Floyd Mayweather Jr. Bet $1 Million Against Tim Tebow
Two weeks ago, the New England Patriots walked all over the Denver Broncos in a 41-23 win. More importantly, Mayweather got rich—well, richer. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Mayweather had $1 million on the Patriots. The director of the Cantor Gaming sports book at the M Resort, Mike Colb...
Elvis Dumervil Made Tom Brady Fear For His Life
Sure, the Patriots throttled the Broncos 41-23. But New England's victory didn't come at the expense of a little of Tom Brady's machismo, as the horrified look in his eyes upon this sack by Elvis Dumervil was more apropos for someone who wears Uggs. Which, I guess, means it's apropos—period. ...
The Worst Way To Find Out Santa Isn't Real: From A Patriots Punter
FOX in Boston did a spot with Julian Edelman and Zoltan Mesko at the Patriots' annual charity event. Interesting choice of players since Edelman's Jewish and Mesko, being Romanian, probably worships the Great Fire Eagle or something. As a kicker, the reporter asked the pair what they want for Chri...
Here's Tom Brady's Bitchfest With An Assistant Coach
Up a touchdown late in the Patriots' battle in Washington, Tom Brady threw an interception in the Redskins' end zone then threw a tantrum on his own sideline with New England assistant coach Bill O'Brien. The two eventually had to be separated, though CBS analyst Dan Dierdorf would have you think...
Just Gronk Bein' Gronk
Rob Gronkowski set the NFL season record for TD catches by a tight end today with his 14th grab, but it was set up by this remarkable play in which the porn star-loving Patriot managed to stay on his feet long enough to turn a short gain into a... longer one. [CBS]...
Head Injuries Make Rob Gronkowski Giggle

Let's Watch The Patriots' Julian Edelman Somewhat Improbably Return This Punt For A Touchdown

Tampa Bay Will Take In Albert Haynesworth
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Tampa Bay Bucs have claimed Albert Haynesworth just a day after the Patriots released him (sentimental Belichick: "It just didn't work out"). This is an experiment that is almost proven to fail by now, but perhaps the warm air will be good for him. [Twitter]...
Patriots Reportedly Release Albert Haynesworth
According to the Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, the Patriots have released DT Albert Haynesworth (and noted unlikeable NFL player) after a very brief stint with New England. He's played minimally in six games this season. [Twitter]...
There Is Finally An Inspirational Children's Book About Danny Woodhead
If every undersized, scrappy professional athlete could have an inspirational children’s book written about him or her, the world would be full of adolescents with overblown expectations about their futures. But since that’s already the case with America’s youth, scraptastic young men like Greg Paul...
How A Comedian Helped Birth The "F-You" Patriots
Back in September 2007, the Patriots were caught taping the Jets' defensive signals on the sideline. This was week one, after the Patriots beat the Jets, 38-14. The next 15 games—all of which the Patriots won—were blowouts a lot like that, but with a venomous edge. In his new book, War Room, which h...

Here is a list of quarterbacks who have had higher QB ratings against the Patriots this year than Eli Manning did yesterday: • Chad Henne • Philip Rivers • Ryan Fitzpatrick • Jason Campbell • Mark Sanchez • Tony Romo • Ben Roethlisberger...
Eli Manning Beats Tom Brady, Will Still Not Be Considered Elite: Your Sunday NFL Roundup
For whatever reason, Eli will always be considered just an "OK" quarterback. Maybe it's because he is a contemporary of some very, very good quarterbacks—one of whom is his big brother—or maybe it's because he is kind of a doofus. Either way, here's your Sunday roundup. Enjoy....
Getting An Answer Out Of Bill Belichick Is Fucking Frustrating
Thrill to the master of stonewalling doing his damndest not to say anything interesting, or really anything at all about Julian Edelman's assault and battery arrest. The Boston papers sent their general reporters and not their sports writers to Belichick's presser so they could ask the tough quest...
Patriots Player, Dressed As A Cop, Was Charged With Indecent Assault And Battery On Halloween Night
New England Patriot Julian Edelman was charged with indecent assault and battery on a woman early this morning. He is due in Boston Municipal Court for an arraignment today.
