The Patriots usually love them some Buffalo Bills. New England is 15-1 against the Bills in the Tom Brady era. The Pats should win today, and they should be highly motivated, too, in light of last week's Jets disaster. more ›

Tim Thomas has been a rock in goal for the Bruins; even when they've been floundering offensively - and make no mistake, they have - Thomas has played well enough to keep them in the game. But last night against Toronto, another team struggling to put the biscuit in the basket, the B's found their rhythm and controlled the tempo, punishing old friend Andrew Raycroft for a 5-2 win. (Your humble correspondent was there, doing... more ›

While you, and we, have been fixated on the Red Sox and the Patriots and the Celtics, the Revolution have quietly made their way back to the MLS Cup. And it's time attention is paid. The Revs are in the Finals for the third straight year, and fourth since 2002. They got there by outlasting Chicago 1-0, with Taylor Twellman scoring his second goal of the playoffs. Which was also the team's second goal of... more ›

From the Hail Mary pass tossed in 1984 for Boston College, to his signing with the Bears, then back home with the Patriots where he belonged - well, until he went up north and played for the Canadian Football League, Doug Flutie has been on the Boston sports radar. In 1998 he came back down to the States (not too far south) playing for the Buffalo Bills. He then signed with the San Diego Chargers in 2001. After being the oldest starting QB in NFL history, Flutie had been relegated to second string duty for the Chargers. So he came back home. Calling Natick home since age six, Flutie signed with the Pats, the home team, in 2005 to become backup for Tom Brady. On January 1, 2006 Flutie scored an extra point against the Dolphins with a drop kick, something not accomplished since 1941. Today, after only a season back with the Pats, Flutie announced his retirement from professional football at age 43. more ›

Tom Brady’s week can be summed up best with a reference to eclectic director Quentin Tarantino’s latest film(s), the Kill Bills. In the movie Kill Bill Vol. 1, David Carradine’s character “Bill” finds his former cohort and lover, Uma Thurman’s character, Beatrice Kiddo (a.k.a., the Black Mamba, the most deadly woman in the world) in a small Midwestern town on the eve of her wedding. Beatrice, who has obviously left her former life as an assassin and relationship with Bill, was not looking to be found. She asks Bill, who conveniently shows up at her wedding rehearsal, “How did you find me? Bill responds simply “I’m the man.” Brady and the Pats provided a similarly emphatic response in their Sunday contest against the Buffalo Bills. more ›

While Tom Brady was hardly the focus of Sunday night's contest, the Patriots were able to overcome a 16-7 4th quarter deficit and rally to overcome the visiting Buffalo Bills 21-16. The minions of "the Krafty one" were able to pull of an inspiring comeback that began with a meager 10:37 remaining in the contest. After a penalty-filled lackluster contest in the first half that ended 3-0 in favor of the visiting Bills, the Pats... more ›
