When the Patriots finally take the field in September, no question this is going to be a strange freaking new world for all of us fans. It doesn’t seem possible that it has been two decades since Drew Bledsoe took that awful hit to the chest forcing him to go to the ER and opening […]
When the 1998 NBA Finals wrapped up with the Chicago Bulls winning their sixth championship in eight years before their inevitable breakup, NBC commentator Bob Costas said that loyalty in pro sports would be gone with the end of the Jordan-Pippen-Jackson partnership. Fast-forward 22 years, and that same loyalty in arguably the best modern-day dynasty […]
I have a love hate relationship with social media. Maybe you feel the same way? I’m grateful that thousands of people see my Sports Chowdah content on Facebook and Twitter every month. And I will admit I like to post pics of my kids now and then. Otherwise I largely hate the frighteningly massive role […]
Usually us Pats fans are in full Super Bowl mode this weekend. But not this year. Instead if you’re like me, you’re keeping a close eye on the Tom Brady free agency rumors. And man there are a ton of them. I don’t believe most of what I hear, but there IS a team out […]
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 […]
