Should the Patriots be a Tom Brady Bunch?
There’s been a lot of talk and speculation lately about what Tom Brady’s return will mean for the New England Patriots in 2009. By now, most of us have seen footage of him on the field during workouts, and he seems to be doing well enough. But, even given the observations, many people are not [...]
Bob Kraft is a Smooth Criminal
I realize that I’ve already written about the demise of Michael Jackson, among others, but what I didn’t tell you before is that there is a peculiar link between our New England Patriots and the King of Pop.
According to reports published in 2005, the Sullivan family’s ill-fated backing of Jacko’s “Victory” tour forced them to [...]
Patriots Claim ESPN All-Decade Awards
Late last week ESPN went through the last decade in the NFL and compiled lists of the best players, teams and moments. To no surprise, the Patriots make their way to the top in many ways.
The last decade was a memorable one by far for football as some of the greatest players of all time [...]
Is Rodney Harrison A Hall-of-Famer?
Does someone with the stigma of being one the dirtiest players in NFL history deserve a place in the Hall of Fame? For many New Englanders, the answer would be an absolute yes.
For six seasons, Rodney Harrison was a definitive leader on the field for the Patriots. He was a two-time Superbowl Champion, two-time pro-bowl [...]

This Week at Patriots Place
The issues surrounding the Patriots as they enter this week’s mandatory mini-camp are more focused on off-the-field happenings. Most notably, the contract situation of nose tackle Vince Wilfork has taken center stage as the defensive line stalwart is entering the final year of his contract and sat out voluntary workouts in protest. Wilfork has shown [...]
Jim Nance Named to Patriots Hall of Fame
Patriots fans have cast their votes. Today, the Patriots announced that fullback Jim Nance has earned the honor of becoming the 14th player and the first running back to be inducted into the team’s hall of fame.
Nance played for the Patriots from 1965-1971, and was named to the Pro Bowl twice. He finished his career [...]
Patriots Sign Patrick Pass
The Pats added to an already deep backfield today with the signing of Patrick Pass. Pass played for the Pats from 2000-2006 and won three Super Bowls. He has amassed 1,096 career yards from scrimmage and four TDs.
My Take: It’s tough to say what kind of impact this will have. With so many options at [...]

Harrison, 36, played 16 years in the NFL and amassed hall of fame worthy [...]
This Week At Patriots Place
Another week gone means another week closer to training camp. There was limited team activities last week but there was plenty of news coming out of Foxboro, mostly focused on the left knee of Tom Brady.
Brady practiced for a few days wearing a brace under sweatpants and it’s very difficult to determine what, if any, [...]
