"Aye.. I hope you'll be enjoying yer visit to the depths of sea.."
SuperMan Pix
*Lulu appeared out of no where and smiles widely in front of Gangplank*
i JUST wanted TO GIVE you THIS!!!!! you should EAT some more HEALTHIER FOODS!!
*Lulu puts down a cupcake in front of Gangplank*
*Lulu drops down a terrified squirrel*
ONE of the people HERE on THE SHIP tried TO TOUCH me!!! so i TURNED him into A SQUIRREL!!
Gangplank frowned at the cupcake, before quickly swiping it off the desk, and upon seeing one of his crew turned into a squirrel, annoyed him even further
"Do me a favor.." Gangplank quickly drew his pistol and shot right at Lulu's feet "And get off me ship.."
((Ask me questions before I feed ye to Fizz!))
Ask Grªves
((I actually love the band and posted that song on the last GP's))
Well what I can offer is worth more than a mere pistol. As a weaponsmith, I could craft one of the greatest blades in the world. I could copy the hextech gunblade. I can offer you many weapons. I could even make a cutlas that dispenses rum and oranges.
If your after gold, then I guess....1000 gold per shipment I get. I get five ships in and I give you another 5000 gold as a thank you present. On the tenth you get an extra 10000. By ten ships I get, you get 27000 gold for no work. I make profit and you make profit.
Gangplank raised an eyebrow, as if think all this over.. he then gave a few rubs of his beard.. while he didn't really need weapons all that much.. the gold did sound quite nice.. he finally stopped and spat in the palm of his hand, extending it to Geokhan

3.0 out of 5 stars An odd Brit-flick,
J. Morris "Josh" (London) - See all my reviews
A Fantastic Fear of Everything (AFFOE) is the tale of children's-author-gone-morbid-writer Jack. Cooped up in his dark and eerie Hackney flat, he has developed an insufferable paranoia that everyone is trying to kill him due to the subject of his latest book - an in-depth look at the who's who of London's historic killers. Confined to the flat by a combination of fear and societal shame, Jack wallows in his own filth & self-pity until a phone-call spurs him to meet a potential buyer for his manuscript. But with paranoia & insomnia abounding, the main obstacle Jack faces is the laundrette to clean his clothes for the meet. With a long-standing irrational fear of the places - this may be his undoing. Will Jack manage to pull himself together?
With its deeply unsettling plasticized introductory panning across London to his flat and the unsettlingly-framed shots of the interior of his flat it's clear that AFFOE is not a straight-comedy as might be expected featuring Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) as the leading man. What follows is rather dull in places, his fear really not carrying across to the audience as we are left to ponder just why Jack is so irrational. The gags largely come from slapstick and only the inclusion of a seriously surreal phone conversation with his therapist (played by Paul Freeman - Hot Fuzz) adds any notable entertainment.
The direction is wobbly by first timer Crispian Mills (the guy from Kula Shaker!) When the proverbial record skips to the laundrette there is slightly more intrigue; but again the humour relies almost entirely on slapstick. The ending leaves something to be desired, ending as abruptly as it began with a ham-fisted inclusion of another plot thread. Whilst defenders of this film will shout "subtext" at me, I failed to find the substance to any of this story and I approached with an open mind and love Pegg in general.
Extra content: There's a director's commentary accompanied by Simon Pegg, some deleted scenes and an introduction to the film.
Worth a watch if you are a die-hard Pegg fan and for something different. But falls far short of blowing your mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like original independent films,
Mark B (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (Amazon Instant Video)
I think you need to see this in the right frame of mind. To put things in perspective, I like non-hollywood blockbusters. I like Withnail, Life of Brian, Sexy Beast, Amelie, League of Gentlemen (film and TV series) and slightly quirky stuff.
I rate Simon Pegg but I've been generally disappointed with his post spaced/early film efforts, but I think this film has the potential to be a cult film of the next decade. I can see how it could be considered slow, but if you are patient and in the right mood, I think you might just love it.
It's very very theatrical. It's basically a stage play but more energetic than a stage play. It's very 'Pegg"; very 'League of gentleman'. It' has something. I think, like all cult films, it has a certain charm and 'feel' that makes it fun to watch and, I suspect, re-watch.
It could be sh*t, It could be original. It's may be a bit of both - I think I loved it.
If you like theatrical indulgence, a tongue in cheek bit of fun and you want something to watch and enjoy on a few levels (although whether high brow or not I am probably not quite bright enough to judge) I'd say, keep it for a private viewing with a couple of malts or a splif (if that's your thing) and enjoy the 'spaced-like' / 'league of gentlemen' feel that pervades.
If I was Simon Pegg, I'd say I was as proud of this as Spaced. But I'm not. So I won't.
If you watch it and think it's sh*t, I could understand that too - but for me, I considered it worth writing a review. I generally don't do that.

3.0 out of 5 stars So drawn out that you may want to give it the criminal stare,
Jules (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fantastic Fear of Everything with Official Soundtrack CD (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) [DVD] [2012] (DVD)
At what first seems to be an interesting mainstream serial comedy premise with British boy done good Simon Pegg, slowly turns into something really rather quirky & bizarre with some genuine inspired idea's used in places along with some good laugh's. However getting there you have to sit through a lot of drawn out content just to see these little morsels of delight. Which depending on your take on things with this style over substance approach, will either be more than worth it, or simply not worth it at all.
