After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025?
Returning: Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it.
Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place.
Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again!
Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's bad math.
New this year: Stefon Diggs. Man, they love signing guys coming off knee injuries. I'd be much more impressed with this signing if it was five years ago. But... maybe?
This season, we're launching the Ask Gronk AI agent. Feel free to send along any questions for Ask Gronk.
"Hey, Ask Gronk - What was it like to play for Coach Belichick?"
There were many great challenges and successes in my time with Coach Belichick and the New England Patriots. Any relationship can be tough to maintain over time. It takes hard work from both parties. Also, speaking of work, join a union if one is available to you. Or look into forming one if not. If workers don't look out for each other, who will? If the workers of the country don't unite now, when will they?

My prediction: Pats 24, Raiders 19

This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels stopping by for a visit.
Prometheus brought fire to the people. Zeus, the Greek god of like, turning into a bull and sleeping with chicks and stuff, was super pissed about this for some reason. I dunno... maybe he was just having a bad day or something.
To punish Prometheus for his hubris, Zeus chained him to a rock, then had an eagle come down EVERY DAY and eat his liver. Somewhat gnarly. His liver would grow back again each night. Then the eagle would show up again the next day and just go to town on the poor guy, repeating the same cycle in an endless loop of punishment and carnage.
I wonder why that story might be on my mind these days. No reason, I guess.
Until next time... take it easy, Brahs. Don't let them get you down.
JAY MICK DEE OUT.
