A huge fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, UConn BB, Bruins. First person to create a webpage focused on a NFL team’s salary cap. Consider it a coincidence and not a correlation the Pats’ success since my coverage of their salary cap started in 2001.

From the man who brought you the 2025 French Open final, Carlos Alcaraz produces another one of tennis' greatest ever escapes.

Carlos Alcaraz reaches first Australian Open final after escaping Alexander Zverev in seesaw match
Alcaraz led 2-0, 4-4 when he appeared to hurt his upper-right leg stretching for a volley. He still came back to win an epic.

Patriots–Broncos in the AFC Championship averaged 48.6 MILLION viewers and peaked at nearly 58 million, making it the most-watched game of this NFL postseason on any network.

America still stops for the Patriots.

No Patriot fan would have expected this in Mike Vrabel's first season as Patriots HC. No matter what the result at the Superbowl this has been one hell of a season

Expected 8 to 10 wins going into the season.

After the Steelers loss, thought playoffs were a long shot.

More than anything, just wanted to see what we had on offense since it’s been bleak post Brady.

My pick was 8-9, including an 0-3 start. Thought they would be a tough out towards the end of the year and would spring an upset down the line.

I stopped betting for a reason.

Absolutely, making the playoffs was the goal at the start of the season. Everything else has just been icing on the cake.

My preseason prediction was 10-11 wins and maybe a single playoff win while Maye establishes himself as a top 10 QB.

Needless to say they have wildly exceeded my expectations.

After the first three weeks, I was thinking they would be lucky to win 6 games.

My wife asked did I ever think the Patriots would be going to the Super Bowl. Answered only after learning of Bo Nix’s injury.

Thought Patriots would win 10 to 11 games and if that was good enough to get them into the playoffs they would lose in the wild-card round.

Mike Vrabel arrives, and fields an opening question from @kguregian.bsky.social on QB Drake Maye, and then a follow up on his level of concern on Maye’s health-related status.

“Not much,” he says.
