New England quarterback Tom Brady was absent from a Wednesday practice session after meeting with the media beforehand. No reason was given for his absence, WEEI-FM reported, but it might have been a day of late-season rest. He hadn't previously missed a practice this season. On a more positive note for the Patriots, tight end Rob Gronkowski did participate in practice. Gronkowski suffered a broken left forearm in November and hasn't played since Nov. 18. He returned to practice in a limited basis last Friday but did not play in the Patriots' loss to San Francisco on Monday night. Defensive back Alfonzo Dennard (knee) also practiced after injuring a knee against the 49ers on Monday night. The Patriots (10-4) are preparing for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Well, 900 wins is pretty incredible. What would be more incredible is a clean program with a strong graduation rate. Look at Duke and Coach K; to me Boeheim and Coach K aren’t in the same class.

The 49ers hung tough late in the game to stun Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on the road and in the rain to clinch a playoff berth when few expected them to win at Foxborough.

Sunday’s loss is still lingering in the minds of the Patriots’ players, and that could be a good thing as they prepare for a playoff run.
Tom Brady says he feels like the Patriots haven’t won in three years, and I’d expect him to come out playing like he has three years worth of scoring to make up for.
He’s not the only Patriot with something to prove, though. Stevan Ridley...
