It’s been 243 days since the Patriots traded Richard Seymour to the Raiders, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been 3,303 days since the five-time All-Pro linebacker was a top choice out of Georgia, and the anchor to a preeminent New England defense. It’s been 8 months and 1 day since I’ve stopped...

Patriots first round draft pick Devin McCourty is fast. Faster than a speeding bullet? Not really. But if you saw McCourty on ESPN’s recent pre-draft web series Sport Science, you might reconsider the hackneyed phrase. In the three-minute segment, host John Brenkus and his team of physiologists and ESPN...

Don’t call it a comeback. University of Florida Tight End Aaron Hernandez was selected 114th overall by the New England Patriots in the 2010 Draft, bringing the Bristol, Connecticut kid back to his roots and into a jersey he’s long since admired. “It was a long draft,” said Hernandez during a team...

Welcome to Day One of the Draft!  Feel free to post your biggest busts and best deals in the comments of this column!

My NFL draft started months ago when I suggested on a 4SportPoston podcast that the Pats should take Jason Pierre-Paul, the DE out of South Florida.  Realistically, it’s not a good choice for Belichick.  Pierre-Paul is more of a 4-3 DE in the mold of Jevon Kearse.  In addition, the future freak ...

Teddy Bruschi isn’t walking through that door,  Richard Seymour isn’t walking through that door, Junior Seau isn’t……… ok, I’ll hold off on that last one. But my point remains the same, this isn’t the veteran defense we’ve grown accustomed to in Foxboro during the championship years. ...

Admit it. You are at least a little bit peeved with the New England Patriots. And you should be. Man, I am starting to write like a Boston Globe sports writer. But there will be no “I am cheering for the 2010 NY Jets and so should you” or “Welcome home Vincie”. This Patriots team has...

“It’s decent money for most people out there, what I do, it’s okay. But I don’t look at myself as an okay player…It’s just basically a slap in my face and an insult to me to basically tell me I’m an okay player.” ~ Vince Wilfork Welcome to the Wonderful World of whining all-stars and...

No, this is not a post about probable video recording by the now-current Super Bowl champion head coach. We may touch upon the 17-2-ness of the Colts as well, and maybe stop Bed Bath and Beyond, not sure if we’ll have time yet… In all reality, the thought came to me very early this season as I...

The final game of the 2009-2010 season is upon us and everyone from Indiana all the way to Louisiana, and a couple people outside of those states are excited about the match-up.  The similarities between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are abundant.  Both teams started the season 13-0,...
