In a subscriber only article in the Boston Globe, it is reported that two economists from the Wharton School of economics have spent years analyzing the NFL draft determining if first-round picks are worth it. They concluded that 2nd round draft picks are on average 15% and up to 25% more...

I work with the mentally ill, and 3 years ago I ran a spirituality group for the chronically mentally ill (those who have schizophrenia and other very serious disorders). During my first group, I went around the room and asked what spirituality meant to them. One of them, a man who rarely said a...

Let's just enjoy the ride, the extra games we get every year, and sooner or later our turn will come again, when we enter the post season injury free, when a tipped ball lands in the hands of one of our corners, and then we win another Superbowl. The Pats, the Ravens, the 49ers, and a few other...

So, you really think that we still have the same advantage with Belichick that we had in the 2001 to 2006 era? You don't think that other coaches around the league have learned from Belichick and have studied the Pats. If there's nonsense, it's in your reasoning. It's quite obvious that teams...

Teams finally know how to play against Brady; they know his strengths and weaknesses well. That's the disadvantage of being a highly experienced QB. I don't think Brady has lost much as a QB, it's just that our opponents have a deeper understanding of how he plays, what he does well, and what he...

I have been saying this for a few years now. The problem with having as your coach the greatest coach of the era if not of all time is that everyone mimics him, everyone studies him, and everyone tries to design their teams to beat him. The reality is that Belichick has demonstrated his ability...

Well, another season where we lucky Pats fans get a longer season than almost everyone else, but it sure sucks that we finished was such a whimper. Neither our O or D looked good in this game.

Remember when Brady was the greatest QB and Belichick was the great defensive coach?

Re: No Media outrage over John Fox's decision for Denver with 30 sec left in the game Fox's decision there was really strange. Why not at least try a running play. If you pick up a few yards, you can decide what to do next. It's decisions like that that sometimes make me wonder if the...

Those of us who follow the Pats and have rooted for them for years know beyond a doubt they are a dynasty. A dynasty in my opinion breaks records and gets into playoffs year after year after years, with a few Super Bowl victories along the way. The Pats have been a dynasty for a decade and...

Re: Enjoy your MVP trophy Manning You're talking 2011. I'm talking 2012. That seems to be the problem. I didn't say they would never have made the playoffs in 2011 without Manning. Like a lot of teams, the Bronco's had a lot of changes in their roster between 2011 and 2012. If Tebow was QB...

Re: Enjoy your MVP trophy Manning Yeah, Tebow, Manning, and Brady, the three great. Are you really serious? Even the Jets were smart enough not to use him much. His whole story was that of a religious dude who seemed to win miracle games. Tebow ranked 28th among QBs in 2011. Peyton is number...

Re: Enjoy your MVP trophy Manning Uh, yeah, right, Tebow and Peyton are equals ;) Tebow was a one year wonder and had a lot of luck to get as far as he did, winning very close games as I recall. I like Manning because so many of the best Pats games were against the Colts. Those were games...

Re: Enjoy your MVP trophy Manning Peyton's a great player, and what a great comeback story for him. The Broncos only went as far as they did because of him. They would have never made the playoffs without him. That said, Flacco's deep ball reminds me of the old Peyton, and that makes me nervous...

Re: Divisonal round breakdown: Ravens at Broncos The officiating is really disturbing in this game. I think there have been a lot of bad calls that have hurt both teams, and I really don't care who wins. The Pats can handle either team if the Pats play well. And the announcers are terrible too...

Re: Divisonal round breakdown: Ravens at Broncos This is awful officiating. They are ruining the game.
