Pats release C. Brown

New England has once again released veteran linebacker Chad Brown. Brown was signed last month after Rosevelt Colvin was placed on injured reserve.

Brown appeared in one game in his most recent stint with the Pats, Dec. 16 against the Jets.

The team did not announce who would take Brown's roster spot.

Sports Illustrated cover: Not quite the dream fulfilled

Hey all --

Bill Belichick was in a pretty light mood today, and poked some fun at himself when asked about this week's Sports Illustrated cover, which has been photoshopped to show Belichick in a Santa hat and furry red jacket with the headline "Perfect Season's Greetings."

"Well, you know, being associated with Santa Claus - there’s a lot worse associations to have. I’ll take it," Belichick said, smiling. "When you’re a kid, sometimes you dream about being on the cover of Sports Illustrated. That’s not actually the one I pictured, but it’s pretty funny."

But shouldn't he have been shown in his infamous grey hoodie? "Whatever sells," he replied.

Practice peek

Thanks to the rain, New England moved today's practice inside the Dana-Farber Fieldhouse; after yesterday's walkthrough, today the players are in shoulder pads and shorts/sweatpants.

Three players were not spotted at the session: Kyle Brady, Nick Kaczur and Kyle Eckel.

Three players were in black as the team's practice players of the week: Matt Gutierrez, Ray Ventrone and Antwain Spann.