A long haired & bearded Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) stars as Jack, a successful children's author whose main characters are a hedgehog & rabbit, taking the step into the murky waters of crime writing. As we meet him at home in his London flat where he has been some 3 weeks, researching into the most depraved serial killers from the Victorian era for his "Decades of Death" novel/script, he has become house bound & driven himself neurotic & paranoid, that he see's things that aren't there & jumps to the wrong conclusion about everything based on his research. As his agent gets him a meeting with a Hollywood executive, we follow Jack as *cough* intermittent *cough* comedy & mayhem ensues, as he tries to pull himself together & overcome his fear, to get to the meeting. Easier said than done.
I have to admit that i was tempted to turn this off after 30 minutes, but i found those morsels of delight too intriguing to pass up, even if it came at a cost of watching Simon Pegg in some brain searing underpants for a well over extended period of time. The situational humor was good, and i particularly enjoyed the psychiatrist & Jack scene that played in real life although they were talking over the phone & the Fantastic Mr Fox like animation scenes that used Jack's children's book protagonist hedgehog creation with a twist of adult humor. The cinematography of the film itself when you realise this was written, produced & directed by Crispian Mills from indie rock band Kula Shaker & co-directed by music video director Chris Hopwell, a lot of the visual idea's used in the film could very well have come out of a Franz Ferdinand or Scissor Sisters music video, it has that surreal feel about it at times.
Based on the popular & funny book "Paranoia in the Launderette" by Bruce Robinson (Withnail and I) you have to point the finger a little at the inexperience in film making/writing of Mr Mills who turns this short & snappy 43 page book into a movie which stretch's the material over 1 hour 40 minute's, and it shows with overly long scenes, that should had been shorter & more snappy like the book. On the acting front, Simon Pegg threw all he had into the role as attested by his commitment on screen into the role, and can hold his up high with his fellow co-stars Clare Higgins (Hellraiser) as the forceful agent , Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited) as Jacks love interest & Paul Freeman (Raiders Of The Lost Ark) as the eccentric psychiatrist.
In conclusion, A Fantastic Fear Of Everything clings by it's paranoid chewed nails to my 3 star rating. It has it's moments & Simon Pegg makes it, but the source material is ultimately overstretched that the genuine laughs are too far apart & it's hard to keep interested. I do see potential in Mr Mills as a movie maker & i hope he learns a lot from this. If your open minded & can live with these flaws it's worth a watch.
3.0 out of 5 stars Writers and serial killersare very similar,
E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
Hedgehogs. Serial killers. Laundrettes. Clean socks and underwear.
People are used to Simon Pegg either playing comic roles in funny movies ("Hot Fuzz," "Shawn of the Dead"), or playing slightly less comic roles in serious movies ("Star Trek"). But "A Fantastic Fear Of Everything" brings up blinding, frothing-at-the-mouth terror in some of the weirdest places -- a weird black comedy with a somewhat unbalanced structure.
Children's author Jack (Pegg) is currently working on a nonfiction book about serial killers... which has turned him into a paranoid delusional mess who can barely leave his squalid apartment. He's convinced that a serial killer called the Hanoi Handshake killer is coming after him.
Then his agent informs him that a Hollywood type named Harvey Humphries wants to see his book, and it's his only chance of selling it. The meeting is at 8 p.m. Unfortunately, Jack has no clean clothes -- and in his frantic attempt to clean his underwear and socks, he ends up burning off half his hair and super-gluing a knife to his hand. And he still has no clean clothes.
Unfortunately, he also has a crippling fear of laundrettes (aka laundromats), due to his mother abandoning him there. But on the advice of his psychiatrist, he sets out to confront his fear and do his laundry in time for his meeting... only to unleash mayhem in the laundrette, and encounter something that he really SHOULD be afraid of.
"A Fantastic Fear of Everything" is a much darker movie than most of Simon Pegg's previous movies -- the comedy here can be black as charcoal, even though it is still wickedly funny. Lots of Jack lurching around in his distorted little world, frantically trying to wash and dry his underpants and socks in the stove.
Director Crispian Mills makes everything look oddly distorted and nightmarish, from the squalid, smoky darkness of Jack's apartment to the bleak laundrette. It makes a nice illustration of how weird and crazy the world looks to Jack, and Pegg's narration keeps the story flowing.
However, it's also very uneven. The first two acts are almost like a one-man show; while a few people (his agent, some singing kids) pierce Jack's haze of delusion, he's mostly lurching around and monologuing in his own head. His quest is to get fresh socks and underwear, while avoiding being arrested. Simple, except for his crippling fear and awkwardness.
But in the last act, we suddenly switch to a more conventional narrative, with a villain and a love interest to interact with. It feels like we stepped into a different movie -- one that's still connected to the first by a few plot threads, but very different in style and theme.
Simon Pegg is the reason this movie works at all -- this is an uproariously funny actor who knows how to play his comedic roles straight. Jack is both pitiable and funny. You pity him because he's clearly messed-up and miserable, but Pegg manages to make him amusing with the constant onslaught of bad luck.
"A Fantastic Fear of Everything" has a weird lopsided structure that makes you feel like a different movie shoved itself into the last half. However, the pitch-black comedy and Simon Pegg mean that it's still fairly entertaining.
