Share this: Love ’em or hate ’em, ESPN really knows how to get the most out of a story. New England Patriots fans have spent the last two years lambasting the Worldwide Leader in Sports for its coverage of the “Deflategate” saga. Patriots fans not only blame ESPN for (incorrectly) giving the story legs but also for prolonging the story with either sketchy reporting (alternative facts, at best?) or loud opinions. So Patriots fans likely will get a kick out of the upcoming cover of ESPN the Magazine’s Super Bowl LI preview which features Brady with the headline “Brady’s Revenge.” One would assume the “revenge” is in reference to Brady and the Patriots looking for retribution on the NFL and especially Roger Goodell for

Celtics Star Isaiah Thomas Calls Patriots ‘The Team You Want To Be’
Share this: The New England Patriots reached their ninth Super Bowl in franchise history after their 36-17 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Those nine Super Bowl appearances are an NFL record, and the Patriots’ greatness has other Boston sports franchises pulling for them to capture their fifth Lombardi Trophy, especially the Boston Celtics. Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas, who is a Seattle Seahawks fan and Tacoma, Wash. native, has split his fan hood between the Seahawks and Patriots since he met quarterback Tom Brady last summer while the two were recruiting then-free agent Kevin Durant to join the C’s. The two Boston sports stars now “frequently exchange text messages” and the C’s point guard told the media on Monday that the Patriots set
Patriots Notes: How Goal-Line Defense Helped Turn Tide In AFC Title Game
by Zack Cox on Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 2:11AM 2,003 FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady and Chris Hogan both had fantastically productive performances in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. But two of the most important sequences in the New England Patriots’ rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers came on the defensive side of the ball. The Patriots’ defense mounted two successful goal-line stands, keeping the Steelers out of the end zone on seven plays from inside the 5-yard line. Pittsburgh managed just thre... NESN.com
How Chris Hogan Gained Tom Brady’s Trust In First Season With Patriots
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — If Chris Hogan had signed anywhere else this offseason, the acquisition would have been met with relative indifference. But because Bill Belichick saw something in the unheralded receiver, the restricted free-agent acquisition became intriguing. So far, Hogan’s time with the Patriots has been a success. He had a career year, catching 38 passes for 680 yards with four touchdowns and led the NFL with 17.9 yards per reception. He was one of quarterback Tom Brady’s go-to receivers Saturday night in the Patriots’ 34-16 divisional-round win over the Houston Texans when he caught four passes on four targets for 95 yards before leaving the game with a thigh injury. Gaining trust in Brady is key for a Patriots receiver. “Tom’s extremely approachable,” Hogan
Colin Cowherd Delivers Mind-Boggling Tom Brady Take Before AFC Title Game
When you hear what Colin Cowherd said about Tom Brady on Tuesday, you’ll forget what New York Daily News NFL columnist Manish Mehta wrote about the New England Patriots quarterback.

Welp. Our eyes, they burn from ... NESN.com

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...
