The Patriots and linebacker Adalius Thomas have not been in contact since the end of the season, and after yesterday, that seems certain not to change. In an interview with 98.5 The Sports Hub, Thomas reiterated that he does not believe he will remain with the Patriots and disclosed the source of tension that disintegrated his relationship with coach Bill Belichick. Against the Bills, Thomas played his first game at outside linebacker, a new position, after a broken arm ended his 2008 season early. Thomas and Belichick met the day after the game, and that is when their relationship began to fall apart.
A woman who says she was raped by football star Michael Irvin at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino filed a civil lawsuit against him on Thursday in Broward Circuit Court.

The woman said the attack happened in 2007, in the late hours of July 4 or early July 5. The suit doesn't name the woman, referring to her as Jane Doe. Irvin's lawyer, Larry Friedman, called the accusations "totally untrue."