4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining descent in paranoid fear and the facing of demons,
Peter Whitaker (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (Amazon Instant Video)
Jack (Simon Pegg) is a writer of children's books who wants to be taken more seriously and so develops a proposed series on Victorian killers. Unfortunately his research is so thorough that he develops a neurosis that the world outside his door is populated by such psychopaths all of whom want to kill him. When his agent sets up a meeting with a party interested in his project Jack is compelled to escape the terrifying shadows of his apartment for the even more frightening realities of the launderette and other people.
The premise is good but obviously limited, especially when Jack ventures forth, but it is sustained by a clever back-story relating to his abandonment by his mother when only a young child. This also ties him in with an active serial killer of sorts and develops Jack into a more rounded character than a psychosis riddled man stuck in a depressing flat.
The humour is definitely black with a little slapstick thrown in for good measure. Jack's descent into terror provides many opportunities for macabre humour and Simon Pegg is perfect for the role. He is ably assisted by Amara Karan as a surprise love interest, a woman who is intelligent, brave, and pretty; and also Alan Drake as Perkins.
It is an entertaining film, the kind that Hollywood generally does not make. In turns it manages to be humorous and yet also a little gritty, its' reflections of life in launderettes and on streets at night give it an edge. It also has a surreal feel that is developed by the animated story that pulls everything together at the end.
3.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, unsettling and forgettable.,
Amazon Customer "Golden Wolf" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This film undoubtedly has its problems. The plot is too thinly drawn and, resultantly, the run-time of an hour and thirty minutes is far too long to be entirely enjoyable. However, as an odd-ball comedy, I was rather taken by it. A key criticism I have noticed in other reviews is that Jack is not altogether relatable. This is true; no explanation is given as to why he has become so paranoid or obsessive. Yet I find this curious decision to be a merit, rather than an irritation. Not everything has to be handed to someone on a plate, and the audience is plunged directly into Jack's consciousness. Depending on how willing you are to invest in the film, you can either sit back and go along with the ride, or you can allow the lack of explanation to consume you.
Jack's narration was excellent: acerbic, funny, and delightfully strange. Crispian Mills had certainly taken to Robinson's style, and successfully managed to include it in Jack's inner-reason. On the other hand, much of the dialogue between the other characters was poor, treated as a necessity rather than a chance to take the comedy to its peak. I feel this disappointment was partially redeemed by the physical acting in the film: the odd looks, the faux-wooden movement and the bouts of slapstick. If you enjoy films or theatre with that underlying sense of unease, alienation and discomfort, then this will appeal to you. The setting of a launderette was inspired, as such places really do feel like no-man's-land.
Overall, I wish I could provide a better reason for why this film isn't excellent, despite my previously stated criticisms. There is something missing from it, and it's impossible to place a finger on why. The lack of plot may outrage some, but in a sense it added to the work's peculiar charm. However, while Jack cannot forget his fears, the audience will soon forget this film.

DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fantastic Fear of Everything with Official Soundtrack CD (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) [DVD] [2012] (DVD)
This is a directorial début for Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell, and looks at the irrational fears people can often have. Simon Pegg plays Jack, a disturbed children's writer who's not really at ease with the world. He's got an agent, Clair (Clare Higgins - Hellraiser [1987], The Golden Compass [2007]) who's trying to get him to write a new novel. The only problem is, Jack's life is being over ran with problems; so how could he possibly write another book?
Why is he so disturbed? He's been researching Victorian killers for his book, now he feels he's going to be killed too!
This is an interesting film, Simon Pegg as funny as ever, and the supporting cast are brilliant too. This is probably the best British movie I have seen in quite some time, probably going back as far as Made In Dagenham. The scarier bits are more farcical than scary and the flat they used for Jack's place is funny too, and you can imagine this actually happening.
The star of the film had to be the doctor played by Paul Freeman, the amusing scene in his house is one of the funniest moments in the movie. I also enjoyed watching Amara Karan (Sangeta) as the woman trying to get her washing done - hopefully she'll be getting more roles after this.
Altogether not a bad movie, hopefully when this hits DVD it'll have a documentary, hopefully an interview with Simon Pegg and some out takes.

1.0 out of 5 stars wtf,
Probably one of the worst films I have ever seen. If there is an ounce of humour in this it passed me by and no mistake. I bravely sat through the entire debacle in the hope that something comical might happen but no. Nb. I have not had a pop at those people who like this film so please respect my opinion and do not resort to name calling or other derisory remarks.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS FILM!,
This review is from: A Fantastic Fear of Everything [Blu-ray] [2012] (Blu-ray)
Well at first I hadn't heard of AFFOE (A Fantastic Fear of Everything) however i'm a huge fan of Simon Pegg and went through the Wiki page about the films he'd been in to discover this new one, so I straight away looked it up and found LOADS of negative reviews about it, WHY? honestly people these days seem to just hate on films for no reason! There was nothing wrong with this film AT ALL! It had such a creepy character for the leading roll (Jack played by Simon Pegg) which was absolutely amazing! The film itself was pure brilliance! I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen! My copy of this film came with a soundtrack which i'm so glad it did because this film has so many musical numbers which are amazing! Words honestly can't describe my love for this film, I have a new favourite! Please people, don't listen to any negative thing anyone says about this film, if you like Simon Pegg then you'll LOVE him in this! I would hope for a sequel just to continue the amazing character of Jack but that'd probs be going to far/ruining this masterpiece. Definitely giving this one 5 stars! BUY IT!

