Why the Patriot Playoff Slump Ends in 2012

In the last 10 years the New England Patriots have developed into a perennial contender. It is expected that they make the playoffs, and the only way a season can be deemed a success is with a super bowl title. By this high standard, the last two years have been great disappointments, with the Patriots [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 17

All’s well that ends well. The New England Patriots overcame an early 21-point deficit Sunday, blowing out the Bills in the second half and cruising to home-field advantage for the playoffs.

Brady Notches Another AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week following New England’s 27-24 come-from-behind victory over the Miami Dolphins. Despite an abysmal first half in which the offense was shutout, Brady finished the afternoon with 304 yards and a trio of touchdowns (two rushing, one passing) on 27-46 passing. This is the [...]

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s Football Intelligence Not Up to Harvard Standards

Humorist Dave Barry once wrote that Harvard University “for more than three centuries has produced graduates who, no matter what their philosophical differences, are all dedicated to the lofty goal of subtly letting you know that they went to Harvard.” Former Harvard Crimson and current Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn’t needed to purse his [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 16

The Miami Dolphins narrowly avoided disaster Saturday against the New England Patriots. Somehow a group of talented, motivated football players broke into their locker room, knocked everyone out, stole their uniforms and took the field for kickoff. The “Dolphins” went into halftime up 17-0. Luckily, the true – and truly terrible – Dolphins regained consciousness [...]

Patriots Clinch First-Round Bye, Overcome 17-Point Deficit Against Dolphins

Tom Brady-Gisele Mega Mansion Almost Ready

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s unbelievably humongous mansion in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, California is almost done. The couple purchased the 3.7-acre plot of land for $11 million a few years ago, and then proceeded to build a 22,000-square-foot (!!!) home. When the home is done, it’s expected to have eight bedrooms, a [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 15

Whatever the source of the Denver Broncos’ new-found momentum, it ended in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.

The Patriots beat the Broncos, 41-23, clinching the AFC East and moving ahead of both [...]

At the End of the Day the Patriots Still Have Tom Brady

Holding a one point lead with 1:18 left in the second quarter against Denver on Sunday, Tom Brady took the snap and plunged ahead 1-yard for a touchdown on his infamous quarterback sneak. As he picked himself off the ground he took a few steps in the end zone and did his best Rob Gronkowski [...]

Tom Brady and the Patriots Looking to End “Tebow Time”

The Patriots (10-3) will be looking for their sixth win in a row Sunday. The Broncos (8-5) will be looking for their seventh.

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 14

To beat the New England Patriots, a team must play perfectly for 60 minutes. Even when Tom Brady is so out of sorts he gets into a screaming match with his offensive coordinator, the Patriots still score so much that anything short of error-free football won’t cut it. The Washington Redskins made two mistakes Sunday: [...]

Video: Tom Brady, Bill O’Brien Fight on Patriots Sideline

Tom Brady threw a red zone interception with six minutes to go against the Redskins on Sunday, giving Washington a chance to tie the game late instead of ending the drive with a 14-point lead. Judging by hand motions, it appeared Brady was furious with Tiquan Underwood, who let Josh Wilson undercut his route to [...]
