Tears filled his eyes as Wes Welker of the New England Patriots explained to the media that he should have caught the pass from Tom Brady that would have moved them closer to winning Super Bowl XLVI. A day after the Super Bowl and the New England faithful are still bashing Welker including Tom Brady’s wife. They might want to hold off bashing a potential free agent that has averaged...

No one said you shouldn't have fun, but discretion is the better part of valor. Could Rob Gronkowski ultimately be his worst enemy? He’s the best tight end in football and it seems that once he gets off the field, he’s one of the dumbest. Taking photos with porn stars, he's a local celebrity known for his wild club antics, he’s right out of North Dallas Forty. However...

He said he didn’t want to coach forever, so he’ll never be Joe Paterno and go into his eighties. He’s no Bill Parcells, who looks to leave after shopping for the groceries and making sure the refrigerator is full. We figured that after his third Super Bowl win he would be gone. It’s safe to say he’ll never coach anywhere else. So how long does Bill stay on board?&...

It seems highly doubtful that he'll be here in New England next season, so where does Chad "Johnson" land with his name change? We now know that a complicated verbiage system isn’t going to work for him, so who has a system that will fit his skill set? First off, he’s used to running numbered routes instead of the word terminology the Patriots use. That...

Logan Mankins puts mustaches on his Flying Elvis helmet? Maybe he should’ve spent a little more time preparing for Justin Tuck than on the art project? Okay, I’m sorry, that was a low blow to my favorite mauler. I should probably apologize for the forthcoming fine as well that this blog post could possibly ensure.

According to Greg Bedard of the Boston Glode, the Patriots offensive system threw off wide receiver Chad Ochocinco this past season, which made it very difficult for him to make an impact on offense.  He was never able to get on the same page as quarterback Tom Brady. “They have a quarterback that has played within the same system for a number of years, so he’s so advanced...

Rob Gronkowski has made a name for himself on and off of the gridiron over the past five months. “Gronk” has done it all: scored multiple touchdowns for the Patriots at tight end, frolicked with adult entertainers, and amused and angered folks by celebrating after the Patriots Super Bowl loss at a local New Orleans establishment. Earlier this season, Gronkowski earned...

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said this week that being able to play in this weekend’s pro-am tournament at Pebble Beach was a good thing, since it helped him get his mind off of last Sunday’s Super Bowl loss to the Giants. “It’s been tough,” Belichick said. “It’s a tough couple days, but Pebble Beach is a great spot to take your mind off some...

Editor's note: Jeff Howe will review each position on the Patriots' roster every day through Feb. 13. This edition highlights the linebackers. It was an interesting year for the Patriots' linebackers as they took on different responsibilities with more 4-3 elements in their defense. Jerod Mayo and Brandon Spikes were very good when they were healthy, and Rob Ninkovich...

Forget Wes Welker’s infamous drop in Super Bowl XLVI that would have ultimately sealed the deal for the New England Patriots—he is Tom Brady’s go-to man and he needs to remain a Patriot.  Welker’s drop may go down as the biggest drop in the history of the New England Patriots but he will also be remembered as Brady’s greatest receiver—even greater than Randy Moss...

Every NFL dynasty must end. The cruelties of age, finances of free agency and emergence of other superpowers eventually finish them. This is the reality the New England Patriots. After the Patriots lost Super Bowl XLVI to the New York Giants, head coach Bill Belichick was not in the mood to discuss anything but the game itself, and even that was a brief affair. He stared straight...