The Wolf (England) - See all my reviews
I've seen Simon Pegg in Paul and Hot Fuzz, both of which are brilliant comedies. Whilst this outing isn't up there with them, it is relatively close. Basically, Pegg plays a children's writer who has decided to write a book about a serial killer, and has become paranoid from all the research he's done for his book. He hardly ventures out of his flat, carries/sleeps with a carving knife and believes that everyone is up to no good. He also has a fear of laundrettes, but for a specific reason which is later revealed. Like all his movies there is a considerable amount of swearing in it. The best moment for me, was after super gluing the window shut, Pegg's character found out he'd super glued the carving knife to his hand, leading to a complicated situation in the laundrette. It lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and I can think of worse things to watch to fill in that time. It's just not one of his finest.

In a new first -- an episode named after a bodily function (coming in Season 7: "Piss") -- Clark comes down with a cold after exhausting himself trying to repair the damage from last week's apparently not-so-bad worldwide cataclysm. This is unusual, but signals a new power: the ability to sneeze the shit out of doors and people and papers. Clark's sneezing blows a barn door into the air and out to a field near where Lois is jogging, causing her to try to figure out why barn doors fall from the sky. (That was our collective will, Lois, trying to crush you. It didn't work.) She launches an investigation. Meanwhile, Lana moves in with Lex because her dorm is all messed up to hell. Lex is a little paranoid because somebody is following him. That somebody kidnaps him and tries to torture him to find out why he recently had superpowers. Lex doesn't remember anything about his Zod episode, and has no answers except the obvious one: aliens from another dimension. So they shoot him in the arm. Lana finds a security video of herself undressing in her new room. It makes her feel oogy. Papa Luthor enlists Clark's help to find the missing Lex. They're both worried that Lex will spill Clark's secret. Nice concern, dicks. He also threatens an ex-classmate of Lex's who has set up shop in town and is actually responsible for the kidnapping. He looks a lot like that dude from the Aquaman pilot. Wait, it is the dude from the Aquaman pilot! Chloe and Clark try to find Lex. Lana and Clark fight like it's 2002. Lana gets her dumb ass abducted while trying to find Lex herself, and she and Lex end up in a warehouse inferno. Clark saves them by converting his mighty sneeze (with Chloe's help) to a giant blow, putting out the flames. Lana, not too glad to be alive, bitches about the security cameras, and Lex says, "Don't try to change me, babe. I'm like the wind." Chloe and Clark prepare to go on a sorta date, and Clark literally parts the clouds with his purty mouth. Also, was it just my TV, or did you guys hear a big click toward the end of the episode? It was like, "CLICK!" Oh, wait...that was just the world's biggest lightswitch being flicked because Lois suddenly has decided, after having her barn door story published in The Inquisitor, that her life's ambition is to be the world's greatest journalist. Too bad she'll have to kill Chloe for that to happen.
Disaster! We open on a television showing the smoking ruins of civilization with a news broadcast calling it "Dark Thursday: The Recovery." First of all, how bad a national disaster could this be if news stations are still broadcasting and citizens still have enough electricity to watch their TVs? Also, "Dark Thursday"? Is that like "Casual Friday" but with little black tights? On the TV, a not-very-good local reporter is saying that the Pentagon is denying that there was a break-in during the disaster. In the foreground, someone is pouring coffee into a very familiar bovine-themed mug. As MamaKent sips her coffee, the woman on the news says that the national recovery will take years, but that the recovery in Metropolis has been remarkably swift.
Speaking of remarkably swift, Clark superzips across the farm and enters through the front door. MamaKent asks whether Clark has been out all night. "I can't do what I need to do in the daylight," he says glumly. Dirty! MamaKent says she knows that he wants to help, but he can't single-handedly rebuild everything that's been destroyed. What if he uses both hands? Clark says that it's his mess, and that he needs to clean it up. MamaKent tells him that he's not responsible for what happened. Except for the part where he summoned the Dogs of Hell, of course. MamaKent says that it's Zod's fault. Stupid Zod! Clark looks at her like he's been slapped, and stiffly says that Zod would not have been released if he'd listened to Jarnelle for once. Stupid Jarnelle! And, uh, stupid Clark for not listening to stupid Jarnelle! Yeah! Stupids! "I have chores to do," Clark says, all mopey. Oh, poor you, Clark. At least your house didn't get destroyed. Clark looks winded. He leans on the kitchen table and somehow doesn't break it. MamaKent asks if he's all right. Clark hesitates, and then says he's fine. MamaKent says that she's never seen Clark this worn out, and that even he has his limits. We've seen him plenty worn out whenever there happens to be a green rock around. MamaKent says that Clark's chores can wait. "Really, I'm fine," Clark mumbles, before going outside.
The Barnness of Toilitude. Clark is hammering nails to build a set of stairs, but using his hands as the hammer. He breathes heavily and doesn't seem to be doing it right. He's also sweaty. Sudden close-up. Clark's face twitches. His nose wiggles. My God: he's having a Big Mac Attack! Quick! Get him two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun! No, wait, it's just a sneeze. But it blows the barn doors right the fuck off their hinges, sending them flying! What mighty snot hath torn the world asunder? Clark stares at the open frame where the doors used to be, wide-eyed. Er...Gesundheit?

