Tom Brady is a two-time league MVP and winner of three Super Bowls. He threw for 5,235 yards during the season, second in NFL history to Drew Brees' 5,476 (also this season).

Yet it seemed like the media completely ignored him this … [Read more...] about Tom Brady No Longer Toils in Relative Obscurity; Tosses TD Pass Record

New England Patriots Running the Table to End Regular Season?

By

On Nov 6th, the New England Patriots 2011 season hit rock bottom. The New York Giants had gotten the best of them yet again, and although it was a close, last second loss on a questionable play, it was very deflating. Especially when combined with the one-sided defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers the week before, it was rare back to back losses for Tom Brady and company. Then … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Running the Table to End Regular Season?

New England Patriots vs. New York Giants: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Johnson was their "best" DB) and the 2010 Houston Texans (you and I could have burned them for a TD...if we had a good QB getting us the ball). It's that the Patriots have the worst pass defense … [Read more...] about Steelers Hines Ward is Right- New England Secondary is AWFUL

There's something very extraordinary about New England Patriots offensive lineman Marcus Cannon, who practiced Tuesday for the first time this season. Cannon, a fifth-round pick out of TCU, found out he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (strains of which are some of the deadliest cancers out there) just days before the NFL Draft last April.
