The Patriots were sleepwalking again until late in this football game when they actually made a game of it.  Matt Cassel had another so-so effort completing 4 of 6 passes for 37 yards.  Matt Gutierrez wasn’t much better completing 5 of 9 passes for 69 yards with 1 interception.  Rookie Kevin O’Connell brought life to […]

The New England Patriots had another dull effort last night against the Eagles.  Matt Cassel started again for the Patriots and he didn’t look that good completing 8 of 14 passes for 60 yards.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 22 yards last night.  Matt Gutierrez was great late in the game for […]

The Patriots have signed 34-year old center Mike Flynn to a 1-year contract.  Flynn replaces center Dan Connolly who was cut because of his poor play in the preseason.  Flynn started 15 games last season for the Ravens.  He has now played in 134 games (115 starts) in his NFL career all with the Ravens.  […]

The Patriots have released veteran tight end Marcus Pollard.  He caught 2 passes for 17 yards in the preseason but the Patriots wanted to go young at TE.  Ben Watson, David Thomas and Stephen Spach will likely all make the team and get a lot of playing time in a Patriots’ offense that likes to […]

The Patriots didn’t show much effort in this football game and they never seem to in the preseason so it’s nothing to be worried about.  Matt Cassel again didn’t show much as he completed 6 of 10 passes for 57 yards.  He also couldn’t handle a bad snap by center Dan Connolly which was recovered […]

There will be at least a few issues the Boston Red Sox need to address this off season and catching will be very close to the top.
Jason Varitek is having a very poor offensive season in 2008 which comes at a bad time for him, but a good time for Boston being that he’s a […]

The Patriots have lost offensive tackle Barry Stokes for the remainder of the season due to a back injury.  This won’t hurt the Patriots too much as they just signed Stokes for depth reasons.  Stokes will be essentially replaced on the active roster by John Lynch.

The Patriots have signed 36-year old safety John Lynch to a 1-year contract.  He will essentially replace Tank Williams who is out for the season as a enforcer on running downs as a box safety.  Lynch played in 13 games for the Broncos last season and he made 59 tackles, defensed 3 passes and he […]

Bill Belichick took all of his lumps with the Browns early in his career and he has learned well from his mistakes.  He really assembles great rosters and he is a master tactian in gameday battle.  He often sleeps in his office working 18 hour days so enough with the whole “cheating” argument.  Belichick has […]

Mike Lowell has been placed on the DL and the Sox recalled David Pauley to take his roster spot.
Pauley’s stay could be a short one as he likely only was called up because of the work put in last night by the bullpen.
If his stay is indeed short Boston would likely callup a corner infielder […]
