"You can do what you want with your corners against New England, but you still have Gronkowski and Hernandez to deal with at the Tight End position," Theismann explained.

Jets Tomlinson: Chance To Redeem Myself In Foxboro
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — LaDainian Tomlinson stared out at the field from behind his dark visor, unable to help his team from his seat on the bench. It was the AFC Championship Game at New England in 2008, and the San Diego Chargers running back’s pride was hurting just as much as his Left Knee. He tried to push through the pain, but lasted just a few plays before heading to the sideline for good while the Chargers lost out on a Super Bowl appearance. “It was the most frustrat...

Click the jump for the foot-fetish video sta...

NEW YORK (AP) — Don’t expect to hear the New England Patriots use an expletive to describe an opponent.

Jets Blog: Jets-Patriots Preview
The Jets (12-5) and Patriots (14-2) split their two Regular Season meetings, but the last game was a no-contest as the Pats routed Gang Green 45-3 on Monday night December 6th. It was a complete domination by New England, but was there one particular reason why the score was so lopsided. One person thinks so. “After really looking at it, I realize that I was out-coached in that game,” said Ryan. “It’s a recognized fact that (Bill) Belichick is a Hall-of-Fame coach and he&...

The Problem With Classy NFL Franchises
I’d like to confess something here to you NBC folks: I hate classy sports teams. Hate them. HATE them.

I can’t stand teams like this, because I know full well they’re just as flawed as any other. And ...
