Patriots’ Pursuit of Perfection

Shouldn’t the Patriots chase for history be seen by all? I can understand if the Patriots were 14-1 or 13-2 this game would mean nothing but the Pats are chasing history. All football fans should be allowed to see it even if they do not have the NFL Network.
Pats fans who are not in the [...]

60-Minutes…..Tick…Tick…Tick…

With the Patriots, and Colts for that matter, playing meaningless games for the remainder of the season, it brings about the question of the two top teams in the AFC resting their starters.
The 2007 Pats and the 2007 Colts are two franchises looking in opposite directions. Indianapolis might be looking to rest guys, like Peyton [...]

Ugly Day = Ugly Win

When games are publicized so much throughout the week, the real thing never will live up to all the hype.
It is exactly what happened during Sunday’s 20-10 win against the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets. Fans and media expecting the Patriots to slaughter New York by at least 21 had to settle for a 10-point margin [...]

Athletes contemplate but choose wisely

This is an article that I wrote during my sophomore year at McDaniel College about collegiate athletes (mainly at McDaniel) and performance enhancement drugs. I talked to wrestlers, football, lacrosse and baseball players. This is what I found out from talking with these Division III student athletes.

At one point in time steroids came to the [...]

"The Mariano Rivera Welcome"

NOTE TO THE 60,000-PLUS OCCUPYING GILLETTE NEXT SUNDAY:
Give Eric Mangini “The Mariano Rivera Welcome!”
The talk this week on Sportscenter and sports talk shows will be about how many points the Pats will score on the New York Jets and how badly Mangini will be booed. I say do the opposite.
On Opening Day at Fenway [...]

The Sleeping Giant Has Awoke and It’s Not Happy

If the game this week was not hyped up enough for the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers’ DB Anthony Smith gave the Pats added motivation to beat the Steelers.
A second year free safety, Smith told reporters that “People keep asking me if we’re ready for the Patriots. They should be asking if they’re ready for [...]

The Toughest Game of the Year

If you thought last week against the Ravens was a tight ballgame you have not seen anything yet. If there is one team out there that can stop the New England Patriots it is the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday.
The Steelers have the necessary tools to stop the Patriots prolific offense, even though lately that offense [...]
