OK, Matt Cassel IS an NFL Quarterback

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 [...]

Praise the Lord! Tom Brady is Back in Training

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 [...]

A Letter to Bill Belichick

Dear Coach Belichick,

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 [...]

Patriots Season Tickets for Sale. Cheap.

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.

I know that they say that it takes [...]

Pats Lose the Big One. Congrats to the Giants and Their Fans.

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, [...]

Patriots Go 16-0

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 [...]

God is a Patriots Fan

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 [...]

Showdown at the RCA Dome

Indy Fans after today’s game(AP Photo/AJ Mast)

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 [...]

Videogate (aka Patriotgate, aka The Patriots Cheating Scandal)

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? 

So, caving into all of you [...]

Randy Moss is a Patriot

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 [...]
