Team owner Bob Kraft and president Jonathan Kraft are on the field, as well as vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli. Boston mayor Tom Menino and his wife, Angela, are also with the Krafts.

With about 25 minutes until kickoff, he players left the field.

The stadium is only about 1/3 full. Peyton Manning's Sprint commercial just played on the video boards. Honestly, we're not even through kickoff weekend and I'm sick of seeing that guy already. I was watching the Steelers-Dolphins game the other night and felt like I saw him more than I saw Bill Cowher or Nick Saban. Enough already...
