Why are the Bruins getting a free pass?
The NHL playoffs are the best of all of the four major sports in terms of teams taking their game and passion to another level.

Patriots Undrafted Free Agents Review
By Chris Warner New England entered the draft needing defensive help and went after it, snatching pass-rushers (Chandler Jones, Dont’a Hightower and Jake Bequette, oh my!) plus defensive backs (Tavon Wilson, Nate Ebner, Alfonzo Dennard) before snagging a receiver (Jeremy Ebert) in Round Seven.

Patriots Draft Potential: Defensive Backs
By Chris Warner Let’s look at some possible 2012 additions who could bolster New England’s defensive backfield. Last season the Patriots’ lineup of DBs went through a revolving door, if said door was hooked onto some super-fast thresher. Has-beens, Never-weres and Someday-might-bes helped contribute to a consistently poor passing defense that never seemed to form … Continue reading Patriots Draft Potential: Defensive Backs
Patriots Draft Potential: Offensive Linemen
By Chris Warner Today we preview possible New England draft picks for the guys up front protecting quarterback Tom Brady. In 2012, the Patriots got surprise performances from veterans Matt Light and Brian Waters.
