A place for chicks who love football and the guys who love chicks who love football.
Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi wasn't just at the Boston Marathon when a pair of bombs went off near the finish line. He saw the bombs and felt them. Bruschi was there with members of his family cheering on a team of runners he had organized. Here's how he described what happened. Tedy Bruschi on marathon explosions … [Read more...]
Every time Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola drops a pass this year, I'll be cheering. Not because I'm a hater but because Amendola has pledged to donate $200 for every dropped pass to a Boston Marathon Relief Fund. But you don't just have to root against Amendola. For every pass he catches, he'll donate $100 to the fund. It's enough to make even a Jets fan cheer on a Patriots player catching the rock from Tom Brady. Amendola's heartfelt gesture is one of the many ways the sports world is reaching out to those affected by the senseless tragedy in Boston. Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Ben Revere had the message "Pray for Boston" on his glove at last night's game. And check out … [Read more...]
We're now about 24 hours away from the start of NFL Free Agency's open market, which means we can finally start freaking out about who may be going where (unlike NFL Network and ESPN, who have been freaking out for weeks.) Who could blame us for waiting until the last minute? It's not exactly like last off-season, when we had the "Peyton Manning Sweepstakes" to entertain us. This time around, it's second tier stars like Ahmad Bradshaw and Greg Jennings. They're not exactly Prom Kings but you'd still be excited if they asked you to the big dance. Here's our breakdown of some of the biggest Free Agency story lines so far. Tony Gonzales, Falcons TE: Expected to stay with the team for … [Read more...]
There were plenty of big story lines this week. SportsCenter will play all of them on repeat for the next 72 hours. But if you want to get the scoop and avoid seeing the "Discount Double Check" commercial 63 times (and not the good one with B.J. Raji), allow us to break down the highlights and low-lights of week 5, in a way that only the Chicks can. Let's Hit it and Quit it, people! Hit It Even with a losing record, Drew Brees is still breaking records. How fitting that he broke the original "#19" Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a touchdown to the Saints' #19, Devery Henderson. Quit It The Patriots/Broncos game almost lived up to all the hype. That is until Willis … [Read more...]
Patriots: 52 Bills: 28. That was Week 4. And that massacre/bloodbath/travesty happened at home?! There are really no words. The offense put up a good fight but the hustle that's there when they get a solid running game going was absent. I honestly think Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller were just active for show...which is fine, because I'd rather they not get MORE hurt...but it just gave me false hope. It's like night and day when there's a strong run and air game. Something clearly happened to the defense. It legit shut down. The Patriots outscored the Bills 31 to 7 in the fourth quarter. I don't know what's worse, a blowout from the get go or watching that coveted win slip further … [Read more...]