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a day – interviewed at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in June 2010.
I was presented to the Office of General Counsel at CHOP as a candidate for a paralegal position. The position currently consists of supporting three attorneys, but another paralegal is expected to be hired when a fourth attorney arrives in about a month. The process was pretty quick for me because someone had started the position and left after a couple of days.

1. From this viewpoint, the talk from the competition committee this week about potentially outlawing the unbalanced line that flummoxed the Ravens in the divisional playoff contest tastes distinctly like sour grapes. But then again, it's really nothing new: Almost a dozen years after Bill Polian and the Colts griped to the league about New England's defensive tactics in the 2003 AFC postseason, the rest of the NFL is again trying to squeeze New England. This time, it's a proposed rules change that would state, in part, if a player declares ineligible and lines up outside the tackle, he will be penalized 5 yards for illegal formation. Rams coach Jeff Fisher, a member of the competition committee, said this week when asked about the tactic, "Unless we had some guidelines in place, this thing may get out of hand." But it's no coincidence the Ravens web site took great relish in pointing out that the competition committee would be looking at the "ineligible receiver trick" performed by the Patriots this week at the league meetings. Baltimore clearly has its fingerprints all over this proposal, and as a result, it will be interesting to see if there's any fallout between the two teams from what happened in the playoffs. Despite some occasional asides between players, the two franchises have always maintained a healthy respect for each other, with Bill Belichick and John Harbaugh professing their admiration for each other on several occasions. That wasn't always the case between the Colts and Patriots, particularly when Polian was in charge in Indy. (It's no coincidence that since he's been in charge of the Patriots, the Colts are one of the few teams Belichick has never made a trade with.) Regardless of who might get their feelings hurt. if you're a Patriots fan, it's important to note that the year after the new rules were in place, New England ended up finishing off the second-half of back-to-back championships. We've said several times over the last six months that the 2014 Patriots were very reminiscent of the 2003 team, right down to the Super Bowl title. Now, the current edition has its own opportunity to overcome a rules-based roadblock instituted by a deposed conference rival. Only time will tell how New England responds.
2. Speaking of rules changes, the Patriots pushed for a few last year, and appear to be interested in doing the same thing again this week. There's the idea of having cameras on the goal line — something Bill Belichick has been an advocate for (at least publicly) for nearly 10 years. (Asked last year how the league would pay for the additional technology, Belichick shrugged. "Maybe we could have a bake sale. Raise some money for the cameras. Do a car wash.") And then, there's the idea that every play should be reviewable. Belichick talked about his reasoning for the idea at last year's meetings Orlando. "I'm not proposing more challenges. All I'm saying is, as a coach, if you want to challenge a play, I think you should be able to challenge it," he said flatly. "And why does it have to be limited to, I don't know, there's four or five pages in the rules book of plays that can be challenged, and now this year there are more proposals to amend that probably because of one or two plays that happened in the league last year. I think eventually, each year, there's going to be some other circumstance, situation that comes up and we're going to want to add that. I mean it's four to five pages of plays that challenge procedure. Every year it gets amended and it's hard to keep it straight."
3. In addition to the proposed rules changes, some other interesting league matters are also on the docket at the league meetings this week, including the annual announcement of compensatory picks. The league uses an abstract formula to determine compensatory picks, one that includes total free agents gained and lost the previous offseason, as well as how those players performed with their new teams. A team can receive a maximum of four picks, and they could fall anywhere between the end of the third round and the end of the seventh round. Last year, the Patriots received one compensatory pick, a fourth-rounder. Going forward, New England might be in line for at least one more pick: Last offseason, New England lost a host of players in free agency, including running back LeGarrette Blount, linebackers Brandon Spikes and Dane Fletcher and cornerback Aqib Talib. However, the Patriots also gained cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. (For those of you who might think compensatory picks are relatively small potatoes, it's worth reminding folks that quarterback Tom Brady was selected with a compensatory pick in the 2000 draft.)
4. While there's been a ton of movement when it comes to the names at the top of the Patriots' own free-agent board, it's been relatively quiet for three of their remaining free agents. While New England has retained Devin McCourty, but lost Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Vince Wilfork and Shane Vereen (among others), offensive lineman Dan Connolly, running back Stevan Ridley and long snapper Danny Aiken are all in holding patterns, at least at this point. According to our pal Ian Rapoport, Connolly has had some suitors, but nothing has developed. In addition, other than an occasional Twitter or Instagram post here and there, things are quiet around Ridley, who continues to work his way back from an October knee injury. (His name has been mentioned in connection with a running back opening in Dallas — it would certainly make sense for a Cowboys team that wouldn't likely pay him more than a one-year "show-me" deal because of the knee problem. He'd also likely get plenty of chances to win the job of No. 1 back with DeMarco Murray now out of the picture.) And while league sources say Aiken would like to return to Foxboro, he could see how the market develops for specialists as the spring continues.
