A few weeks ago, I questioned Bill Belichick’s decision to keep Matt Cassel as quarterback of the New England Patriots. As if there needs to be any proof that Bill Belichick knows way more about football than me, I was clearly wrong. Cassel has shown himself to be more than ready to lead an NFL [...]
Apparently, Tommy is back in Foxboro rehabbing his mutilated knee and working out with his teammates.
It’s been hard to figure out exactly what has been going on with Brady since the hit that took out his knee at about 5 milliseconds into the football season this year. Surgery for the damage, of course, but [...]
You know I love the Patriots. I have been a season ticket holder for a long time and from the last weeks of August to the first weeks of February every year my life somewhat revolves around watching my Pats play football. But after last night’s performance, I have come to accept the [...]
No, I don’t think I really mean it, but seeing Tom Brady writhing in pain from what appears to be a serious knee injury in the first game of the new season does not make me feel good about what’s going to happen the rest of the year.
What a game! I certainly never thought it was going to be such a defensive battle. Although I fully expected the gut-wrenching emotional roller coaster that it was. I figured on loads of scoring. But, then again, I thought the Pats were going to win. What do I know? The Giants defense was the key, [...]
Simulcast on no less than four channels in New England, but all using the same crappy NFL Network feed . . . the New York Giants represented the entire NFL against the 15-0 New England Patriots last night. Just in case you somehow missed it, New England prevailed.
Completing a perfect record for the season was [...]
Well, if there was any doubt of this before last night’s narrow 27-24 victory, there shouldn’t be any more. After converting only a few of their third down attempts all game, the Pats were forced to try and convert a couple of fourth downs during the waning seconds of the game against the Baltimore Ravens [...]
Wow! That was a big game. The Pats squeaked by with the victory after coming from behind – much like the Colts did earlier this year during last season’s AFC Championship game. The best regular season football game ever? I dunno, but it certainly was a matchup of [...]
OK, OK, OK. I wasn’t even gonna bring this up, but I’ve been barraged by emails (barrage may be a wee bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea, right?) taunting me to say something about it. What? Am I the only opinionated Patriots fan in the blogosphere?
Last Sunday, the Patriots traded away their fourth round draft pick to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for picking up wide receiver Randy Moss’ contract. I didn’t post about it at the time, because I was dealing with the magnitude of my hypocrisy about the move. I’ve finally come to terms with it, trading all my [...]
