Alder Winning or losing was the last thing on New England’s mind for the last preseason game of the year against Tennessee in scorching Nashville Saturday night.

Now, in fairness, the last few years without Brady have made the preseasons far more interesting than when he was here – those Brady preseasons were absolutely useless – but I think the players, coaches, fans and media are all ready for real football. Once tonight’s game against the Titans (8:15 start) concludes, we’ll be on the road to…
FOXBOROUGH – We’ve made it. Almost.

Following the scary scene involving Isaiah Bolden on Saturday night, the Patriots chose to cancel joint practices in Tennessee this week.

Bill Belichick has long had the reputation of being all business. when it comes to running the New England Patriots. He has always done what is best for the team, even if it means alienating the locker room at times. Belichick has never had a problem cutting or trading a player, including a veteran player. In many ways, he has earned his callous reputation however on Saturday night we saw…
