Another No-Win Game on Tap For Patriots
No tomato cans this week. Or next. Make no mistake, tonight's game against the Houston Texans is a tough one, no matter how Dan Shaughnessy might try to reverse-jinx you into thinking it's going to be a Patriots cakewalk.

Sox Stockpiling….Character?
The Red Sox continued their offseason of handing out above-market contracts to players that don't blow you away with their stats, but who are all considered solid, productive players with flexibility and great clubhouse presence.

Thanks To Tomato Can Schedule, Amos Alonzo Kraft and Patriots Gifted Into 10th AFC East Title in 12 Years
The winning coach yesterday was dour. After beating a divisional opponent on the road in a key game for the playoff picture, he half-heartedly trotted out to greet the opposing coach.

Ron Borges Caught In Another Lie, Mazz Making Stuff Up, and Peter King’s Laughable Rationalization
Just another day in the world of the Boston sports media. In the morning, we had Pete Sheppard taking on Ron Borges on the Dennis and Callahan Morning Show.
