Matt Cassel: "I taught Tom Brady everything". Ok, calm down he was joking.
Tom Brady lives in a Castle, Matt Cassel's name sounds like Castle
Back in 2009, Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel were sent to Kansas City for what turned out to be Patrick Chung.
Well, that deal really worked out for everyone didn't it?
Now Cassel is resuming his role as a backup quarterback, this time behind Christian Ponder. That sure is quite a fall for the one time starting...
NFL Draft Picks to Make You Cringe and Smile – Ying and Yang
2013 NFL Draft
Ying and Yang… Some of these picks should make you smile, some should make you cringe. Based on comments by someone with 40+ years of scouting experience, here are some guys that should make you jump for joy if your team drafts them and others that might cause you to lock yourself in your room for a few months. Again, the comments are not mine… Here goes:

Spring Brings Confidence To Defensive Line
One of the biggest questions facing the Ohio State football team surrounded its defensive line. Actually, make that several questions as the line entered the spring needing to replace four starters. But after a solid spring, position coach Mike Vrabel felt his group was deserving of a passing grade.
"The Patriots haven’t had a consistently dominant pass-rusher since Mike Vrabel. Jones has a good..."

Mike Vrabel: Buckeye For Life
Following a stellar 14-year NFL career, Mike Vrabel has returned to Ohio State as the defensive line coach, and in two years he's proven to be a very valuable assistant to the Buckeye program. Vrabel took the time recently to talk about his coaching career at Ohio State, and his philosophy on leading young men.
Vrabel Confident He Can Replace Linemen
One of the key themes for the Ohio State football team as it tries to compete for the 2013 national championship will how it replaces the four departed starters on the defensive line. There's a long way to go but DL coach Mike Vrabel thinks at least four guys will step up among his talented group.
Matt Cassel released in Kansas City, everyone officially received nothing for that trade
Chiefs released QB Matt Cassel.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 14, 2013
Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel were traded by the Patriots to the Chiefs in exchange for a second round pick. Mike Vrabel is currently a coach at Ohio State. The Patriots picked Patrick Chung with that draft pick and he is now with the Eagles. Now, Sand Castle is out in Kansas City.
Goodbye Patrick Chung, signs with Eagles
Eagles also announced they signed former Patriots S Patrick Chung.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 13, 2013
Maybe Chung will forever be known as the guy that the Patriots - kind of - passed up Clay Matthews for, as they traded back to the second round in the 2009 draft. They received the pick from Kansas City in exchange for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel. What a great trade...
The Top Three Best Free Agent Signings by Bill Belichick
Since the Free Agency is upon us, I decided it would only be appropriate to rank the three best New England Patriots signings in the history of the Bill Belichick era. Before I jump into it, I would like to point out that there is a comment section and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts. Let's get to it:
Honorable Mentions: Danny Woodhead, Ben-Jarvus Green-Ellis, Joe...
New England Patriots: 5 Biggest Needs of 2013 Offseason
February 6th, 2005... 2013 will be the eighth season that the Patriots will suit up since last bringing the Lombardi trophy to Foxboro Massachusetts. Even after stocking up for the 2007 season, the team could not get it done, losing a dumbfounding contest to the Giants in the waning moments of a disappointing Super Bowl.Matching the talent of that 2007 season seems almost impossible...
tBBN LiveBlog: Indiana at Ohio State
This is a Hoosier
Fresh off a heartbreaking loss to The Fighting Illini, Cody Zeller and company come into Columbus a little downtrodden. It’s really too bad they can’t have any of the sweets that Ohio State football coach Mike Vrabel is bringing in tomorrow morning to MattaritaVille.
If this gets 500 retweets, @mattaritaville will get Krispy Kreme donuts. #specialdelivery...
Michigan signee Reon Dawson: I’ll be an Ohio State fan until I die
Reon Dawson is a three-star cornerback from Trotwood, Ohio who is headed to Michigan to play for Brady Hoke next season. However, the Wolverines were hardly his first choice.
Growing up in Ohio, Dawson never envisioned himself in maize and blue. Most Ohio State fans don’t.
“Until I die, I’m gonna be a Buckeye fan even though I’m going (to Michigan),” Dawson told the Dayton...
New England Patriots Mount Rushmore: Four Franchise Icons
I'll just come out and say it: there is no way I can stop at four. Patriot greats go all the way back to the days of the Boston Patriots and guys like Ron Hall, Bob Dee, and Jim Hunt. So I have broken this task into two parts: Early Rushmore and Modern Rushmore. The latter period starts with the purchase of the team by Robert Kraft.Even broadening this project to eight Patriot...
Urban Meyer snags lightning-quick linebacker
Former NFL linebacker Ken Mitchell has no problem now being known as the father of Mike Mitchell, the five-star linebacker from Plano, Texas who's set to sign with Ohio State today, officially becoming one of many gems in the kind of recruiting class Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer always seems to put together.
Ken Mitchell also has no problem sharing his thoughts on why his son chose...
Ninkovich finds niche with Patriots
Rob Ninkovich invokes memories of storied New England Patriots linebackers Mike Vrabel and Tedy Bruschi with his penchant for game-changing plays.
The New Orleans Saints didn't think he was good enough to play defense for their team.
How could two franchises -- successful ones at that -- look at the same player and have completely opposite talent assessments?
It's another...

