After a day off on Saturday, the Patriots officially wrapped up their first week of training camp with a Sunday afternoon practice. Thousands of fans packed the stands and the ramps high above the practice fields at Gillette Stadium on what was truly a stunning, September-ish day. Saw people tailgating in the parking lot before which was awesome. -The offense got out of the red zone today and did a…

The Minutemen officially opened their 2023 training camp with a 10 A.M. practice. A few weeks ago when Coach Brown joined us on the New England Football Show, his excitement for what’s being built radiated through his computer screen. Now, the guys finally get to take another…
The Pats went two hours in the scorching heat on Friday afternoon during Day 3 of training camp.

Every time there was a roar during the early portion of the Patriots’ first training camp practice on Wednesday morning, all you had to do was look at the wide receiver group. Whether it was a great catch by URI’s Ed Lee, Kendrick Bourne, Tyquan Thornton and DeVante Parker dancing or newcomer JuJu Smith-Schuster jumping up and down, interacting with fans, JuJu’s energy was infectious for everyone around him. From…
It looks like we’re going to have a real, competitive training camp here folks. Seemingly every day last summer, it was the offense looking inept and the defense owning them regularly. Through just one practice on Wednesday in front of a surprisingly huge crowd, the offense looked competent and the defense was strong. For about an hour and a half, it was mostly red zone work, which makes sense given…

This season, the Rams are ranked 18th in the Athlon Sports preseason poll, so national pundits believe a playoff berth for the first time in 38 years is a real possibility. Check out what…
