Brown Kicks Game-Winning Field Goal as Rams win in Foxboro

By Matt Goisman ⋅ August 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The old guard (though not as old as, say, that fellow over in Minnesota) took on the new guard Thursday night at Gillette Stadium. For the 2-0 New England Patriots: Tom Brady, entering his eleventh season, holder of records, winner of MVPs and Super Bowls alike. For the 1-1 St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, the [...]

Mark Sanchez Speak Out About Tom Brady

By John ⋅ August 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After Tom Brady said he hates the Jets and doesn’t care to watch HBO’s “Hard Knocks” featuring the New York Jets, Mark Sanchez responded that the feeling is definitely not mutual. Brady’s comments that started the whole kerfuffle?
“I hate the Jets. I refuse to support that show. I’m sure it’s great TV and I’m glad [...]

Welker Returns, Pats Roll Over Falcons 28-10

By KC Downey ⋅ August 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I know these games don’t count. I know it’s just the preseason. But, football is football. It can be physical whether you’re playing two-hand touch or playing in the Super Bowl. That’s why Wes Welker playing on the second game of the preseason on Thursday night is so remarkable, just seven months after a major [...]

Tom Brady Talks Contract on WEEI

By KC Downey ⋅ August 17, 2010 ⋅ One comment

There’s nothing like getting up on Monday morning to begin another work week, and hearing Patriots legendary quarterback Tom Brady talk about the possibility of leaving the Patriots, just like his childhood idols Jerry Rice and Joe Montana left his beloved 49ers to play for other teams. With no deal reached on a contract extension, [...]

Edelman Impressive as Patriots Top Saints 27-24

By KC Downey ⋅ August 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The 2009 seasons for the Patriots and Saints could not have ended any more different. The Patriots were obliterated out of the playoffs by the Ravens at Gillette Stadium 33-14 back in January, while the Saints won their first Super Bowl, beating Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts a month later.
Moving on to 2010, the [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally arrived. Fall is upon us, and while we’re sad to see the summer coming to a close, fantasy football fanatics across the globe are salivating, as the 2010 NFL season is quickly approaching.
If you’re as fanatical about fantasy football as I am, you’ve probably already begun reading up [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: Quarterbacks

By Matt Huegel ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady, having just turned 33 on Tuesday, remains the face of the Patriots and likely the most important player on the team. Having his first healthy off-season since the infamous knee injury in 2008, one would think that the start of this pre-season would be a happy return to his craft, but that has [...]

A Letter to Wes Welker

By Teddy ⋅ August 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Dear Wes Welker,
First off it’s great to see that you’re recovering extremely fast. I was scared when you were injured during that Texans game in Week 17. The Patriots desperately needed you in the playoffs and unfortunately, we were bounced in the Wild Card round by the Ravens.
Last season you were ridiculous. I mean, 123 [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: Wide Receivers

By Colin Neagle ⋅ July 19, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This isn’t the 2007 Patriots’ offense, as much as we hope it can play like it. But since that record-breaking season, the wide receivers in New England have come and gone, grown old and grown up. The Pats’ offense has seen some major development in the past three years: Randy Moss is approaching the end [...]

T.O. To Play For New England?

By John ⋅ July 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

During a recent media tour, free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens expressed interest in playing for the New England Patriots in 2010. T.O, in an effort to dispel misconceptions about past behavior, said he would be willing to take on less money and a smaller role with a championship contender, which would prove that he’s [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: Offensive Line

By Andrew Kipp ⋅ July 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The offensive line was by far the most consistent unit of the 2009/2010 New England Patriots. Left tackle Matt Light, left guard Logan Mankins, center Dan Koppen, right guard Stephen Neal, and right Tackle Nick Kaczur allowed opposing defenses very few cracks at three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady. Brady –unfortunate to sustain nagging [...]

Brady Coach: QB Had Broken Finger, 3 Broken Ribs

By KC Downey ⋅ July 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

According to an ESPN.com interview with personal throwing coach Tom Martinez, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a broken finger and three broken ribs toward the end of last season. Think that might have been why he had three straight games with a QB rating under 75.0?
CBS’s Charley Casserly had reported during the season that Brady [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: Defensive Line

By Colin Neagle ⋅ June 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t too long ago that the Patriots’ defensive line was the most consistent part of the defense, if not the team. But since Richard Seymour could no longer fit the budget, the void he left has been bigger than any of us expected. Lately, the defensive line has been so questionable that some [...]

Tom Brady Not Talking About Contract Extension

By John ⋅ June 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady is entering the final year of his contract, in which he is due to make $6.5 million ($3.5 million in salary, and the rest as a roster bonus). He earned quite a bit in the early part of his contract, so he is no doubt looking for a bigger payday. Rumors have circulated [...]
