The Green Bay Packers and Martellus Bennett didn’t exactly end their marriage on the greatest of terms. With fallout still being felt in various areas, the National Football League franchise will reportedly go after the bonus money it gave the tight end when he came to Green Bay. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Packers […]

Poor Tom Brady. All the New England Patriots quarterback was trying to do was post a benign message on social media. Then, because beast, Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller had a little fun at the future Hall of Famer’s expense. Here is Tom Brady’s completely harmless photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/BbSnE7nhnI4/ Miller posted a photo on Instagram from […]

When the Green Back Packers released tight end Martellus Bennett, everyone assumed the New England Patriots would scoop him up. Those people were correct. What people were not predicting, however, was several teammates coming out to say some iffy things about the veteran talent. Linebacker Ahmad Brooks claimed to have asked Bennett about the retirement […]

On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers made a move that no one saw coming. The team decided to part ways with tight end Martellus Bennett who was Green Bay’s biggest free-agent acquisition in the offseason.

The injury bug has bit the New England Patriots at some key spots this season, and right now starters Chris Hogan, Malcom Brown, and Marcus Cannon are all dealing with ailments. Before the regular season began, Tom Brady’s top receiving target Julian Edelman was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Then, yesterday the […]

If the New England Patriots are to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles this season, they will have to do it minus star defensive linebacker Dont’a Hightower. Something that will make the road to a title a bit tougher. According to Field Yates of ESPN, Hightower has been placed by the team on injured reserve, essentially […]

Everyone assumes the one player the New England Patriots would never trade is quarterback Tom Brady. After all, he is arguably the greatest gunslinger in the history of the sport. Oddly enough, Tom Brady doesn’t exactly agree with people that he’s untouchable. In fact, he can envision a time when the Patriots force him out. […]

Are you ready for your brain to start oozing from your ears? Too bad. Here it comes. According to Jay Glazer, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch asked New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick if he would be willing to trade Tom Brady during the offseason. I repeat, and this is real: 49ers general […]

The New England Patriots are the modern NFL dynasty with five Super Bowl titles over the last 16 years. With quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick heading into the sunset of their careers, it is fair to wonder which franchise will emerge to become the next dominant franchise. There are several teams on […]

This is likely a news post no one ever believed they would be reading, but here we are. New England Patriots quarterback, and certain Hall of Fame player, Tom Brady believes he can learn a few things from journeyman gunslinger Brian Hoyer. Yes. You read that correctly. “It’s fun talking football with him, even in […]

Herm Edwards thinks New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady still has a lot left in the tank. Herman, who was a guest on ESPN’s First Take, disagreed with Max Kellerman’s take that Brady will begin to “fall off a cliff” soon. The former New York Jets coach insisted Brady is different and would prove history […]

The general presumption among football observers and fans after the San Francisco 49ers traded for Jimmy Garoppolo was that the quarterback would immediately take over the reins under center for head coach Kyle Shanahan. It turns out, that’s that is not what’s going to happen. During a press conference on Wednesday, Kyle Shanahan revealed that […]

The New England Patriots have come to terms to bring journeyman quarterback Brian Hoyer to the National Football League franchise.

The New England Patriots made headlines when it shipped backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday. The surprise of that move goes on two levels, though. Apart from leaving the Patriots with one quarterback — for now — in Tom Brady, the trade also baffled plenty of observers as all it […]

Six teams are scheduled for byes in Week 9, and whether you’re going to get hit by starters resting this week or not, there are hidden gems ready to become waiver wire pickups that will bolster your chances of booking a spot in the fantasy football playoffs. Our list this week includes some rising talents […]

The San Francisco 49ers made perhaps what will be the most significant deal heading toward Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. San Francisco acquired Jimmy Gar0ppolo from the New England Patriots and as a result, may have finally found their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately for Brian Hoyer, the addition of Garoppolo resulted in the subtraction of his job […]

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the New England Patriots have traded quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2018 second-round pick.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady might be the greatest player at his position in the history of the sport, but even he gets frustrated when certain things aren’t going his way. One of those things? Not being able to finish drives when the team reaches the right side of the 50-yard marker. “(Struggle) is […]

The New England Patriots continue to roll with Tom Brady and company getting their sixth win of the 2017 NFL season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Although the Patriots have now won four straight games, the team may have suffered a loss with wide receiver Chris Hogan going down with an injury. Hogan went […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman used to play quarterback in college for Kent State. Having hindsight at our back, we now know that Bill Belichick used a seventh-round draft pick to select him, then changing his position to receiver. How that all came about is actually interesting and something Julian Edelman disccuses in his […]

