Responsible journalists usually handle these types of stories with caution, as you don’t want to rush to print a story about someone being dead when they aren’t. But, OTR wants no part of responsible journalism, so we’ll pass along what TMZ is reporting. According to TMZ, former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots LB [...]
Brandon Lloyd has said all offseason that he wants to play with Josh McDaniels. He had most of his success playing in McDaniels system, which started back with the Denver Broncos. McDaniels is now the offensive coordinator with New England Patriots, a position that he held several years ago. And Lloyd made no bones about [...]
The Baltimore Ravens lost the AFC Championship game on Sunday in heartbreaking fashion to the New England Patriots. Down by just three points, Lee Evans dropped a game-winning TD pass and then kicker Billy Cundiff blew a 32-yard field goal. So, one could imagine that guys like Terrell Suggs might not be in the best [...]
I know, I know. You’re sick of hearing about Tim f’ing Tebow. So are we. But, this isn’t about him loving Jesus or not supporting gay people. It’s actually about his toughness. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tebow was seriously banged up last week in the Denver Broncos loss to the New England Patriots. An [...]
The Denver Broncos came out strong on Sunday against the New England Patriots and even had a lead for a little bit. It didn’t last all that long, however, as Tom Brady decided to show Tim Tebow how real quarterbacks play. A bigger concern for the Broncos was that Willis McGahee pulled up lame with [...]
Have you seen this yet? Yep, this is what the 2011 season has come down to for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even little kids know they blow. Thanks to Anthony for passing this along. This little kid is balling over the thrashing that the New England Patriots gave to his Eagles last Sunday. We think there [...]
After watching Monday night’s ground gashing by the Chicago Bears, one would think that the Philadelphia Eagles would jump at the chance to add one of the best defensive tackles in the last decade. Sure enough, one came loose yesterday when the New England Patriots released Albert Haynesworth. But, Haynesworth was cut for a reason, [...]
File this under “somewhat shocking.” The New England Patriots win a lot of games because of their offense. Their defensive is just horrific, so one would assume that they can’t afford to be losing players. But, after cutting Leigh Bodden a week ago, they have let go of another veteran player. Albert Haynesworth. “BREAKING: The [...]
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman was always referred to as another Wes Welker, but who wasn’t nearly as good as Wes Welker. For one thing, as far as we know, Welker doesn’t grope women in clubs who don’t want to be groped. According to police reports, Edelman does. Edelman was arrested last night on [...]
To say that the New England Patriots’ Chad Ochocinco experiment hasn’t worked out is an understatement. I guess you could at least say that while he hasn’t done anything on the field, at least he hasn’t destroyed the locker room. According to the Boston Globe, Chad still needs to be told where to line up [...]
There weren’t many shocks on Saturday’s cutdown day for the NFL. Ok, maybe Tommie Harris getting let go wasn’t exactly expected. But, there wasn’t anything crazy. However, the New England Patriots cutting Brandon Meriweather certainly caused us to raise an eyebrow. Meriweather made another Pro Bowl last season, but it was obvious the Patriots were [...]
After weighing the offers and his options, Randy Moss has decided to retire. He was most likely getting low-ball, prove-it, one-year contract offers and he opted not to go all T.O. on it. His agent, Joel Segal, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that that was the case. ”After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he’s decided [...]
The New England Patriots aren’t afraid to make trades. That much we know. Earlier, they picked up Albert Haynesworth in a low-risk trade with the Washington Redskins. Apparently, they weren’t done gathering problem children. They sent a couple of late-round picks to the Principle Champion Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for loquacious WR Chad Ochocinco. Ocho [...]
Kyle Eckel is currently a fullback for the Denver Broncos. He was an undrafted rookie free agent who signed with the New England Patriots coming out of Navy. He later played with the Eagles in 2009 and also played with the Dolphins. He was born and raised in Philly and like most Philly sports fans, [...]
Last week, an attorney in Florida claimed that New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather pulled the trigger of a gun at a party. The problem? It grazed one person and hit another in the head. That’s no good. But then, a member or two of Meriweather’s family (why would they lie?) said that while Meriweather [...]
In a Chicago Bears position analysis, the Chicago Tribune passes along an interesting nugget regarding tight end Greg Olsen. There initially was a lot of concern about Olsen when they brought in Mike Martz as the offensive coordinator. Martz likes his tight ends to block, and doesn’t feature them in his schemes. Olsen doesn’t block [...]
During his career, former Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots WR Terry Glenn was no stranger to injuries. Now, after his career is over, he seems to be no stranger to getting arrested. Glenn was arrested recently for driving under the influence and was also hit with two counts of marijuana possession. [...]
There were rumors from a local Boston radio station earlier this week that New England Patriots quarterback (wait for iiiiiiiiit) Tom Brady had a busted foot. That was supposedly part of the reason for his struggles. But, since there weren’t any beat writers saying anything about it, most were skeptical. But, now the Boston Globe [...]
I should preface this with the fact that I don’t really hate the New England Patriots. Yes, it’s annoying that their fans can be so mouthy and they act like they are still sports victims when it comes to championships. The Celtics just won it all a couple years ago. The Red Sox won in [...]
Any time someone dies, it’s a bad thing. Well….in general. If I could slice the throat of Osama bin Laden, I think that would be okay with most people. But, you know what I mean. I just struggle to see the death of 46-year old New York Jets fan Raymond Larsen as a real tragedy. [...]
You can say whatever you want about the New York Jets, but they aren’t boring. Rex Ryan made a reference to Tom Brady’s finger pointing after touchdowns (he likes to point to the other team’s sideline. At least the Jets anyway) earlier this week saying it was just “Brady being Brady.” Well, cornerback Antonio Cromartie [...]
This is a brilliant stunt. Reebok teamed up with Modell’s and had New England Patriots diminutive sensation Danny Woodhead go hang out in Modell’s for an hour or so. They dressed him up like a regular employee with a nametag that said “Dan.” Because, that’s his name. His mission? To sell Danny Woodhead jerseys. It’s [...]
This isn’t good for the New England Patriots. As it is, their defense isn’t very good and they can’t afford to lose any players. But, it looks like they will. According to Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, linebacker Brandon Spikes has been suspended four games for use of performance-enhancing drugs. “Patriots LB Brandon Spikes [...]
Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs had a conference call with Pittsburgh reports recently and he had some great quotes. We want to hang out with this guy. T-Sizzle said that the NFL favors the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, while not caring too much about anyone else. “The league has their favorites,” Suggs [...]
The Indianapolis Colts have shocked the fantasy football world by downgrading to of their running backs to “out” on Sunday. That’s right, Joseph Addai and Mike Hart (not Mike Hunt) will not play against the New England Patriots. They also announced that LB Clint Session (elbow), Gary Brackett (toe) and DB Justin Tryon (foot) are [...]
