By on May 23, 2012 at 5:29pm

The Patriots have signed one of their first round picks, defensive end Chandler Jones.

Terms of the deal, of course, aren’t disclosed. But under the new CBA, Jones’s contract is four years in length with an option for a fifth year.

Jones, who comes from Syracuse, is listed at 6’5″ and 266 pounds. He will likely slide in as the team’s starting defensive end in place of Mark Anderson, who signed with the Bills in free agency. Continue reading Patriots Sign 1st Round Pick Chandler Jones »

That’s right football fans! Everyone’s favorite quarterback, Tom Brady, may be expecting a second baby with wife Gisele Bundchen, at least according to the Agora Sao Paulo newspaper in Brazil (follow the link if you understand Portuguese).

Sources told the paper that Gisele’s dress size has changed, leading many to expect that a baby bump is on the way.

Sure, file this one under the “I don’t care” department. That’s fine.

But, you may start caring if the baby is born during the NFL season. Continue reading Gisele Bundchen Pregnant? Tom Brady’s Wife May Be Expecting »

Wes Welker signed his $9.5 million franchise tender Tuesday, meaning Patriots fans will get to watch him do this (hopefully repeatedly) for at least one more season. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

Many movie moments could symbolize Wes Welker‘s decision to sign his $9.5 million franchise tender Tuesday and return to the Patriots for the 2012-13 season. Perhaps the Hulk destroying enemy ships in The Avengers. Or Dean Portman showing up at halftime of the JV-Varsity game at the end of Mighty Ducks 3. Really, any clip of someone returning from somewhere and then going on a rampage would do.

But none could do it better than Randy Quaid in Independence Day:

Just pretend the spaceship is an opposing defense and the metaphor works perfectly. Kinda like Welker and Tom Brady.

Confused yet? Yep, so were we.

But, we wouldn’t share something unless we actually thought it was worth it. (It’s kind of funny and it’s relevant, of course…I mean, Brandon Lloyd is now a Patriot).

And while I know I kind of spoiled the video with the headline, it’s still worth your time: Continue reading Video: Brandon Lloyd Beats Bryant McKinnie in 77-Year Tennis Match »

Bears v Vikings X

In an interview with ESPN Radio’s “Hill & Schlereth,” Cris Carter admitted to placing bounties on opposing players.

“I’m guilty of it,” Carter said.  “…I put a bounty on guys before. I put bounties on guys. And the guys tried to take me out, a guy tried to take a cheap shot on me, I put on bounty on him, right now.”

Carter claimed to have used the bounty system as a way of protecting himself against players that would be attempting to hurt him, citing Bill Romanowski  as one of these players.

He explained how he would offer some “change on his head,” when describing how he would ask one of his offensive lineman teammates to take care of an opposing defensive player. Continue reading Cris Carter Adds Fuel to the Saints’ Bountygate Fire »

Matt Light retired from the NFL Monday. He played for the Patriots for 11 years, starting nearly every game and anchoring a much-improved offensive line. (AP/www.Boston.com)

When the 2012 New England Patriots kick off their season in a few months, many of the faces will look familiar. Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker will still be there, picking apart defenses. Jerod Mayo will still blow up any receiver foolhardy enough to run across the middle of the field. Stephen Gostkowski will still split the uprights with computer-like proficiency.

But one familiar face won’t be there: Matt Light, who retired from the NFL Monday. Light played for the Patriots for 11 years, starting 153 of 155 total regular season games, plus 16 playoff games. He started all 16 games in seven different seasons, playing a key role in the Patriots’ transformation into the premier NFL franchise of the 21st century.
