The New England Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans 34-13 on Sunday in sunny Nashville, Tennessee. In spite of a bloodied and possibly broken nose, Tom Brady performed as expected, completing 23 out of 31 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns. While the offense performed well, the defense of the Patriots is what really stood out [...]
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. [...]
If you drafted Titans receiver Kenny Britt, chances are you were doing well in your fantasy league. That is, until Week 3. Britt was placed on injured reserve this week with a torn ACL and MCL, ending both his season and his fantasy value. New quarterback Matt Hasselbeck seemed to form a nice connection with [...]
What a difference a year makes. Last year Chris Johnson was the golden boy of every fantasy draft, number one on almost everyone’s board. Whoever was able to land him first was ecstatic, knowing they were going to have a guy who would score at least 15 points per game, with the potential for much [...]
It’s been an interesting week for former New England Patriot, Minnesota Viking, Tennessee Titan and Oakland Raider Randy Moss. On Monday, Boston Globe reporter Greg Bedard reported that the New York Jets were interested in signing the free-agent wide receiver. Less than 24 hours later, Fox Sports reporter Adam Schein tweeted that the Jets had [...]
Things have suddenly gotten interesting. The Patriots are no longer the best team around, and the Rams are doing something right. And remember the Saints’ poor start? They’re now half a game out of the best record in the league. Ditto for the packers, and just one game back for the Colts. And three games [...]
At first glance, Randy Moss going to the Titans seems like a good outcome for the wayward wide receiver. Tennessee is 5-3, half a game out of both the wildcard and the AFC South, with two games left against the Colts. They have a good coach in Jeff Fisher, who makes smart decisions on the [...]
Something’s going on in the NFL. The AFC West is completely flopped from last season, New Orleans lost at home to Cleveland, and the Cowboys and Vikings are still not too good, and Green Bay is borderline. At least we still have one winless team in Buffalo to root for to fail. The Colts are [...]
Big surprise: everyone picked the Colts. A battle for second should entertain this year, with the Texans and Titans both boasting capabilities to put up a winning season. A second opportunity for Vince Young to prove his worth will make for an entertaining storyline, as will Chris Johnson’s encore performance and Matt Schaub’s push to [...]
The next stop on the fantasy preview train brings us to the AFC South. This division has some of the best top shelf talent of them all, featuring one of the top 3 fantasy QBs in Peyton Manning, two of the top 4 fantasy RBs in Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew, two of the top [...]
Multiple league sources have reported that veteran tight end Alge Crumpler has informed the Tennessee Titans (his former employer) that he has agreed to terms with the New England Patriots. Crumpler, 32, is expected to ink an official deal with the Patriots later this week. The Patriots released free agent Benjamin Watson, who signed with [...]
Let’s be frank. The New England Patriots had their chance to stop the Colts from making a run at its record 21 straight regular season wins. They blew it. Since then, The Colts struggled against the Ravens and, thanks to Ed Reed’s stupidity, squeaked away with a win. Then they appeared to be getting blown [...]
It seems that Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo wants to start a new tradition in December besides singing carols, roasting chestnuts, and playing Christmas Day games: challenging star athletes to 40-yard foot-races for cash. Last December, it was Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter who set world record after world record at the 2008 Summer [...]
Several times this season, a lackluster performance by the Patriots has made this article very difficult to write. This week, it’s difficult to write for the completely opposite reason. Sunday was truly a coming out party for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, as they laid the smackdown on the hapless Tennessee Titans at a snowy [...]
In a snowy, windy game the Patriots put on one of the most remarkable performances in NFL history, scoring 35 second quarter points on the way to a historic 59-0 win over Tennessee. Tom Brady set a modern NFL record by throwing five TD passes in the second quarter alone. His final line was 29-34, [...]
