Patriots training camp starts

All NFL camps start today, but obviously all UB cares about is the Pats camp opening in Foxboro...UB can't wait to get a look at running back Laurence Maroney, the Patriots 1st round draft pick taken 21st over all. Some say he was the best RB available in the draft:



Don't expect Deion Branch to be at camp any time soon, he's already a no-show today and until he fires his agent or the Pats decide to pony up the dough, expect the former Super Bowl MVP to be absent. On the plus side that should mean more reps for Patriots second-round pick Chad Jackson, who like Maroney has been called the best available at his position in the draft.



Of course there will be one major subtraction from camp this season...
