Dear Gronk, Rob, if I may What the heck, man? Sad doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt when you retired. You were my sister’s favorite player and the ability you had to get down the field for Tom Brady was unmatched by any offense in the league. To cite a few outstanding plays:

The day was going to come eventually. Tom Brady was either going to retire, or he would tire of taking pay cuts and play for market value for another club. The latter happened March 17, as Tom Brady announced he would not return to New England, agreeing to a deal in principle with the Tampa

Dear Tom Brady, What the heck, man? I’m hurt. Truly, I’m hurt. I know there are diehard fans, who know more of your stats or who can rattle off every great pass you’ve ever thrown or who can date every heartwrencher out of which you’ve pulled the entire fanbase. But Tom let me ask you

Reports this week have emerged confirming that quarterback Tom Brady will enter free agency on March 18. This will be the first time in Brady’s 20-year tenure with the Patriots that he has been a free agent.

On paper the Patriots look so good. Up until Sunday, they were 10-1 with arguably the best defense in the league and good enough offense to hold their own. Before Sunday, being a Pats fan took little to no effort. And then they went down to Houston. Now I know what you’re thinking — “Wasn’t

I’ve said multiple times now in my stories that I am a proud native of Lexington, Kentucky. If you ask me, my hometown is the best place on earth. However, the one thing it — and the State of Kentucky — are lacking is a professional sports team. Because of this, I’m pretty much, by

The name Antonio Brown comes with a lot of baggage. First, his requested departure from Pittsburgh due to an authority issue between him and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Then, his removal from the Oakland Raiders after a helmet grievance debacle and other childish complaints. Now, he’s been accused of sexual assault and misconduct, less than a week

On February 3, 2002, a 24-year old quarterback returned from a knee injury for the most important game in football. Staring down a tie game in which his team had been vastly outgained in yards, the young quarterback drove his team the length of the field, and the kicker did the rest. Tom Brady became

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft made national headlines over the weekend as police in Jupiter, Florida, linked him to a prostitution sting at a spa holding trafficked Chinese women. Prosecutors additionally claim to have video evidence of Kraft at the scene. If the accusations turn out to be true, this would perhaps leave another

After the most painful-to-watch Super Bowl in recent memory, I figured the time was once again ripe to point out my favorite obvious fact: Criticisms of women’s basketball are nothing more than sexist excuses not to watch women succeed at a sport. The number of people (let’s be honest, predominantly men) who say women’s basketball
