***PHOTO1***Can you believe we're only a day away from the opening kickoff of Super Bowl 46 (Roman numerals are so very boring and cliche).

***PHOTO1***We've heard all the hype. It will be the best offense against the best defense for a trip to the Super Bowl. You know as well as anyone, these super matchups never materialize. It wouldn't be a shock if the game ended up being as sleep-inducing as a LSU - Alabama...

***PHOTO1***While assessing the chances of the New England Patriots getting of the schneid in the playoffs, the hope was for bad weather.

December 7th, 2011 at 4:39 PM
 ***PHOTO1***  The flex giveth and the flex taketh away. And in Week 15, it taketh away.  The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) made the decision to flex last week's New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts game. And right fully so. Up until the fourth quarter, the usually close contest was a blow out. Instead, fans watched the...

November 5th, 2011 at 7:02 PM
***PHOTO1***There really is something amiss with the New England Patriots. To date, they haven't had a game when the team has fired on all cylinders since...well, not this season.

Game Preview: Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots
October 15th, 2011 at 4:27 PM
Coaches in the National Football League devise complex and intricate game plans to shut down their opponents, but when the Dallas Cowboys invade Gillette Stadium on Sunday in an inter-conference match-up, their strategy should be rudimentary.
