Here are my NFL picks for tomorrow and Monday night:
Sunday
Buffalo 31, ST. LOUIS 17 … Bills speed built for this turf
CAROLINA 38, Atlanta 31 … Will be best game of the day
CINCINNATI 20, Cleveland 16 … I pick Carson Palmer over Derek Anderson
DALLAS 27, Washington 24 … Will be close, but Cowboys win
Denver 23, [...]
Here are some Troy Brown career highlights. Get a cup of coffee before reading because it’s going to take a while.
Brown:
Finished his career as the Patriots’ Patriots all-time leading receiver with 557 career receptions. He placed second on the franchise’s receiving yardage list with 6,366 yards.
Is the Patriots all-time leading receiver in the postseason with [...]
I have to head to Boston thus we will move this to Thursday.
I will update with a time.
It will be Patriots and Sox-related.
So get ready to bring them on.
Well, it’s not quite “spygate,” as we know it, but apparently Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has some explaining to do after a laptop was seen in the coaches box at their game in East Lansing, Mich. against Michigan State on Saturday.
NCAA rules state coaches are not allowed to use a working laptop during the [...]
A week ago, nobody was questioning Bill Belichick’s choice for Tom Brady’s backup. That all changed after Sunday’s debacle versus Miami.
Well, you can go on record now.
Is Matt Cassel the right choice to be quarterback for the Patriots for the entire season?
What about Dante Culpepper, who is a former teammate of Randy Moss?
What about Tim [...]
FYI … I will be here on Tuesday to answer any comments, questions or thoughts, live beginning at 1 p.m. on the Patriots.
We will do the same thing on the Red Sox on Thursday, at 1 p.m., as well.
This one was a total demolition, a complete unmasking of a team with some severe flaws.
Not only was Matt Cassel bad, the line play on both sides was horrendous.
We’d love to have your thoughts headed to the bye week followed by two games on the West Coast.
Matt Cassel gets help twice from the umpire, setting the screen on the cornerback and the Pats break the ice with a TD.
28-13, not an unrecoverable deficit, but the defense has to wake up and stop somebody.
Kudos again to Ellis Hobbs. The man’s cover skills are questionable, but he’s totally underrated as an NFL kick [...]
The Dolphins came in with 121 rushing yards, folks. They’ve got 72 on 12 carries through the first half.
Chad Pennington is 12 of 14 for 166 yards.
And Joey Porter has been silenced by the Pats offensive line. NOT!
The Dolphin voice box has two sacks already.
First half grades for the Pats:
Offense
Line (F) … Matt Cassel is [...]
The Pats defense watches Miami go 79 yards on six plays to take a 14-3 lead. Can somebody please tell safety James Sanders that he’s the 180-pounder and 250-pound tight ends like Anthony Fasano and David Martin aren’t going to run by him.
James, get into the action, or get out of the game. Martin and [...]
