Chat with Globe columnist Bob Ryan at noon

Boston.com -  Hi folks, Bob is just about ready to go, so bring on those Patriots questions, and anything else on your mind.

I know after week one players that are signed that the contract isnt guaranteed . Do you think the Patriots have players they are looking to sign? Maybe a back up QB
11:58
Bob Ryan -           I've thought all along that the official back-up QB would be Mr X, who isn't here yet. Cutting it a little close, aren't we? I can't believe Coach Bill will have Brian Hoyer, and only Brian Hoyer, standing between Tom Brady and direct snapping to Kevin Faulk.

What's the latest on Brace? I would think Buffalo is a good starter for him because of the weak O-line but is he ready? Tell me what you see.
11:59
Bob Ryan -           The latest? They like him. He's backing up Vince Wilfork. He's a kid, albeit a very large one. Can't project how much he'll play.

Love your work, Bob. Granted that the games were against the sinking Rays, there's gotta be some optimism with how well Beckett, Buchholz, and Lester pitched. I'd take our three over any other three starters (from one team) in the AL right now. Thoughts?
12:03
Bob Ryan -             It's a very fluid situation. Right now, based on the most recent results, I'm very comfortable wityh Lester, pretty comfortable with Bucholz, and still worried about Beckett, who does, however, have that glittering post-season resume. We know the Yankees are very concerned about Burnett. Verlander may be the scariest starter of 'em all when the playoffs come, but the rest of Detroit's rotation is manageable. The Angels have a bunch of number twos, threes and fours, unless you consoider Lackey a certified ace.  Don't need to remind you that the Red Sox aren't exactly awed by him, do I? So you may be right.

Hey Bob, what do you think of ESPNboston?
12:04
Bob Ryan -         They stole Mike Reiss from us, so they seem to know personnel. Too soon to know anything other than that.

Love these chats...you must have one of the best jobs in the world! With Ray Allen wanting a extension I would think the Celtics would be crazy to give him many years at his age. Aren't there some great players they can pick up the summer of 2010 and who do you think they might be able to sign?
