Patriots game tickets on sale July 16 – Extra Points – Boston.com

And here we go again, another year where fans are tempted with game tickets that will be cleaned out by all the bots within minutes. 

Last year I wrote about the impossible dream that is face-value tickets, and yet again nothing has changed this year. I look forward to hearing from everyone who dances the “I have a chance at tickets” dance next week and comes up empty.

If NFL teams were serious about improving the stadium experience, it starts with giving real fans real access to tickets. Now, any tickets average fans can get will be marked up, only to be compounded by parking costs, overpriced food and drinks, and likely being so far from the field it’s like watching all-22 film.

Quick-hit thoughts on NFL, Pats – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

It’s really been like trying to get water out of a rock the last couple weeks for Patriots news, especially since we’ve been ignoring the Hernando sitch for the most part. But now as we cross the 4th of July we begin the final countdown to training camp and real football news. Just two more weekends…

Here’s a tidbit we’ve been hitting on this offseason… how big a role will Brandon Bolden play this year?

A question we’ve asked ourselves before and look forward to finding an answer to is: What’s in store for second-year running back Brandon Bolden? The 2012 undrafted rookie was blossoming prior to a Week 6 injury last season, looking very much like a reliable between-the-tackles runner with good contact strength and burst. An injury coupled with a four-game suspension relegated Bolden to a special-teams role upon his return, but, based on ability alone, he has what it takes to resume an offensive job. Both he and Shane Vereen are among the running backs who may be called upon for bigger duties in 2013.
