NFL At Large: Dime Package for Week 8

October 31, 2016

Here are ten thoughts on the week that was in the NFL. 1.I can’t believe Bill Belichick traded his best defensive player at the midway point of the season? I know Collins would have priced himself out of New England but giving him away in the middle of a playoff run for a third round pick is senseless to me. 2. Speaking of the Patriots, they are the best team…

Here are my thoughts on some of this weekend’s action.  1.Everett and Haverhill has the potential to be the best game of the weekend.

NCAA Football: Top Five Match-Ups for Week 9

October 28, 2016

College football is better when Miami and Notre Dame play.  Week 9 has some intriguing match-ups including Clemson at Floirda State, Northwestern at Ohio State Miami Hurricanes at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Its Catholics vs. Convicts 2016. The only difference is, neither program is that good right now so this game won’t be as good as some clashes between these two teams were in the 80’s. I like Miami in this…

October 26, 2016

Many people around the NFL were surprised on Monday night when Dolphins running back Arian Foster announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 30. It shouldn’t be a surprise.  Foster was nowhere near the player he was in 2010 and 2011. Foster just didn’t have it physically and you can see it from the first moment he stepped on the field with the Dolphins. He just wasn’t…

October 25, 2016

October 25, 2016

Photo courtesy of SUN/Julia Malakie The playoffs are here but before we start dissecting match-ups, lets look back at the weekend that was.  1. I can’t say I’m surprised that Tewksbury beat Billerica. The Redmen are well coached and they are physical enough to match up with a team like Billerica. 2. St. John’s Prep might be the most dangerous entering the playoffs. The Eagles were impressive in their 17-7…
