Will There Be 21?


Will Tom Brady play next year? That seems to be a big question from the media. He has no contract with the team after this season. It was a "mutual agreement" when they decided to do that.

His time left in the NFL is short. He likes to say he can play forever, but nobody ever did it.

He has done the greatest job keeping his career alive. Winning always helps.

The End For Bennett


It was inevitable that the Pats would move on from Michael Bennett. His signing had so much promise, but he complained about playing time.

I will never blame him about that. I thought he would have a bigger role in the defense.

His value goes down if he doesn't play. They did him a favor by trading him to the Cowboys. I wish him the best.

End of Josh 2.0


It was shocking to see the tenure of Josh Gordon come to an abrupt end today when the Pats placed him on IR.

He thought differently and said he could again play this season.

Will the team make an injury settlement with him?

I hope he has success in the future if he signs with another team.

Is It Harry Time?


Will Pats WR and first round draft pick N'Keal Harry play this season? He is practicing with the team during their short window to activate him to the 53 man roster.

They need a lot of help on offense, but only so many players can play on that side of the ball.

Sam's Moment


The Pats beat the Jets tonight 33-0.They dominated in all three phases of the game as Coach Belichick would say.

Jets QB Sam Darnold said it all when he talked about seeing ghosts.

That will always be an epic sound bite.

The Great Lamar


Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is a very gifted player. He is so exciting to watch, but I wonder how long his playing style can last in the NFL.

The list is long of running quarterbacks who went down and lost their speed. Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick were so fast at one time, but their star faded too soon from injury.

We should enjoy these players.

UMass Can't Lose Today


It was a great day for the UMass Football program. The 1-6 team had a bye week so there was no way they could lose another game.

Who knows whether they can beat UConn on Homecoming Weekend.

Once again, the season is headed to another losing record.

Why can't they win? The team has great practice and training facilities.

Their schedule is so difficult as an Independent.

Brady Does It Better


Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is a dual threat with his passing and ability to create a play when he runs. He was MVP last year while making it look so easy.

Tom Brady will never be considered a runner, but he can fall forward to get one yard for a first down when it really matters.

Last night against the Broncos, Mahomes tried a quarterback sneak that ended in disaster. It looked like a horrible knee injury, but has been diagnosed as a displace knee cap that could keep him out for up to six weeks. He is very luck that it wasn't for the season.

All of the great running quarterbacks start with an injury like this. Hopefully, it doesn't effect him long term.

Giving Up Too Much


There are a lot of teams that have no problem trading their future first round picks for a player they want.

The Jaguars finally traded disgruntled CB Jalen Ramsey to the Rams for first round picks in 2020 and 201, as well as a fourth-rounder in 2021.

It was a lot to give up for one player who is probably the best at his position in the league.

It remains to be seen if this was a good deal for both sides.

N'Keal Time


The Pats drafted WR N'Keal Harry in the first round this year. He has been injured, but finally practiced with the team for the first time.

There is a short window to activate him to the 53 man roster or place him on season ending IR.

It sounds like he might be ready, but we never know.

Bennett Out Monday Night


Will Michael Bennett be traded in light of his suspension for the Jets game? He has been very vocal about his lack of playing time and it finally boiled over with some type of discussion that got out of hand.

The Pats don't want to release him before the trading deadline because he could become a free agent and end up with a team they could face in the playoffs.

They will most likely trade him just to get something in return.

Ben Watson Back


It looks like Ben Watson will be back with the Pats tomorrow. He will return for a lot less money.

They will get him cheap because at age 38, he doesn't have too many options.

The Pats no longer have a fullback. It sounds like they might be going with three tight ends.

There is no doubt that the list of fullbacks is short.
