Ravens’ Terrell Suggs mocks Patriots with expletives, insults

By

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was anything but a gracious winner as his team defeated the New England Patriots to advance to the Super Bowl. Suggs looked like a jackass with these postgame comments: "These are the most arrogant pricks in the world, starting with [coach Bill] Belichick on down. Tell them to have fun at the Pro Bowl. Arrogant fuckers." Oh wait, … [Read more...] about Ravens’ Terrell Suggs mocks Patriots with expletives, insults

Patriots honoring Newton victims, Kraft family donating $25,000

By

  Pictured above is the Newtown, CT helmet decal the New England Patriots will wear tonight when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in what could very likely be a Super Bowl 47 preview. But do remember that as big a NFL game this is, it's still meaningless in the grand scheme of life. Sports are a distraction from life, not life itself. And a lot of people have … [Read more...] about Patriots honoring Newton victims, Kraft family donating $25,000

Asante Samuel coming back to the Patriots?

By

If Deion Branch and Josh McDaniels can come back into the fold, there's no reason Asante Samuel can't do the same. This year's Wes Welker franchise tag situation is similar to how it played out when the New England Patriots slapped the tag on Branch and Samuel in the past. If Welker, wants to hold out, and leave- fine. He'll soon see the grass was greener where he was. … [Read more...] about Asante Samuel coming back to the Patriots?

Patriots front-runner for Tim Tebow? Jaguars, Dolphins also in the mix

By

Word is all over the internets today that the Peyton Manning deal is done. He'll sign with the Denver Broncos. Which means jettisoning incumbent starter and 2011 franchise identity Tim Tebow. And surprisingly John Fox and John Elway aren't expecting much in return for Tebow; therefore it's a buyer's market. The most logical landing spot might be with the offensive … [Read more...] about Patriots front-runner for Tim Tebow? Jaguars, Dolphins also in the mix

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

By

Here we go- two 5-2 NFL clubs with eyes on winning their respective East divisions. And of course New England Patriots vs. New York Giants is a rematch of Super Bowl XL. Most people remember that game from the moment above, when an obscure loser named David Tyree- who never again caught a NFL pass, was the unlikeliest of heroes.

New England Patriots Find New Tailback in Stevan Ridley?

By

How much longer are the New England Patriots going to go with the Law Firm and Woodhead approach at tailback? Don’t get me wrong, it’s working for them, both BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead are serviceable to solid, but I wonder if they’ll ever bring back a feature back mentality. The last bulk carrier was Corey Dillon and that was over three years ago. Many … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Find New Tailback in Stevan Ridley?
