From Kyodo News
Right-handerJunichiTazawa, who helped Nippon Oil to its first title in 13 years at the national corporate baseball tournament that ended Tuesday, will try to sign with a major league club without playing in Japan, baseball sources said Wednesday.
The highly unusual news came as a shock as the 22-year-old Tazawa was expected to draw […]

The Patriots decided to stay in house as they re-signed QB Matt Gutierrez to the practice squad.  If something happened to Matt Cassel the Patriots would probably start Gutierrez over rookie Kevin O’Connell who’s still a little raw.  Gutierrez played in 3 games (0 starts) in the preseason for the Patriots this year and he […]

The Patriots have lost possibly the best QB in NFL history for the rest of the season due to a torn left ACL.  He completed 7 of 11 passes (63.6%) for 76 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 interceptions (83.9 QB Rating) last Sunday and that’s what his season numbers will look like at […]

The Patriots won the football game on Sunday against the Chiefs but they have likely lost the war as Tom Brady tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the 2008 season.  Brady completed 7 of 11 passes for 76 yards before being injured.  Matt Cassel came off of the bench and to the […]

I’m sure by now most of Red Sox nation has gotten a whiff of the article Tony Massarotti wrote today writing off any importance of winning the American League East and suggesting the Red Sox would be better off resting players and taking the Wild Card then going full force at Tampa Bay for the […]

If reports are accurate, the Patriots quest for redemption just got a lot more difficult. Multiple sources are reporting that Tom Brady suffered serious damage to his left knee when hit in the first quarter on a dirty hit by Kansas City Chief Bernard Pollard.
Matt Cassel played well in relief of Brady but the Patriots […]

The Chiefs couldn’t have picked a worse team to play in the season opener.  The Patriots have a run stuffing defense and that is what you know Herman Edwards will want his team to do.  Larry Johnson will need the offensive line to control the line of scrimmage against the Patriots and I don’t see […]

The Patriots have signed 31-year old CB Deltha O’Neal.  O’Neal is a talented player who should help the Patriots out this season.  He played in all 16 games (8 starts) for the Bengals last season and he made 52 tackles, defensed 9 passes and he had 1 interception.  O’Neal will likely fit in on the […]

The Patriots have waived WR Chad Jackson.  Jackson played in all 4 preseason games for the Patriots this season and he caught 7 passes for 66 yards (9.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  But, Jackson was a huge bust when the games counted for the Patriots and that’s the reason they got rid of him.  […]
