Three Great Tastes That Taste Great Together

This Man Knows What Athletics Really Mean
The Fanhouse discussed this yesterday, but we wouldn't help but play with it some more: There's a Massachusetts politician named Kevin Thompson who is kind of losing his mind about Tom Brady. Actually, he has a problem with athletes in general....

His Next Job Will Be To Take Over For Stu Jackson
This spry gentleman's name is Bill Hargrove — he's the round immobile object between the orange ball and the red ball — and he just bowled his age. You might not find this all that impressive, though we find it difficult to bowl our age, ourselves. (We are not a skilled bowler.) But readers, smile, ...
Tedy Bruschi's Going To Want To Try This Out Now
You know, a lot of people express concern about our nation's youth. But I say, when you've got a 13-year-old boy, smiling so broadly in front of a football star that he just tricked into throwing up the shocker ... I think the future's in good hands....
Son, This Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You

Randy Moss To The Patriots. We Still Don't Believe It.
As we await the inevitable Bill Simmons column about this — Five Tool Tool goes ahead and sums it up for us — we continue to watch our mind boggle over the notion of Randy Moss playing for the Patriots. We've never found Moss as annoying as, say, Terrell Owens, but he's hardly what we think of when ...

I don't know if this will turn out to be good news or bad news for those of you who are sick of the New England Patriots being a model franchise. They have, according to Adam Schefter at the NFL Network, agreed to trade for Oakland's Randy Moss....
So It Goes, Drew Bledsoe
So not to be a big freaking cliche or anything — "My Gosh, the inexorable forward march of time sure does strike me, as someone in my mid-twenties/early-thirties, as something that is unique and particular only to me!" — but seriously, though: The fact that Drew Bledsoe retired yesterday legitimatel...
The Sad Aftereffect Of The Chinese NFL Cancellation
As we mentioned yesterday, the schedule NFL game between the Patriots and Seahawks in China has been canceled. That's good news for each team's players and coaches, whom we suspect had little desire to break from training camp and head to freaking China....
The Patriots Are Dominating Free Agency
I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with how the New England Patriots are spending money this off-season. The Patriots are a threat to win the Super Bowl when they aren't spending money. Adding Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, Kyle Brady and now Donte Stallworth to the mix... it just makes me terribly...

A Game You And Your Nine Year Old Daughter Can Play Together
So there's this site — Tim Hardaway can tell you all about it — called Stardoll, where you can virtually dress up all the stars into whatever outfits you want them to wear.

A Very Brady Ash Wednesday
As was discussed here over the weekend, Tom Brady is going to be a daddy! (We've already got our baby shower gift picked out). It's never our place to judge, but we can't help but wonder how this whole thing is playing at home with the folks. Not only is their son not planning to marry the mom, actr...
Tom Brady's Sperm Is Clutch
Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady have been broken up for a while, but a few months ago, she gave him time to set up in the pocket, and he delivered. Moynahan is pregnant, and the baby, according to various reports, is Tom Brady's. The fetus has already been offered several scholarships....
Ted Johnson Would Like You To Remind Him Where He Put His Keys ... And His Pants
Wasn't it just a couple of years ago that Bill Belichick was God? Lose a couple of big games, and it all begins to crumble.
