Here are three reasons the Patriots got whooped in Jacksonville Sunday. Mother Nature! This was the hottest NFL game since 2003 when Green Bay went to Arizona (you remember that one time people from Wisconsin left Wisconsin?) Temps on the field reached 99 degrees, but the “real feel” temperature was 10 degrees worse than that. […]
Coming to you live from Fenway Park, just hours after the Patriots 27-20 win over Houston. Here are 3 rapid reactions. 1.

The great Willie McGinest came out this week and declared that if the Patriots win the Super Bowl this year, Tom Brady will retire. I beg to differ. Look, McGinest has more football insight than me. And he is an actual friend with TB12. Meanwhile I am here in eastern Maine, far away from Patriot […]
I was lucky enough to attend the annual New England Patriots Draft Preview Sunday at Gillette Stadium. Bob Socci, Pats radio play by play guy hosted a panel including Mike Reiss and Field Yates of ESPN Boston, Todd McShay of ESPN and Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston. At the end of the day, […]
