A few guys were willing to face a hoard of media cameras and reporters and answer questions. A few of them chatted with a reporter or two for a few minutes, but most sat quietly at their lockers – David Andrews in particular spent…

After a putrid performance in Dallas last weekend, the Patriots somehow one-upped themselves at home on Sunday, getting blown out by the Saints 34-0. New England had just 156 of offense while the Saints forced three turnovers – including another pick six for Mac Jones – and once again, Jones was pulled late in favor of Bailey…
Perennial Connecticut state championship contender Greenwich is 4-0 and looks like its usual dominant self. While the program regularly rolls out outstanding athletes and has throughout its history – its most notable alum is Steve Young – Peter and George Vomvolakis are creating their own brotherly legacy. Peter is the bigger but younger brother (a junior) playing on both sides of the line, while George – who’s also a team…
Around 9:40 on Wednesday morning, Bill Belichick was asked a question regarding trades. Specifically, if the injuries mounting may increase the chance that a trade would be made as we hit October with the trade deadline looming on the horizon. In typical Belichick fashion, a “well, to trade at this point, someone has to be available,” was the response. Apparently, someone was available. Someone the Patriots are very familiar with….
As expected, the Bailey Zappe potential starter questions came up during Bill Belichick’s usual Monday morning press conference after the embarrassing loss in Dallas. While it’s a fair question given how poorly Mac Jones played with three turnovers, Belichick quickly squashed the idea – for now. “I doubt anything would change significantly,” he said. “But, we’ll talk about that. I don’t know. We haven’t gotten to that point yet.” Belichick…
Image courtesy of Tim Heitman/USA TODAY Sports Disaster. Abysmal. Embarrassing. It’s the only way to describe the Patriots’ 38-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon in Dallas. The defense gave up just two touchdowns, but Mac Jones turned the ball over three times and was pulled for Bailey Zappe in the third quarter. New England is now 1-3 again and the questions will certainly start to swirl regarding both…

The former Oregon cornerback has already been a lock-down guy on the outside for the Patriots and on Thursday, he was recognized as the NFL…
Bill Belichick usually always starts his usual Wednesday press conference with an opening statement regarding the upcoming opponent on a given week. But, on Wednesday, Belichick didn’t just give an opening statement on the Cowboys, he gave a 5:03 break down of why Dallas presents so many problems. Perhaps Bill was just sort of talking the opponent up a bit, but it’s probably more of him knowing just how good…
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots picked up their first win of the season, beating the New York 15-10 in a defensive struggle. The offense had its moments, but they sputtered in the second half. Despite that, the defense did what they needed to do down the stretch to keep New York out of the end zone. Here are seven points on the Patriots win. 1. Defense thrives: The Patriots…
Image courtesy of New England Patriots The box score will show that Chad Ryland was 2/4 on field goals in a 15-10 win over the Jets Sunday, but his day was much better than that. Kicking in brutal elements with the season ultimately on the line three weeks in, Ryland made kicks from 48 and 51 yards, while missing a 57-yarder at the end of the first half and a…
