El Mustachio Picks the 2010 NFL Draft

El Mustachio Picks the 2010 NFL Draft
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 ...

Filling Patriots Gaps Through the 2010 Draft

Filling Patriots Gaps Through the 2010 Draft
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. ...

Oh Dear… Oh Dear… Where do the Patriots Go From Here?

Oh Dear… Oh Dear… Where do the Patriots Go From Here?
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...

Patriots Franchise Tag the New Scarlet Letter to Wilfork

Patriots Franchise Tag the New Scarlet Letter to Wilfork
“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...

Is Sean Payton the Next Bill Belichick?

Is Sean Payton the Next Bill Belichick?
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...

Mustachio's Super Bowl Extra Large 4 Pick

Mustachio's Super Bowl Extra Large 4 Pick
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,...

AFC's Big, Bad O-Line an Early Advantage
Well, it’s about time… Tomorrow’s NFL Pro Bowl will mark the first time the league’s “All-Star” game will be played in the bye week leading to the Super Bowl.  I, for one, have been pushing for this since I started watching football.  The two full weeks before the...

El Mustachio's Championship Pick'em

El Mustachio's Championship Pick'em
Broadway Joe Welcome back to my second to last pick’em article of the year.  I went against my gut in all four games in the divisional round, and how did it turn out?  Two right, two wrong.  What’s that mean?  I’m not sure.  What I am sure about is that the match-up in the NFC that I was hoping...

Don't Call It A Comeback! Or Anything Else, For That Matter…

Don't Call It A Comeback! Or Anything Else, For That Matter…
The Patriots’ season has been over for just under two weeks now, and there has been a storm of hypotheses and theorems as to the how and the wherefore it ended so (un)expectedly soon. Depending on where one is sitting, the Patriots of 2009 overachieved, underachieved, got booted from the playoffs...
