Patriots: Nobody's Perfect
By Carly Carioli

As always, in times of trouble, trial, and tribulation -- no less THE SINGLE WORST LOSS IN NEW ENGLAND SPORTS HISTORY -- we look to . . . Hannah Montana. Oh, Miley, what would you sing to a town writhing in misery this morning? What have you for the vanquished 2007-08 New England Patriots, a team whose season is destined to replace "Casey at the Bat" as the tragic, cautionary sports tale of all time?

Chargers crash the party
By Ryan Stewart

Here's what we imagine happening between last Friday and this morning: football pundits like Peter King started mentally drafting their AFC Championship preview columns for Monday that would have focused on how if there was one team who could beat the Patriots, it was the team that most resembled the previous, title-winning editions of the Patriots: the Indianapolis Colts.

What is there left to say about the Patriots?
By Ryan Stewart

We feel obliged to say something about the Patriots as they stand on the brink of completing an undefeated regular season, but really - what hasn't already been said? They're good, obviously, and with the exception of some folks who still want to make CameraGate into a big deal, nobody thinks otherwise. We'd like to run with the "16-0 isn't as meaningful as 19-0" angle, that they'll be relegated to the same space in the history books as the 2001 Seattle Mariners if they don't win a title, that the legions of Patriots haters out there are really hoping for just such an opportunity to rub it in our faces if they go down in the Super Bowl or sooner - but that's not even how we feel.

A quick note about your New England Patriots
By Ryan Stewart

The gentleman pictured above is Chris Hanson, punter for the New England Patriots. In eight games, he's been called upon to punt 18 times. For those who don't know much about football, that's not a lot of punts.

But that's not what this post is about - I'm not here to give you a different spin on "The Patriots are really good."

The Patriots' videotaping scandal: Let's all take a deep breath here
By Ryan Stewart

I'm not sure there's any way I can attempt to take a rational look at the recent revelations of the Patriots' videotaping tactics in a way that will make me look like anything but a homer, but I'm going to try.

What happened on Sunday was against the rules. And the Patriots got caught doing it. Whatever penalty the league decides to hand down in this case will have to be something we as fans accept and move on.

Pats caught cheating by Roger Goodell
By Ryan Stewart

OH LIKE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE WON THAT GAME ANYWAY

(Image from here via here.)

(UPDATE: Apparently this has been going on for some time. Finding out that Belichick's allegedly been doing this since he was with the Browns puts this in a new light. Hm.)

Drew Bledsoe, all about his retirement
By Ryan Stewart

Deadspin finds an interview with ex-Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe in which he says this:

"The best day of my year was always the day after the season when we landed in Whitefish and I could feel myself exhale. Like the pressure was lifted off my shoulders - a physical feeling when we would get into Whitefish. I always looked forward to that day every year and it never let me down.

Better Late Than Never...
By Ian Sands

"It's a little hard to know, but I think it's a fair statement to say this is not necessarily a fatal injury, he doesn't have to die." That’s Dr. Thomas Scalea, head physician at the University of Maryland's Shock Trauma Center, speaking about how modern technology might have saved Abraham Lincoln at a UMD School Of Medicine conference on the deaths of historic figures.

Randy Moss is a Patriot
By Ryan Stewart

"That is a disgusting act by Randy Moss. And it's unfortunate
that we have that on our air live." - Joe Buck

We imagine Reche Caldwell's deer-in-the-headlights eyes growing even wider when he heard the news: the Patriots have added one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL today. This after already having brought in Donte Stallworth, Kelley Washington, and Wes Welker.

Move over, Brian Urlacher ...
By Ryan Stewart

...there's a new king of illegitimate children in the NFL. While Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli have brought Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, Sammy Morris and Kyle Brady into the fold in hopes of improving the team on the field, they may have to make room for not one but two more members of the Patriots family. You know about Bridget's baby, but now, citing a report on a Brazilian gossip Web site, the Globe is saying that Giselle is expecting as well
