Does anyone recall the logo which fans booed out in favor of the then-current Pat Patriot logo circa 1979? What did it look like? Does anyone have any images? I recall it was a stylized, squarish waving American flag with the chisled profile of a Patriot's face on the (left?) edge, evoking the...

Birthplace of the pink flamingo.

Anybody looking for something worthy to do with their preseason tickets? My wife and I are friends with a couple who live in Gloucester. We share in common the adoption of boys from the same Russian orphanage. They also have a natural born daughter who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. She's...

Presuming Josh is scooped up as a head coach elsewhere, and seeing how, per the NFL Today, Mike Martz is not likely to be retained as SF OC if Mike Singletary is retained as head coach there... I know the Pats typically go internal to promote coaching but there are exceptions. On the other...

Hope I didn't miss this in another thread, but the Pats have risen to third in team scoring in the NFL (397 points), only behind the Saints (432) and the Giants (408). When you consider the Pats have no defensive TDs and only one ST TD all season, the offense may actually rank above the Giants...

On the game tying TD at the end of regulation: Randy Moss left foot AND HIS LEFT KNEE touched in bounds, so if I understand the rules, this in itself would have constituted a completed pass, regardless of whether he had gotten his right foot down. Can anyone clarify this for me? I tried a little...

As many of you know, a lot of pundits out there had predicted a Super Bowl let down for the Patriots, or at the very least, they would in no way be even remotely close to repeating their undefeated regular season last year. Now that Tom Brad is out for the season, everyone is revising their...

I suppose we will be getting a better idea of which of these two HOF2B's have been more responsible for the Patriot's success. Through the championship seasons 2001-2004, I had always presumed that Belichick was the man, but that, as behind every great man is a great woman, in the NFL, behind...

You left one out... * Most overall wins in a single season (18) They blew that one. They're only tied. :(

* Well, perhaps now we know how Rams fans felt after Super Bowl XXXVI. Perhaps, our situation is a little different: on the one hand, we did get to experience the dynasty that they thought they were on the brink of, but on the other hand, they never had so much at stake (positive NFL...

Not only is this week's column laughable, it is also poorly researched... It gets better... When will he understand that this occurred in the first game of the season, and could have had nothing to do with the Patriots performance this season? And by asking if they are cheating now, he...

I was hoping to upgrade my copy of Super Bowl XXXVIII vs Carolina with a widescreen version off NFL Network, and to my disappointment, their showing it in SD. I can't believe CBS didn't have HD by early 2004 and use it to show possibly their biggest program in 3 years. What's up with that? Is...

Does Volek rhyme with Zolak? Just kidding, just trying to show some disprespect. :D But I do have a more ominous observation to offer... In 2004 the Pittsburgh Steelers were poised to finally win a Super Bowl in the Cowher era (at least, in the eyes of their fans) with a breakthrough season...

Making Passes: Completion & Follow-up - Tom Brady

... for beating San Diego last season. :D

Couple of notes about the Pats current winning streaks... * Unlike the 2003-04 streak, the current streak is untainted by any overtime wins. I've always had trouble rationalizing OT wins when comparing the 03-04 win streak to the Dolphins early 70s streak when there was no regular season OT...

OK, apologies if someone mentioned this and I missed it, but at some point during the game, we heard the same exact sound affect that we heard during the Indy games that raised a lot of hackles, and which many viewed as proof that the Colts are piping crowd noise through their PA. I still...

I'm wondering if the game today marks the biggest difference in games (13) in league history. Does anybody know? To get a bigger lead, it would have to be 14-0 vs 0-14 (there was no 0-14 in '72 so far as I know), or else you would need either 15-0 vs 1-14 or 14-1 vs 0-15; we know the former...

Let me count the moments when I thought the quest for an undefeated season had ended: (1) after the Ravens opening drive of the 2nd half, which began to give me visions of the 2005 encounter with San Diego; then still down by 7 we punted the ball and they ran the ball back to our 26; it looked...

So does anyone still wonder how a juggernaut like this year's Patriots can be stopped and why it is so hard to go undefeated? When all those little things go wrong, dropped passes, questionable calls, etc, in combination with a brave oppoent who refuses to kneel down and plays a magnificent...
