Without Adam Vinateri, the New England Patriots wouldn’t have won three Super Bowl titles. Without Tom Brady , Adam Vinatieri wouldn’t have been in a position to give the Patriots those titles. Without Bill Belichick, Tom Brady’s quarterbacking wouldn’t have set-up Adam Vinateri to hit the kicks to win those titles. And without Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick wouldn’t have been in New England to help both Brady and Vinateiri win those titles. And without Michael Jackson (yes, that Michael Jackson), Bob Kraft wouldn’t have bought the New England Patriots and the dynasty that was may never have been. Read the rest of this entry →

Former Washington Redskins return man Brian Mitchell says his recent firing by a radio station owned by the team is not due to economic factors but for critical comments made about the team and its performance.
Mitchell told USA TODAY’s Michael McCarthy that Red Zebra radio cut him as an analyst because he was critical of the Redskins. Station executive Bruce Gilbert said the move was "100% driven by the economy."
Mitchell made $150,000 per year.
"If you never discuss any money, or any changes in my money with me, then you already have your minds made up. This didn’t have a damn thing to do with the economy," Mitchell told McCarthy.
The New York Giants announced on Wednesday that linebacker Michael Boley will be out of action for eight-to-ten weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip, Profootballtalk.com reported.
The arthroscopic procedure was conducted Wednesday, by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the New York Hospital for Special Surgery.
Boley, a weakside linebacker, joined the Giants earlier this year as a free agent after spending four seasons with the Falcons. Last season, three different players started at weakside linebacker for the Giants: Gerris Wilkinson , Bryan Kehl , and Chase Blackburn .
Entering his 14th NFL season, New England Patriots lineback Tedy Bruschi admits it could be his final professional season. He also admits it may not be his swansong, according to the Boston Globe.
Bruschi, whose contract expires after the 2009 season, is leaving his options open.
"I have to give them everything I have this year and only think about what’s next. I’m going to prepare myself for this season, only think about this season, and when the season is over, which is a long ways away, then you think about delving into those decisions.”
Bruschi, who turned 36 June 9, is coming off a 2008 season in which coaches credited him with 71 tackles, fourth on the team. He started 12 games before a knee injury ended his season Dec. 7 against the Seahawks. Throughout the year, Bruschi was mostly utilized on first and second down, coming off the field on third down, according to the Globe.

After making a career of shoving his own quarterbacks into the woodchipper, I sort of hoped that eventually, someone would do the same to Terrell Owens . What I didn’t figure was that it would be model Joanna Krupa.
ABC’s got this new show called "The Superstars" where a celebrity pairs up with an athlete in a series of athletic competitions. The winner gets … I don’t know, to be on television more, I guess. Last night was the first episode, and Terrell Owens and Joanna Krupa, probably the favorites, were the first couple eliminated. Read the rest of this entry →
The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it’s showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it’s been put to some real use: playing video games. Thankfully, Jonas Brothers video director Steve Fatone somehow pulled himself away from concert preparations to do just that earlier this week, and apparently became the first person to ever play Xbox 360 on the display in the process. As you can see above and in the gallery below, the two certainly seem to be made for each other, although it looks like the controller can get a tad touchy if you stray too far while trying to play it.

If the sources of the Boston Herald’s Inside Track are correct, Gisele Bundchen’s womb currently houses what might be the next great NFL quarterback prospect, just as soon as we figure out its gender.
The Herald hears from "a source close to the new Mrs. Tom Brady " that Brady and Bunchen are expecting a child in December . Read the rest of this entry →
Word on the street is that the UFL’s Vegas franchise (they don’t have a nickname/mascot yet; I’d like to suggest the Galifianakises ) is close to agreeing on a contract with former Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman . Read the rest of this entry →
The Dallas Cowboys plan on moving DeMarcus Ware around more than in previous seasons, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Ware has primarily chased quarterbacks from the blind side. However, he will get the chance to play on the left sometimes in Dallas’ base defense. According to the Morning News, he figures it’ll allow him to get more involved in the running game. Read the rest of this entry →
