In a little over twenty-four hours from now, the National Football League will be crowning a new champion.  Who’s it going to be?  That depends on Sunday and who wants it more.  So it’s either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Arizona Cardinals who will be hoisting the Lombardi trophy.
Now if you go by most of the chatter on the Internet, the Cardinals should be winners.  As they are the fan favorite from the majority of polls seen on the net.  And why shouldn’t they be, everyone loves a Cinderella team.  But the talk on the networks (ESPN, CBS, and Fox) is all Pittsburgh.
And they [...]

For the love of god, will someone tell me why these two are being over looked once again. Who am I referring too, it’s Matt Cassel of the New England Patriots. And Chad Pennington from the Miami Dolphins. Two players that belong in this years Pro Bowl game. But for some strange reason won’t being going. Both have been officially snubbed…. twice!
Please I would really love to know this answer. The so called “All-Star” game for the NFL is suppose to reward players for their performance. And I’m sorry in my mind and the minds [...]

The New England Patriots and Matt Cassel has one very important thing in common currently.  Time, and for the next three weeks we’ll see and hear plenty of headlines.   Either on the web, the radio or television debating one very important question.  When and will New England franchise Cassel? 
The deadline for franchising players is February 19th.  And until then the media will beat this question and debate it to death.  As if they haven’t done that already.  The question on will they do it has been answered.  Yes, they will franchise Cassel, unless a new twist occurs with Tom Brady and the [...]

The New England Patriots have just filled one vacant spot on their club.  They announced a short while ago that Floyd Reese has come aboard to become their new senior football advisor.  Who is this new person?  Well he’s a veteran of the league with 31 years experience under his belt.
Here’s a look at the various jobs that he’s held since coming into the league back in the 70’s. 

Strength and conditioning coach of the Detroit Lions in 1975
Assistant coach with the Lions from 1975-1977 (Worked with Bill Belichick for 2 seasons)
Assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers in 1978
Assistant coach with the [...]

Well folks it’s time to pat yourself on the back and say “congratulations”.  Why you might be asking?  That answer is easy.  We just survived the longest weekend of the NFL schedule.  The dreaded “lost weekend” that we have become accustomed to calling it.  A weekend without football, it’s just down right wrong. 
For the first time in close to six months the woman around the world are rejoicing.  For their men no longer had “honey the game’s on” or “I have to watch my fantasy players in action” as an excuse.  Every true football fan has used that, or any other [...]

The New England Patriots will be celebrating their 50th season in 2009, and the team’s already preparing for another exciting season.  Today, the team unveiled an anniversary logo that will be used throughout the year to brand all the team’s anniversary activities, publications, and press announcements in 2009.  The anniversary logo will be utilized throughout the year on the Patriots’ many media platforms and will commemorateeach of the season tickets issued  in 2009.
The red, white and blue logo contains the text “New England Patriots” and “50 seasons.”  It features both the original “Pat Patriot” logo as well as the “stylized minuteman” trademark [...]

What a historical day today turned out to be.  The country has truly witnessed a miracle.  The anticipation has been building for years.  All of the celebrations will continue for days, if not weeks from now.  The confetti has been free falling for days.  People have been scrambling like mad, to bear witness to this event.  The hotels and airline reservations have been in overdrive.  As thousands upon thousands feel they need to capture the moment and savior it.
It’s not everyday that you have the opportunity to experience, what’s happening now.  People have gone years, even decades and never had the [...]

Congratulations to William G, from Massachusetts.  William is the final winner from the  “Who Is Your Favorite Patriots Player”contest.  The recently married William not only is a huge fan of the NFL’s greatest team, the New England Patriots.  But of all Boston teams, that includes the Red Sox, Celtics and of  course the Bruins.
Here is William’s entry below:
Dear MusketFire,
If you had to choose right now for who would be the New England Patriots favorite player of all time.  Everyone, including myself would easily say it’s “Tom Brady”.  Yes, Brady is amazing, but let us remember those players who wore the red and [...]

Everyone knows the biggest sports event in the world.  It’s the Super Bowl!  Hands down the most watched sporting event throughout the world.  Millions upon millions tune into the NFL’s biggest game each year.  For some it’s for their love of the game, others it’s just simply to see the high priced commercials. 
No matter what the reason is, people just watch and enjoy it.  And at the end of the championship games today, we just might be renaming the Super Bowl.  If both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles walk away victorious, the renaming will begin.  Here a few things [...]

At the conclusion of the New England Patriots season this year, I had high hopes and expectations.  NO, I’m not talking about the 2009 NFL draft.  When I say I had high hopes, I’m referring to the Patriots schedule for next season.  Every season you rotate which division you play.  Next year in the 2009 season they take on the NFC South.  Which means they play the likes of Tampa Bay, Carolina, Atlanta and the New Orleans Saints.
Now as a Patriots fan who no longer lives in the New England area.  I was very excited,  since I live in North Carolina now.  [...]
