I hate to admit this, but I’m jealous. I’m not proud of this fact. But I am darn jealous of my brother in law. Not because he lives in Nebraska. Duh. Or drives a mini van. But because he is a Chiefs fan. And his team is in the Super Bowl. I know this is […]
Here’s a little story ‘bout a man named Brady, NFL quarterback who drove the poor league crazy. He won a few Super Bowls; then Father Time began to call. With a little Karma mixed in, the dynasty began to fall. Titans take ‘em down … Vrabel that is … Like the trade, only business Belichick. […]
The 2019 New England Patriots were a flawed team. The offense was young in the places where they needed to be experienced (wide receiver) and old in places where it pays to be younger (quarterback and tight end). Saturday night in the first half, the Patriots turned the clock back to the late 2000’s and […]
It’s pretty unlikely that I’m on your shopping list for a Christmas present. That’s ok. But that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve some sports stuff on my Christmas wish list. So here are a few last minute Christmas wishes. More TB 12 Please It’s safe to say for us Patriots fans Tom Brady has truly […]
This felt a lot like the Washington game. Bengals hit a big play, kept it close in the first half and couldn’t hang in the second half. But why would they want to? Cincinnati came into this game 3 losses away from drafting Heisman winner Joe Burrow. True a win against the Patriots would prove […]
While hosting the afternoon sports talk show on WZON AM 620 in Bangor years ago, my co host and I did a show around the question “Can refs cost a team a win?” I made my case that of course officials could hose a team with bad calls. No brainah really. Now after witnessing that […]
Last night the Patriots lost their spot as top seed in the AFC which means home field advantage throughout the playoffs. As we go along in the 2019 season, that appears to be of paramount importance. The Ravens and Patriots are tied record wise at 10-2, with Baltimore holding the tie-breaker over the Patriots (because […]
Nasty. Wet. Cold. Windy. That is November football in the NFL. The image of the league is built around illustrations of Dick Butkus covered in mud and Ray Nitschke covered in blood. While these are images of prosperity, but they’re not pretty. Gridiron glory rarely is. With Tom Brady as the face of the Patriots […]
On a day when you’re going to hear a lot of “It ain’t always pretty” and “A win is a win on the road” it’s important to remember that the Patriots improved to 9-1 with their 17-10 win in Philadelphia Sunday. But, that game was uglier than a driver’s license picture taken on July 5th. […]
On Sunday, the Patriots lost their first game since December 16, 2018 on the same day that the Miami Dolphins won their first game since last December’s Miami Miracle vs New England. And no matter if you are playing the Baltimore Ravens or those previously winless Miami Dolphins, you just cannot spot an opponent a […]
