Hey Neal the next time you find some valuable NFL memorabilia send it to me and i'll get rid of it for you...


Meanwhile in pleasant New England...

Word is that if you want to beat Newton to Gillette Stadium, you have to arrive well before the sun rises. Such a motivated approach, coupled with the well-advertised energy he brings to the field, have created a spark inside team headquarters and positioned him as a leader.
"He has the juice every day," Patriots' third-year cornerback J.C. Jackson said. "That's what we need.""Every day he comes in with a lot of juice and gets guys going," third-year tight end Ryan Izzo added.
As for where Newton stands with learning the system, quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch said the "leaps he's been taking each day have been really impressive" considering the "huge foundational gap" working against Newton in a new offense.
Fisch, too, has taken note of how Newton has helped set a tone.
"Cam has a great energy about him and is one of those personalities that is infectious," Fisch said. "He's come in every day with an excitement to work."
Now is the time for Newton to make his decisive move for the starting job. One point coach Bill Belichick made is that last week was set up as a review for players, so coaches feel like everyone has been given a fair chance as they begin a string of five straight practices Sunday.
The competition now rises, and the expectation among many who have watched him closely over the last few weeks is that Newton will, too.
