Curran told Fitzy and Hart earlier this week that he has heard from knowledgeable people that they are surprised that a Bill O'Brien return to the Patriots isn't in the works or a done deal already. But when talking at the Sugar Bowl, Bill O'Brien says he hasn't talked to anyone in New England since last April... Fitzy and Hart react.
