1. It’s looking more and more like J.J Watt could miss the start of the regular season. It wouldn’t surprise me if he started the season on the PUP list.  2.  I don’t understand how Giants coach Ben McAdoo can vouch for kicker Josh Brown and call him a good man? HE PHYSICALLY ATTEMPTED TO HARM HIS WIFE! He’s not a good man! PERIOD!  3. Steelers back up quarterback Landry…

Game Rewind: After getting off to a slow start on both sides of the ball, the Patriots turned things around in the second quarter and beat the Bears in a tight pre-season game.  1. No Brady: Tom Brady was supposed to play tonight but oddly enough, he cut his hand using a pair of scissors and was ruled out prior to kick off. I don’t know if I buy it….

Storyline: It’s pre-season game number two for the Patriots as they host the Chicago Bears at Gillette Stadium. After a spirited two days of joint practices, the two teams appear ready to play.  Tom Brady will make his 2016 debut tonight but the focus will once again be on Jimmy Garoppolo who played the first half last week and finished 11-18 for 168 yards.

Storyline: The Patriots kickoff the 2016 season at home as they host the New Orleans Saints in the pre-season opener. All eyes will be on quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett tonight. Garoppolo will get the start but don’t be surprised if Brissett plays the majority of the game. The competition at wide receiver, the offensive line and who starts at running back will also be focal points tonight.  Three…

The Patriots got some tough news yesterday after Rob Ninkovich tore his triceps in joint practices against the Saints. Ninkovich will not require surgery but he will be out until October. Make no mistake about it, the Patriots will miss Ninkovich. He plays all three downs and he can play out of a two and three point stance. His versatility is a big plus for the Patriots defense. Chris Long,…
