Tom Brady Even Heals Better Than A Normal Person

Dissing Randy Moss, 68-Yard Field Goal Attempt, And NFL In 3D?

Just when you thought you could barely stand these teams in two dimensions, the NFL has announced that the Dec. 4 game between the Chargers and Raiders will be broadcast live in 3D to theaters in Los Angeles, New York and Boston. The three screenings — for NFL and consumer electronics executives only — are a "preliminary step" toward what could be regular 3-D broadcasts throughout the NFL schedule.

The Promising Backups That Paved the Way for Matt Cassel's Padded Bank Account
Continuing with our economic theme today, the market outlook seems awfully bullish for New England Patriots backup turned starter Matt Cassel. After his big time coming out party on Thursday night, in which Bill Simmons drunkenly compared him to John Elway, Cassel looks to have set himself up for quite a payday this off season. FanHouse's Tom Mantzouranis looks at some of the mediocre QBs who paved the way for Cassel to cash the big check. David Garrard makes how much!??! More » -

The Packers Are One Step Closer to that Second Round Draft Pick
Last night's ridiculous Jets-Patriots battle in Foxborough turned out to be everything a football fan could hope for , with the requisite Favreian/Spygate intrigue thrown in for good measure. But even though Favre ended up on the winning end of things and played a mistake-free, efficient game, it was the emergence of Matt Cassel, who pumped out 400 yards, three scores, and 62 yards rushing. To anyone who was not cock-blocked by their cable service who watched it, however, it's an incredibly deceptive stat line. Even though Cassel pushed the Pats down the field with a minute to play and threw a perfect pass to an outstretched Randy Moss in the corner of the end zone to tie it, his heroics were still a little too late. Throughout the game, the Patriots had opportunities to trample all over the Jets, but either ended up giving it away on goofy turnovers, or settled for field goals. And each time Cassel was forced to throw it deep, he constantly overthrew his receiver (mainly, Moss) down field. (Cris Collinsworth pointed this out, oh, ten times last night. We get it — Cassel is no Tom Brady. ) More »

The Patriots Public Relations Department Has Had a Busy Week
Poor Stacey James. Fresh off of the Caitlin Davis fiasco from last week, the Patriots executive director of PR has found himself answering more uncomfortable questions about persons loosely affiliated with the team. This week, it's Marblehead High School Coach, Doug Chernovetz (pictured), who was awarded "Coach of the Week" from the team for steering the once putrid Magicians to their first winning season in 16 years. The problem is, Chernovetz is entangled in a messy legal suit with one of his former players. More »

Tom Brady Isn't Doing So Hot
If you see Tom Brady this weekend, don't ask him about the knee! After finding out that his joints aren't made out of cotton candy and lollipops, doctors are worried about an infection that arose after his ACL reconstruction. They have now performed three separate procedures to try and fight it, and just to give the story a little more juice, the Patriots are P.O.ed—yeah, that's right—at their hobbled franchise because he's a special little angel who always has to have everything his way.

Jay Cutler Out to Prove his Arm is Bigger Than His Mouth
Tonight, the Denver Broncos and mouthy quarterback Jay Cutler swagger into Foxboro and will attempt to frustrate the completely neutralized New England Patriots on their home field. Even though the Pats do not remotely resemble anything close to the juggernaut they were last year, they're still favored by three points. Somebody in Vegas must think that Matt Cassel is destined for a career defining game even though he's coming off a week of putridity. Cutler, on the other hand, is one of the league leaders in passing this season and, of course, disrespecting Phillip Rivers and John Elway. One could only imagine what kind of thoughts he has about poor Cassel. More »

This came in a little too late to make Who's Sorry Now?, but the Boston Globe has issued an apology on its web site that can only be described as comedy gold.

Has Success Spoiled The Patriots Fan?
Boos in Foxboro? Having grown up in California, I'm kind of used to seeing streams of disgruntled fans heading for the exits way before the game has ended (and that includes high school crowds, when I was playing). I just never thought I'd see it in Patriots Land. Has seven years of football success spoiled the Pats fan? Their behavior following their worst home loss in 10 years, a 38-13 drubbing to the Dolphins, may indicate that the answer is yes. Anyway, cornerback Ellis Hobbs thinks that may be the case. More »

Ask Not What Tom Brady Can Do For You, Ask What You Can Do For Tom Brady

Jason Whitlock Continues To Be Part-Time Publicist For Jeff George's Lonely Right Arm
Love him or loathe him, Jason Whitlock is one of the most fascinating sports writers working today. His columns are always infused with a stridency and subversion that make his words compelling, regardless of how batshitty the context or opinion. Like Jason Whitlock. Like him a lot. And today's column in the Kansas City Star, "Advice To Belichick: Sign Jeff George" veers into that weird, nonsensical universe that makes it appear the big man's been smoking a little salvia between paragraphs. Yes, Whitlock is unabashedly in love with Jeff George's Right Arm. Has been for years. And any time he's given the opportunity to pimp his boy, he does it both out of East Indy solidarity and genuine admiration. Today he puts logic in action as to why Jeff George should be the man to save the Patriots season. More »

So you thought you were suffering from Tom Brady overload? At least there's only one of him. Meet the Cassels! Matt, of course, you know; he filled in for the mangled Brady on Sunday and led the Patriots to a 17-10 win over the Chiefs.

Tom Brady Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Forget for a moment how the Patriots are going to cope without Tom Brady this season; how is the league itself going to survive? The facts are these: We awaken on Monday morning to a world in which Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are irrelevant, and Brett Favre and Kurt Warner are dancing about celebrating like 12-year-olds. The Panthers beat the Chargers, the Falcons are winning without Michael Vick; me no like bizarro NFL. The big story of course is Brady, who is laid out on a table at Miracle Max's place right now, where we await word if he's dead, or only mostly dead. With Tim Rattay speeding toward Foxborough by bus, expect the former. More »
