This from the Patriots media staff: IF THE PATRIOTS WIN TODAY, THEY WOULD… · Become the second team in the NFL’s 88-year history to achieve an undefeated and untied record throughout the regular season and playoffs, joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins (17-0). · Set the all-time NFL record for most overall victories in a season [...]
Final thoughts as the third quarter kickoff approaches: What are you thinking in the locker-room right now if you’re a player on either team? If I’m a Giant, I say we played a perfect defensive half and we’re two costly turnovers from the lead. But I’m also questioning things. How long can we stop the [...]
If you’re a Giants fan … perfect. The Giants game plan is evident, just run the clock, run the football and try to keep it close. For my money, that’s a loser’s mentality, as the last group of Pats’ opponents has seen. They’re trying to lose with dignity. To beat a goliath like New England, [...]
Opening quarter thoughts: The Randall Gay arm injury, suffered on the opening Giants drive had to cause a lump in Bill Belichick’s throat. The Pats have endured some brutal secondary injury problems in Super Bowls. The coach has to be praying it doesn’t happen again. Laurence Maroney looks fresh and ready to run. Randy Moss [...]

How’s this for a stat? The Patriots have lost the toss in every playoff game. In fact, they lost it in their regular season finale against the Giants.
Troy Brown was among seven Patriots on the inactive list. The 15-year receiver, who has probably played his final game (vs. Jacksonville in AFC Divisional), is expected to hang up his cleats. The fact that he’s inactive is no surprise. He played in only one game against the Dolphins, the Patriots 15th win of the [...]

Here are 5 quick reasons: 1. The weather has not been what we expected all week. It has been aroun 50 degrees for most of the week, colder in the mornings and nights. And today, it’s raining. 2. A bottle of imported beer here University of Phoenix Stadium costs $15. That’s not a misprint. 3. [...]
It’s funny. Last summer when then-Detroit Tiger Sean Casey was in Lawrence visiting his friend Fr. Paul O’Brien at the St. Patrick’s sponsored food pantry, the Cor Unum Meal Center on Salem Street. Fr. O’Brien not only performed Casey’s marriage, but he has baptized Casey’s three children. Anyway, I asked Casey about coming to the [...]
This is comes with a slight hesitation because I believe the Giants are really the best team in the NFC, better than Dallas and Green Bay, which they beat on the road in successive games. They also have held up fabulously here in the Greater Phoenix area. Tom Coughlin gets an “A+” for eliminating all [...]
I’ve arrived at my seat and forget about the Patriots, as I said earlier this week, the University of Phoenix Stadium is perfect. It really is. As I sit here, in the corner of the “Giants” end zone, on the Patriots side of the field, the roof is closed with rain expected this afternoon, this [...]
