By gcain ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Alec Baldwin famously said “Coffee is for closers” in the movie “Glengarry Glen Ross,” and when it came to Super Bowl 46, he couldn’t be more right. The Patriots couldn’t close. I have had a couple days to digest, and I am like many Patriot fans, I’m ready to move on. I wanted to reflect [...]

Why is the Local Media so Divided on the New England Patriots?

By gcain ⋅ January 9, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s been a year since the New York Jets and Rex Ryan’s big mouth came into New England an upset the Patriots. It was a humiliating offseason for Patriot fans as they had to hear a lot of talk about the changing of the guard. This Saturday, Jan. 14, the Patriots can accomplish two things: [...]

Draft Blues: Belichick, Pats Struggle to Find Productive WR

By Matthew Marcantonio ⋅ December 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Few of Bill Belichick’s 2011 off-season acquisitions have worked out. Chad Ochocinco has barely contributed. Albert Haynesworth is gone. The Patriots rotating cast of defensive backs has quite possibly been replaced by cardboard cutouts. The same can’t be said of Andre Carter, who on Wednesday was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. The award [...]

By zach ⋅ November 14, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Bill Belichick is known for a number of things, namely: winning and the hoodie. He is not known for controversial comments, especially ones insulting an opposing team.
