The New England Patriots cornerback is sparking another national headline for a franchise that doesn't need one. Here's why it's much ado about nothing.
Here's the scoop. Per the Herald's Jeff Howe, Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler's flight back to New England was delayed due to weather and he was late to the first organized team activity (OTA) on May 26th. As a sort of punishment for being late, Bill Belichick withheld Butler from participating in field workouts until, according to the Globe's Shalise Manza Young, he was allowed back on the field this week.
