For over 24 seasons, Adam Vinatieri did nothing in the NFL but put points on the board, many of which were scored during his time with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Vinatieri, who recently just made it official that he’s walking away from the game of football as a player for good, was […]

Donald Trump allegedly tried to bribe late United States Senator Arlen Specter in an attempt to squash his inquiry into the New England Patriots’ Spygate scandal, according to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham.

Devoid of proven offensive weapons, the New England Patriots profile as a great landing spot for Julio Jones, the unhappy Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver. Reports surfaced during Monday morning’s episode of Undisputed after he was called on-air by Shannon Sharpe about his ongoing situation, public confirmation that added even more fuel to all of […]

With Julio Jones reportedly on the trade market, some speculated that the New England Patriots would be a team wanting to bring him into the fold. Apparently, however, the case of this being true isn’t super strong. In a report from Mike Giardi of NFL Media, it is claimed that the Patriots had internal discussions […]

The New England Patriots selected Alabama quarterback Mac Jones at number 15 overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. In a somewhat unprecedented move for head coach Bill Belichick – who had never drafted a quarterback in the first round – the expectations for Jones should be lofty heading into his rookie […]

Retired New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is not coming out of retirement, no matter how hard Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski bait him. Edelman’s former Patriots teammates have routinely joked about Edelman going back on his retirement plans to join them in Tampa Bay. However, the beloved wideout told Hall of Famer Michael […]

Former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon had some very choice words for New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on Wednesday afternoon.

The New England Patriots re-signed Cam Newton and selected Mac Jones in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but that isn’t stopping them from making more moves at the quarterback position. The Patriots are bringing back veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. In addition to Newton […]

Even with Tom Brady now suiting up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft still loves himself some TB12. How do I know this? Tickle me glad you asked. It’s since the Patriots owner recently went on record stating as much. “Excited to have him,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft told TMZ.com […]

It was only common sense that Tom Brady’s return to New England to face the Patriots as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would bring about some truly staggering ticket prices. With the game officially announced for Oct. 3 and tickets now on sale, the numbers are coming in … and they are ridiculous. […]

The new NFL season is officially drawing nearer. The league released the full schedule of games on Wednesday and it certainly got fans excited.

Although the New England Patriots are no longer the NFL contender they used to be with Tom Brady, they have a ton of young talent. After a great offseason including many free agency signings and a well rounded draft, the Patriots are set up for success. In free agency the Patriots bolstered the offensive weapons […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, and general legend, Tom Brady might need to reevaluate how he thinks friendship works. After finding out he’d be returning to play the New England Patriots in Week 4 of the upcoming National Football League season, TB12 relied upon a joke that’s so full of tropes and holes, one so outdated, […]

When the NFL schedule was released on Wednesday, most thought the headliner to be discussed would be the season opener between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and New England Patriots legend Tom Brady is often the subject of debate as he continues to solidify his GOAT status.

Upon the release of the NFL Schedule on Wednesday, it was revealed early in the morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would start their title defense and kickoff the 2021 NFL season against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 9.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick – they became the football version of Darth Vader and The Emperor. Together, they built a powerful empire with the New England Patriots that ruled over the NFL for 20 years. And they seemed destined to rule it forever. The duo made nine Super Bowls and won six rings together. […]

The 2021 NFL schedule has been released … sort of. Actually, the schedule has been leaked for many teams, including the full slate for the New England Patriots. After a mediocre and disappointing 7-9 campaign, the Patriots are aiming to return to the playoffs in 2021. With the leaks circling the Twittersphere, the Patriots’ 2021 […]

Operating in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform, Tom Brady will return to New England to face the Patriots in Week 4 of the upcoming National Football League season. On the surface, it’s yet another legend returning back to his old stomping grounds to play a game of violence on blades of grass. On the other […]

Between injuries and a car accident involving his mother, New England Patriots veteran James White is more than willing to look forward to next season. And, I mean, who could blame him. White was technically a free agent in the offseason, though it always felt inevitable he’d end up back with the Patriots. Nevertheless, the […]

After his shocking exit from the New England Patriots, six-time Super Bowl champion (and arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history) Tom Brady is looking to extend his already illustrious career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s already become a Tampa Bay legend in just a year with the team, leading the Bucs to a […]

The New England Patriots are known for winning and doing so by developing talent from seemingly every possible avenue.

With […]

Former New England Patriots receiver is releasing a new documentary entitled Undrafted, which will detail his transition from the NFL to professional lacrosse.

The New England Patriots have enjoyed immense success over the past 20 years, thanks in large part to head coach Bill Belichick.

Tim Tebow was one of the most prolific college quarterbacks in history, but his skills didn’t translate well to the NFL.

Veteran cornerback Jason McCourty is heading to the Miami Dolphins. McCourty will have a reunion with head coach Brian Flores after they spent time together with the New England Patriots.

The New England Patriots are hoping that they have found a replacement with a long term answer at quarterback for Tom Brady after his departure over a year ago.

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots had a very successful draft. After spending a ton of money in free agency and nailing the draft the Patriots are ready to compete again.

The dust has settled following the 2021 NFL Draft, with all 32 teams attempting to make substantive additions to their rosters.

The New England Patriots entered the draft in unchartered territory, as their selections were higher than usual.

Alabama quarterback Mac Jones headlines New England’s ’21 draft class, which included four offensive players and four defensive players. Let’s take a pick-by-pick look at each of the Patriots’ selections. Round 1, No. 15 overall: Mac Jones, QB, Alabama The Patriots did not […]

The NFL Draft is an incredibly busy time for front offices. It is difficult enough to keep track of the board and see, which prospects are remaining, but teams also make trades to better their position. In general, trading down provides more value to a franchise, since they are acquiring more assets. The risk of […]

The New England Patriots’ need for a quarterback was never more pressing than it was in the 2020 season. After Tom Brady departed Foxborough after an incredible run to head to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Patriots got Cam Newton. Unfortunately, that experiment didn’t work out well. Thankfully, the Patriots were able to sit back […]

Over two years ago, Mac Jones tweeted a side-by-side picture of his shirtless self next to the infamous shirtless combine photo of Tom Brady.

As the adage goes, “good things come to those who wait.” These words are very applicable to the New England Patriots in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft.

Despite the fact that the heralded Alabama Crimson Tide continue to be by far the best program in all of college football, it is rare that the SEC powerhouse has a highly-touted quarterback leading up to the NFL Draft. However, this year was certainly different as the New England Patriots have officially selected former Alabama […]

A reunion looks unlikely now. There have been rumors all off-season about quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo going back to the New England Patriots but it seems unlikely now.
