Image courtesy of The New England Patriots Mike Vrabel said this would be the case. After all, he lived it. New England – and the rest of the NFL – is always looking to get younger and faster at every position, even after a Super Bowl run. On Monday just about an hour ahead of the ‘legal tampering period’ ahead of NFL free agency, Albert Breer reported the Pats are…

Candle spoke and showed clips for over an hour during a presentation titled ‘How The Huskies Create Explosive Passing Plays.’ Once he wrapped up and chatted with a few local coaches, around 5:15, I spoke with……
Image courtesy of New England Patriots NEWPORT, RI – Four weeks ago this Sunday, Jeremy Springer was on the sideline in San Francisco for Super Bowl LX. You would think that after a soul-crushing loss like the one the Pats had, he’d want to get away from football as much as possible before having to ramp back up again. Nope. Instead, Springer was up bright and early on Friday morning,…
Despite losing the Ivy League title in ‘The Game’ for the second straight year, Harvard still made history in 2025, making the FCS playoffs for the first time ever. Both the Crimson and Yale represented the Ivy League in the 24-team postseason, cementing what we’ve known around here for years now: it’s the most competitive league in all of FCS. Harvard should be right back in the hunt for another…
The Stefon Diggs Era in New England is officially one-and-done. According to multiple reports on Wednesday afternoon, the Patriots have informed Diggs they will be releasing him next Wednesday when the new league year officially begins. The move allows the Pats to free up $16.8 million in cap space. Diggs was due to have $6 million guaranteed on his base salary for the upcoming season as of March 13. Diggs…
New Haven shocked a lot of people last season. Making the jump from D2 to D1 isn’t easy and usually includes quite a few growing pains and a whole bunch of losses. But, in 2025, that wasn’t the case for the Chargers. Mark Powell’s squad went 5-5 in a shortened inaugural season. Powell earned a permanent role as head coach due to the initial success, particularly the buy-in his players…
It’s hard to believe, but Stonehill is already entering its fourth full year as a Division 1 program. The Skyhawks have struggled to find consistency since their first surprising year in 2023 where they went 5-5 (4-3 in the conference) after joining the NEC. But, this season, there’s reason to believe some momentum is being built. The program is now fully formed in Eli Gardner’s image when it comes to…
It’s still stunning that Lewis Bond didn’t get an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, but Logan Taylor and Jude Bowry repped the Eagles and ‘O-Line U’ well in Indianapolis. The offensive linemen closed out the event with testing and on-field drills on Sunday. Bond should have been there with his teammates – Q Hutchins also had a very good week – but he’ll be able to show out at…

But, after a bunch of change both on the staff and with the roster for Boston College, there’s a quiet excitement brewing inside the offices of Alumni Stadium. Spring ball starts in nine days (depending on when you’re reading this, the day is March 10) and…
FOXBOROUGH – During Saturday’s second day of the annual MHSFCA Coaches Clinic at Gillette Stadium, new Yale head coach Kevin Cahill was the keynote speaker during lunch. Cahill had a whirlwind week, going from being the head coach of nationally-ranked Lehigh to returning to Yale and replacing Tony Reno at a school he coached at for a decade. No one is Tony Reno and he’s irreplaceable. But, Cahill was able…
