Heartbreaker in Foxborough

Mac Jones hopped off the field Sunday at Gillette Stadium after suffering an injury to his left ankle in a 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. X-rays reportedly showed no broken bones, but he’ll undergo MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. Given the apparent seriousness of it, he’ll almost certainly miss […]

Crazy Weekend in the NFL

All manner of insanity broke out in Sunday’s NFL games.

Death by ‘Analytics’

“Mom knew more about football than half these people,” my brother Kirby remarked this morning, discussing the role of “analytics” in the Monday Night Football defeat of the Denver Broncos.

Mac Jones Doesn’t Expect to Lose

Mac Jones is expected to start at quarterback tonight when the New England Patriots host the Carolina Panthers in their second preseason game. Last week against the Giants, Mac and the first string didn’t play, so veteran backup QB Brian Hoyer and rookie Bailey Zappe got all the reps. This week, the Patriots held two […]

America Needs More Patriotism

“Patriotism,” as in being a New England Patriots fan. My team — led by my quarterback, Mac Jones — opened training camp last week, and the stands were crowded with thousands of Patriots fans. Is there any other team in America that gets that kind of turnout for training camp? After winning six Super Bowls […]
