At risk of getting attacked by the Welker lovers, let me say this. As long as Wes Welker is the focus of this offense we will never win the SB. Sure he is a talented player, but he still drops a lot of easy passes. Never mind the Super Bowl. If Welker catches that ball in the third quarter at...

I just read that Mike Ditka just suffered a stroke. I heard it was minor. As much as I dislike the guy I hope he has a speedy recovery. Come on, Iron Mike. Get well soon.

What do you think the games will be like this weekend? Will they be better, worse, or about the same. I think it will be worse and bye a lot. Coaches now know that they can intimidate these referees. They are going to be in their ear all game trying to influence calls and the scabs will wilt and...

I have a question about a certain scenario that could happen in a game. Say you are on offense and you are on the 6 yard line ready to score. It is 3rd and 4. You can get a first down at the 2. Before the ball is snapped the defense jumps offsides. The ball is placed half way to the goal which...

I was watching the NFL channel the other day and their Top Ten series has done shows doing the Steelers, Packers, and Cowboys. I was wondering what Patriots they would put on it. It is a lot harder to come up with this list than I thought. I had to leave some pretty good guys off my list. I'll...

I thought getting Jones and Hightower on the first day was a funny coincidence. But then I saw that the director's last name was Wilson. OMG! Do you think Belichick confused the list of Police Academy's cast as the Patriots draftboard? It could explain the Wilson pick in the second round. Maybe...

1a. Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise State. I don't think he gets by the Packers, so if the Patriots want him, They will have to get him here. 1b. Kendall Reyes, DE, Connecticut. Versatile player, can play anywhere on the DL. 2a. Mike Adams, T, Ohio State. He will drop because of a positive drug...

I am still shocked that this was called. How many times have you seen a QB just chuck the ball to get rid of it and nothing is called? I've seen QBs toss it out of bounds 20 yards over everyones head and intentional grounding is never called. Is it because it was in bounds, that they called it...

I keep hearing a lot about spygate these last couple of weeks and I can't believe how stupid some people really are. Sure, the coaching signals were taped, but they are seen by 70,000 people and the Patriots were filming right in the open. They weren't hiding it. But it is the logistics that...

After spending yesterday and most of today hyping the fact that Suggs is going to be on to debate Skip Bayless, he was a no-show. That's twice this week he hasn't showed up. Let's hope he does the same on Sunday. This does show the lack of class and professionalism that Suggs has. I...

I just read that Bubba Smith passed away. Great player in his day. Pretty funny in the "Police Academy" movies. Cause of death is unknown but does not appear suspicious. RIP, Bubba.

Sam is being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this weekend. He was one of my favorite players when he was with the Patriots and this is a well deserved honor. When he was interviewed on ESPN earlier today, he was wearing a polo shirt with the Patriot logo on it. Glad to see he...

This is the third year in a row that the Patriots have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds. This is what I would like to see the Patriots do. Not really a mock, more of a wish list: 17- JJ Watt, DE. He would be a perfect fit for the Patriots. He rushes the passer well and is stout against the run...

Goodell said that if there was no agreement in place before the CBA expired he would take a salary cut to one dollar. This whole mess is just further proof to me of the mans incompetence. When this thing is finally settled, he should be fired. I highly doubt that he is going to tun down 10...

After reading some of the posts here time for something positive. I think we should just relax and thank the Patriots for their effort and giving us an entertaining year. When this year started, expectations were really low for the Patriots. Consider that we lost starters Nick Kaczur, Ty Warren...

In the Chiefs-Ravens game a couple of calls stood out to me. First was when they called KC for roughing the passer. The defensive player for the Chiefs was on the ground and dove at Flacco's knee. A perfect example of the so-called "Tom Brady rule". I wonder if the Ravens are going to change...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the statitics for roughing the passer calls. Specifically what teams get the most calls in their favor and what teams get the most calls against them. I have been having a discussion at work with fans of other teams and they keep telling me the NFL protects...

When we got Belichick from the Jets, they got the Patriots first round draft pick. Does anyone remember who the Jets got with that pick? Ten years later it seems like one of the best uses of a first round draft pick for the Patriots. Doubt it worked out for the Jets.

This is not without precedent. Belichick got rid of Terry Glenn when he became a problem. Same thing with Deion Branch. No one is bigger then the team. It turns out that Belichick has made the right decision every time. After Glenn left, it enabled Troy Brown to step up and be a great receiver...

Manute Bol passed away on Saturday at the age of 47. He had Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which is a painful skin disease. I remember him as a pretty decent shot blocker and rebounder. I was always afraid one of his legs would snap. I laughed when he attempted to play hockey. This is sad news. Here...
