Who remembers the last week of the 2009 season? In a matchup against the Texans in Houston, Wes Welker tore his MCL and ACL on a non-contact play, missing the playoffs that season. That’s the kind of injury the Patriots will have to consider going into a Week 17 game against the Dolphins. Though New England is assured of a playoff spot, they could still earn a Round 1 bye or a No. 1 seed, so there’s still a lot to play for. But that being said, there’s always the threat of injury with the playoffs in the bag. Whether the Pats will rest anyone on Sunday was just one of several subjects touched on by Matt Chatham, Kevin Faulk and Dale

Tony Allen Throws Ball Off the Backboard for Trailing Gerald Green, Who Jams With One Hand in 2006 (Video)
by Nick Koop on Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 8:25AM Editor's note: The 2011-12 NBA season was supposed to tip off Nov. 1. With no games to watch, NESN.com will help fill the void by posting a dunk video every day until the lockout ends. Gerald Green currently plays in the Chinese Basketball Association and has not played in an NBA game since 2009. However, Celtic fans will remember Green for his high-flying dunks in his two years in Boston. While Green is most known for his "Cupcake Dunk" in the 2008 Slam Dunk Contest, he had some memorable dunks with the Celtics too. In a March 2006 game against the Raptors, Tony Allen leads a fastbreak with no Toronto defenders in
Shaquille O’Neal Breaks Backboard After Monster Put-Back Dunk (Video)
Editor's note: The 2011-12 NBA season was supposed to tip off Nov. 1. With no games to watch, NESN.com will help fill the void by posting a dunk video every day until the lockout ends. Shaquille O'Neal picked the right time to walk away from the game. The Diesel announced his retirement at the end of last season, ending a 20-year career filled with tons of accolades and four NBA championship rings. With the league in a lockout, he wouldn't have been playing much anyway. Shaq started his career in Orlando with the Magic and quickly turned the team into a contender. Always one of the biggest players in the game, he was an immovable object in the paint. During a game in Phoenix
Did Dan Shaughnessy Jinx Red Sox Season With Comments on NESN During Rain Delay of Game 162? (Video)
On Thursday, Boston Globe sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy declared this Red Sox season "the greatest choke in baseball history." On Wednesday night, however, he had a very different outlook on how the year would play out."The one thing we have eliminated tonight is that the Red Sox season is not going to end," declared Shaughnessy during NESN's broadcast of the rain delay in the final game of the Red Sox season. "They live to play another day." It seemed like a safe assumption at the time that the Tampa Bay Rays would lose and at the very least, the Red Sox would have a chance at a one-game play-in game on Thursday. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Shaughnessy was wrong. "The Rays aren't
Josh Reddick Gets Blockbuster Treatment in ‘Chronicles of Reddick’ Video From Red Sox Productions
It has been a stellar 2011 season for Josh Reddick, who has taken Red Sox Nation by storm with his contributions in place of the injured J.D. Drew. The right fielder is hitting .338 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 46 games for Boston this season. On Sunday night he proved he can come through in the clutch, ripping a single down the left field line that allowed the Sox to take a 3-2 win in extra innings over the Yankees. The 24-year-old has quickly become a fan favorite in Boston, popular enough to earn his own blockbuster film -- sort of. Red Sox Productions released a trailer for the The Chronicles of Reddick, a parody of the 2004 science
Kobe Bryant Attempts Penalty Kick During Halftime of Manchester United, FC Barcelona Exhibition Match (Video)
While many NBA players are lining up to jet across the Atlantic to play in leagues across Europe and China, Kobe Bryant seems content to just sit back and show off his athleticism. The perennial All-Star was reportedly going to have representatives talk to the Turkish club Besiktas on Saturday, but according to ESPN, during a news conference on Sunday, Bryant said, "I haven't spoken to Beskitas in weeks." And according to a source in an NBA.com report, there is a "zero percent" chance that Bryant will play alongside New Jersey Nets guard and Besiktas signee Deron Williams with the Turkish club. Bryant instead seems to be turning his attention to soccer. OK, so not really. But during halftime of an exhibition match in
