-The Quarterback Shuffle continues at Foxboro:  Sunday’s Patriots/Dolphins game was a beat writer’s nightmare.  It was one of those games where the entire focus and narrative changed on dime.  What started as a lopsided contest and coronation of sorts for New England’s one-time backup quarterback, quickly morphed into a game of survival with the Patriots fate resting on the broad shoulders of the first third-string quarterback ever to see meaningful…

Game Rewind: The Patriots hung on to beat the Miami Dolphins 31-24 in the home opener. Unfortunately, the win was overshadowed by Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury. Garoppolo has been diagnosed with a sprained AC Joint and has been listed day to day. Here are my five thoughts on the game. 1. The Jimmy G Injury: Garoppolo was shredding the Dolphins defense up until Kiko Alonso knocked him out of the…

Storyline: The Patriots welcome Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins to Gillette Stadium this afternoon for the 2016 home opener. The Patriots pulled off a minor upset last Sunday night by beating the Cardinals in Arizona.  The Dolphins almost pulled off an even bigger upset in Seattle but lost when Doug Baldwin scored the game winning touchdown for the Seahawks with under a minute left.  Here are my five keys…

Its Week 3 of the college football season and after a lackluster week of games, there are several key games on the docket for this weekend. Here are the top five games for this weekend. #6 Houston Cougars at Cincinnati Bearcats: This is a trap game for the Cougs but with Greg Ward Jr. back at quarterback, they should be fine. Cincy will come out flying but if Tom Herman’s troops…

1. The Saints cutting C.J Spiller is a bit of a surprise. They gave him a four year, $16 million dollar deal last off-season so they obviously thought he could play. 2. Speaking of the Saints. Sean Payton is no longer calling. Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. is now calling the plays. Can Payton call the defense? The Saints are awful. 3. The NFL announced that they are launching another…

Here's the best of Mike Leach today. MUST WATCH for #Cougars, #Huskies, and all fans everywhere. Hilarious. pic.twitter.com/IAyWV9OemA — Aaron Levine (@AaronQ13Fox) September 13, 2016 I hope Mike Leach never changes. Sure he might get fired if things don’t improve this season in the Palouse but he is comedy gold. I love how unfiltered the man is. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He’ll always tell it like it.

Garoppolo Shines in Debut   -Jimmy’s got the Moves:  As a perennial contender and the most dominant franchise in the NFL for 15 years running there are always a myriad of stories revolving around the New England Patriots as we enter each NFL season.  This year there was pretty much just one: Jimmy Garoppolo.   It was the one thing talk show hosts, columnists and Pats fans were talking about.  It…

Game Rewind: After months of hearing that they could not beat the Arizona Cardinals to start the season, the depleted Patriots beat the Cardinals 23-21 thanks to a strong performance from Jimmy Garoppolo and the Patriots offensive line. Here are five thoughts from the game. 1. Jimmy G Played Like a Certified G: Jimmy Garoppolo played well last night completing 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown pass. Garoppolo…

Storyline: The Patriots roll into tonight’s season opener against the Cardinals severely short handed. Obviously they were already going to be  without Tom Brady but they are  also going to be without Rob Gronkowski and Nate Solder as well. This was already a tough game for the Patriots but it just got tougher. New England can win this game but they will need to play flawless football. Here are my five…
