By ⋅ October 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s put it to you in terms you guys can understand. I’ve been watching a lot of NESN lately. Between the end of the Sox season and the beginning of the Bruins’ year, NESN has been my best friend the last few weeks. So related to that, I’ve drawn comparisons from my weekly fantasy picks [...]

By ⋅ September 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The 2009 NFL Season starts Thursday, and everyone is excited about it. Which teams will be the heavyweights this year? Which players will be the standouts? Will all the teams with quarterback problems solve them? After both #1 seeds from the 2007 season failed to even make the playoffs in the 2008 season, anything can [...]

I Called It: Vikings Beat Chiefs

By ⋅ August 22, 2009 ⋅ One comment

As I predicted, the Vikings defeated the Chiefs in a close game, 17-13. In an odd twist of fate, though probably not too surprising because of Favre’s extensive time off, Matt Cassel showed more potential in more playing time. Both quarterbacks started, though Favre only played in two series, going 1/4 of passes for a [...]

Favre Versus Cassel: The Rubber Match

By ⋅ August 21, 2009 ⋅ One comment

After waffling more than an IHOP chef, Brett Favre is back in action. He picked a great time to do it, too. On Friday at 8:00, Favre’s Vikings will face Matt Cassel’s Chiefs in Minnesota. Last season, Favre’s Jets and Cassel’s Patriots split the season series one game each, with the Pats winning in Week [...]

Training camp is now in full swing in Foxboro so it’s time to take a look at the players who will make up the 2009 New England Patriots. We’ll start off with the position which most fans feel is the easiest to diagnose yet deep down inside in places you don’t talk about at parties [...]

Patriots Sign Patrick Chung; Place Five on PUP List

By ⋅ July 28, 2009 ⋅ One comment

With rookies reporting to training camp yesterday there was little doubt that second round pick Patrick Chung – though unsigned at the time – would show up to camp and not hold out. Instead of making their rabid fanbase sweat a little, the Patriots and Chung ended all inkling of contractual unrest by agreeing to [...]

Broncos v. Chiefs, Who Would Win?

By ⋅ July 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Denver Broncos and Kansas Chiefs recently acquired former Patriots personnel to help revive both AFC West teams. The Broncos picked up Josh McDaniels as head coach, and players Jabar Gaffney and LaMont Jordan. The Chiefs picked up Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel, as well as Scott Pioli as the new general manager.

Matt Cassel: The New Chief Player in Kansas City

By ⋅ July 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Former Patriots backup and 2008 starting quarterback Matt Cassel has signed a six-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. He will be paid $63 million over the six years, with $28 million guaranteed. This lucrative agreement is certainly due to Cassel’s breakout 2008 season and the franchise tag the Patriots placed on him before sending [...]

By ⋅ July 15, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Let me be the first to welcome you to the boring doldrums of the sports calendar. Hoops are on hiatus, pucks are on ice, and even baseball’s now at their mid-summer snooze. Unless you’re a raging WNBA fan, there’s just very little action to feast your eyes on these days. (And hey, all you WNBA [...]

Matt Cassel Trade: Controversial Dealings?

By ⋅ March 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I know it’s logical given the history of Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli to assume that there was shenanigans going on the big trade between the Chiefs and Patriots, with Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel going to the Chiefs for the 34th pick in the draft. It seems laughable that a franchise QB and a [...]

Cassel Trade Is Better Than It Looks

By ⋅ March 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I know what you are thinking. A starting quarterback and our defensive leader for a measly second round pick? Isn’t Matt Cassel less of a risk to a bad team than taking an unproven starter in the first round? What is Bill Belichick thinking turning down a top 15 pick from Denver and instead making [...]

Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick have made a trade for the second straight day, with the Patriots sending QB Matt Cassel to the Chiefs, according to the NFL Network’s Adam Sheffner. According to the Patriots’ team website, the Chiefs will send their 2009 second round pick (34th overall) for Cassel and Vrabel. Reaction: Oh my [...]

Patriots Franchise Matt Cassel

By ⋅ February 5, 2009 ⋅ One comment

In an obvious move, the Patriots placed the franchise tag on quarterback Matt Cassel, who performed admirably this season in a pinch for Tom Brady. Cassel will be guaranteed a one-year tender offer of $14.65 million. Now, the Patriots have a decision to make. Do you keep the two quarterbacks (who will make a combined [...]
