We may want to put this guy at the top of the NFL heap in terms of NFL quarterbacks. He’s that good, particularly when it counts the most. I write a column in Monday’s Eagle-Tribune sports on this very subject. Also, the odds are out and the Steelers are favored over the Green Bay Packers [...]
AFC Championship, N.Y. Jets at Pittsburgh: How could a guy pick the Jets to score six points and lose by five-plus touchdowns one week pick those same Jets to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh? Because. The Jets showed me something against the Patriots, which I believe would beat the Jets seven or eight times out [...]

The Patriots announced the signing of seven free agents, all practice squad members at the end of this season, including Andover’s Buddy Farnham. Farnham, 6-foot and 185 pounds, was originally signed by the Patriots as a rookie free agent out of Brown University on May 3, 2010 and was released on Aug. 9 before being [...]
It isn’t often I will side with the Jets when it comes to the Patriots, but in this instance I am J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets. A few Patriots after the game, particuarly Deion Branch, alluded to a few of the Jets as being classless after their celebration. Jets future Hall of Fame cornerback Darrelle Revis [...]
Here’s the silver lining from yesterday’s misery at Gillette Stadium: The Patriots got a slightly better draft pick.

The Patriots get the 17th overall pick [...]

Call is humor. Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker was among three players interviewed this morning and it was probably more than a coincidence that he used one particular word about fvie times. The word? Foot. The Gresh and Zo show on the Sports Hub, 98.5 FM, played clips of the press conference. Indeed. It comes [...]
This is all over the Internet, worth a chuckle … Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colts flag in the window. “This house is yours for eternity, Peyton,” said God. “This is very [...]
Here are some highlights from a relatively non-informative conference call with Patriots coach Bill Belichick: On the Jets team he saw yesterday BELICHICK: They’re pretty much the same team. Obviously, they didn’t have a good night that night. But, they do a good job running the ball. They’ve got big play receivers and tight ends. [...]
