Only in New England would fans give up on the defending champion's season less than 24 hours into free agency.

Count Bill Belichick as one of those people who knows nothing about football apparently: "There has been a lot of criticism that I don't think is anywhere close to being deserved or founded," Belichick said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on sports radio WEEI in Boston. "That foo...

You can certainly debate whether passing was the right call (it would appear to not have been) but anyone calling it the dumbest play call in history or calling Pete Carroll a moron is using a bit of hindsight-20/20 hyperbole. If Butler doesn't make an amazing play that's a touchdown. An interceptio...

I may be missing some theories but it sounds to me like we're down to the following: The Patriots supplied footballs that were under the minimum PSI and the officials didn't notice. The Patriots supplied footballs that were at the exact minimum PSI which passed inspection and then deflated due to we...

Clearly cheating on the coin toss.</scine20>

TruePoint is doing the lord's work on this thread.

Also, who knew the crazy guy with the self-published Spygate book was a URI alum?

Say what you want about Bud Selig and MLB but could you imagine him allowing the World Series storylines to be dominated by a story about a team using too much pine-tar on their bats in the ALCS (which is pretty much what we're talking about here)?

We really are true New England fans, huh? The team kills 3 straight division leaders and not one post until they finally lose.

I would guess that like every year they should be one of the last 4 teams and then it's a coin flip from there.

1) I agree that Mankins was overpaid. That much for a guard in the first place was crazy, that much for an aging guard even crazier. But I think that falls on when the contract was given, rather than the present. They haven't wiped his money off their books, they are still accounting for $4 million...

and he's only going to be getting worse. In a league that's moving more toward passing, a great run blocking/mediocre at best pass blocking guard is not a good piece to have. I agree, but a) What's wrong with having a little depth? b) Was Mankins getting worse still better than what they had? I'd r...

Long time lurker. I love Rhody hoops (and continue to attend the football beatings) but usually don't have a lot to add beyond what you guys have already said. Making an exception here because this take contains several Felgerish talking points that drive me nuts. Nothing personal, ramfan85. I'm wit...
