This marked the first time in more than 100 years that a team in the four major pro sports opened a season with 18 straight victories. The record for wins to start a season was set in 1884 by St. Louis in baseball's Union Association, the Elias Sports Bureau said. ...

I heard Steve Young after the game say that during the 49er's great, dominate years they would always have a lull during the year where, in thier case, they would lose games and not play well for stretch or barely win and even get lucky. I don't believe any of the teams that had dominate...

I had the pleasure of going to the Miami, Washington and Indianapolis game in succesion. If they were playing this week I'd be going to another. Monday I'm back to work. Also caught my 40th HS reunion while in Mass which was just coincidence that it fell during these 3 weeks. I pick 3 of my...

Some very young Colt's fan at the game yesterday had a sign that said something like Just Say No to Hoodie's or something. Cute little kid. This was outside the dome. Anyway, when I went in I saw Dungy on the sidelines during warmups and saw him in his usual blue sweater vest, I wondered why...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012007 I switched from the Pats game during a TO and saw this. The guy never moved after he was hit. I hope the guy is OK for his life even if football is over.

From Riess's Football Notes: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/articles/2007/08/19/tag_can_be_a_touchy_subject/?page=4 They need an NBA-like rookie pay scale.

On 3 subjects that have been discussed here a lot. Harrison's pay cut and if he had extra info on it: Unfortunately, I don't have any more information on it, or I would have reported it. I do know Harrison is fine with the change and feels he can earn the money back. My feeling, and this is...

Last season the Patriots had almost all new WR's and much of the story all year was how Brady was having trouble jelling with the new guys. This year the top 3 WR's are likely to be new guys again. Same issue's? IMO, the Passing O will hit it off right from the start as opposed to last year...

What is it about Glenn when he plays for Parcells that he looks all world for him? He's got 2 TD passes already today and I've watched the Boys a lot this year and watched them last year and he's been playing very well. I know he just didn't work out here and this isn't about saying...

The Patriots are getting some good play out of thier rookie's so far. Marooney and Callaghan have played well in 2 games. Jackson played well today and Thomas looks like a good 3rd TE. He has 2 good ones ahead of him. Andrews is good on ST's. Thier making good, mostly positive contributions.

I guess some of you don't read Rom Borgass anymore. When he doesn't write about BB or the Patriots he's not so bad. Had some stuff about what happened at the NFL owners meeting to do the CBA extension and had 2 funny quotes which shows the animosity between the large and small revenue clubs...

What a crazy day. I was home all day doing home stuff so I was following the reports all day. ESPN's Chris Mortensen now says there has been a deal reached. The NFLPA gave the league a proposal and the NFL countered. The NFLPA rejected it and decided a deal wasn't possible and left. Then...

With FA about to start at 6:00pm EST, Chris Mortensen just said at 5:00pm that he heard the NFL is going to ask the NFLPA for another delay of FA until Wednesday at 4:00pm. If they agree to a % of revenue to the players that's too high, without a new revenue sharing deal amoungst the owners...
