John Lynch visiting Patriots

John Lynch, Herm Edwards' pal and ex-Broncos safety, signed with the Patriots today. Past his prime, it looks like he'll be content pulling a Jiminy Cricket and riding coattails in this last-ditch attempt to get another ring. Since I hate Lynch about as much as any player this side of ...

Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Patriots have agreed to terms with safety John Lynch. Lynch, a nine-time Pro Bowler, could assume the role that the team was exploring for Tank Williams, who recently landed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Williams had been practicing at linebacker. At this stage of his career, Lynch probably is a better fit playing closer to the...

It would be naive to think that the New England Patriots won't contend for another AFC East crown, the postseason or a Super Bowl appearance. They're still the franchise all other teams gun for and certainly should be the favorites to win Super Bowl XLII. But has anyone taken a look at the Pats' secondary this year? When cornerback Asante Samuel signed a multi...

You may already have your fantasy football?roster set, or you may still be in the planning stages. If you take a look at the Broncos roster, there are definitely some guys to consider putting on your team. There are also guys that you wouldn't touch with a?30 foot pole. Top fantasy picks: 1. Selvin Young - his first preseason game does not give any indication of how he will perform...

The John Lynch post made me think of this one, and it's a major toughie. Back in the day, guys like Bill Romanowski, John Elway and Shannon Sharpe would have topped this list. Now that they have all since retired, however, it's a different story. The new story: Rodney Harrison ...

The?competition for the?job at?middle linebacker will come down to the wire. Nate Webster and Niko Koutouvides are battling it out here in the Mile High city. While they are competing for the same starting job,?the two players couldn't be more different off the field. Koutouvides is?much more reserved than the flashy and?vocal Webster. Webster?has?settled down a little bit since...

Training camp comes to an end today for the?Buccaneers over at Disney.? Head coach Jon Gruden has canceled the last practice this morning as the team will break camp and head back to Tampa.? Gruden has pretty much ruled out Jeff Garcia and Joey Galloway from Sunday night's preseason game against the Patriots at Raymond James Stadium.? Garcia is still bothered by a strained calf and...

Bill Belichick is many things. He's smart, successful, and a little bit creepy too. In fact, it's hard to imagine there's anything about him that we don't already know. Think again, though. We must add "all-knowing" to the list. Or so it seems.Take Tuesday's practice, where the Patriots were conducting a full-squad no-huddle drill. Nothing would...

It appears that John Lynch's playing career is going to continue, and it will be with a powerhouse.  John Clayton of ESPN is reporting that Lynch, who basically asked for and got his release from the Broncos recently, has signed a one-year, $1.5 million dollar deal with the AFC Champion New England Patriots. The Pats are a great fit for Lynch, who have been looking for help in the...

Denver's magazine, 5280, did a photo feature of Mile High maniacs. The spread includes Tim McKernan, aka the Barrel Man, guys dressed in head to toe orange pom-poms, and the Mile High Jester. 5280 posted a short video on their site showing just how orange and blue this city can get on a Sunday. It gets me excited for the season to start.

With the regular season opener at New Orleans just around the corner, the Buccaneers are taking a cautious approach with quarterback Jefff Garcia. Yesterday, Garcia threw on the side to receiver Joey Galloway during the morning practice at training camp. Garcia is nursing a strained calf while Galloway is trying to get over a groin strain. Head coach Jon Gruden all but ruled out...

The New England Patriots may be considering keeping five running backs. "If we would keep four quarterbacks, I would think we could keep five running backs," coach Bill Belichick said yesterday, when asked if it was out of the realm to see all five make the team. In Tom Brady's rookie season of 2000, the Pats kept four quarterbacks (Drew Bledsoe, John Friesz, Michael Bishop and Brady...

Momma always said sometimes it was just best to not say anything.? You know, keep your mouth shut and move on.? Adam Seward didn't listen.? He was too busy talking Monday. Back in April, New England, those stinkin' cheaters, brought Seward in for a look.? He sat down with them, probably received a complimentary beverage, talked [...]

We're just about two weeks into Patriots training camp and we've had one ugly preseason game, a plethora of physical full-pad practices and a legion of fans ready to call Chad "The Chad" Jackson a bust. Yes, football is back and things are starting to take shape for the 2008 Pats. The biggest issue at this time is injuries. Yesterday the team was missing 17 players from...

It didn't take long for the practices between the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos to get ugly. Cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones drew first blood, when asked to compare Broncos WR Brandon Marshall with oft-compared Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens: "He's nowhere near T.O. He's a good athlete, but he ain't on T.O.'s level. T.O. is 10 times faster and 10 times bigger. I...
