would have before the draft because QB needy teams like the Browns and Texans both just invested premium picks in quarterbacks. The Patriots have been unusually aggressive this offseason. Is that because they understand Bradys time may be limited The Pats moves did fit with their longstanding pattern of stubborn unsentimentality, and moving on from Brady before he starts his decline would be their coldest calculation yet.
