By Kevin Stone/@kstone06 Ho, Hum, the Pats got punished again. On Sunday night just minutes after the stunning news that they had signed Cam Newton, the punishment from “SpyGate Two” came down (that’s not by coincidence either) and it was fairly heavy. New England was fined a million dollars, lost a third round draft pick in 2021?and are banned from having any team production crews from being at games for…

Patriots: Patriots shock the NFL by signing Cam Newton

June 28, 2020

Just when you thought the Patriots were going into 2020 with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer as their starting quarterbacks, Bill Belichick reminded us that he is one of the shrewdest executives in the NFL by signing free agent quarterback Cam Newton to an incentive laden one year deal. Speculation had been rampant all off season that the Patriots quietly had an interest in Newton and that they were monitoring…

All photos courtesy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj  Is everyone ok? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady unveiled “official” photos of him in the uniform for the first time on Tuesday, and social media quickly buzzed. I am in the minority here and think he actually looks kind of normal – in a time where there is none – or at least it doesn’t seem as…

Patriots: The Patriots are not going to sign Colin Kaepernick. Here is why

I want to start off by saying that the purpose of this piece is not to get political. I am not trying to make a political statement here. I am simply looking at this from a football perspective. The Patriots should not sign Colin Kaepernick. The idea has been floated around these parts in recent days by both politicians and the media alike but it is a foolish idea. Why…

Opinion: Enough with the fake crowd noise talk

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj Alright, enough with the idea of piping in crowd noise using actual stadium speakers. For some mind boggling reason, adults can’t seem to be able to live with the fact that there is a real possibility that every NFL game this season will look, sound and feel different. In a time where nothing is normal, dealing with empty football stadiums on Thursday, Sunday and the occasional Saturday…

Patriots: Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham work together as they prepare to compete for the starting quarterback job

June 8, 2020

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj It was reported last week that Jarrett Stidham had been organizing throwing workouts with some of his teammates. Then, we began hearing that Brian Hoyer was there too, just incase anyone was worried. Discussion on local sports radio on Friday and over the weekend soon turned to whether or not Hoyer was really the one organizing the workouts and just being a good “quarterback caddie” (credit Chris…

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj For the first time since what feels like March, we’ve had a bit of a dead period this past week in terms of football news. As both college football and the NFL continue to try and navigate the pandemic and get athletes back into buildings to safely begin working out with teammates, here’s a few random thoughts on the world of football as we head into June:…

Patriots: Patriots get creative in extending Chung and signing their rookie class

May 25, 2020
0 comment

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj While we all wait for some actual football practices to break down and analyze in (hopefully) a couple months, the Patriots continued to tie up loose ends on the offseason. Not only did Bill Belichick finish signing his entire draft class with the final piece of the puzzle coming in the form of Kyle Dugger, but apparently BB talked safety Patrick Chung out of retirement to extend…

Patriots: Comparing the Last Dance to last season for the Patriots

May 18, 2020
0 comment

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj The Patriot dynasty deserved a better ending. Unless you’re not a sports fan or have been living under a rock, “The Last Dance” documentary on ESPN about the Chicago Bulls of the 90’s has been the most popular thing on television (aside from Tiger King maybe, which I can proudly say Iv’e never seen) during this pandemic. Of course, this is a football site and not a…

Patriots: Brady, McDaniels rift isn’t that big of a deal. It happens more than you think

May 16, 2020

If the Last Dance has taught anything, coaches and players disagreeing with each other is a way of life in sports. That is why Gary Myers report on Monday that one of the reasons Tom Brady left the Patriots was his deteriorating relationship with Josh McDaniels is a non-story to me. Hard to present an order of why Tom Brady didn't want to return to Patriots. But one thing has…
