What a mess. Mike Vrabel with a complete word salad when addressing Drake Maye being placed on the injury report with a shoulder. I have no idea what he said or was trying to say.

Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel was a monster in Super Bowl XXXVIII. 6 Tackles 2 Sacks 1 FF Rec. TD

Here’s the exchange on Drake Maye’s MVP candidacy that led to my spitting the water toward the trash bucket in the studio. I apologize if my colleagues who share that space were disgusted and offended.

Wish this was Jaylen Brown.

It’s the game jersey Zo was wearing when he took down Steve Young lol!

My takeaway of Drake Maye’s performance vs. Seattle.

My takeaway after the Raiders win: Now that Drake Maye has found his game again, it’s time to acknowledge what I’ve been suspecting for a while…..the “L” word is officially in play.

“Literally nobody open in 3 weeks”

Just as I suspected Big O didn’t say one negative word about me in this clip, it was Pete Sheppard who has always been threatened by me. Hey Big O Glenn Ordway put me on your pod with Pete Sheppard. I’ve had it with his random disdain for me. Let us go at it.

I would trade Christian Gonzalez. I do not believe in resetting the market at cornerback in the NFL. I just think it’s so hard to sustain that elite level of play at CB. There are a million examples of this over the years. Trade him now, get picks, don't let it get messy.

I've been asked many times if the Patriots ever told me to "chill" with my questions to Belichick. Never happened once. Bill was always willing to play ball. I have never had more fun as a professional than covering his press conferences.

My thoughts after the Patriots got smoked in Jacksonville and the thing they need to do to save their season.

Still can’t believe the Patriots hit the halftime double score with two touchdowns and didn’t win this Super Bowl.

The Seahawks come into Super Bowl LX with a QB who led the entire NFL in turnovers and a defense that just got shredded. Let’s see how they do against a playoff team they don’t know intimately riding a white hot defense. GTFO if you think this game is some forgone conclusion. 🤣

This was the pinnacle of the Bill Parcells era in New England. In this moment I thought the Patriots were going to win the Super Bowl.

My takeaway on Drake Maye after the Patriots 20-3 win over the Steelers.

The Josh Gordon Patriots mixtape needs to be respected.

In nine Super Bowls during the Brady/Belichick era the Patriots scored a total of THREE points in first quarter. This was the last first quarter TD New England scored in the first quarter of a Super Bowl. Can they get another one a week from Sunday?

You cannot remove superstars in pro basketball and get better. If the Celtics trade Jaylen Brown their championship window is officially closed.

I was wrong. Riding it out with Drake Maye was the play, and he delivered in a big way on Sunday.

The Patriots throttle the Bills in Buffalo in their first matchup against old friend Drew Bledsoe. (2002)

This is the overarching problem with the Tatum/Brown Boston Celtics. Beyond clutch time efficiency and three point volume there's a macro issue that has hurt the legacy of their two cornerstones. If you can handle the honest truth about this team then this is worth your time.
