Patriots Gaining Momentum, Colts Facing Injuries

Bob Sanders tore his bicep last week versus the San Francisco 49ers and is out for the season—the usual.

Who Are Your Most Hated Sports Figures?

With the announcement this week that the third incarnation of Brett “Farv-ruh” is upon us, I found myself re-evaluating my feelings on the sports figures I loathe most.

Colts 18, Patriots 15 – The Verdict

This game pretty much came down to a couple of plays. 1) Belichick using a challenge and losing a timeout three minutes into the second half on a play which would’ve gained the Pats five yards, instead they were facing just 2nd and 10. 2) Belichick using the team’s last timeout as Cassel snuck for [...]

Vinatieri Hits Late FG, Colts Edge Patriots 18-15

Adam Vinatieri proved to be one of the clutchest kickers in the history of the NFL during his years with the Patriots.
