September 22, 2020

As always, it’s one of the more valuable pieces of radio in this area each week that sometimes doesn’t get the credit it deserves. This week was a tough one for the entire Patriots organization as Bill…

AP Photo/Elaine Thompson SEATTLE – Dating back to the infamous “you mad bro?” in 2012, the Patriots and Seahawks have played some all-time classics. The Malcolm Butler pick, the non-pass interference call at Gillette back in 2016, and now another game can be added to the list. Cam Newton (397 yards) and Russell Wilson (288 yards, 5 TD’s) had a duel for the ages that saw the Patriots fell 35-30…

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 Last week we decided that Bill Belichick’s weekly “Patriots Monday” interview with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria would be a topic of discussion for us all season long. Glenn Ordway has been perfecting the interview game for decades now. Meanwhile, as a former player, Christian Fauria sometimes has the ability to get some more thoughtfulness out of Bill compared to most media members. It’s clear that Bill…

The Cam Newton Era in New England opened with a 21-11 win at a silent Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It was certainly a changing of the times, as the running game was the story. Newton carried the ball 15 times himself for…

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 For years now, WEEI has always hosted a ‘Patriots Monday’, interviewing players and coaches throughout the day. The afternoon drive show OMF (Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria) is lucky enough to have Bill Belichick on during the season, and Monday evening provided another glimpse into the mind of BB as he gets set for Opening Day against Miami. While his tone will literally never…

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 Back to our regularly scheduled NFL programing. Last week was a wild one with so much uncertainty surrounding college football, which in turn made us put our Patriots’ position previews on hold. Never fear though, they’re back and today we take a quick look at the defensive line. While the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends are still the biggest questions on this team, this defensive…

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06 For the first time since signing Cam Newton and since six of his players opted out of this odd season on the horizon, Bill Belichick spoke to the media via Zoom on Friday. The 20-ish minute call also aired on NBC Sports Boston and Belichick had quite a few interesting things to say, something that I’m not sure many people saw coming. Bill openly supported the players…

Sports are the ultimate reality TV show and the 2020 NFL season could be wildest one yet

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 I am not a reality TV fan, never have been, never will be. Having said that, sports are the ultimate reality TV show, and this year’s NFL season may be the wildest version of reality television that we’ve ever seen. What’s most important to remember this season is why we watch as sports fans. We watch because usually (sketchy NBA referees aside) we don’t know what…

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 Well, here we are. After months of questioning whether or not the NFL would truly be able to plow ahead like they thought they could, training camps are set to pick up steam this week. There’s still quite a bit of uncertainty as to how the regular season may look, but at the very least we should have some actual football topics to discuss starting soon….

Chiefs sign Mahomes to 10-year extension, was it worth it?

July 6, 2020

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 On Monday afternoon Kansas City decided to make Pat Mahomes a Chief for life. Ironically enough giving the near baseball player a baseball-like contract. The Super Bowl-winning QB signed a 10-year, $450 million extension that could ultimately turn into $503 million. The most important part of the deal though, is the $141.48 million he will have in injury guarantees. My first reaction was to laugh. Not…