5. Despite the fact that they have every member of their receiving corps slated to return in 2015 — and are expected to get Aaron Dobson back after a season-ending injury — the Patriots attempted courtship of free agent wide receiver Stevie Johnson is an indication they're still interested in continuing to build depth at the receiver spot and create some competition at the position going into next season. As a result, it wouldn't be a surprise to see them go after one of the veteran receivers still on the market as a way to augment what the Patriots already have. From this viewpoint, there are a handful of names out there who New England might be inclined to kick the tires on, including Hakeem Nicks, Reggie Wayne and Greg Jennings. (We broke down Nicks as a possible addition for the Patriots here, while we've also been a supporter of Wayne in the past.) None of this is to suggest that any one of them would be able to be a dominant pass catcher with New England — only that it might be worth considering them as possibilities as depth additions for a team interested in bolstering its depth between now and the start of training camp.
6. One of the biggest takeaways from the Jabaal Sheard conference call with reporters on Friday was the fact that he was familiar with the Patriots as a result of the pre-draft process in 2011. He described his trip to Foxboro as a college prospect, and he touched on the getting-to-know-you process that almost all players of that age go through in that situation. It should serve as a reminder that not all pre-draft visits are about gauging the worth of the player as a prospect who could help out immediately, but also as intel for a possible free-agent scenario. Ultimately, just because a player comes through on a visit doesn't mean that the Patriots are going to chase after them come draft weekend. Instead, the information gleaned from that sit-down can come in handy down the road when it comes to deciding what sort of talents they could eventually bring to the system if they become available later in their careers as a free agent.
7. On paper, there are a lot of really good young teams who have done well building their roster through the initial stages of free agency, but still have some questions at the quarterback position. From this viewpoint, one of the reasons those teams who are continuing to build through the draft and free agency might be content to sit and wait with a "placeholder" at quarterback for 2015 is that there could be an impressive group of signal-callers on the market next spring. While some have options and some are reportedly continuing to negotiate new deals with their current teams, it's a staggering list that includes Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, San Bradford, Cam Newton, Nick Foles, Ryan Tannehill and Robert Griffin III. (Ben Roethlisberger was also part of this list before he recently re-upped with the Steelers.) Some of them will inevitably be signed to new contracts between now and March — and it will be interesting to see how much each one of them gets from their team as the market continues to set itself. But in a quarterback-driven league, there are plenty of teams who might be content to sit and wait with a journeyman at quarterback this year while banking on making a run at a marquee sign-caller next spring as the final piece of the puzzle.
8. With the offseason in full swing, here's a look at some key upcoming dates on the calendar, as viewed through a New England prism:
Sunday: The second day of a two-day veterans combine, the first such get-together of its kind, held in Arizona. Several former Patriots received an invite in hopes of landing a new gig, including defensive lineman Marcus Forston and quarterbacks Mike Kafka and Zac Robinson.
Sunday-Wednesday: Annual Meeting, Phoenix, Arizona. One of the first times in the offseason Belichick and owner Robert Kraft address the media. If they do speak with reporters, expect them to be quizzed about a number if topics, including the free agent losses of Revis, Browner and Vince Wilfork.
April 6: Clubs that hired a new head coach after the end of the 2014 regular season may begin offseason workout programs.
April 20: Clubs with returning head coaches may begin offseason workout programs. This is usually around the time when the Patriots have media availability with veterans who might be in the area.
April 30-May 2: 2014 NFL Draft, Chicago. Expect a few Patriots execs to make the trip to Chicago for the draft, but as always, the majority of the front office will stick in Foxboro.
9. The list of notable pro days for the upcoming week — Monday: Iowa, North Carolina State. Tuesday: Iowa State, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas. Wednesday: Duke, Kansas, Nevada, Rice, SMU, South Dakota State, Tennessee. Thursday: Houston, Tulane, Utah. Friday: BYU, LSU, TCU.
10. Two of the nicer guys in the New England locker room received hometown this week, as Malcolm Butler and Jonas Gray received some hometown kudos. Butler, the Super Bowl hero who is continuing a whirlwind offseason, was feted with a "Malcolm Butler Day" at his alma mater, the University of West Alabama. (Butler, who has appeared at the Grammys and Disneyland, also got a hometown parade in Vicksburg, Miss., last month.) Meanwhile, Gray received the key to the city in Pontiac, Mich., this past week. Gray took to Instagram to record his feelings: "Speechless…A young kid who grew up with a single mom in the inner city with big dreams! One of those achievements in my life that truly no one can ever take away from me and my family. The KEY to the City Of #Pontiac. Born and raised here and will continue to put the city on the map! Happy I was able to share it with my two best friends."
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2015 NFL draft. Here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Outside linebacker
School: Florida
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 277 pounds
Achievements: 2014 All-America second team, 2014 All-SEC first team, 2014 team MVP, 2013 All-SEC second team, College Football News All-Sophomore team, 2012 SEC All-Freshman first team
What he brings: Fowler has experience playing multiple positions and filling various roles, and he was successful doing all of them. Scouts note his ability to use his size and bulk to shed blockers, as well as his athleticism, which helps him in run defense. Some experts and scouts are concerned that he will take some time adjusting to whatever role he is given in the NFL, but versatility is considered one of his strengths and he is expected to settle in and become very effective. An AFC East scout told NFL.com that Fowler will be "way better in his pros than what he is now."
Where the Patriots could get him: Round 1
Notes: Fowler finished his 2014 junior season with 57 tackles and 5.5 sacks. CBSSports.com lists him as the top outside linebacker and fourth overall in the draft. He did not miss a game in college.

