FOXBOROUGH - On a personally and professionally painful day, Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick took a few moments to reflect on a Patriots’ season that was at a crossroads at the midway point but ended with the team as AFC champions, and a crushing Super Bowl defeat.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft has had an extremely difficult year after losing his wife, Myra, to a battle with cancer. But the Patriots have dedicated their season to Myra Kraft, a tribute that New England fans have fully embraced. One fan sitting in the first row at Lucas Oil Stadium for Super Bowl XLVI even brought a sign to pay homage to Kraft's late wife. It caught the attention...

Bill Belichick better hope Brady’s wife can get more prayers for the Patriots. By now everyone has had to hear of Gisele Bündchen sending out an e-mail asking for her friends and family to pray for (Tommy) her husband Tom Brady. The way the game started on New England’s first possession it doesn’t look like Gisele’s friend’s and family did their job...

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick got a big dose of karma after cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on the eve of Super Bowl XLVI. It’s pretty funny how I just wrote about how wrong New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was for cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood just 24 hours before the biggest game of his life in order to add defensive...

The Giants decisively outplayed the Patriots in the first half. Bill Belichick displayed Andy Reid-ian clock management skills toward the end. His team doesn’t bother covering tight ends. The Pats defensive line was on rollerskates. Yet here we are with the Gritriots winning on the strength of a late gritdown from Danny Woodhead.
So now that the Patriots have survived that...

Patriots coach Bill Belichick confirmed Monday what had been reported for weeks in New England. Asked about the succession plan for departing offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, Belichick responded, “It’s Josh.” That would be Josh McDaniels, who will take over his old role running the Patriots offense. He’s the first coordinator under Belichick to return to…

When the Patriots got to Indianapolis last week, our own Gregg Rosenthal introduced us to the “new, relaxed Bill Belichick.” Belichick was cracking jokes during press conferences, keeping things light around his team and generally coming across nothing like he usually does when placed in front of cameras and microphones. Rosenthal wasn’t the only one…

There are two lessons to be learned from the Patriots-Giants Super Bowl yesterday. One is that receivers are as important to the passing game as quarterbacks (Patriots receivers let the team down yesterday). The second and more important lesson is the value of standing beside your man. This lesson applies to the Washington Redskins and Mike Shanahan.
Bill Belichick has been the...

The strangest coaching decision during Super Bowl week wasn't when Bill Belichick ordered his defense to act like matadors and wave Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw by for a touchdown from 6 yards out with less than a minute left in the game. That's just the one people will remember. The really odd one came four days earlier when the uber-prepared Patriots coach, anticipating...

Bill Belichick played rope a dope Sunday, nearly sending another gameplan to the Hall of Fame. But all it took was for Eli Manning and Mario Manningham to land one late punch, an example of that perseverance that carried the Giants to another Super Bowl championship.

If Bill Belichick is a genius, what does that make Tom Coughlin? Belichick had been 3-0 as Super Bowl coach until he ran into Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick says that tight end Rob Gronkowski will "definitely play" in tonight's Super Bowl XLVI, Alex Flanagan of NBC Sports reports. How much record-setting tight end plays tonight will depend on what he's able to do, Belichick added. In case you've been living under a rock that last weeks, Gronkowski has a high left ankle sprain that...

Post-Super Bowl Mock Draft: Here’s my latest mock draft for Bleacher Report.
With the 27th pick the New England Patriots take South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.
Alshon Jeffery is exactly what the New England Patriots need on offense, a tall, physical wide receiver that has a well-rounded skill set.
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would love to add Jeffery to...
