The grades are in this Tuesday morning, and they're not pretty. The best grade Ron Borges can hand out is a "B" to the running backs, while the linebackers get a "F." He lists Chad O’Shea under the "Back of the Pack" with the comment "His special teams weren't." One problem there, Scott O'Brien is the … Continue reading Patriots Still Licking Their Wounds
Jets Can Walk The Talk, Too
You know, it's hard to put together morning links when I have absolutely no interest in reading anything written about yesterday's Patriots loss to the New York Jets. I have no interest in revisiting that game. I know some of you do, though. Chris Warner has the Gut Check on Patriots Daily, while Jeremy Gottlieb already … Continue reading Jets Can Walk The Talk, Too
Doing the Friday Megalinks
Ok. After hardly doing links this week, it's time to make up for it today. And I hope to finish this during the day. Let's get to it. First, the Weekend Viewing Picks.

Jets Continue Brash Talk About Patriots
The Rex Ryan-led New York Jets continue to use every opportunity they can to talk about what they're going to do to the Patriots on Sunday. Yesterday, safety Kerry Rhodes talked about how the Jets will "try to embarass" the Patriots on Sunday, and to "make them feel bad." Rhodes says "enough is enough" when … Continue reading Jets Continue Brash Talk About Patriots
Angels Get One, Salvage Dignity
Josh Beckett held a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning last night with two outs and runners on second and third. With two strikes on Chone Figgins, Beckett unleashed his offering towards home plate. Figgins swung and missed for strike three, inning over. Except the inning wasn't over. The ball went between the legs of … Continue reading Angels Get One, Salvage Dignity

Week Log: One Good Turn Deserves Another
It's been a week of comebacks, as the Patriots turned an 11-point deficit into a one-point victory in the final 2:06 on Monday and the Red Sox followed with three hits, two walks, and two runs - all with two outs in the ninth - to win last night. Let's go to the gridiron first. … Continue reading Week Log: One Good Turn Deserves Another
Patriots Prepping Without Mayo
The Patriots are making their preparations for their game against the New York Jets on Sunday, and doing so without middle linebacker Jerod Mayo. Greg Doyle gives us his first impressions of the Jets, and looks at a few Jets who could figure big in this game. Christopher L. Gasper has Jets coach Rex Ryan doing all he … Continue reading Patriots Prepping Without Mayo
Another Comeback For the Sox
The Sox made a few comebacks last night, culminating in an unlikely ninth inning rally in which shortstops Nick Green and Alex Gonzalez both played key roles. The Red Sox beat the Angels 9-8 at Fenway, and coupled with another Rangers loss, now sit 6 ½ games ahead in the wild card. John Tomase says that the … Continue reading Another Comeback For the Sox
Dice is Snake Eyes in Return
Daisuke Matsuzaka made his return to the Red Sox rotation last night, and had easily his best start of the season. He pitched into the seventh inning, allowing only three hits and no runs. The Red Sox beat the Angels 4-1 at Fenway Park last night. David Ortiz set the career home run mark for a … Continue reading Dice is Snake Eyes in Return
