A Patriots’ source has refuted a claim by Jets head coach Eric Mangini. The Jets coach said the Patriots gave the Jets permission to have a Jets cameraman on the sideline — Mangini said it was for a end zone view for their game on Nov. 12, 2006 — which was won by the Jets [...]

That’s right. The former Rams head coach and current offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, Mike Martz, says the Patriots offense is the best he’s ever seen. I contacted Martz at his office last night and he couldn’t have been more complimentary to the Patriots and especially Bill Belichick, whom he called a “unique individual” [...]
In case you didn’t know, Mike Tomlin doesn’t like the Bill Belichick. I’m not quite sure if it goes both ways, but my guess is that it is. At his weekly press conference (Why does Tomlin only have one, compared to Belichick’s four per week?), Tomlin was asked about Belichick’s comments on WEEI on Monday [...]
I realize Tom Brady is going to win the MVP of the league, hence he’s MVP of the Patriots, but I wonder if Randy Moss deserves the honor as much as he does. Moss is going to break the all-time receiving TD record (22 by Jerry Rice) and Brady will probably break the all-time passing [...]
Here are some of the today’s questions asked by the media which follow the New York Jets to head coach Eric Mangini about the “spy-gate” issue surrounding this game: Q. What kind of atmosphere do you expect up there? Everything that transpired with the Spy Game thing. Do you feel there’s going to be a [...]
The NFL’s “Flex Schedule” is biting the Patriots again, this time their game against the Miami Dolphins in two weeks at Gillette Stadium. The game time has been moved from 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., making a nationally-televised game. This was only a formality in waiting as the country is enamored with the Patriots quest [...]
It really was an eye-opener. The New England Patriots had a lot to play for — their pride, first and foremost — and they played like champions. Here are 10 things we learned last night at Gillette Stadium: 1. Steelers are not on par with Patriots. If that’s the best defense in the NFL, I’m [...]

For those hoping to get a look at Troy Brown, you’re going to have to wait at least another week. The 15-year receiver was put on the inactive list for today’s game. Also joining Brown from the Steelers is another key “Troy,” Polamalu. The safety hurt his groin two weeks ago and was “doubtful” since [...]
A few pre-game tidbits: A small airplane has flown over Gillette Stadium the last half hour toting a sign that reads, in big letters: Bonds: 756* Belichick: 3 Super Bowls* The point, of course, insinuating the Patriots Super Bowls deserve an asterisk. I wonder how much Tony Dungy paid for the ad? *** Snow way! [...]
Here are my picks for this weekend. I will have a separate explanation on the Pats-Steelers game tomorrow: Sunday’s games NEW ENGLAND 38, Pittsburgh 13 … Steelers pay for kicking wounded dog BUFFALO 31, Miami 17 … Bills have quietly had a nice season CINCINNATI 38, St. Louis 20 … Time for Bengals to show [...]
