FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Two days after laying out his quarterback plan, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick scoffed at a question Friday morning about whether Jimmy Garoppolo could remain the starter upon Tom Bradys return from a four-game suspension.Jesus Christ, Belichick said softly, clearly annoyed at the question.The topic was initially broached by a reporter asking Belichick if he had ever been part of a situation where in July he named a starter for the fifth week of the season.I dont know, Belichick responded.At that point, the same reporter asked Belichick what would happen if Garoppolo plays better.Look, I told you whats going to happen, Belichick said.Belichick said Wednesday that the Patriots have some definition with Toms situation, referring to the star quarterback missing the first four games while serving his Deflategate suspension.Our priority now then is to get Jimmy ready for the start of the season, for the Arizona game [Sept. 11], Belichick said. So thatll be obviously a comprehensive process. Tom will return as the starting quarterback when he comes back. But in the meantime, we have to prioritize the first part of our schedule and thatll be to get Jimmy ready to go. Custom Kerry Wood Jersey .

The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Kerry Wood Jersey Large . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Carlos Zambrano Jersey Large . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. CHICAGO -- Michael Conforto is hoping a short stay in Las Vegas turns into a strong finish with the New York Mets.Conforto rejoined the Mets before the start of a three-game series against the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs. The 10th overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft was recalled when Brandon Nimmo, another young outfielder, was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas after Sundays 5-0 win at Philadelphia.Also Monday, Mets right-hander Matt Harvey had season-ending thoracic outlet surgery in St. Louis. Harvey finishes the year with a 4-10 record and a 4.86 ERA after going 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA in 2015.The 23-year-old Conforto made his major league debut last year and hit .270 with nine homers and 26 RBI in 56 games, helping the Mets win the NL East and make it all the way to the World Series. He then homered twice in Game 4 against Kansas City.Conforto was expected to be a key contributor this year and got off to a nice start. But he was sent down on June 25 after a prolonged slump.It was a very productive couple of weeks, 16 games or so, Conforto said. I think there was a period of obviously being upset and youve got to go through that. As soon as I turned it into an opportunity to work on some things, to get some things done and take a look at what happened over the course of the prior couple months, I think I really look a couple big steps forward.Conforto hit .344 with three homers in 16 games with Las Vegas, earning a quick return to the majors. He pinch hit in the ninth inning of New Yorks 5-1 loss on Monday night and reached on an opposite-field single to left.I think its a testament to what Ive been working on, he said. Ive been trying to use the whole field like I did last year and earlier in the year. So I think its definitely a product of the things Ive been working on.Manager Terry Collins mentioned Conforto, Juan Lagares aand Curtis Granderson as possible options in center after Yoenis Cespedes told reporters over the weekend he would prefer to stay in left for the rest of the year.dddddddddddd. Cespedes, who leads the team with 21 homers and 52 RBI, has been hampered recently by a strained right quadriceps.Cespedes was in left for the series opener against the Cubs. He cut down Willson Contreras with a perfect throw to the plate in the third, but also committed an ugly error when Albert Almora Jr.s single skipped by him in the eighth.Collins said he thought Cespedes was being cautious in the field and it could affect his plans to play him in center on Tuesday.Im going to certainly talk to him in the morning or when he gets here tomorrow, Collins said.Speaking before the game, Collins made it sound as if he planned to keep Cespedes in left for most of the remaining part of the season.Weve got to keep him in the lineup, Collins said. I think were taxing his body pretty heavily by putting him into center field. We need him to hit and we need him to hit a lot. I just think if hes in left field, where hes comfortable and wheres theres not as much emphasis on the defensive side, that hell go back and do what we hope he can do and thats being a big production guy.Conforto said he thinks his last game in center was in college at Oregon State. But he said he was ready to play wherever Collins puts him.We had a conversation today about that, Conforto said. I know I havent played there in pro ball. But if the team needs me there, Im going to do whatever I can to prepare myself to play as well as I can there.---AP freelance writer Mike Cranston contributed to this report.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
