The Patriots lose another.
The Miami Dolphins defeated the Patriots 21-0 yesterday and could have won by an even more lop-sided score. The Dolphins showed a considerable amount of class by kneeling on the ball on the five yard line with two minutes left rather than trying to score yet another touchdown against the hapless...

The Pats manage another win against the Detroit Lions.
I have always liked the Detroit Lions, but they have hardly ever known how to win a football game. So it went again yesterday when they came quite close to pulling an upset but once again got bogged down in old ways. The Pats survived turnover after turnover and Corey Dillon scored three touchdowns...

The Patritots dodged another bullet yesterday. It helped that Bear qb
Rex Grossman had a dreadful day. The Pats could not hold onto the football, but neither could the Bears. Now the Pats are 8-3 and should coast into the playoffs but the qbs they face in the playoffs are apt to have better days than Bret Favre and Rex Grossman in the last two weeks. Go Pats.

The Patriots beat the Green Bay Packers who did not play that well in the
first half, at the end of which they trailed 21-0. Brett Favre, a gallant quarterback for the last fifteen years or so, looked a little long in the tooth and short in the boot as he had trouble hitting wide open receivers because of two sprained ankles and a groin pull. Brady and his bretheren...

The Patriots are not that good this year. The defections in the off season
must have hurt them. I don't blame Bill Bellecheck. Tom Brady was not nearly as good as Chad Pennington yesterday. If the Patriots cannot beat the New York Jets at home, how good can they be? Whatever. I hope I eat my words, but I doubt it.

The Pats lose to the Colts.
Payton Manning lived up to his billing Sunday night and led the Colts to a masterful defeat of the Patriots. I don't at all like Manning, but I guess he is the real thing even though he has not yet won a Super Bowl. I am not all that discouraged. The Pats are still having a good year and if they...

The Patriots played a workman like game against the Bills Sunday.
Tom Brady showed why he is the best qb in the game when he surrendered instead of getting hit but the undisciplined Bills linemen hit him anyway and thus he got a first down on the twelve and on the next play he threw a touchdown for a 14-3 lead. He has an incredible sense for the game. Laurence...

It looks like Adam Viniteri is about to abscound from
the Patriots and hook up with the Indianapolis Colts. This is dreadful. Not only was Viniteri a great placekicker for the Patriots, I have only just begun to spell his name correctly. These athletes are purely mercenary. Viniteri is probably the greatest placekicker of all time and his deletion from...

I watched a cross country race in the Turin
Winter Olympics the other afternoon and this was a pursuit race in which the other skiers chase the no. 1 seed and the other skiers are seeded according to their pre race rankings. There was a huge fiasco at the start of the race and the no. 4 seed, a Norweigian, was tackled by a number of rivals...

Super Bowl XL was a dreadfully refereed football game.
I was kind of rooting for the Steelers but I did not like the way the referees took the game away from the hands of the players. The refs took a touchdown away from the Seahawks at the beginning of the game on an incredibly marginal pushing off foul by the Seahawk receiver. Steeler QB Ben...