The New England Patriots just got a little worse on the defensive side of the football. Something, you know, the team couldn’t actually afford to have happen. Talented linebacker, Dont’a Hightower has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. According to a report from NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport on Thursday morning, a shoulder injury […]

A wave of byes will be working against fantasy football owners for the next two weeks, with a total of 12 teams scheduled for rest over that span. This means owners will be extra busy looking for the best waiver wire pickups. To help you with that, here’s a look at some potential diamonds in […]

Fog is, at least apparently, a rather polarizing topic. Just ask New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones, as the two had different opinions on the heavy fog that settled in when the two teams played on Sunday. Julio Jones doesn’t let a silly little thing like weather bother him: […]

The New England Patriots are often discussed in terms only relative to Tom Brady. But there’s more parts on the roster that equate to the total sum of the Patriots. One of those is wide receiver Danny Amendola, who was once considered a talent injured far too often, but he is now claiming his best football […]

New England Patriots defensive standout Dont’a Hightower has heard what people has had to say about the team’s defense. That, basically, the Patriots are lucky to have a dynamic offense, manned by the legendary Tom Brady, because the other side of the ball is rather inept. Dont’a Hightower has also had enough of that tomfoolery. “I […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must have a great life. That being said, not everything is perfect for the veteran gunslinger, as he seems relatively unhappy with the usage of receiver Brandin Cooks. You might remember Brandin Cooks as the electric talent from the New Orleans Saints. Since being acquired by the Patriots, however, […]

Brandon Browner’s fall from grace in the NFL was a rather quick one. There’s now new evidence that has come light as for how he possibly went from being a coveted shutdown corner to unemployed in just five seasons. TMZ Sports reported that Browner was secretly arrested in Los Angeles back in May 25 for possession […]

The New England Patriots have been barely coming away with wins this season. Every game seems to come down to the wire with one or two plays dictating the outcome. Tom Brady is the first to admit his part of the blame for the team’s struggles. The five-time Super Bowl champion recently talked about missed […]

The New England Patriots overcame another huge scare in Week 6, beating the division rival New York Jets by a narrow score of 24-17. One could even argue that the Jets might’ve stolen a win had it not been for a controversial call on a scoring play by New York late in Sunday’s game. On […]

It’s not fun to be an Aaron Rodgers fantasy football owner right now, as the injured quarterback is going to be as useful to your team as Jared Lorenzen. There are options, however, to soften the blow of Rodgers’ loss, two of which we have listed below. As always, wide receivers and running backs are […]

The New England Patriots aren’t the dominant team everyone expected they’d be in their Super Bowl title defense this season.

The New England Patriots were able to win a close game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Jameis Winston and company had the defending Super Bowl champions on the ropes, but New England was able to push through and get the victory. Unfortunately, the win may have come at a cost. Superstar quarterback […]

Injuries and bye weeks are the top challenges for fantasy football managers next week. Guys like Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall were hurt on Sunday, along with the New York Giants fans’ feelings after seeing their team drop to 0-5. The Miami Dolphins also lost DeVante Parker in Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, […]

The New England Patriots’ 19-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday was a bit more meaningful for Tom Brady than his close to 200 other regular season wins. With the victory, Brady managed to tie Brett Favre and Peyton Manning for the most regular season wins by a quarterback, with 186. That means […]

The New England Patriots are coming off a disappointing loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 4 and will have to bounce back quickly as they’re set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night on the road. Unfortunately for the Patriots, the defending Super Bowl champions will have to take on the Bucs […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will get additional help this Thursday against the New England Patriots with the return of running back Doug Martin. The Bucs back was suspended for the first four games of the season after a drug test last year yielded a positive result for the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Martin, however, was […]

In preseason predictions and power-rankings, the New England Patriots were constantly placed at the top, and rightfully so. They are, after all, the defending Super Bowl champions, and they added impact players such as WR Brandin Cooks, CB Stephon Gilmore, TE Dwayne Allen, and RB Mike Gillislee. One team that many thought would be able […]

The debate prior to the NFL season was that whether the New England Patriots could go undefeated in the 2017 campaign. But any talk about that was squashed flat right on kickoff day when the Patriots were handed an upset loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady and the Patriots value perfection. They’re used […]
