Better Than 2007? Lets Hope.
The way the Patriots offense has been running as of late, the comparisons to 2007 are inevitable. Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti spent quite a bit of time yesterday rehashing the 2007 team, and their ultimate failure on the biggest stage. While it might seem easy to just compare to prolific offenses which happen to have … Continue reading Better Than 2007? Lets Hope.
Who Ordered The Jets “Sideline Wall?”
This goes a little outside the usual realm of this blog, but I'm not seeing much discussion of this in the media. Check out this photo of the Jets sideline: Note the blue line.

Patriots Keep Rolling, Bury Bears 36-7, Improve to 11-2
The Patriots clinched a playoff spot in snowy Chicago yesterday, jumping out to a 33-0 halftime lead, and beating the Bears 36-7.

Celtics Edge Sixers On Last Second Hoop
The Celtics struggled much of the night last in Philadelphia, looking like a tired, beat up team. Missing much of their front line, and with Paul Pierce battling the flu, the Celtics struggled to the finish with the upstart Sixers and a fired up Philly crowd. With the Celtics trailing by a point with 6 … Continue reading Celtics Edge Sixers On Last Second Hoop
Sox Nab Crawford, Willingness To Spend No Longer Questioned
The Red Sox made a surprising signing last night, agreeing to terms with former Tampa outfielder Carl Crawford on a seven year contract that will pay out about $142 million over that span. Peter Abraham and The Boston Globe were the first to report this story last night around midnight.
