I am pretty sure there aren't any New England Patriots using cell phones at half time, maybe I am wrong.
In the olden days, his brother would have called the office and in this case there would have been a note to call his brother, and he would have likely left to go to an office phone and check if everything was ok, since calling during the game would be highly unusual.

Having a cell phone simply made it an easier resolution.

I just think Jay is/was too caught up in his slap dick passing game, his 3 by one formations and what not. Meanwhile Kyle's running the I formation that Gruden publicly crapped on and is running for 260 freakin yards, with a fullback.

I read where a lot of teams have guys leave their cell phones in the hall before they enter meeting rooms. What meeting is more important than half time in a locker room?

I realize I am old school, I played the game through college back in the day when screwing up got you running extra laps, wind sprints, yanked around by the face mask, hit in the helmet with clip boards, footballs thrown at you, etc,etc. When I was in High School the O-line coach was built like Arnold Swarzenegger, if you were caught not paying attention in practice he would pancake your ass and he was in shorts and a golf shirt. The logic there was you would get it a lot worse if you were on the field and had your head up your ass.
If caught not paying attention to a coach the consequences were not pretty.

My favorite guy to listen to on the radio is Doc Walker, he shares a lot of my views. I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact we are the same age,ha,ha. I just think things have gone too far the other way when it comes to discipline.
