They’re BA-A-A-A-ACK!
Belichick’s boys are looking good: Despite starting the season with a 2-4 record, the New England Patriots now have the inside track to win their division.

Patriots Extend Winning Streak to Five Games, and Super Bowl Chatter Begins
Exactly as I predicted: Since dropping a thrilling overtime game against Dallas on Oct. 17, New England has churned out five straight victories, with four of them coming by double-digits. The Patriots have held each of their last three opponents to fewer than eight points, including a shutout of the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. […]
Patriots Dominate Browns, 45-7
On Saturday, I wrote that if the New England Patriots could “get a convincing win” against the Cleveland Browns, fans would begin talking about the team in Super Bowl terms.

The University of Alabama survived a scare Saturday against LSU, coming away with a hard-fought 20-14 victory to keep alive the Crimson Tide’s hopes of another trip to the college football playoffs. LSU stopped Alabama’s running game — something that is cause for concern going forward — and forced the Tide to rely on quarterback […]

The NFL’s (Other) Race Problem
This morning I woke up at 6:30 a.m. and reached for my phone. I’d fallen asleep after watching YouTube videos of police chases, which I consider therapeutic — something to distract me from the insanity of politics. So I swiped the screen to get back to my YouTube home page, and one of the first […]
