It was the television event we knew we needed, but weren’t sure we were ever going to get. To his his credit, Brady sat there and took barb after barb. From jokes about his marriage to his playing career, Brady got hit from all sides. It was great to…
By Mason Souza Bill Belichick hated Tom Brady so much and wanted him out. Maybe hate the man himself is too strong, but Belichick hated the praise Brady was getting rather than it coming his way. How does this topic relate to today? Let me explain. Mr. Patriot himself Julian Edelman spoke on the “I Am Athlete” podcast earlier this week essentially agreeing with what former Patriots tight end Martellus…

For many New England Patriot fans, Monday was a sad day.

(Photo by Will Lester, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin/SCNG) Raise your hand if you thought the Patriots would beat the Chargers by 45 points on Sunday. Put your hand down. You’re lying. New England’s special teams unit had two touchdowns, the defense gave up just 258 total yards while forcing two turnovers and Cam Newton only threw for 69 yards in the 45-0 shellacking. Hell, even Jarret Stidham and N’Keal Harry…
