We'll all look at the Patriots roster to evaluate how good of the season the team will have. If you look at who the team released and see what they're doing now, you can see how the Patriots stack up in 2011. Teams want players not good enough for New England. Nine former players, released by Bill Belichick, have signed with other teams. Brandon Meriweather signed a one-year deal with Chicago and Brandon Tate joined Cincinnati. Lee Smith, Thomas Austin, Will Yeatman, Landon Cohen, Jonathan Wilhite, Ricky Brown, and James Sanders all also joined new NFL teams.

Texas had their way with the Red Sox on Friday night with a 10-0 rout and the Red Sox returned the favor yesterday by overpowering the Rangers, 12-7. An eighth-inning barrage highlighted by Carl Crawford's grand slam put Boston up 9-3. Crawford finished 2-5 with four RBI. Dustin Pedroia finished off Texas in the sixth with bases-loaded double that scored three runs. Boston's offense had 16 hits, a total that included four hits from Josh Reddick.
CTV reported that Montreal police will actually open a criminal investigation into the hit that inflicted a severe concussion and a fractured vertebra on Pacioretty. Capt. Angelo Nieves confirmed Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather was "present during a shooting...being investigated" by the Orange County sheriff's department. Police want to interview Meriweather about the incident, but didn't "characterize" his status.
John Morgan represents two men who were shot at a house party in Apopka, Fla., on February 27. They reportedly accused Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather of shooting them despite initially refusing to cooperate with a police investigation. NESN says no police report names Meriweather in connection with this incident.
Yeah, we know it's not really winter; it's that time of year when you put on the winter coat in the morning because it's 40 and wish you hadn't when you leave work and it's 65. (Or is that just us?) But the Bruins finally make a regular season Boston appearance tomorrow, the Celtics wrap up the preseason tonight, and the Yankees are clinging by their fingernails. It's a good time to be in Boston right now.
We had a flashback yesterday afternoon around 4 p.m. We won't draw any conclusions from it yet, but, we liked what we saw. The Patriots frankly looked beat early in the fourth quarter, down 20-10 to the Ravens. And then, something changed. Tom Brady and Deion Branch got their Super Bowl MVP grooves back, the defense found a way to quash the Ravens attack, and Stephen Gostkowski looked like he could kick through a blizzard.
How great is this? Two meaningless games with the Yankees on the same day! Wow. After about three hours of rain delay, the Sox moved Friday's game to Saturday for a doubleheader. The games are at 4:10 p.m. and 9:05 p.m. Friday's ticket is good for the second game.
It's hard not to experience a letdown after a 59-0 thrashing like the one the Pats put on Tennessee last night. The schedule makers, though, were kind enough to put another winless patsy in the Patriots' path, and the boys responded, delighting Londoners (well, we like to think so, anyway) with a 35-7 mauling of the Buccaneers.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick seems like a lot of things--sneaky, serious, and smelly since he insists on wearing the same stuff all the time. And now it turns out that he's funny, too. Here's the first example John Tomase at the Herald provides of Belichick's humor: During training camp, rookie Brandon Meriweather granted an interview to the Herald in which he talked about how lucky he was to practice every day against Wes...
As fans, we can afford to be capricious. That's why the Kevin Garnett-to-the-Celtics rumors, which seemed way too expensive back in June when we thought we were building for the future, have us a little giddier now. ESPN is reporting that the trade talks are starting to swirl around again; the deal would still involve Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff (who is the Celtics MVP based on how much everyone lusts after his expiring contract), and...
You can't help but kind of miss Lenny DiNardo. The guy, for all accounts, is a pretty young, affable, decent enough guy with an arm that wasn't Beckett standout, but still something to look out for. When the Red Sox let him go to clear room on the roster for J.D. Drew, we weren't heartbroken, but there was a moment of disappointment, too. Of course, DiNardo looks even better when he's pitching scoreless ball -...
First, the Patriots draft troubled but talented safety Brandon Meriweather. Now, they trade for talented but troubled wide receiver Randy Moss, for a fourth-round pick and a round of KFC Famous Bowls. Is Bill Belichick trying to start a gang? Or is he convinced that he can take these miscreants and ne'er-do-wells and mold them into a Super Bowl team? Our money is on the latter. "There's no such thing as a bad boy," said...
Something funny happened on the way to yesterday's anticpated Red Sox slaughter of the Yankees. Funny-odd, that it, not funny-ha-ha. Two batters into the game, Yankees starter Jeff Karstens left the game injured after being whacked with a Julio Lugo line drive. Eight innings of the Yankee bullpen? Final score's gonna be 24-1, right? Um, no. Kei Igawa, who was slated to be sent down to Scranton, if not Coney Island, came on in relief...
