Here are 10 things we learned last night at Gillette Stadium in the Patriots sixth AFC Championship in seven years: 1. Laurence Maroney getting better. Last week I said “Maroney is back.” I probably should have added … and better than ever. This really is the guy we saw on film at the University of [...]
I will give a report on the game, what we learned, and a few other tidbits. See you a little later, about 10 a.m. If you have any questions, send them in.
Well, we have a game. Before the half ended, after the 40 yard field by Nate Kaeding, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers ran to the locker room, probably for a little medical attention. He has been limping a bit the entire game. A few thoughts: 1. The Chargers are forcing the pass. It is surprising, but [...]
As the teams took the field from their respective locker rooms, Patriot Richard Seymour and Charger Marcus McNeil were seen arguing on the field, almost going face to face. The two apparently know each other as McNeil, a left tackle, usually blocks Seymour, a right defensive end. McNeil’s teammates pulled him away. You may want [...]

Some faces in the crowd: Former Congressman Marty Meehan, who now leads the UMass-Lowell; Sox pitcher and Steelers fan Curt Schilling (apparently the Red Sox have a booth); Injured Patriots Rosevelt Colvin was walking through the media room to the Patriots players box. He had a brace, on rollers, supporting one of his knees while [...]
The inactives are out and it’s official. Chargers QB Philip Rivers is playing. In fact, he looks pretty mobile here on the field for pregame practice. Running back LaDanian Tomlinson, the NFL’s leader in also looks fine during warmups. Tight end Antonio Gates looked a little bit on the injured side, not as sharp on [...]
It’s very cold and very windy. And it’s only 12:30 p.m. You can expect the worst for the AFC Championship | lots of wind and bone-chilling temperatures | today. Patriots punter Chris Hanson was out early punting balls and everything went hard toward the Patriots sidelines. The wind is swirling. It is not going to [...]
There was a winner last week. This week’s winner will also win a $50 gift certificate to The Loft Restaurant (if you are local) or the restaurant of your choice if you are not. I predict the Patriots, 31-13.
Here we go: AFC Championship NEW ENGLAND 31, San Diego 13 I believe the Patriots play it close for the first half and then go for jugular in the second half. The Patriots have too much weaponry and they can run the ball, which will be important today. The Chargers don’t have the offense to [...]
I’m ready. Let ‘em rip. I will be here until 10 p.m. Anything you want to ask or comment on about the Patriots, I am game.
