Or perhaps it was a footnote that just happened to hang at the top of the page instead of the bottom.But whatever it was, rookie quarterback Malik Cunningham taking snaps from David Andrews at the start of team periods was no accident.After 20 minutes of warmups and fundamental drills, the Patriots broke into their first 11-on-11 period of a shorts-and-shells practice. Cunningham, who electrified the Pats offense late in the preseason opener with his lightning quickness and speed, dropped under center to begin work against the starting defense. Then, thunder rolled in the distance.Bill Belichick blew his whistle, hustled the team off the field before real lightning could strike and trotted into the safety of Gillette Stadium. Thirty minutes passed, players and coaches reconvened under sunny skies, and Cunningham took over again.He made a couple hand-offs, ...

A search warrant tied the raids by Marion police, led Friday morning by Chief Gideon Cody, to a dispute between the newspaper and a local restaurant owner, Kari Newell. She is accusing the newspaper of invading her p...
