(Gregory Payan/AP) When news broke on Friday that Patriots owner Robert Kraft was being charged with soliciting prostitution at a spa in Jupiter, Florida, I was stunned. Like most people, several thoughts crossed my mind. Why would Robert Kraft visit an establishment like this? Why would a 77 year old billionaire want to ruin his reputation by getting caught up in something like this? None of it added up to…

Patriots: OBJ to the Patriots? I have a hard time believing they will pay the price to acquire him

The Patriots reportedly made an offer to the New York Giants last summer for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. I have a hard time believing that the Patriots would make the kind of offer it would take to land Beckham.

The Patriots cemented themselves as one of the greatest franchises in sports history after beating the Rams to earn their 6th Super Bowl title in 17 years. The Patriots dynasty is pushing 20 years, which is unbelievable in this era of free agency and player movement. The Patriots have surpassed the Packers of the 1960’s, the Steelers of the 1970’s and the 49ers of the 1980’s as the greatest dynasty…

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) The Patriots defense delivered a performance for the ages last night thanks to a game plan for the ages. Bill Belichick and de facto defensive coordinator Brian Flores orchestrated one of the greatest defensive performances in Super Bowl history. Belichick and Flores shut down an offense that averaged 32.9 points per game and over 400 yards of offense per game. In many ways, it shouldn’t be…
