You see the press conferences when Bill Belichick plays a combination of town librarian and poker player — Monotone and emotionless.
He can really be an unlikeable guy from afar.
But then you watch this video, from last week’s game against Miami, and you understand why he is one of the best, maybe ever.
He is also very [...]

I will break slightly from the trend to pick the teams with the best records, wait for them to lose, and then drop them down.
Here are the best six teams, I believe, with their win-loss record being a key factor, but not the only factor:
1. New Orleans Saints (8-0): I believe that they have been [...]
It has been reported by the Red Sox that Jason Varitek is officially going to be back with the team in 2010, picking up the $3 million player option.
I’ve been told Varitek was informed his role will greatly diminish. It appears Victor Martinez will be slated to catch about 125 games, with Varitek getting the [...]
Pats-Colts stat of the day: Rodney Harrison 5-0 vs. Peyton Manning

We will throw out a few stats the rest of the week on this matchup on Sunday night.
While most people like to compare Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and Brady’s slight statistical lead (7-3 record, 2-1 in playoffs and three Super Bowl rings) here’s a head-shaker.
When Rodney Harrison was in the starting lineup and finished [...]
The Pats have 2 hard weeks coming up- playing (yet) unbeaten teams. Any predictions?
NFL GUY ANSWERS:
I predict the Pats win against Indy. If they meet in the second season, I am not so sure. Bellichick often confuses Manning with bizzare defensive looks to affect his presnap reads. You are going to see a lot of [...]
ATLANTA 31 – WASHINGTON 17
Nothing better to stop a losing skid than to play a real bottom feeder. After being knocked around some by Dallas and New Orleans, the Falcons got it back together by pummeling the crumbling Redskins. This game had some of the scariest and craziest moments in recent memory. Scary: Clinton Portis [...]
Today was cleanup day on Yawkey Way in Boston.
Victor Martinez’s option for $7 million was picked up.
Jason Varitek’s option for $5 million and Alex Gonzalez’s for $6 million were not.
And Tim Wakefield’s perpetual $4 million option was destroyed and switched with the a two-year $5 million deal.
What does that mean? Let’s try and explain.
I spoke [...]
Gostkowski drills a chip shot from 40 yards and the Pats assume the insurmountable 27-17 lead.
5:38 and the Pats are hanging on for their lives …

Can the offense grind up the necessary three more first downs after a nice Brady-to-Moss hookup?
A tattered Dolphins defense simply can’t stop this team when it matters, even with the lack of a Patriots running attack.
Halftime, far from a championship performance…

When the Patriots sleepwalk their way to victory here over an undermanned and banged-up Dolphins team, you’ll hear all the cliches about division games being so tough and the challenge presented by Miami.
Don’t believe it.
Miami is not good and the Patriots, TODAY, are just a little better.
Halftime Grades
Offense
Line (C-) … The Miami line has taken [...]
