Notes and Observations, Week 15: 49ers Outlast Patriots in a Heavyweight Bout, 41-34

By ⋅ December 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Unlike the Texans game on Monday, Sunday night’s match-up of the 49ers and the Patriots lived up to all the hype. It had the feel of a heavyweight fight, and looked like a bloodbath early on. The Patriots turned things on late to make the game interesting, but the 49ers were able to hold off [...]

Patriots Acquire Aqib Talib from the Buccaneers

By ⋅ November 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The trade deadline was extended to Thursday (today) and the Patriots made a move in an attempt to plug the glaring hole that is their secondary. They traded their 2013 4th round pick in exchange for Buccaneers’ cornerback Aqib Talib and a 7th round pick.  Talib has had a few off the field problems in his [...]

2012 Patriots’ Wide Receivers Review: Excitement & Intrigue

By ⋅ August 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As the start of the 2012 regular season quickly approaches, one of the most interesting positions on this team is that of the wide receivers. In the 2011 season the Patriots finished out with a receiving corps consisting of Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Julian Edelman, Matthew Slater, and Chad Ochocinco Johnson. We all know how [...]

Wes Welker Signs $9.5M Franchise Tender

By ⋅ May 15, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Many movie moments could symbolize Wes Welker‘s decision to sign his $9.5 million franchise tender Tuesday and return to the Patriots for the 2012-13 season. Perhaps the Hulk destroying enemy ships in The Avengers. Or Dean Portman showing up at halftime of the JV-Varsity game at the end of Mighty Ducks 3. Really, any clip [...]

Well we knew all thought it was going to be a big week and it certainly did not disappoint. Usually, the first week of the NCAA tournament dominates the national headlines because of the thousands of bracket and office pools across the country. This week was different.

No, not really. But here’s a photo of former Patriots WR Randy Moss with an actual dolphin:

What Terrell Owens and Randy Moss Taught Chad Ochocinco

By ⋅ January 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The oft-maligned and rarely used Chad Ochocinco told the Boston Herald Saturday that he’s often spoken with former Patriot Randy Moss and former Bengal Terrell Owens during this transition year to the Patriot way of life. The move seemingly makes sense: all three players are what Ochocinco called “diva receivers;” Moss is a former Patriot [...]

Say What: Could Terrell Owens Be a Good Fit for Patriots?

By ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Could it be? Prior to the Patriots 38-20 beat down against the Philadelphia Eagles, Drew Rosenhaus was seen on the Patriots sideline. Earlier Sunday, Rosenhaus said that one team is very interested in his client — Terrell Owens. Is it a coincidence that Rosenhaus roamed the New England sideline? Or could Owens join the Patriots? [...]

In Defense of Chad Ochocinco

By ⋅ October 17, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Chad Ochocinco has nine catches, 136 receiving yards and no touchdowns in six games this season. These numbers are far and away the worst they’ve ever been for Ochocinco, who averaged five catches and 74 yards per game in his first 10 seasons. Ochocinco has given the Patriots virtually nothing as he takes his sweet [...]

Nice Try: Chad Ochocinco a Big Dud For the Patriots

By ⋅ October 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It worked with Corey Dillon. It worked with Randy Moss. Throughout his head coaching tenure with the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick has had a great track record in bringing in other teams trash and making them Patriots treasure. This offseason Belichick was at it again. The Patriots brought in colorful Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver [...]

Randy Moss Wants to Play for Patriots: What Happened to Traditional Retirement?

By ⋅ September 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

According to Pro Football Talk, (retired?) wide receiver Randy Moss wants to return to the Patriots. That’s a little surprising. Considering that Moss presumably called it quits due to lack of interest, Randy probably doesn’t have all that much leverage in choosing where (and if) he wants to play at all. And in case anyone [...]

By ⋅ August 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Today on the SoB podcast, I had Anna Clark on. Clark is a writer for Grantland, who wrote a piece on Randy Moss this week.

The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same On July 14, Joel Segal, Randy Moss’ agent, claimed the mercurial wide receiver is in great shape, motivated, and ready to contribute to a Super Bowl contending team. “He is determined, motivated and quite frankly has a huge chip on his shoulder.

By ⋅ August 1, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

ESPN’s Cris Carter is reporting Randy Moss declined a one-year deal to return to New England this season before opting to retire.
