The Patriots threw an interception off Edelman’s fingertips literally seconds after the muffed punt, handing the Chiefs the ball with even better field position, after which they scored a touchdown. That particular replay decision had no effect on the outcome whatsoever. There were questionable calls and missed calls t…

Unbelievable...for those who don’t follow America East Conference hoops (which I assume is virtually everyone)...UMBC’s very presence in the tournament was a huge long-shot. Conference powerhouse Vermont went 15-1 in league play and cruised through the conference tournament to set up a meeting with UMBC for a trip to…

They have plenty of depth, they can roll out a starting five of Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, Marcus Morris, Al Horford and bring Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Terry Rozier and Baynes off the bench...that’s a 9 man rotation if need be, how deep do you need to go? I think it’s a plus that this roster is a…

I think you’re being extremely charitable to the Cavaliers end of this deal and vastly underselling Kyrie Irving in the process. This was a fair exchange, the rare deal that presents risk for both sides and arguably makes both sides better. Your list of point guards better than Irving is kind of laughable. Chris Paul?…

This is clearly another attempt by the league to flex muscle and exercise the extremely broad powers of the commissioner that were legally affirmed in the Brady case. To all the NFL fans out there that danced on the Patriots’ grave and rejoiced when Goodell handed down a farce of a penalty to Tom Brady with no hard…

Really devastated to hear of Bryan’s passing...he was a racer’s racer. He could do it all, it’s impossible to explain to the casual observer what kind of talent, versatility and bravery it takes to run wingless sprints, winged sprints, midgets...sometimes multiple disciplines in the same night. Bryan was successful at…

What an awesome story for Formula 1 to cap off a fairly eventful and entertaining race. Full credit to Verstappen for a great drive, showed a lot of poise for an 18 year old when he was under fire, but I feel like this race was handed to him after the Mercedes incident and some truly head-scratching strategy. If I’m…

FWIW it was still the highest rated sporting event on cable networks this weekend, beating the NBA and NHL playoffs. Shame people didn’t tune in because it was a hell of a race, just an awesome show all day. There was great racing for the lead, passing throughout the field, a Talladega style “big one”. Overall the…

Former CSNNE commentator Kirk Minihane said that this was pretty well known to most at the network in a recent article for WEEI. Other media members have also indicated questions have been out there for a while about their relationship. I think people in New England generally had less of a problem with the Jenny Dell…

It’s absolutely incredible that this story hasn’t gotten more traction in the lead up to the Super Bowl. The mainstream sports media LOVES Peyton Manning...their adulation is barely disguised. The contrast between the way this story has been handled and the farcical media circus surrounding “deflategate” last year is…

I’m not a huge fan of the caution clock idea, but is it really so bad to try it out on a third-tier series? NASCAR has historically done its experimenting in the truck series (such as racing on dirt) and this caution clock isn’t really so different from the mid-race “halftime caution” that was part of the truck series…

I find it hysterical that New England had the fewest fumbles of any offense in the league in 2015 and one of their lowest fumble rates in a decade with all the new PSI testing after all the pseudo-science and accusations that were thrown around this time last year about the Patriots institutional cheating and the…

So your position is that Burfict’s knee injured Roethlisberger’s AC joint after the tackle...not the combined impact of a 250 pound linebacker and a 240 pound quarterback landing on it? Duly noted

Burfict did plenty of stupid things in this game but the hit that injured Roethlisberger was perfectly legal and was in no way a “cheap shot”

Interestingly enough, people in New England think that same thing about people from the South. Have you ever been to Mississippi, Alabama or Texas? The rural south makes even the most remote northeastern backwater seem like Harvard. Also along those lines, New England is home to the vast majority of elite learning…

This was a phenomenal game so it just sucks that the officials had to make themselves part of the outcome. Even if you despise the Patriots you have to admit they got absolutely hosed in a couple of huge spots in the 4th. The part that made it really galling was the way the officials stayed out of the way of a great…

It should be noted he was paid for 15 of those 19 games however

After showing off his woodsy masculinity by blasting a captive pheasant at point blank range with an overpowered weapon he posted a picture of himself and an aide doing laundry at a laundromat in Iowa because he’s also a #realguy who’s just like the rest of us...you know, except for being a batshit rube with medieval…

It’s funny to me that this is exactly the kind of thing NASCAR, fans and the media clamor for when nothing is happening, and then when it does they act outraged. NASCAR will be upset about it and then use it in every promotional commercial for the next 3 years. As for the incident..I was floored when it happened, but…

The Patriots are in everyone’s head right now...the Jets having the locker room swept for bugs, the Colts feeling they need to run complicated trick plays and onside kicks, the Steelers crying about radio issues even though both teams were experiencing them, the Ravens bitching about the completely legal formations…
