Lose to Carolina? No way. It’s just not possible.

Patriot fans have a major problem coming up this Sunday.

It’s beginning to look a lot like…you need to head for your nearest telescope. This has to be something cosmic. Check the planets for alignment. Check for supernovas, asteroids or […]

We’re sorry, but Richard Strauss never promised anyone around here a world championship. The estimable composer who composed the tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra, which eventually gained more fame as […]

Cinderella almost didn’t get to go to that grand ball where her handsome prince/future husband needed to find a bride amongst the single girls in the kingdom.

In a day filled with heroes, nostalgia and excitement, a running back named Smith stood out amongst everything else.

Honk if you’ve ever had Schaefer beer. Honk again if you can remember your last one. Honk still again if you claim the stuff to be your favorite brew.

Now you know for sure what this Patriot team’s destiny is.

The New England Patriots survived a tough Buffalo Bill defense, and got a lucky break on a replay call in overtime.

11-5 is still but a dream. So is 10-6, for that matter.

No way Cleveland was this good.
No Courtney Brown. No Daylon McCutcheon. No Aaron Shea. A pathetic offense that is Kevin Johnson and not much else.

Red Sox fans once liked Carl Everett. For a brief time in the 2000 campaign, Red Sox Nation got a good heapin’ helping of this new slugger from Houston. Everett put up great numbers in the first half of the 2000 season. He had an OPS (that’s on-base percentage plus slugging percentage, for those of you who think Bill James is the devil) of 1.050, second on the club to Nomar Garciaparra. He was the runaway team leader in home runs and RBIs. He was hitting .329 at the All-Star Break.

Honk if you discussed the words “Patriots” and “playoffs” in the same sentence, and the person(s) you were talking to you snuck out to begin lunacy hearings on your behalf.

Considering how lousy the Patriots play in the third quarter this year, you might have wanted to cart out B.B. King and his guitar. Maybe he could write a new song, entitled “Ah’ve got them Patriots Leavin’ Their ‘A’ Game In The Locker Room At Halftime Blues”. Of course, that was not the case on Sunday, as the Patriots never had their “A” game to begin with.

You have to love every moment that you see Bill Belichick roaming the Patriot sidelines.
