Well, this was awkward. After a Pro Bowl rookie season (albeit as an alternate) that included a playoff appearance, Mac Jones was never the same quarterback in New England due to various circumstances and his relationships with coaches on staff and teammates ended up fractured. Now, he’s no longer a Patriot. The former first round pick is being traded to his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 6th round…

Thoughts on episodes 7 & 8 of ‘The Dynasty’

We’re down to the final four episodes of this somewhat controversial ‘The Dynasty’ documentary on Apple TV. Personally, I haven’t found this to be as bad as a lot of other people. I think some of the B-roll and behind the scenes stuff has been well worth the watch. Have stories been embellished to make Bill Belichick look slightly worse? Sure. Are there some glaring omissions in some of the…

Image courtesy of Pittsburgh Steelers The first offensive line domino has fallen for Eliot Wolf and Jerod Mayo. Despite free agency not officially starting until next week, the Pats signed former Steelers tackle Chukwuma Okorafor on Thursday after he had been waived by Pittsburgh, which is why he could sign early.

0 comment

The (second) JC Jackson era in New England has ended. The team officially announced that they cut the troubled cornerback on Friday, saving $14 million in salary cap space. The move isn’t a surprising one given the fact that the team is in rebuild mode and New England now has just about $100 million to “burn” in free agency, along with the No. 3 pick. Perhaps, this rebuild won’t take…

We continue our look at the Apple TV+ ‘The Dynasty’ documentary after eposes five and six dropped on Thursday. This will be much shorter than the outrageous 5,000 word breakdown I had for episodes three and four, but in fairness, that Spygate episode was pretty damn entertaining with some good stuff that we’d never seen or heard before. Anyways, here’s some thoughts while watching the most recent episodes… Episode 5…
