Buried in Peter King's MMQB today, during a discourse about whether Tenow is NFL material or not, this little nugget: "I will bet a lot of money that when Tebow comes out, he won't get past New England in the second round; as much as Bill Belichick is around Urban Meyer and that program, I...

NFL International Series 2009 The NFL is going to announce at 1pm ET the identity of the teams coming to London for next year's game. Educated best guess.... you're not going to like it... Pats-Bucs

I'm just putting together my fantasy team for the NFL UK (where you get to pick a new team within a salary cap every week) and I wondered whether anyone on here thinks that BB and McDaniels might use the Dolphins secondary as a sort of test bed for stretching the field with Cassel/Moss. It...

Peyton's not always had a good press on here, but there are a good number of contributors who have always respected him for hsi achievements and his play, and I count myself among them. So I was not surprised to read - in this Star notebook - that Manning is among those with something...

The managing director of NFL UK is on our live telecast this evening, and he just stated more or less without reservation that the Patriots will not be either of the teams to play in UK in 2008. They are being looked at very seriously for future games, although he intimated that they would...

Early weather report Next Sunday: 36 degrees, 8 mph winds, 10 % chance precipitation

BB press conference, Thursday am Full transcript Q: Coach, how much does what happened with the cameras in week one play into your preparation for Sunday’s game against the Jets? A: We are preparing for this game as we would every other week. Trying to find a way to win the game...

Just been reading the draft rules to satisfy myself on something that's been bothering me: whether you can just pass up on a pick and what happens then. It seems that if, for example, we had the two pick and didn't use it in the allotted 15 minutes, the number three team than pick and we can...

I travelled from the UK to make my first visit to Gillette on Sunday night (I did once see a Pats game at the old stadium) and for what they are worth, these are my take aways. 1 - The stadium is magnificent. When we went to pick up the tix on Wednesday afternoon, I was underwhelmed looking...

If anyone had any lingering doubt about the team's one fingered salute approach to the league this year, this ought to dispel it, as per Reiss: FOXBOROUGH -- First there were "Humble Pie" T-shirts. Today, some Patriots players donned new T-shirts which read "60-minute men". The blue...

1. The league sucks. I was lucky to have accessible to three fairly watchable games last night - Packers/Vikings, Giants/Cowboys, Chargers/Colts. One was done by the half; one was supposed to be a big divisional contest, but really wasn't in the end; one was supposed to feature two of the...

Reiss suggests he might be. Good timing if he is.

For what they are worth, my thoughts on the Giants-Dolphins game at Wembley last night + It was an incredible thrill for me to be at an NFL regular season game; even a fairly poor one featuring one ordinary and one bad team that I have few feelings for. There is an enormous NFL following out...

1 – Rex Grossman would not be human if he did not allow himself a small inward smile at the sight of Brian Griese tossing three picks in the Bears extraordinary defeat in Detroit. However much Grossman’s poor play contributed to the Bears going into that game at 1-2, he bears no responsibility...

1 – Maintaining excellence in the NFL is a brutally difficult business. Ask Sean Payton and Drew Brees. A year ago their Saints team rode the crest of an emotional wave all the way to the NFC Championship, and looked as if it was building something good in the Big Easy. But three weeks into the...

As the mainstream media continues its crusade to have BB and the Patriots excommunicated from polite society in the NFL, it becomes ever less readable. And so with that in mind, I've decided to replicate one of the regular columns with my own, so that we don't have to trawl through the rest...

Witness this: Q and A with Asante Samuel as per Reiss. It's entirely devoid of anything interesting.

One of the reasons I like PFT is that by and large when they screw up, Florio puts his hand in the air and acknowledges. He's not doing that about the Moss/Seymour situation, but he does admit that the speculation may be something other than well-informed. Rumor Mill

Is anyone planning on doing that this year? For my sins, I can't remember who organised it last year, but they did a grand job and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love to get involved again.

It's been a tetchy weekend, with various bits of news denting the optimism of some, and taking the gloss off of a great off-season for others. But even the darkest clouds have silver linings, and there was some really positive news as well. First the silver clouds: (1) Big Sey and Rodney...
