New England pounds yet another NFL dreg. How did New York ever beat this team back in September?
21-0 early in the second, and it has the makings of ugliness.

Jets and Pats, just under way.
No Stephen Neal, or Matt Light, no Jarvis Green, Sammy Morris or Fred Taylor. Pats on the march in their second possession.

It’s probably time to put this Bill Belichick Moment to bed, so I’ll give it a try here.
After speaking to several local football coaches, I found that two of them made a similar call — leading a game, deep in their own territory, fourth and short. Both of them made it and won ...

Las Vegas oddsmakers opened the season with the Patriots as the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Well, the Patriots have something to prove this weekend if they want to get back in good stead with the gamblers of the free world.
The New Orleans Saints are listed as the favorites to win the Super ...

You see the press conferences when Bill Belichick plays a combination of town librarian and poker player — Monotone and emotionless.
He can really be an unlikeable guy from afar.
But then you watch this video, from last week’s game against Miami, and you understand why he is one of ...

I will break slightly from the trend to pick the teams with the best records, wait for them to lose, and then drop them down.
Here are the best six teams, I believe, with their win-loss record being a key factor, but not the only factor:
1. New Orleans Saints (8-0): I believe that they have been ...

It has been reported by the Red Sox that Jason Varitek is officially going to be back with the team in 2010, picking up the $3 million player option.
I’ve been told Varitek was informed his role will greatly diminish. It appears Victor Martinez will be slated to catch about 125 games, with ...

We will throw out a few stats the rest of the week on this matchup on Sunday night.
While most people like to compare Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and Brady’s slight statistical lead (7-3 record, 2-1 in playoffs and three Super Bowl rings) here’s a head-shaker.
When Rodney Harrison ...

Today was cleanup day on Yawkey Way in Boston.
Victor Martinez’s option for $7 million was picked up.
Jason Varitek’s option for $5 million and Alex Gonzalez’s for $6 million were not.
And Tim Wakefield’s perpetual $4 million option was destroyed and switched with the a ...

Gostkowski drills a chip shot from 40 yards and the Pats assume the insurmountable 27-17 lead.

Can the offense grind up the necessary three more first downs after a nice Brady-to-Moss hookup?
A tattered Dolphins defense simply can’t stop this team when it matters, even with the lack of a Patriots running attack.

When the Patriots sleepwalk their way to victory here over an undermanned and banged-up Dolphins team, you’ll hear all the cliches about division games being so tough and the challenge presented by Miami.
Don’t believe it.
Miami is not good and the Patriots, TODAY, are just a little ...

No answers by the Pats’ defense for the Wildcat of for Pat White and Miami’s option game.
if they didn’t feel like they were in for a fight, the Patriots do now.
Ricky Willliams scores too easily. 10-10.

The place is dead, Miami, which at one point lost a pair of defenders on one play, is wounded and the crowd is mute.
Brady and the offense seem to have ample opportunity to put points up, I just don’t know if Miami is going to be able to score.
MLB
Boston Red Sox
5:26 in, and it looks like Miami is intent on pounding at the Pats insides with the running game.
No sign of the Wildcat yet, but the dolphins really didn’t need it, moving off Vontae Davis’ interception down the field for a 52-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead.

Was it an incomplete pass or as Bill Burt just said to me, Adalius Thomas first play of the year.

Disclaimer: I believe the Phillies can beat the New York Yankees. They are that talented and, as Don Zimmer said in column I wrote today in The Eagle-Tribune, they are tough. Oh yeah, they’re defending champs, too.
But the New York Yankees will win the World Series. I believed this was a ...