Position: Center
School: Florida State
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 308 pounds
Achievements: 2014 Jacobs Blocking Trophy for best blocker in ACC, All-ACC, 2013 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, 2013 All-America first team, 2013 All-ACC first team
What he brings: Erving is seen as one of the best run blockers in the draft, but scouts are not as impressed with his ability to protect the pass. He started his career as a tackle and switched to center in the middle of the 2014 season. He is considered very athletic for his size and has the ability to make blocks in the second level. However, there are concerns that his legs are not as strong as his upper body, which could hinder his ability to handle quick, strong defensive linemen.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: ESPN.com ranks Erving as the best center and 20th overall in the draft. He missed the 2010 season with a back injury but started every game his last two seasons with the Seminoles.

Scott Chandler knows the situation he's in coming to Foxboro. He leaves Buffalo where he was clearly the best pass-catching tight end in the Bills' offense and comes to New England where he will be the second-most recognizable tight end behind Rob Gronkowski.
During a conference call Friday, Chandler called Bill Belichick a straight shooter.
Did Belichick lay out to him what it will mean to be the second tight end in a potent offense behind Rob Gronkowski?
"We didn't get into that too terribly much," Chandler said. "I think what I want to do is be part of a team that's a winning team. Whatever that role that the coaches define for me there, I want to do whatever I can to help the team win.
"I've talked to Rob on the field after games and that's about it. I'm sure we'll get to know each other and get along well. He seems like a fun guy to be around. Obviously he's a great player. I'm looking forward to being able to learn from him and watch him do his thing. He's pretty fun to watch."
Chandler, like Gronk, is a tall tight end, at 6-foot-7, and – like Gronk – could provide more blocking along the offensive line as he has developed that part of his game.
"I think it's one of those things that it can be tough, but I've been dealing with it for a while now," Chandler added. "You learn to sink or swim pretty quick in this league. You want to do whatever you can to get low and stay low. It's hard, but you learn how to deal with it because if you can't get the job done, they're going to find someone else."
Chandler, who signed a two-year, $5.3 million contract on March 13, will be more than happy to make some personal sacrifices to attain more team glory. In five non-playoff seasons in Buffalo, Chandler caught 17 touchdowns, including 28 catches on 42 targets and four touchdowns in nine games against the Patriots.
"I think you go into a game just wanting to do what it takes for your team to win and sometimes that means catching the ball and sometimes that means blocking well," Chandler said. "I've probably had games that I didn't have very good stats, but they were some of my better games throughout my career. It just so happened that in those games I needed to catch the ball a little bit and I was able to do that."
Belichick can trust that Chandler has been taught well. Before playing for the Bills, he played his college ball under Belichick's good friend and Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz.
"Coach Ferentz had a big impact; just getting a different type of coach than I had in high school," Chandler said. "In high school we were running the spread offense and throwing the ball every play and you get to Coach Ferentz and he runs a very pro-type program there. You're laid out what's expected of you and you're expected to carry that out. If you're not, you're not going to play. I really appreciate that approach. He tells you what you need to do to get on the field. I was able to go there and have a successful career. Obviously he's built a great program there. I know he and Coach [Bill] Belichick have a lot in common in the way they approach coaching. I'm excited to get in and deal with Coach Belichick."
Chandler explained how the relationship between Ferentz and Belichick might help him in New England.
"I think Coach Belichick is a real straightforward guy," Chandler said. "I haven't had too much interaction with him, but from what I've heard, he's just a guy who is going to tell it like it is. That's an approach that after bouncing around and sometimes you have guys who beat around the bush and don't tell you really what's going on, but Coach Belichick seems to do that. That's an approach that you can appreciate as a vet."
By all reports, the battle for free agent Chandler came down to the Ravens and Patriots. Chandler said Friday he was pretty much in a no-lose situation.
"I think I was a in a pretty good spot," he said. "They're two really good organizations. That's really what it came down to. I've been playing for a while and I wanted to be a part of an organization that has a pretty good chance to win. Mr. Kraft has done an amazing job of not only creating that ' and Coach Belichick has a pretty big hand in that ' not only creating it, but sustaining it for a long period of time. I'm looking forward to going into this year and doing whatever I can to be a part of that.
"I think that comes down to the organization that Mr. [Robert] Kraft has set up here. It's been a top-flight organization since I've been playing for sure, and longer than that. I think that was a big factor, was just going to a good organization.
"I think if you get into those kind of things, you end up making this game more about you and really it's about the team. I just want to come in and do what I can to be a part of the Patriot culture and just do my part. I don't really want to get into those feelings of vengeance or anything because they're not really there for me. I had a great five years in Buffalo and it's time for me to be a Patriot now."
He signed as a free agent with the Patriots last week, but Jabaal Sheard has been on New England's radar for a long time.
The Patriots' interest in the edge rusher dates back to 2011 when he was coming out of college. That's when he took a visit with New England, and in that time, he was struck by how the Patriots handled their business.
"It was real business-like, real focused; you could tell that it was going to be all business once you get there," he said Friday on a conference call with reporters. "I mean, it was a bit nerve-wrecking, I can't lie. I was a bit nervous."
