Cornerback Springs released by Pats

GameSetMatch — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:41:48 +0000

The New England Patriots released cornerback Shawn Springs on Tuesday but haven’t ruled out re-signing him, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

For now, though, the team and 35-year-old player are going their separate ways, the source said.

“I’ll have teams calling me, and they won’t be [bad] teams,” Springs told The Boston Globe. “I’m cool. I would come back to New England. I wish them the best. I’m going to miss those guys.”

Springs told the Globe that he had arthroscopic knee surgery in January, though he stressed that the injury was not the reason why he was released.

“It’s not a knee issue,” he told the newspaper.

Pats, Burgess agree on 1 year

GameSetMatch — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:05:43 +0000

Just as the New England Patriots retained Vince Wilfork, they have done the same with defensive end Derrick Burgess.

The Patriots and Burgess reached agreement on a one-year contract, a league source said Friday morning. The agreement enables New England to continue to stockpile defensive linemen.

Already this offseason, the Patriots have signed Wilfork and Gerard Warren to go along with pass rusher Tully Banta-Cain.

New England and Burgess have had dialogue since before the free-agent signing period started the first week of March.

Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning

GameSetMatch — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:27:50 +0000

Perhaps the greatest quarterback debate of this generation is whether or not Tom Brady is better than Peyton Manning. Although Tom Brady has the rings and the dynasty, Peyton Manning isn’t a huge pussy.

Exhibit A:

Tom Brady Commercial

Not only is saving the earth the least cool thing for a bloodthirsty football player to take part in, look at him. I’m not sure if that’s Tom Brady or Bon Jovi. Not only does he look like a lost European, but his acting skills are on par with Carrot Top. Brady’s only saving grace with this commercial is the giant slab of meat resting on the counter. The only way Brady gets points for this commercial is if that’s fresh WWF panda meat resting on the counter top.

Exhibit B:

Peyton Manning Commercial

Not only is Peyton an exceptional actor, he chooses to do commercials that make him look like the man. While Tom tries to save the earth, Peyton is pillaging it for all of its spoils. Would you rather be saving the Earth from a kitchen remodeled in the 80s, or traveling the world, blowing cash on your MasterCard, driving your Ford and relaxing seaside in a robe?

The jury is out and the evidence is overwhelming. I don’t know who the better quarterback is, but Peyton is definitely the man.

Report: Welker surgery Tuesday

GameSetMatch — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:04:57 +0000

New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker scheduled surgery for next week to repair the knee he blew out in the final regular-season game against the Houston Texans.

A league source told The Boston Globe that Welker will undergo the procedure next Tuesday at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Welker tore both the medial collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee making a cut after catching a pass. The MCL did not need surgery, so he let that heal before having a procedure on the ACL.

“We’re just taking our time right now,” Welker told Jim Traber during a radio interview in Oklahoma City, Welker’s hometown, last week. “That’s one thing — we’ve got a little bit of time right now to wait on that to heal and just kind of get ready and make sure that we exhaust all the options and find out the best one for myself to give me the best chance to get back out there on the field.”

Brady throws four TDs, three to Moss, in dominant win to clinch division

GameSetMatch — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:40:59 +0000

Randy Moss stared at the scoreboard after his third touchdown catch and saw a fan wearing a Randy Moss mask on the screen.

The real Randy — the one who played hard Sunday — stood on the sideline with a huge grin as he made his parting-of-the-defense motion, sweeping his arms from his chest to his sides.

“That was very entertaining,” Moss said after the New England Patriots clinched the AFC East title with a 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. “I had a lot of my teammates wanting me to mess with the guy. So he put a little humor into it and I enjoyed it.”

After his last home game, a 20-10 win over Carolina, several Panthers questioned his effort. So did Patriots fans the following week. But on Sunday they chanted his name, “Randy, Randy, Randy.”

And Moss, who has sold the mask on his Web site , appreciated it.

Patriots’ Bruschi announces retirement after 13 seasons

adam20 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:31:05 +0000

Tedy Bruschi is retiring after a 13-year career marked by an inspiring return to the New England Patriots as a starting linebacker eight months after a stroke.
Bruschi, 36, announced his retirement at a news conference Monday morning. “I’m 36 years old,” Bruschi said at a news conference. “Your body doesn’t heal as quickly.”

Bruschi played on all three Super Bowl-winning Patriots teams. The last championship game was on Feb. 6, 2005, against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ten days later he was hospitalized after experiencing numbness in his left arm and left leg and blurry vision and was diagnosed with a mild stroke.
“I was retired,” he said. “I didn’t think it was possible” to play again.
Bruschi’s performance declined last year and he was playing with the second unit on defense this summer. He missed much of training camp with an undisclosed injury but played in two of the team’s last three exhibition games.

Maroney hopes to stay healthy

GameSetMatch — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:59:43 +0000

Laurence Maroney knows the perception is out there that he's an underachiever who keeps getting hurt. So the Patriots running back seen by some as a wasted first-round pick asked a reporter Tuesday for his own view. The answer: productive when healthy. If only he were healthy more often. Since being taken with the 21st choice of the 2006 draft from Minnesota as a potential long-term fixture in New England's backfield, Maroney has been hit by injuries. He missed two games in 2006 with a rib problem, three in 2007 with a groin injury, and the last 13 in 2008 with a broken bone in his left shoulder. "Everybody wants to say, "hurt this, and hurt that, fragile this,' " he said. "People are going to say what they want to say. So all I can do is go out and play." That's what he has done for all 28 practices of a grueling training camp that ended officially with Tuesday afternoon's 19th session in pads as coach Bill Belichick prepared the Patriots for Thursday night's home exhibition game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
