Patriots Must Respond to Difficult Challenge on Thanksgiving vs. Jets

By ⋅ November 20, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The last time the Patriots were scheduled to play the Jets, we heard the same propaganda from the media and the fans. Pats will roll. The Jets stink. Mark Sanchez is not a big-time quarterback. All of this may be true. But, I wasn’t being a contrarian when I predicted a Jets victory, and I [...]

Patriots Getting Ready for Andrew Luck, a Rookie Quarterback Playing Like a Veteran

By ⋅ November 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

This year has been notable for many things in the NFL, one being the high number of rookie quarterbacks starting. This may have had something to do with the success of 2011 rookies Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, as each started every game last year. This year there have been five first-year quarterbacks who have [...]

The Patriots barely escaped with a 37-31 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. During the game, coach Bill Belichick felt he needed to challenge a play.

What a Joke: Welker Clarifies Postgame Belichick Comment

By ⋅ October 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I used to think that there was nothing lamer than having to explain a joke to someone. Then I read the story about Wes Welker explicating his jest in a postgame interview with CSNNE following his 13 catch, 104 yard outburst in a 31-21 Patriots win over the Denver Broncos.  I stand corrected. The media [...]

The Red Sox have the Yankees. The Celtics have the Lakers. The Bruins have the Canadiens. And Tom Brady and the Patriots have Peyton Manning and the Colts Broncos.

Before Sunday’s New England Patriots-Baltimore Ravens game, noted actor (also Ravens linebacker) Ray Lewis said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Patriots 2012 Roster Preview: Will the Kids be Alright?

By ⋅ September 5, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Michael Felger began his show on Tuesday with a very interesting question. I am paraphrasing, but the question was do Patriot fans feel the same way about the team’s chances this year as they did at the beginning of training camp? Felger and Massarotti spent a lot of time discussing a Monday column by the [...]

Why I Hate the Patriots

By ⋅ August 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

For the past couple weeks Deadspin’s Drew Magary has been posting his annual “Why Your Team Sucks” series, a scathing (and highly accurate) review of the reasons why each NFL teams sucks. Yesterday he posted his Patriots edition, and while it was pretty thorough, I—as a Boston sports fan—couldn’t pass up an opportunity for some [...]
