1. OFFENSE * Brady looked grumpy again even after sniffing ammonia before kickoff (that doesn’t look good – NFL should put an end to that in public). * Any mere mortal would have broke their neck if they took the same fall that Gronkowski did on his second touchdown. * Trying to get Wes Welker [...]
Patriots and Jets is synonymous with the word rivalry. The personnel switching from entity to entity over the years (and in some cases switching back…again) make this feud that much more compelling. Consequently, fans take great pride in victory and agony in defeat. Sports Nation hosts Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle are taking this concept to [...]
A fan accidentally shot himself in the Gillette Stadium parking lot before the Patriots-Giants game on Sunday. The 50-year-old man was in his vehicle with his wife at around 3:15 p.m. when his gun accidentally discharged. He was allegedly attempting to empty the chamber of his gun, which was licensed. The fan suffered a wound [...]
If I say “Adam Sandler movies,” what comes to mind? Billy Madison? Happy Gilmore? Waterboy? The Wedding Singer? Big Daddy? Many of these movies were hilarious. But, the other common attribute these movies share is that they were released in the 90′s. All of them. Notable movies since? Little Nicky (ugh). Mr. Deeds (meh). The [...]
Welcome to the second installment of what I’m tentatively calling “Don’t Call Me A Mailbag.” For a better understanding of what this is, check out the first one. This week we talk about a Kardashian divorce, Bruins struggles, UFC, and more! In addition to the Yahoo! Answers questions, you will also be able to submit [...]
The Patriots have cut ties with cornerback Leigh Bodden. “He’s enjoyed this time in New England, but after meeting with coach Belichick this morning, both parties agreed it was time to move on,” Bodden’s agent Alvin Keels told ESPNBoston.com. “Leigh still has a strong desire to play football and welcomes his next opportunity to compete [...]
It’s a known fact, but I’ll say it again–we the Boston sports fans have spent the past ten years swimming in championships and parades. Of course if it was up to any Boston sports fan, each of Boston’s four teams would win the championships every year. But what if you could only pick one? Which [...]
As the Red Sox continue their plunge into chaos and ruin on the likes of which a team can never recover (emphasis on never), the Patriots appear to be cruising along to another playoff run. I can’t help but compare them. Two months ago, if you asked the experts to name some of the model [...]
Patriots! Jets! This week always has a special feel to it. We thought it would be appropriate to merge SoB and SoNY for a preview podcast. I had Kristine Reese of Sports of New York on the SoB! Podcast to discuss every facet of the game. Is the Sanchize ready to take the next step? Is [...]
Just over two years ago, the Patriots made a shocking trade with the Oakland Raiders that sent the five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour to the Raiders for a first round draft pick. In the past, we had seen a number of great players leave because they wanted to be paid more than the [...]
“This year I’m going to try to be the black Wes Welker,” Nate Burleson told the NFL Network earlier this week. “I’m going to get as many catches in that slot or on the outside opposite Calvin because he’s going to attract a lot of attention all year.” Well, at least he’s not actually gonna [...]
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has criticized fans in New England before for being too quiet at games and not providing the home field advantage the Pats are looking for. Well this season he’s trying a new approach while addressing the fans for the season opener and I think Patriot nation will support it one hundred [...]
1. Tom Brady: * Enjoy every game we have to appreciate the privilege to watch him play – Like Bird and Orr someday he’ll be gone and we’ll only have memories of #12 * Love him getting furious with Brian Waters when he jumped offside late in the game when the outcome was already determined * [...]
The Patriots opened their season with an impressive 38-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. Tom Brady was absolutely magnificent, passing for a Patriots-record 517 yards. Up 31-17 late in the fourth quarter and pinned down on his own half-yard line, Brady connected over the top to Wes Welker, who stiff-armed the defender for a 99-yard [...]
New England QB Tom Brady had a record evening on Monday night, shredding the Miami defense to the tune of 517 yards in a 38-24 win over the Dolphins. The Patriots now sit at 1-0, tied for first with New York and Buffalo in the AFC East. Brady Unflappable Brady was in a groove all [...]
