FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- During his two-year retirement from the New England Patriots, veteran offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia enjoyed the lifestyle. Yes, he kept tabs on the team, but there were limits.
“It wasn’t like I was glued to it. If it was on, and I was in there, I’d watch it. Quite honestly, the night games, I ain’t making it past the second quarter,” he said Monday. “There’s no way -- starts too late and goes too long. I can’t do that.”
He’s back in now.
In one of the more important Patriots moves of the offseason, the club brought the 68-year-old Scarnecchia back.
