Draft Weekend was one wild time. And confusing. The Patriots didn't make anything easy for any of us, with their picks and their dealings and trades. New England went into the Draft with 13 picks and came out with 10 new players...

The Draft is on its way, and we're ready to be drafted. But first, some unfinished business....

Several reports broke over the weekend that indicate the Patriots will finalize a trade for free safety Tebucky Jones to New Orleans...

The league has announced the schedule for the 2003 season...

Or maybe I should say specifically the Patriots and the Bills have improved significantly...

Sometimes the off season movement is far more intriguing - and bizarre than what happens during the regular season. And look what happened this week...

I took a couple of weeks off to decompress from the 2002 season...

Well, I don't think anyone expected this to happen...

Well, that time of year has come upon us once again. Yes, we're mere days from one of the greatest holidays in the free world, in all the universe, of all-time in the history of existence. Ladies and Gentleman, once again, Super Bowl Sunday...

Home field advantage means something, because all the home teams won this weekend. Any surprises? Not really, unless you're from New Jersey...

Wild Card weekend for playoffs. What a great way to bury those post-holiday season blues with some great post season games. But before the action on the field, there has been action behind the scenes...

Well, that's it folks The regular season is gone, and now it's the Playoffs! But unfortunately, the Super Bowl teams of last year will not have a chance to repeat...

Week 15 just didn't fill in enough blank answers. The AFC is still up in the air and undecided, but the NFC has three division leaders and four teams with playoff berths. And while the Pats don't play until tonight, the Monday Analysis is still here to cover the action...

Cold weather brings Hot games in December. And none hotter than those played at the Razor...

Ah. Fall. Changing leaves, burning fires, football. Football. FOOTBALL!!!! And what better can you ask for other than a happening rivalry with some old teammates...

Here we are, at Week 8. Can you hear that hissing noise? Someone is letting the air out of the Patriots' tires right now as we speak....

Another overtime weekend. Even the MLS Cup championship went into overtime, with Los Angeles beating the New England Revolution 1-0 at the Razor on Sunday. Congrats to the Revs for a great season, but I'll be glad to get the Razor's field back to an NFL style look. Speaking of the NFL, what a weekend we had for Week 7...

Sorry this is later in the day, and short. I fell off a ladder today, so my mind isn't really in the game. Speaking of not being in the game...

Dear God, kill me now! This is getting ridiculous. Three weeks in a row these guys should have had one man's number in their sights and for the third straight week, they've had other things in their sights...

Well, Week 4 has turned out to be just as much of a head turner as the previous three. But while it is too soon to rule anyone in or out, life signs are fading in and out with each team, especially the home team. Just what goes through a defender's mind when he misses all those tackles...

After starting the first two games as 2 and 1 point underdogs, then beating the favorites by over 30 points, you'd think that being 9 point favorites against Kansas City that the final score should be something like 85 - 3....

A Full Training Camp Location and Schedule

A calm and peaceful Fourth, some heavy sports news, but a moment for the most important prelude to Training Camp...

The Saints organization has made a deal with the city of New Orleans (Hm, sounds like a song) to remain in the Superdome through the 2010 season....

Ah, one month until training camp. No quarterback controversy to report. No players not showing up. Almost seems like no drama. But we will have some friendly and welcomed faces back in camp this year....

Can you believe it? Training Camp is just about a month away! I'll have to dig out all those old episodes of First and Ten with OJ Simpson in the "Nicole was doing what she was told" years. But first, here's something that's not such a surprise...

The Monday Analysis - 10 June 2002

Two weeks ago Spider-Man finished its opening weekend with a $114 million gross at the box office. This week, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones finished its opening weekend with a $86 million...

Running backs. There's a ton of them running up and down the field, and a running game, as we know in New England, is a tough thing to hold on to in this league....

Jesus, I guess it's good to be Spider-Man. You make $114 a weekend and you get to bang Kirstin Dunst. I didn't see it, but obviously a lot of people did...

A week after the Draft and football is in full swing with rookie mini camps and contract restructures and, oh yeah, the AFC Easy just got a lot tougher...

I went to a charity basketball game last Monday night at the Norwood High School where two dozen out of shape, middle aged Norwood Police department took on seven New England Patriots...
