Kyle Arrington Need Never Fear “Bandwagon” Fans

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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 Matt Goisman ⋅ 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. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 8

By John ⋅ November 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The season’s about half-way over, and we’ve got a few serious contenders, a few who are losing for Luck, and a good portion still fighting within their division for position. This past week has given us a new AFC leader, confirmed enthusiasm for San Francisco and given us a reason to be bearish about New [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 7

By John ⋅ October 25, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Seven weeks into the season, some of the ties are just starting to break up. Others remain, but every division has a definitive leader, if only half a game. Cincinnati has come roaring back, while Detroit is on a losing streak all of a sudden. New Orleans is back on top of the NFC South, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 5

By John ⋅ October 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With another week done in the NFL, and teams starting to have byes, many teams are still fighting to take control of their divisions and conferences. The Lions and Packers remain unbeaten, while the Rams, Colts and Dolphins remain winless. At this stage, only San Francisco has a multiple-game lead in their division; three other [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 4

By John ⋅ October 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re already through a quarter of the NFL season, and we’ve already seen a lot of surprises. Some people though Detroit would be good, but I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-0 good. Buffalo finally knocked off New England. Philadelphia has been quite lackluster. Tampa’s holding their own in the ultra competitive NFC South. [...]

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

By Josh Segal ⋅ 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 [...]
