Matthew Slater’s official job title with Patriots revealed
Matthew Slater’s new job title on the New England Patriots’ coaching staff has officially been revealed. According to the team’s official website, Slater will be serving as a special assistant to the head coach. Back in June, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo was asked what Slater would be doing on the coaching staff, and he said the former 10-time Pro Bowler would be doing “everything.” “At this level it’s hard to find people who will tell you the truth, and he’ll tell you how it is,” said Mayo, when commenting on Slater, per 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Alex Barth. Slater still being connected to the team in any form should be considered a win for the Patriots. He’s one of the greatest players in franchise history and a future Hall of Famer. His locker room leadership would have been greatly missed after retirement. Mayo will need all of the help he can get righting the ship for a team that finished 4-13 last season. Slater is one of the coaches close enough to him to be a direct sounding board and ultimately help get the team back on track.

From North of The Border
Canadian Brass brought what will probably the most toe tappers ever per show to the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, combining classical and popular rep with their signature hammy aesthetic. Overheard attendees opined: “This is a fun concert” both at intermission and after its conclusion. Those packed into the Shalin Liu Performance Center on last Tuesday knew it would be different from the beginning when the soft shuffle of tuba and trombone came rolling out from the lobby. Presently the whole band was processing from the rear of the hall to the stage—jazz funeral style—while playing a cool rendition of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”…pun probably intended. Once on stage, they launched into a hot jazz variation of the same tune, complete with both musical and actual sparks. Lead trumpeter Joe Burgstaller explained they always like to start with an encore, just in case they don’t get to it later (though that would not be a problem for them on that night).
