When Kevin Faulk gets to Lucas Oil Stadium today, the 35-year-old will be playing in the fifth Super Bowl of his career. And when it’s all said it done, it might be his last. Though the 13 year veteran might not have the type of impact he once did for the Patriots, there is something to be said for someone who has spent his entire career with one team. With the Patriots, Faulk has done it all – rushed the ball, caught passes, returned kickoffs, returned punts, made tackles and even completed two passes. It should come to no surprise that he’s more than appreciated by his teammates. “There are a few players that I think you can put into Kevin’s category in terms of his contributions, his unselfishness and being a great teammate,” said coach Bill Belichick. “Everybody loves Kevin, as they should. He contributes so much to our football team. He is so unselfish, and he always tries to help the younger players and help the team in any way he can. He sets a great example.” “I ...

Gisele consoles Tom Brady after his Super Bowl loss (Video)

After ending his season with a loss in the Super Bowl, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was there to be consoled by his Brazilian supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen. Last week a private e-mail by Gisele, asking friends and family in advance of the Super Bowl to pray for Brady, was leaked to the media.

Patriots WR Tiquan Underwood says of his release: “This Is Nothing But MOTIVATION….”

In cold-blooded fashion, the Patriots released WR Tiquan Underwood tonight. The move was designed to get more defensive linemen on the field, and they promoted DE Alex Silvestro. It’s not disciplinary, and the team does want him back next year. It’s just brutal for tonight. Awful for Underwood. He wouldn’t have played much, but it still sucks. Read this blog entry...

Five missed plays that changed Super Bowl

The New York Giants have won Super Bowl XLVI. Or, you might say, the New England Patriots lost it. While every losing team comes off a game thinking about missed plays that might have made a difference, the well-coached Patriots are usually a team without regrets. 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

The Patriots' loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII was due in large part to the Giants' ability to put pressure on Tom Brady. For that reason, much of the buildup this week has centered around the battle in the trenches. However, the real X factor could do most of his damage in the second level of the New York defense. Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been dynamic...

Rob Gronkowski Admits Super Bowl Loss 'Painful,' Says Patriots Need to 'Keep on Grinding' Next Season

Rob Gronkowski nearly hauled in Tom Brady's Hail Mary attempt as time expired in Super Bowl XLVI. But it doesn't matter to the Patriots tight end. Gronkowski said after the Patriots' 21-17 loss to the Giants that it doesn't matter how close he was to catching Brady's desperation heave because unless he actually caught it, the result of the game remains the same...

Brady unable to add to legacy

Tom Brady already has built an impressive Super Bowl legacy, but his bid to match the accomplishments of the game's all-time greats was snuffed out by the New York Giants - again.
