They include poor defense, inability to win on the road, and poor second half performances. The Patriots made nice progress in all three areas last night, taking a 7-6 halftime deficit and turning it into … Continue reading Patriots Romp To Special Win In Miami
“Four Days In October” Preview
I just finished watching the screener DVD of Four Days In October, the ESPN 30-For-30 film that makes its debut tomorrow night at 8:00 PM on ESPN.

Sox Say Good-Bye To 2010
The Red Sox wrapped up the 2010 season with a 8-4win over the New York Yankees at Fenway Park yesterday afternoon. It was an injury-riddled, ultimately disappointing season that still managed its share of feel-good moments and things never really got ugly around the team, unlike other non-playoff teams of the last 10 years (2001 … Continue reading Sox Say Good-Bye To 2010

Patriots Look To Avoid Miami’s Vise
(Yes, that's "vise" not "vice.") Playing in Miami has always been a challenge for the Patriots; witness the 11-33 all-time mark for the Patriots playing in Miami. The heat and humidity, not to mention the Dolphins perennially tough defense, have had a vise-like grip on the Patriots.
