Moss gives naysayers some ammunition
2008-01-16 20:48:00 It was a strange day at Gillette Stadium yesterday. Rather than talk about the game, Randy Moss took centerstage. It was reported earlier in the morning, apparently from an Orlando radio station, that a “restraining order” of some kind was issued to Moss after an altercation with a Fort Lauderdale woman, Rachelle Washington, claimed a “battery” ...
A Brady joke on the Internet
2008-01-16 20:28:00 If you haven’t seen this joke, you will soon. Anyway, it’s good for a cheap laugh: Three quarterbacks, Manning, Romo and Tom Brady , go to heaven to visit God and watch the Celtics play a game. God decides who will sit next to him by asking the boys a question… God asks Peyton Manning first: “What do you believe?” ... More About: Internet , Joke , The Internet
10 things we learned from Pats-Jaguars game
2008-01-14 22:06:00 Here are 10 things we learned this weekend, particularly on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium: 1. Laurence Maroney is back. In fact, I may be downplaying this. He might be better than ever, or least looking a lot like he did his first month of his rookie season when he averaged 4.9 yards per carry, and that’s ...

Pats-Jags pregame 2 … Where is Eugene?
2008-01-13 01:30:00 It is not the best of times for soon-to-be free agent, Patriots safety Eugene Wilson. He was listed as inactive while not on the most recent injury report, which means one thing: Coaches decision. Wow. Wilson was the starting safety on the Super Bowl in 2004, after he was drafted as a cornerback out of Illinois. Obviously, he has ... More About: Game 2
Pats-Jags pregame
2008-01-13 01:00:00 There is not a lot to report here other than traffic was a lot worse than usual, which means a lot of people got here earlier.

Jim Rice: Hall of Famer?
2008-01-09 20:30:00 First off, let me state my opinion. I believe Jim Rice is a Hall of Famer. I believe after his career ended we downplayed his accomplishments after the home run decade (1990s) and we basically forgot about him. He doesn’t have the longevity numbers that would have made him a cinch | 3,000 hits or 400 ... More About: Jim Rice
Clemens dug himself a deeper hole
2008-01-08 16:40:00 Even a slick lawyer like Rusty Hardin, who could have given Johnnie Cochran are run for his money in the “smooth as silk” to department, couldn’t change the obvious. Roger Clemens is in deep trouble. If this the 17-minute slimy and secret phone conversation, which Clemens allegedly made because he “cared” about Brian McNamee’s sick son, is ... More About: Hole
Clemens: Do you believe him?
2008-01-07 21:50:00 I will have more on this subject in Tuesday’s newspaper, but it is worth discussing. Do you believe Roger Clemens after seeing and especially hearing him on 60 Minutes last night? Basically, he says it was all lies. Of course, he fumbled his words when “lie detector” test was brought up by CBS’ Mike Wallace. Anyway, what do you ...

2008-01-02 21:41:00 Here it goes: MVP: TOM BRADY With regrets to Randy Moss, who is the best wide reciever in the NFL, this is a no-brainer for the Patriots and the league. It’s Brady.

Deal-breaker is Lester, not Ellsbury

No or go for 16-0?
More articles from this author:2007-12-18 19:04:00 I’d like to know what you think. Should the Patroits err on the side of safety, particularly with their quarterback, Tommy Brady, or should they go with the “60 minutes” motto they’ve been professing lately? To be honest, I can’t figure out Bill Belichick’s intentions. Just when I believe I have him somewhat figured out, he goes ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
