As someone who mails it in at work on a regular basis, the NFL offseason is tough for me. The amount of reading material available to me is slim, and to be honest there are only so many YouTube...

OTAs have started, Gronk looks like he's going to pull through, it's a beautiful morning, and summer is just around the corner - life is good. And so it's time to continue my countdown of the Top...

So it would appear that once again, the cold, heartless, unfeeling Patriots are doing what they do best. Defensive Tackle Kyle Love, a 2010 undrafted free agent who had managed to work his way into...

In a somewhat surprising move, the New England Patriots have just released defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick. Deaderick, 25, has been with the Patriots for the past three years. Taken in the 7th...

It's been a while since I posted a Top 20 Patriots Moment of 2012, as it has been a fairly active couple of weeks around Patriots Nation. Most of our attention as of late has been on the 2013 Draft...

We close out our series by looking at the second of the Patriots' two seventh round draft picks, and the last selection the team made. Steve Beauharnais, LB, Rutgers (235th overall pick) S...

That Bill Belichick traded out of the first round of the 2013 Draft is no surprise whatsoever. What is surprising, however, is that Belichick decided not to do any wheeling and dealing to get...

In a draft where the New England Patriots initially had no fourth round pick (courtesy of the Aqib Talib trade), it was a pleasant -although not entirely unexpected - surprise to see them end up...

When you're a Patriots fan, there are certain things you come to expect every Draft Day. One, you expect Bill Bellichick to trade back in the draft to acquire more picks. Two, you expect him to...

Today we continue our breakdown of the incoming 2013 Patriots Draft Class with the first of New England's two 3rd round picks. Bill Belichick spent the second round of the draft addressing two...

Today we continue our breakdown of the 2013 New England Patriots rookie class by taking a look at the latter of Bill Belichick's second round picks. By going pass rush with the 52nd selection, he...

Now that the draft is over and the media is back to talking about Tim Tebow at least once an hour, I thought it would be a good time to take a closer look at the Patriots 2013 Draft Class and try...

And so it begins. According to boston.com, the New England Patriots are currently fielding calls from several teams for backup quarterback Ryan Mallett. Who those teams are or what terms have been...

As we're all painfully aware by now, tonight is the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. And since, as usual, I have absolutely no idea what the New England Patriots will be doing, I'm not even going...

According to an article posted on ESPN Boston this afternoon, recent acquisition Leon Washington will be wearing the number 33 for the Patriots this year. Washington has been wearing 33 since 2010,...

To call last week rough is the understatement of the century. There's no reason to do any kind of recap here of the horrors, the heroes, and the healing that has transpired over the past few days,...

There will be plenty of time to break down and analyze the Patriots' 2013 schedule over the coming weeks and months, but I thought I would offer up some initial reactions now that the times and...

Today isn't a day to talk about football. But it is a day to talk about Patriots. Anyone who has been a Pats fan for longer than 10 years will remember tough, hard-nosed guard Joe Andruzzi....

It would seem that almost every time I sit down to post another Patriots Top 20 Moment of 2012, thinking that news has been slow around Patriots Nation, Bill Belichick goes and makes another big...

According to Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have agreed to terms with former Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly. While the exact details of the contracts have not been released, reports have the...

The NFL announced it's preseason schedule this afternoon, dates TBA, and along with it comes the teams the Patriots will be facing this August. The schedule: Week 1: At Philadelphia Eagles Week...

According to an article posted here on March 28 by the SB Nation Staff, South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore is scheduled to visit both the New England Patriots and the St. Louis Rams in...

It isn't time for an Amber Alert just yet - but it's getting close. Somehow, amidst all of this Free Agent Frenzy, I completely lost track of one of the more important offseason storylines of the...

There's a funny thing about the word "memorable:" it doesn't always connote something positive. Sometimes we remember a particular event for being exceptionally lousy, something we'd just as soon...

In honor of the NFL's decision to finally outlaw the ever so controversial and highly contested Tuck Rule this past week, The NFL Network decided to air the playoff game that launched it into the...

As of late last week, several initial reports stated that John Abraham was all but a lock to go to the Patriots, giving the team the situational pass rusher that they have been missing since Andre...

We seem to have reached something of a lull in regards to what was an amazingly busy first week of free agency. The Patriots lost some players, gained some players, resigned some players, and left...

The New England Patriots continue to be busy as Free Agency rolls along, closing out a very active Friday by signing long-time Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson. Wilson, 33, is exactly the kind of...
