Where's Fearless? The People's Republic of Kraftville.

I'm here at the stadium on what promises to be an interesting day, given some of the things that have been going on around here in the past week.

Tom Brady was, of course, listed as "questionable" on the injury report with shoulder, finger and rib problems. The propaganda ministers on WEEI are now trying to float the notion that The Golden Boy has a cracked rib, suffered early in the Miami game, so he should be absolved of any blame for whatever goes wrong today.

Adalius Thomas has also been banished to Bill Belichick's Gulag in the wake of comments the former made in response to the punishment he received for being late to the Wednesday morning meeting.

And the most fun of the week came when one of the guys who wears the costume of the Pat Patriot mascot was arrested for soliciting prostitutes during a sting by Rhode Island state police. Turns out the guy is the ex-husband of the Patriots' current cheerleading coach. All sorts of interesting things come to mind on that one, none of which are suitable for a family-related blog.

By the way, in that case, most of the public statements issued by the Rhode Island state police were made by the commissioner of the force, Brendan Doherty, who is a proud member of The Sun Chronicle's 1,000-point scoring list in basketball (1,023 points in 62 games for Bishop Feehan in 1974-77).
