#FridayFive: Favorite NFL Teams July 12th, 2013 @ 5:31 am PDT
Read the Friday Five …Tom Brady and the NFL September 9th, 2008 @ 9:15 am PDT
Yesterday morning on ESPNRadio’s Tirico & Van Pelt Show, Mike Tirico asked if the NFL was in jeopardy because of the season-ending knee injury suffered by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Scott Van Pelt — rightfully, in my opinion — argued that the NFL is going to be fine. Tirico countered by asking if Tiger Woods’ […]
Bill Belichick: Alien January 29th, 2008 @ 12:21 pm PST
Last season, the Colts won the Lombardi in part by establishing a pass-wacky attack that defensive coordinators were obsessed with stopping, then gradually shifting toward the run in the postseason, then rolling out a rushing-based game plan in the Super Bowl that took everyone by surprise. … Belichick is among the best-ever students of the […]
Sunday Afternoon Football September 24th, 2006 @ 1:52 pm PDT
Los Angeles’ TimeWarner cable — previously known as Adelphia — is rotten. It is quite possibly the worst cable company in America. Two years ago they dropped the ESPN Gameplan, so there was no way for me to watch the Gators unless I hauled my butt over to Westwood to catch them at the UGA […]
New Stadium for Patriots May 28th, 2002 @ 11:53 am PDT

Although it first went on sale this week, the video has already set a […]

Less than a week after winning the Super Bowl, New England running back Kevin Faulk was jailed after police said he became verbally abusive when told not to move a traffic barricade. Faulk disputes the charges, according to attorney Jason Robideaux. He said Faulk’s passenger moved a barricade and Faulk’s wife became belligerent while Faulk […]

The party for team families and invited fans and supporters was loud and semi-drunken by the time I left at 1:50 a.m. As I walked out, a red-faced lout said to me: “Pee-DUH! You know why weah so happy? Othah than the Celtics, we ain’t won nothin’ since the Revolutionary Wah!”
