A New England Patriots fan told Joe Fitzgerald at the Herald that some overzealous Pats fans beat up him, his friend, and his cousins, who happened to be Jaguars fans and who were wearing Jaguar gear, after the Pats-Jaguars game. Brian Wormstead recounts the appalling pummeling he received in the parking lot after a brief exchange with the Pats fans: "I just know I’ve got a punctured eardrum and lumps all over me; Chris has......

In honor of the mother of all football matchups, which will take place when the New England Patriots play the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday afternoon, Bostonist is going to compare the coaches and the quarterbacks. The following piece addresses one of the sillier aspects of the Face Off--which quarterback inspires the most baby names. You can compare New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning in all kinds of ways. Their......

There's something about Tom Brady that's a little annoying. He's talented and good-looking and all, but not all the parts come together to make a whole. In a recent Globe piece, Wesley Morris pinned down the problem with Brady by comparing him to his archrival, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. Morris writes, "As Brady has racked up championships and magazine covers, Manning seems to have won something that eludes Brady: The rest of the country.......

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! A familiar foe in a familiar venue with the stakes as high as it gets. The winner of Pats v. Colts goes to Miami for a shot at the Super Bowl. It doesn't get much better than this. What does our beloved home squad, the New England Patriots, need to do in order to win this game? Indy came into New England (pre-FieldTurf, mind you) and took New England to task 27-20 on November......

The Patriots proved to a national audience Monday evening that this team is for real, and in all likelihood will be playing playoff games in January, and maybe one in February... (crossing fingers, dodging lightning bolts, knocking on wood) New England utterly dominated the Minnesota Vikings (who were billed as the "Denver Broncos of the NFC", who handed the Pats their lone defeat of the season) 31-7 last night, a few miles from the......

WEEI radio station of Boston is reporting that Adam Vinatieri, New England Patriots Kicker and Super Bowl winner extraordinaire, may be moving on, and to an interesting new team - the Indianapolis Colts. Several Boston news stations are reporting that the Colts and Vinatieri have agreed in principal to what is most likely a multi-year deal with a hefty sum up front and/or guaranteed. Terms of the deal have not yet been made available.......

Ahh.. The Pats... what a squad, eh? Less than a week after being left for dead in Foxboro at the hands of the NFL's best team, the Indianapolis Colts, the Pats were back on the field facing a divisional foe, the Miami Dolphins, in a critical AFC East matchup. The Patriots were banged up, big time. David Givens was out. Corey Dillon was active, but after a single play didn't return to the Pats......

It’s tough to complain about the Boston sports scene, especially with all the successes over the past few years... But let's be honest... The Indianapolis Colts took the defending champs to the proverbial woodshed last night, and it wasn't pretty. The Colts jumped out to a Speedy Gonzalez 7-0 lead in a mere 2:27 (the quickest opening TD against a New England defense in the Belichick tenure), capped off with a 1 yard TD......

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......
