Updated at 2:43pmPT with comments from Charissa Thompson. Today’s episode of ESPN’s First Take tackled the issue of the New England Patriots’ post-game party. While Skip Bayless didn’t find much fault with the players dancing (possibly intoxicated) at a previously planed event, Rob Parker was most concerned about the fact that there didn’t seem to [...]
Rob Gronkowski has huge…hands
I woke up this morning to an…inspiring piece in the New York Times about the size of New England tight end Rob Gronkowski’s…hands. Each hand measures 10 3/4 inches from pinky to thumb. That is a quarter-inch shorter than a football. Tell me the writer wasn’t thinking about more than his hands… Everything about Gronkowski seems [...]
Real Housewives of South Boston’s Super Bowl message; Peyton leaves Brady a voicemail
As a ‘Real Housewives’ fan who grew up in Massachusetts, I am in love with the Real Housewives of South Boston. And they don’t hold back with their Super Bowl message.

Patriots and Giants are two of NFL’s gay-friendly teams
It’s tough to conjur up two NFL teams that are more gay-friendly than the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. As Corey Johnson tweeted, I was thrilled to see two teams with a growing support for gay equality represent the NFL in the Super Bowl. For one, both Massachusetts and New York have [...]
NFL divisional playoff picks: One underdog will win
I had a friend in town last weekend, so for the first time ever I did not watch any playoff games live. Hence, there was no recap. Outside of the Broncos-Steelers thriller, though, I didn’t miss a whole lot in terms of excitement. The Giants’ 24-2 win over the Falcons sounded like one of the [...]

Dear God: Please choose the Patriots to beat the Broncos this Sunday
Dear God, I know you’ll be kicking back in your big pearly throne this Sunday afternoon to watch the New England Patriots take on the Denver Broncos. And who can blame you?

Tom Brady is the biggest reason the New England Patriots are slumping
All the talking heads on TV and radio can say about the New England Patriots’ current skid is how bad the defense looks and how Bill Belichick has lost his touch.

The New England Patriots haven’t been playin great, but at least their mascot is getting some play.

Pats cheerleader, penises and swastikas
Oh the blonde jokes that are popping into my head. Caitlin Davis was a New England Patriots cheerleader.
