NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at Flowery Branch......

This was my view this morning while eating breakfast......

The NE Patriots getting ready for the morning practice

I saw my life flash before my eyes today as we had a lighting storm over the complex of Flowery Branch.  As the afternoon practice was approaching, dark clouds hovered over The Branch.  The clouds seemed as though they were moving away and we were in the clear......until - the EMS guy (luckily awake this time) shouted "JILL!" and pointed at the downpour that was headed our way.  We all quickly grabbed the music equipment, shut the sponsor car doors, and grabbed anything we could that couldn't take the rain.  As it started to die down, the BIGGEST THUNDER cracked literallllllly over our heads.  I've never heard a louder thunder in my life.  We quickly hear Hamzah over the radio trying to figure out what we can do with the fans because it was a matter of safety at this point.  Two minutes later another louuuuud thunder.  At this point, fans start to worry because it is so loud, long, and close - as the staff was trying to figure out what to do, the skies began to clear up and the storm slowly moved away.  It was a quick storm, but definitely a dangerous one.


Practice began about 30 minutes later and DJ Hamz played "Teach Me How to Dougie" which pulled two players out of their stretches, jump in the middle of the team stretch, and did the Dougie for all to see.  One of the players was Weatherspoon (who has already showed his "Birdwalk" at a previous practice) and I couldn't tell who the other player was.  Weatherspoon has quite a personality, he's an outgoing guy who loves to make anyone laugh.  I like him!  

This is the stretch where Weatherspoon got up to do the "Dougie" for the fans

Bill Belichick extremely happy to interview

As Hamz said, "The Tom Brady Effect"
