Note: We wanted to create a new feature that honored the history of the high school game a little. This is a snapshot of MIAA play in 2000, and while a lot of that info is hard to access, we still remember a good amount of it. So here’s an attempt to capture those old glories. If you have any additional information from other years, it is welcome. Here is…
It’s finally here. The NFL Draft is upon us, and the Patriots are facing their most consequential draft in the past 30-years. Bill Belichick is gone, there is a hole at quarterback and the future of the entire offense is uncertain. With those things in mind, I took a quarterback of the future, several offensive pieces and injected additional youth into an already good defense. Round 1, Pick 3: Drake…
The 2024 quarterback is one of the most highly scrutinized classes in years. After a recent string of classes that have either underachieved or flopped, hopes are high for this group. Now I’m not one for comps but I do think this class reminds me a lot of the 2004 class which featured Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and J.P Losman. Three of the four quarterbacks in that draft…
As we are deep in the spring, we never stop looking forward to the fall. We wanted to peek ahead to the MIAA season, but with a bit of a different twist. These are teams that we feel are a little bit under the radar at this point. Maybe we did not go for them this past season, but we feel can make an impact this year. If you were…
Image courtesy of Sports Business Journal The draft week rumor mill is pumping out some good stuff already. On Monday afternoon just before 2:00, Dianna Russini reported that the Patriots were taking calls on the No. 3 pick and while Eliot Wolf was ‘running point,’ Jonathan Kraft is ‘heavily involved’ in deciding the future of New England’s highest draft choice since 1993. Should he be? Of course, to a certain…

So, it’s only fitting that the guy who was instrumental in maintaining culture in Foxborough for years is going to have the chance to help implement a fresher one in the Jerod Mayo era. ESPN’s Mike Weiss reported over the weekend that Slater…
Take a shot on the potential QB of the future or immediately fix multiple roster holes with a trade down? It’s the biggest question the Patriots have faced in 30 years and it’s a week away. Eliot Wolf met with a the media in a packed room at Gillette Stadium on Thursday morning, exactly one week from ultimately having to make a future-altering choice at about 8:30 or so next…

Belichick joined McAfee on the show and talked about the opportunity to still be front and center talking ball in front of the world next Thursday night. “Well, I’m looking forward to it…draft day, draft weekend is always an exciting time for…
FOXBOROUGH – Patriots fans have a few new names to start learning this season and two of them met the media for the first time on Thursday. Defensive tackle Armon Watts and linebacker Sione Takitaki both spoke for about 10 minutes each following Day 4 of voluntary offseason training. Watts is entering his sixth season in the league, but this will already be his fourth team. Watts played his first…
Well, this is an easy one. Usually when there’s smoke around trade talks around draft time, there’s a few different fires. Now, with various national reports (more so speculation) that the Patriots are still looking at making a trade for a No. 1 receiver, Tee Higgins is the obvious big target. Higgins is now one of just two players that were franchise tagged that have not signed. Higgins requested a…
