Patriots Hold Off Manning, Broncos
For most of this week, on sports radio anyway, you'll probably hear non-stop about Wes Welker saying that it was 'nice to stick it in Bill's face' and about Stevan Ridley's fourth quarter fumble, which apparently completely invalidated his 151 yards and a touchdown yesterday.

New England 5-3? Second Quarter 2012 Predictions
You know, a .500 record in September isn’t that bad, people. When we predicted a slow 2-2 start by the Patriots in our preseason column, we were met with, shall we say, resistance (link here).
