Happy for KT. It just goes to show though, you have to play in markets like NY and Boston to make it big. If Thompkins went to the Kansas City Chiefs you would have never heard about his 2 TD's.

Perhaps if Kansas City was as successful as NE over the last decade, the publicity would be there, it is not markets, it is success and Brady has been pretty successful. If NE stunk, there would be no publicity.

Disagree. The Jets are the shining example of this. They have been bad for several years but garner more coverage than any other program on ESPN.

1) They're located in New York and 2) Tim Tebow was traded there. It was the perfect storm of unjustified publicity.

Yes, but do you really think Kenbrell would have actually succeeded with the Jets and that offense?

Also "Bad for several years" is not at all accurate when describing the Jets. The Jets were bad last year. Two years ago they went 9-7 just missing the playoffs. 3 years ago they made the AFC Championship. 4 years ago they made the AFC Championship.

Too funny not to share

Coach Jones prolly marinating with false stories to tell the his team about KT tomorrow lol

Did anybody notice the Patriot offensive introductions that Thompkins listed his high school and not UC?

I did. It was a little disappointing...It is always nice to have the pub.

KT did make some unbelievable catches last night though. Good for him!

I am very happy to see kembrell accomplishing already some unbelievable things for being an undrafted free agent only in his first year. I never saw him complain or not work as hard even though he wasnt targeted as much as he should have been here at UC. Jones offense does not make the wide receivers look too good. Or maybe he didn't trust munchie with throwing over the middle a lot. Either way congrats for KT

The 4 letter keeps referring to him as a Cincinnati product. At least we are receiving a little pub.

Solly had better look out. Lance might rip on him again.

Last night during the game broadcast there were several graphics after his catches that showed Cincinnati as his school and Cris Collinsworth heaped all kinds of praise on him every time the ball went in his direction. I'm really happy for KT and UC for the pub he's generating.

Well it looks like Thompkins just caught the winning touchdown for New England.

Just saw that on the highlights

Guess I don't understand... KT seems to be doing a great job up there but Brady seems to look for him less than the other receivers. Maybe it's the design of their passing game but it sure seems KT makes big plays most week but still doesn't look to be a go to guy in NE. Absolutely great that he's having this kind of success tho.

i think it's probably a match up issue. Haven't seen too much of the game tape but KT is probably the best WR on a consistent basis (given Amendola gets hurt every 10 mins or so) and probably draws the tougher assignments on D. Just a thought.
