Ravens WR Boldin Talks Trash, Media Overreacts, the World Keeps on Spinning

By ⋅ January 16, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

When asked how Sunday’s AFC Championship rematch would differ from last year, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin simply responded, “Because we’ll make it different.” How so? “We’ll win.” And thus began a minor media maelstrom about Boldin’s (supposedly) brash prediction. He said what?! Would the New England Patriots take offense? Would Bill Belichick use [...]

By ⋅ February 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Week of 2/5 – 2/12/12 This was a week filled with curious and controversial decisions like Kevin Youkilis popping the question to Tom Brady’s sister, Rob Gronkowski partying like he’s on the Jersey Shore right after losing the Super Bowl, and Tom Brady’s wife publicly blaming the receivers for blowing the big game.

By ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Well… crap. Just like four years ago, the New England Patriots came up just a couple plays short of beating the New York Giants and claiming their fourth Lombardi Trophy Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI.

Hey Patriots, “Coffee is for Closers”

By ⋅ 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 [...]

Kyle Arrington Need Never Fear “Bandwagon” Fans

By ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Dear Kyle Arrington, Your recent tweet filled me with concern. You seem so worried that “fake fans” (as you so cleverly hashtagged them) will try to jump back on the Patriot “bandwagon” once your team’s horrific defense improves. The thought of phoney-baloney cheers replacing the ever-present boo-birds currently echoing through Gillette Stadium clearly haunts your [...]

Patriots Hope to Right Ship Against New York Giants

By ⋅ November 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been almost four years since the New York Giants’ ended the New England Patriots’ bid for an undefeated season. That’s far too long ago to call Sunday’s game at Gillette Stadium a “revenge game.” Instead, this game will simply be an opportunity for the Patriots to pull their pass defense out of the gutter. [...]

By ⋅ November 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

UPDATE (3:06 p.m. ET): ESPN’s Adam Schefter offers a different spin to Bradshaw’s injury: Person familar with Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw’s injury texted this: “Not serious injury – should play Sunday. No surgery (needed).” *** That vulnerable Patriots defense can exhale a little bit. The Star-Ledger is reporting that New York Giants running back Ahmad [...]

Manning Compares Himself to Brady: Why is No. 12 Hated?

By ⋅ August 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback (and possibly human being) in the history of our Earth. His worldly passing skills, and pretty boy smile put him in a class of his own. He’s a natural winner who brings home Super Bowl Championships like no one’s business. Oh, but apparently Eli Manning disagrees so of course [...]
