Share this: Kony Ealy has been with the New England Patriots for less than a week, but he seems to be picking up the team’s cliche terminology quickly. Ealy used some form of the phrase “doing my job” five times during his introductory conference call with the New England media. Here are some sample quotes from Ealy, who was acquired for a swap of day two picks from the Carolina Panthers. “I just look forward to just coming in, working hard, just doing my job and trying to help contribute. That’s all.” “Really, I just want to concentrate on doing my job and making the most of it.” “Everything else will take care of itself if I go out there and do what I’m supposed to

Brandon Marshall Praises Patriots’ WRs, ‘Third Man Crush’ Julian Edelman
Share this: When it comes to wide receivers in Sunday’s Super Bowl LI, most of the attention is on the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones, and rightfully so. But the New England Patriots also have an impressive wide receiving corps. Just ask New York Jets wideout Brandon Marshall. During an appearance on FOX Sports 1’s “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Thursday, Marshall had some pretty high praise for the wide receivers from the Jets’ archrival. “I love their receivers,” Marshall told Cowherd, as transcribed by FOXSports.com. “I love Edelman. He’s my third man crush. He is Steve Smith. That’s who he is. But like Deion (Sanders) said yesterday, it’s like reverse racism. Because he’s white, he doesn’t get the love he deserves. We all come
Dont’a Hightower Mum On Patriots D’s Lack Of Playmakers: ‘That’s Out Of My Pay Grade’
The New England Patriots’ defense has been huge weakness for the team this season, but the players are leaving that topic up to coach Bill Belichick. New England traded linebacker Chandler Jones this offseason, traded linebacker Jamie Collins during their Week 9 bye and made defensive end Jabaal Sheard inactive before Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers without any explanation. Dont’a Hightower joined “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” on Monday and was asked if he was “comfortable” with the Patriots’ lack of playmakers on defense, but the defensive captain didn’t offer much insight. “Whether I am comfortable or not, that’...

Deadspin Writer Implores Chicago Not To Become Like Boston After Cubs’ Win
Share this: Boston sports fans, we need to talk. Many people outside of New England aren’t exactly big fans of your teams, and it’s probably best to accept it and relish the fact that they want to see you lose on the big stage, although you usually get the last laugh since you have nine titles since 2001. Now that we’ve settled that, it should be easier to understand why a certain column was posted on Deadspin on Friday. The Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year championship drought by winning the World Series thanks to a thrilling victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, and Boston fans know exactly how they feel since the Red Sox busted their own 86-year dry spell by winning the 2004 World Series. So, what
Chip Kelly, Eagles Don’t Love Sam Bradford, But That’s OK In Today’s NFL
Sam Bradford is not the quarterback of Chip Kelly’s dreams. Neither, apparently, was Nick Foles, who the Eagles traded to acquire Bradford this offseason. But according to FootballbyFootball.com‘s Matt Chatham, that could actually be a good thing. The way Chatham explains it, most players in the NFL are not the ideal player their team would live to have at that position. Accepting that fact just gives you an empowering advantage. “Contracts give players a sense of security and ‘belonging’ to an organization,” Chatham explains. “But there’s a reason contract terms don’t extend into eternity. When there’s a better opti...
