I have a few friends in the Miami area and yesterday I was told by one of them, who has ties to the authorities, that Sean Taylor’s death was from a robbery gone bad. Word was the someone related to Taylor had told some people that he kept large sums of money — in the [...]
Let’s say the money was right, as far as Red Sox officials are concerned, say $130 million over seven years. Let’s say the Red Sox agree to give Clay Buchholz, a potential top-of-the-rotation starter. Let’s say the Red Sox agree to a prospect in Double-A, whom the Sox and Twins agree will be a Major [...]

If the Red Sox want Johan Santana, probably among the top five starting pitchers in baseball, they can probably have him. But it’s going to cost them. According to two separate sources the Red Sox would have to, in the very least, give the Twins two of their best young pitchers, Clay Buchholz and Jon [...]
One of New England’s favorite sons isn’t going anywhere. The Patriots informed Troy Brown today that he will be activated to the 53-man roster this week. Brown, who has been injured for what would be his 15th season with the Patriots, was informed of the move today by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. The move [...]

Just got back from an event in North Andover at Joe Fish’s Seafood Restaurant (my favorite!) in North Andover. I was not only there to eat but listen to Tom Brady, the elder, talk to a men’s group out of St. Michael’s parish in town. Anyway, Brady, 63, was fabulous. He left no question unanswered, [...]
Ugly? Absolutely. But this is late November, a few days after Thanksgiving, when style points don’t mean much any more. The Patriots 31-28 win last night over the Eagles was definitely among the ugliest of their 11 wins this season. And a few questions marks developed. But a few good things happened, too. Here are [...]
Coming off one of my better weeks (13-3) after several slumps, I feel good about this week. My pick of the century … I mean year … is the Monday night game. Have a nice weekend. I’ll be at the Patriots-Eagles game on Sunday night. I also have a story for Sunday’s E-T on Patriots [...]
With Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes announcing his retirement today, I have a little story about how he almost became a Patriot rather than a Chief when the Baltimore Ravens let him go after the 2000 season. The Patriots front office had decided that Holmes would be their No. 1 choice at running [...]
I have a column in today’s newspaper about this very subject: Are the Patriots running up the score? With the inference being, are they piling it on when the dogs should be called off? No. Let me explain. If the Patriots had one or two blowouts, and kept Tom Brady in the game, throwing until [...]
