Yesterday morning, we visited with former Patriots K Adam Vinatieri and checked in on his thoughts regarding his old team. He’s a member of the Colts, but he still has some feelings on the Pats. In addition, I spoke with him about the starter now, Stephen Gostkowski. He’s just kicked one game-winner, but Gostkowski says he’s ready. Is he? We’ll see. But Vinatieri, who has won a few Super Bowls with his leg, explained how it’s done kicking the biggest kick of your life. “Well, you try not to think the way you just phrased that,” Vinatieri said with a smile. “I honestly don’t think of it being a game-winner, or this is the Super Bowl.

Not so this week, not for Wes Welker, whose key fourth-quarter drop changed the complexion of the game and opened...

Patriots backup QB Brian Hoyer: “I don’t know if I’ll ever meet someone as tough as (Brady) is”

There was a scary moment in last night’s Super Bowl XLVI, when QB Tom Brady was crushed by Giants DL Justin Tuck. He got up shaky, and doctors surrounded him. Quickly, backup Brian Hoyer began to throw. Brady ended up going back in, but he finished 7 for his last 17, and he wasn’t the same. After the game, I asked Hoyer what those moments were like. “I just gotta...

Aaron Hernandez Will Be Patriots' X Factor, Despite Super Bowl Buildup Centering Around Rob Gronkowski
