FOXBOROUGH – Didn’t see that one coming. Bill Belichick met with the media via Zoom early on Saturday morning prior to the last practice of the week and dropped a mini bombshell, saying Cam Newton is the starting quarterback. Now, he’s said that for a while now, but we’ve also heard that everyone needs to earn their spot as well, so when it came out of his mouth before some…
Once it was clear the Patriots weren’t going to trade him at least until camp started, we all knew the awkward day would come where N’Keal Harry had to face questions about his trade request. That day was Friday. Harry, who has had some nice catches over the first few days of training camp, spoke after practice. The first question he received was why he asked for the trade and…
Friday morning provided us with the best competition between Mac Jones and Cam Newton that we’ve seen thus far. The two went toe-to-toe in various passing situations after the first two days were mostly red zone work. Following practice, Newton and Jones both met with the media in person for the very first time as well. Here’s everything (literally just about everything) that stood out from the two guys everyone…
Hanover soon-to-be junior quarterback Mike Gandolfi didn’t play an actual snap for his high school squad in a regular season game last year, but he did earn the program a championship on Thursday night. Gandolfi and his teammates won Hanover’s first ever 7v7 Northeast New England Championship with a thrilling 21-20 win over Marblehead in the finals. Last year, Gandolfi went down to Florida to try and play high school…

In case you’re still not over Tom Brady, don’t trust Cam Newton (why would you) and still need a new veteran quarterback with all sorts of accolades to root for, you may want to start paying attention to Allison Cahill. On Wednesday it was announced that Cahill was named the Women’s Football Alliance National Football Conference Most Valuable Player. The MVP is the fourth of Cahill’s career. Since beginning to…
We’re down to single digits in our 25 day celebration after today, so before we finish up with a few more key pieces to the puzzle and a look back at the postseason wins, there’s one major aspect of the season we haven’t really talked much about yet. Good ole Foxboro Stadium. Most people my age don’t remember the old place with the metal benches, gross bathrooms, mud pits in…
We’ve had mostly positive things to reminisce about during our 25 day project, but today we take a look at a 12-6 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys on December 15, 1996. The score wasn’t pretty, but it was a very important day confidence wise for the young defense and coordinator Al Groh. At the time, the Patriots’ offense was humming while Dallas entered as the NFL’s…
Two weeks to go in our look back at the 1996 AFC championship season for the Patriots. Before we take a look at a dominant win over the Jets late in the season, a quick reminder that if you missed our live show on Monday night with Drew Bledsoe and Todd Rucci, do yourself a favor and find an hour to listen to it. Both of them were incredibly generous…
