Well, nobody expected that. For the second year in a row, the New England Patriots were bounced out of the playoffs, at home, by an allegedly inferior team. Last year, Baltimore crushed the good guys. It got way worse yesterday as the New York Jets shocked, well, everyone outside of their lockerroom, and beat the Patriots, 28-21.

Boston is suffering through a second blizzard in less than a month. We're getting a blizzard of comments from New Jersey's New York Jets. Rex Ryan checked in on Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Now, thanks to a classy New York Daily News cover, we hear from Antonio Cromartie and his unique take on #12. Cromartie said Brady is "An ass----." He also said about Brady, "---- him." Lovely.
Let's just say it: Neither Boston team that played on Monday night deserved to win. When the final buzzers sounded at the TD Garden and the Consol Energy Center, one Boston team was on the losing end and another was victorious. But neither deserved reason to celebrate.
Two days after the Jets beat the Colts to earn another trip to Foxboro for a divisional playoff contest with the Patriots, the hype is in overdrive. We've got an entire week of this. As Bill Belichick might say, "it is what it is."
The Patriots don't even play this weekend and the chatter about the team hasn't slowed one bit.
Guess we know what Tom Brady will be giving his family and friends for Christmas this year. He is the newly minted spokesman for UGG Australia. He also recently joined forces with Under Armour.
The Red Sox and Yankees treat each other with mutual respect these days (well, until we sign Jeter and all hell breaks loose.) The Knicks are barely worth getting riled up about, and the Rangers barely crack our radar. What's a NY-hating local fan to do? Well, for one thing, he can thank the heavens for sending Rex Ryan our way.
The NFL keeps proving it's the best show in town. The Thanksgiving tripleheader turned into a preview for what could be the league's signature game of the entire season a week from Monday. Two 9-2 teams, the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, square off on December 6 in what might be a decisive moment in the fight for home-field advantage in the AFC.
Despite Tom Brady's awesomeness on the field, there are times when he does things that make you wonder about him. Then, he provides us with unequivocal redemption.
As frustrating as the Red Sox are, at least they play almost every day. And last week, when we had a Day Without Boston Sports, we needed it, because everyone in town was getting their fannies kicked.
Professional sports is loaded with people who have a lot to say. They talk about what they've done, or will do, usually in glowing terms. It worked well for Joe Namath. Rafael Palmeiro? Not so much.
Two more big mouths decided to flap their gums on Tuesday in Boston's general direction: Jack Cust - stop laughing - of the Oakland A's and Rex Ryan, current HC of the NYJ.
