By Michael Vallee Two and a half quarters into Super bowl LI and the nightmare scenario was unfolding. For Patriots loyalists scattered across New England it was the nuclear option.

By John Sarianides Patriots owner Robert Kraft indicated last week that Bill Belichick has told him how much longer he plans on coaching. Kraft would not divulge how much longer Belichick wants to coach but the fact that they have discussed it is very telling.

By John Sarianides 1.Super Bowl 51 will have plenty of story lines but I think we all agree that the number one story line involves Roger Goodell and Tom Brady. Brady would love nothing more than to win his fifth Super Bowl title and shove it up Goodell’s you know what. 2. Will the Patriots give the Falcons offense the Rams treatment? I think they will. Look for New England…
