While I’m Away

I enjoy writing for this blog and I wish I could contribute more. But I hope you all understand that I do not get paid for this endeavor and my work and family life take precedence.
These priorities will keep me away for about a week or so as my family and I take a […]

But that’s what happened yesterday following NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s meeting with former Patriots’ videographer Matt Walsh in the Spygate case.
