Why Stephen A. Smith Believes Patriots Made Mistake With Tom Brady’s Trainer

Why Stephen A. Smith Believes Patriots Made Mistake With Tom Brady’s Trainer

There’s seemingly a rift between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady’s personal trainer/business partner Alex Guerrero. According to The Boston Globe’s Bob Hohler, several people familiar with the Patriots’ internal operations have indicated that Belichick banned Guerrero from the team plane and sideline. So, what exactly should we make of this? Well, perhaps it’s a minor issue, especially if Brady and the Patriots continue to play well as they seek their sixth Super Bowl title. But Stephen A. Smith can’t help but wonder whether the organization is making a big mistake, which he explained Wednesday on ... NESN.com

Patriots Mailbag: Why Versatility Is Required Out Of Derek Rivers

Share this: The 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone, and the New England Patriots added over 20 rookies to their squad. Unsurprisingly, Patriot Nation has many questions about its new players. Let’s dive into this week’s mailbag for the answers. Doug! Super-excited about the Pats draft and their off-season in general. I know the draft feedback says 1st round pick Derek Rivers is more of a DE/OLB EDGE player, but after watching video of him at the combine, looks like he moves really well. Can he possibly fill Jaime Collins old role as an inside/outside linebacker? — Steve (Boston)Steve! Thanks for the email (feel free to send questions to dkyed@nesn.com if you don’t have Twitter). I assume Rivers mostly will play defensive end

Houston Police Hunt For Tom Brady’s Missing Super Bowl LI Jersey Heats Up

Tom Brady’s Super Bowl LI jersey might soon join the likes of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and the Abominable Snowman as thing’s that are searched for but never found. That’s right, the Super Bowl MVP’s game-worn jersey still hasn’t been located and the Houston Police don’t have the foggiest idea of where to begin. Houston Police made a statement Tuesday where they said they are looking at every single person who had access to the Patriots’ locker room after Super Bowl LI, and they asked for help from the media members that were present after the game.

Kevin Faulk Reveals Tom Brady’s Prankster Side In Hilarious Anecdote

Kevin Faulk Reveals Tom Brady’s Prankster Side In Hilarious Anecdote

When’s the last time you’ve seen Tom Brady goof off? It’s a rare occasion, especially on the gridiron, where the New England Patriots quarterback is one of the NFL’s fiercest competitors. But what if we told you Brady not only has a funny side, but actually is a ruthless prankster behind closed doors? Thanks to Kevin Faulk, we now have evidence of the latter. The former Patriots running back published a piece Friday for The Players’ Tribune giving fans insight into New England’s much-ballyhooed “Patriot Way.” But the best part of Faulk’s article was his tale of Brady’s prank war with backup quarterback Matt Cassel, and how TB12 too...

Martellus Bennett, Patriots Expect Success ‘Because We Work (Expletive) Hard’

by Zack Cox on Mon, Nov 28, 2016 at 8:30AM 2,411 Share this: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Martellus Bennett might be the best wordsmith in the New England Patriots’ locker room. He’s certainly the most entertaining quote, making his stall a must-visit after any Patriots game. After New England rallied to knock off the New York Jets 22-17 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, Bennett was asked whether the Patriots’ offense remained optimistic during a less-than-stellar first half featuring three punts, one missed field goal and just 10 points scored. “That’s the only way to look at it — you just expect to move the ball,” the Patriots tight end said. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, let’s hope.’ We don’t hope to move the ball. We expect to move the

Tom Brady’s Return Should Curb Patriots Fans’ Panic After Bills Shutout

Tom Brady’s Return Should Curb Patriots Fans’ Panic After Bills Shutout

FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady’s impending return couldn’t come at a better time. New England Patriots fans are beginning to panic after their team was shut out at home for the first time in almost 23 years. And worse yet, the embarrassing 16-0 blowout came at the hands of Rex Ryan’s Buffalo Bills. So, get ready for a week-long victory lap from Ryan and his players. But Brady is allowed to return to the facility in under seven hours as his four-game suspension is up at midnight Monday morning, and he already was spotted working out in Brookline to get in some last-minute reps before he can go back to Gillette Stadium for good.

Broncos’ Derek Wolfe Clarifies Story About Saying He’d Eat Tom Brady’s Kids

Broncos’ Derek Wolfe Clarifies Story About Saying He’d Eat Tom Brady’s Kids

Tom Brady’s children are safe. Denver Broncos safety T.J. Ward relayed a story back in March about teammate Derek Wolfe telling an opposing player he’d eat his kids. At the time, Ward thought Brady had been the subject of Wolfe’s Mike Tyson-esque threat. But it turns out Ward actually mixed up the New England Patriots quarterback with another Pro Bowl signal caller. “OK, so there is a story behind that,” Wolfe explained on a recent episode of Barstool Sports’ “The Life.” “That was not directed at Tom Brady. That was actually a whole different team. It was the Chargers. It was Philip Rivers. “We were going back and forth the wh... NESN.com