That previous visit — combined with Sheard's background with former Browns GM Mike Lombardi, who is now with the Patriots — set the stage nicely for him signing with New England earlier this month as a free agent.
Sheard, who also drew interest from Seattle and Tampa Bay, said his stint with Lombardi "definitely" play a role in his new deal with the Patriots.
"I think that was huge. I think that's what got New England interested in me right away," Sheard said. "Obviously, he believed in me coming out as a rookie into the league and seeing what I could do. I think that's going to translate to this year."
One thing the Patriots hope translates is an ability to consistently get after the quarterback. Sheard's pass rush numbers have dipped every year he's been in the league, going from 8.5 sacks as a rookie in 2011 to two last year. Sheard pulled no punches when asked to assess his game the last few years: It wasn't a switch in Cleveland's scheme or injury, but his own level of execution.
"It was just me not executing, me not sticking to the game plan," he said. "But I'm more focused; I'm hungrier than I've ever been. Like I said, I look forward to getting with these coaches and learning new things. Pass rushing is about learning new things, getting comfortable and coaches helping you out along the way. I just can't wait to get started."
The 25-year-old Sheard has played both outside linebacker and defensive end, and said Friday he feels like he "can play anywhere up front."
He added: "I think my main strength is knocking guys back and creating penetration in the line of scrimmage, ultimately stopping the run and being a big factor there and getting after the quarterback or dropping, whatever else may come with it. Ultimately my strength, personally I think, is knocking guys back and creating penetration."
Sheard is also looking forward to enjoying a level of consistency in New England that wasn't necessarily there in Cleveland.
"I envision that they have some great plan for me, just knowing the system that they run," he said of the Patriots coaching staff. "I've been around three different systems in my last three years so I'm ready for whatever. I'm always ready to embrace something new and something different and I'm up for the challenge, whatever it is."
"I definitely look forward to working with Chandler [Jones] and Rob [Ninkovich]. Those guys are definitely excited, just talking to them a little bit. I think we'll make a nice three-[man] tandem. We'll get after guys and create a lot of [havoc] in the backfield and on quarterbacks."

Position: Wide receiver
School: Arizona State
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 215 pounds
Achievements: 2014 All-Pac-12 first team, 2014 ESPN All-American, 2014 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist for best receiver, 2013 All-Pac-12 first team
What he brings: Scouts are impressed with Strong's ability to fight off defenders and pull down contested balls. He has shown a very good all-around game, but there are some concerns about his acceleration and ability to create separation. Via NFL.com, an NFC West scout said, "[Strong]'s not going to run fast, but it won't matter because any team that drafts him is going to have a plan for him."
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: Strong had 82 receptions totaling 1,165 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior for the Sun Devils in 2014. ESPN has him ranked as the sixth receiver and 30th overall player in the draft. His father, John Rankin, was a star basketball player at Drexel who died from leukemia when Strong was 9. Overall, scouts and experts agree that he has the potential to be a star in the NFL but has to work on some aspects of his game in order to reach that point.

Position: Defensive end
School: Kentucky
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 269 pounds
Achievements: 2014 All-SEC first team, 2013 All-SEC second team
What he brings: Dupree is a leader off the field and, per NFL.com, scouts give him a plus grade for character. He is very athletic, locates the ball quickly and is passionate in his pursuit, according to CBS Sports. He is capable of changing his rush moves and tricks opponents with one speed before bursting out to create big plays.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: Dupree was a team captain in 2014 and started in all his four years at Kentucky. His results in the combine earned him top-performer status as he posted a 4.56 40-yard dash, 42-inch vertical jump and 11-foot, 6-inch broad jump, which is the third best of any outside linebacker at the combine since 2003. The Irwinton, Georgia, native departs from Kentucky with 23.5 total sacks, good for second best in school history. He had 7.5 sacks as a senior.

In the Aaron Hernandez trial on Thursday, a woman who had been dancing with Hernandez in Rumor nightclub two nights prior to the killing of Odin Lloyd offered her testimony. Lloyd was with the former NFLer that night and prosecutors have said that Hernandez let the club angry.
The woman, Kasey Arma, said that she had seen Hernandez about a half-dozen times prior to that evening and that he attempted to get her attention by tapping on her hip. After first ignoring him, she then turned to talk to him. He introduced himself as Rock and asked to dance with her. They did for 5-10 minutes before Hernandez left in the middle of the song, telling her he would be right back.
According to Arma, when Hernandez came back roughly 10 minutes later, he was acting much differently than he had before. She said he was being more aggressive, that he brought her next to the main door and told her to dance.
"His whole demeanor was just very different: very on edge, aggressive and kind of arrogant," she said.
Hernandez's lawyers played a video of the two dancing by the doorway, in which they talked every so often and then parted ways. Arma said that he was being too aggressive so she didn't want to dance with him anymore, and after being questioned by defense lawyer Michael Fee, she said that she did not like him after that night and had been talking to him to pump up her ego. She cited his arrogance specifically as something she took issue with.
In addition, another of Hernandez's lawyers, James Sultan, went after the footprint evidence in the case that had been presented days before, asking how it was collected and matched with Hernandez's shoes from that night. Massachusetts State Police Lt. Steven Bennett had said that the footprint found at the scene matched the print of the shoe Hernandez was wearing. He also said that he knew a colleague wanted him to link the print with the ex-Patriot before he made the match.
