It’s a dumb debate that never should have reared its ugly head in the first place. Everybody knows the truth: Darrelle Revis is an exceptionally talented cornerback, arguably the best in the game. And like every other cornerback in the game, he sometimes plays zone, and he sometimes get double...

When New England took Malcolm Williams in the seventh round (219 overall), quite a few draft followers were surprised. That group included Williams himself. The Texas Christian defensive back played two seasons for the Horned Frogs at safety and cornerback. A successful pro day put him on the...

Chris Warner of PD sat down with Patriots third round draft pick Stevan Ridley to talk about being picked by the Patriots and to get some background on him. Patriots Daily Q&A With Stevan Ridley

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here. Commissioner Goodell is satisfied. Satisfied that the New York Jets’ tripping incident (“Thighgate” I think they’re calling it now) has been resolved fairly and judiciously, just as he was satisfied two weeks ago with the Broncos videotaping incident...

I don’t know how to say this without sounding like the worst kind of dyed-in-the-wool homer, so I’ll just give it my best John Madden: Now I kinda like what the Patriots are doing. I hated the Randy Moss trade, every single aspect of it. The timing (coming off their biggest win of the season)...

It was another busy week over at Patriots Daily: Worry Wart – Game Three vs. Bills - By Chris Warner. From The506.com – Where Patriots-Bills Will Be Shown First Impressions – Buffalo Bills - By Greg Doyle. Ticket Watch – Bills at Patriots Matchups Of The Week – Patriots vs. Bills...

For the seventh year in a row, New England started off the season with a win. Although that victory came against a highly-touted Cincinnati squad, we can still take it with a grain of salt the size of a paperweight. The Patriots travel to the brand new, Not-Just-For-Giants Stadium to battle...

The Jets were the talk of the nation this off-season where both they and their admirers in the media spouted off how they were “loaded” with talent and were “soon to be champs.” In August they appeared on the HBO series “Hard Knocks”, an inside documentary that showed all aspects of their...

Christmas came early for the Shaughnessy clan. Randy Moss spoke. Dan Shaughnessy loves material that writes itself. Hell, he’s written the same column for twenty years. You know the formula: take newsworthy item, add outdated cultural references and dumb nicknames, relate the item somehow...

his Patriots season is being anticipated with doom and gloom not seen in these parts since the end of the Pete Carroll era. Here’s a sampling of opinions I’ve heard on the Patriots from the media and fans in recent weeks: (And for the record, I’m not suggesting that all these are...

Note: If you visited Patriots Daily in the last week, you may have gotten a warning that the site had been infected with Malware, and reported as a possible "attack site" - that is all cleared up now, hackers have been banished. Preseason games should be fun to watch, because we get to check...

Preseason games usually lack much significance, but 2010’s friendly contests mean more than before. With two dozen draft picks over the past two years and countless new players (and by countless, I mean like six), fans are watching these games with the attentiveness of an overcaffeinated Where’s...

Some call it running back by committee, or RRBC. Some see it as proof that no one really sticks out. With a recent Sports Illustrated cover story on the fast decline of feature backs (not exactly news – remember Marion Butts’ time in Foxboro?) it seems that the Patriots have found a temporary...

After wringing our hands all summer over myriad aspects of New England Version 2010, the home boys came to play last week, gaining a 17-7 lead over the Saints on their way to a meaningless-yet-enjoyable 27-24 win. This week, the locals have trekked down to Atlanta to share a practice field and a...

Mid-August. Training camp is pretty much over. Each of the NFL’s 32 teams are at least one game into their preseason schedules. And what do we know? To sort of quote the eminently quotable Jim Mora, former Colts and Saints head coach, “diddley poo.” Around The League – Preseason Week One

If you can take one thing away from last night’s game, it was the performance of the first and second year guys. In a preseason opening game, it’s difficult to single out one players, since playing time fluctuates so much. So for the first Patriots Daily gameball of 2010, we’re going to hand it...

This is a listing of the outlets that will carry the Patriots preseason games that are produced by Kraft Sports Productions - including tonight's game against the Saints. Patriots 2010 Preseason Television Network

After a long, shaky off-season full of hope – as in I hope this year is better than last – Patriots fans get treated to a friendly vs. the team they rooted for in the Super Bowl, aka Not The Colts. With the much-ballyhooed retirement of past Pats heroes and two dozen rookies selected in the...

We’re now roughly ten practices into Patriots training camp, have yet to see a preseason game or scrimmage, and yet you might already be sick of hearing about Brady’s contract, Burgess’ retirement, the franchise’s decline or the failure of the team in recent drafts. If it is this bad now, how...

If you’ve listened to sports radio or read anything on Boston.com or CSNNE.com recently, you know that the Patriots and Tom Brady are embroiled in a bitter, bitter contract dispute, with both sides trading barbs in the media and each side refusing to budge an inch from their positions. It’s...