Ohio State assistant coach Mike Vrabel teaches us that headbutting a helmeted player is a bad idea
Especially when you do so with your bare forehead, as Mike Vrabel supposedly did before the Buckeyes game against Michigan last month.
Former Patriots linebacker Vrabel, now an assistant with his alma mater Ohio State, was so pumped before the Big 10 rivalry match against the Wolverines on November 24 that he headbutted one of his players during pregame warmups. Only problem was...
Mike Vrabel Shows Off Stitches, Bruise From Headbutting Ohio State Player’s Helmet (Photo)
When he was in the NFL, Mike Vrabel was considered one of the smarter players on the field.
The keyword in that statement is “when” he was in the NFL, because now that’s he’s out, he’s doing some pretty dumb things.
Vrabel’s wife recently tweeted out a picture of her husband’s bruised and stitched forehead. According to the tweet, the former Patriot headbutted a player...
Mike Vrabel Headbutts Ohio State Player, Splits Head Open
You see it a lot…football players get in each other’s faces to get pumped up, and often engage in some friendly headbutts to get the blood flowing. This custom is generally harmless because both parties are usually wearing a helmet. Usually.
Well, former Patriots linebacker and current Ohio State assistant coach Mike Vrabel must have forgot his playing days are over while getting...
Why You Shouldn’t Headbutt A Football Player If You’re Not Wearing A Helmet

Mike Vrabel headbutted Ohio State player without a helmet, cut his head (Picture)
New England Patriots fans who watched Mike Vrabel play during the prime years of his career know that his intensity is what made him such an effective defender. Vrabel was one of the leaders of some Super Bowl-caliber defenses under Bill Belichick. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet in those days.
Now, Vrabel is an assistant coach at Ohio State — his alma mater. On Wednesday...

Mike Vrabel bloodied by headbutting OSU helmet
You know why Mike Vrabel won’t be headbutting Ohio State players before games from now on? This is what happened to his forehead before the Michigan game, according to his wife, Jen, who wants everyone to see the damage. Jen tweets (@JenVrabel1): Here’s the pic to prove it! Best not to headbutt a guy w/a helmet on when you aren’t wearing one!! Of course the inquisitive reporters...
Ohio State Report: Assistant Coach Mike Vrabel headbutted player wearing helmet before Michigan game
Mike Vrabel is an intense man. He loves football and Ohio State. He hates Michigan.
Jen Vrabel tweeted a picture this morning of the aftermath of Mike’s pre-game decision to headbutt an Ohio State player- who happened to be wearing a helmet-
We consider this a small price to pay for a Buckeye victory in The Game. (Better him than us though.)

Vote: Which Player Would Look the Strangest in His Rival’s Uniform?
It’s always strange to see veteran players change teams late in their careers. It’s especially strange when those players have to change into their chief rival’s colors.
After seeing Mike Vrabel‘s tweet this week that showed Tom Brady wearing the crimson and grey of Ohio State, it got us thinking how bizarre it would be to see Brady in a Jets uniform. The Jets have been one...
Tom Brady Makes Good on Bet With Mike Vrabel, Wears Ohio State Jersey After Michigan Loss (Photo)
An old rivalry has Tom Brady — or at least those playing around him — seeing red.
The quarterback was again on the short end of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry this week after the Buckeyes polished off their undefeated season with a win over the Wolverines. That meant Brady, a proud Michigan alum, was once more stuck wearing an Ohio State jersey for a day thanks to a running...
