Contrary to popular myth, Bill Belichick talks at length to the media

August 24, 2013 | John Morgan

Bill Belichick hates to talk to the media; that's what the national media tells us any chance they get. News flash: it's a myth.

Roster predictions: don't discount the special team players

August 24, 2013 | John Morgan

Looking at many of these various mock rosters it is not uncommon for very little thought being given to special team players on the part of those that are compiling their predictions. It's more than just allotting space for Matthew Slater as an alleged wi

This and That (Ain't No Cure for the Offseason Blues)

August 28, 2013 | John Morgan

The jets front office is a highly combustible minefield of ego, naked ambition, rank incompetence and epic dysfunction. It is entertaining enough, I suppose, for the idiot owner to pit the new humorless grunt/know-it-all general manager against the fun-lo

Patriots using Wi-Fi to keep fans in seats at Gillette Stadium

August 29, 2013 | John Morgan

Along with the Wi-Fi network, the Patriots developed a mobile app called Patriots Game Day Live, available to anyone attending a game at Gillette Stadium. That will include live play-by-play, bathroom wait times, a tool for ordering concessions from your

33 for 11 - Spotlight on the Final Roster Spots

August 29, 2013 | John Morgan

With 80% of the roster set, that leaves 33 players competing for 11 roster spots. Meaningless NFL game? Not to these players - and that makes tonight's game well worth watching. Last Thursday Bill Belichick stated that the roster for the New England Pa

September 03, 2013 | John Morgan

There will be no television live broadcast coverage outside of New England and western New York of next Sunday's game; just the eight stations in New England and seven

Week One TNF: Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos

September 05, 2013 | John Morgan

While the focus is on Denver's addition of Wes Welker and the departure of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed from Baltimore, the key to this game may come down to Manny Ramirez - not the baseball player, but Denver's starting center.

Some surprises in list of NFL's highest paid players

September 06, 2013 | John Morgan

David Harris is a good player, but his being the 9th highest paid player speaks more to the ineptitude of the Jets front office than to his abilities as a football player.

Patriots seek to contain C.J. Spiller, deal with unknowns at Buffalo

Jets at Patriots: why are the Pats favored by so much?

September 12, 2013 | John Morgan

The only explanation for the Patriots being listed as 13 point favorites is the image of the ButtFumble being indelibly etched into the collective consciousness of NFL fans.

NFL Week Two Games

September 14, 2013 | John Morgan

Thursday night's game may have left many fans of the Patriots yearning for more offense, but the result delivered a nice kick start to this year's holiday bonus for me: four units to cover, plus another on the under. Hopefully the correct prognostication

Week Two MNF: Steelers at Bengals

September 16, 2013 | John Morgan

The Steelers are 7-1 on Monday Night Football with Mike Tomlin as their head coach and have won four in a row and 11 of the last 12 meetings at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, but that past history means nothing tonight; the Bengals are much better than

Week 3 NFL Television Coverage, Bucs at Patriots

Once again fans of the Patriots in Connecticut get yet another reason to hate the Giants

This and That (The Long and Winding Road)

September 18, 2013 | John Morgan

After months of forced withdrawal from professional football, it was a bit of a shock to see the New England Patriots play fully one-eighth of their 2013 season in a five day period. I watched the first game on television and attended the second game in p

Week 3 TNF: Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles

September 19, 2013 | John Morgan

These two teams are the most improved clubs in the NFL. A year ago the Eagles were a dismal 4-12, ranking 29th in points scored, 29th in points allowed, and tied with the Chiefs for dead last in turnovers after coughing the ball up an alarming 37 times.

Cleveland Browns show no negotiating skills in trade of Trent Richardson

September 19, 2013 | John Morgan

Ask anybody that has ever worked in corporate sales, and they will tell you that big deals almost never happen until the last day of the month. Irsay and the Colts were bluffing, and Banner and the Browns fell for it.

This and That - Seven Quick Thoughts Heading into Week 3

September 20, 2013 | John Morgan

Thursday night football seems to be a pretty iffy proposition. Coaches have little time to prepare, players have insufficient time to rest and heal, the matchups aren’t all that attractive, the quality of play, at least so far this year, is dreadful - and

Bucs linebackers may create problems for Patriots offense

September 21, 2013 | John Morgan

Tampa Bay's linebackers have improved from being the weak link of a soft defense to a position of strength. Lavonte David, Mason Foster and Dekoda Watson have combined for three picks, two forced fumbles, and five and a half sacks already this season.

Week 4 NFL Television Coverage

September 24, 2013 | John Morgan

Jet fans have to listen to Dan Dierdorf, while most of the country shockingly gets to see Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. New England fans get the announcing crew of Kevin Burkhardt and John Lynch in back-to-back weeks but at least Pats fans outsid

This and That (The Tortoise)

September 25, 2013 | John Morgan

The jets-Bills game on Sunday was actually a sociological experiment where aboriginal savages who had never been exposed to modern society were put in football uniforms, force fed mind-altering drugs, and summarily tossed onto a football field at gunpoint
