Patriots Blog: Price Active, What That Means For Ocho?

OAKLAND, CA (CBS) -Sunday could be the first time we see the Patriots give up on the Chad Ochocinco experiment.

As of right now Taylor Price is active.  If he plays, he will absolutely take catches away from Chad.

Taylor understands the offense and when active, he has been a strong member of the squad.  If you see a comfort level develop between Taylor and Tom Brady, then this thing with Chad could end pretty quickly.

Pretty good weather here in Oakland.  At game time, it is supposed to be 60 degrees and beautiful.

Just as reported earlier in the week, the Raiders have re-sodded the field, so there are no remnants of the baseball field.

The national anthem is being done by Brian McKnight and we are being told that Magic Johnson is going to be in the house (he tweeted that he is going to be here).

McKnight just finished practicing the national anthem and he was very good.  Much better than Fergie.

Early Morning Oakland

At about 6:30am local time here in Oakland we arrived at the stadium to do our morning show.

The stadium was empty but there were already people lined up in full costume, drinking their "morning beverages".

These fans are out of hand, but I do love the enthusiasm.

Listen to the Patriots-Raiders game on 98.5 The Sports Hub or tune in to the action on WBZ-TV. After the game, tune in to the Postgame show on 98.5, and to Patriots Fifth Quarter on TV38.
