Patriots

The entire Baltimore roster rejoiced Sunday afternoon following kicker Billy Cundiff’s missed field goal with seconds remaining in the AFC Championship Game, saving the Ravens from a mandatory mid-winter trip to cold and desolate Indianapolis.

Apparently, playoff football in the NFL is serious business. So serious, in fact, that a woman will do whatever she can to help her man “survive and advance.”

Sunday's matchup between the Patriots and Broncos has created a dilemma for haters, as many of them struggle to decide whether they'd rather see Tim Tebow or Bill Belichick fail miserably.

When Patriots Rob Gronkowski landed awkwardly on his neck while scoring his second TD of the night Monday, concerns were immediately set off that he may have suffered a concussion. The six-foot-seven tight end downplayed further reports that he had indeed suffered head trauma, claiming he "just really stupid."

Tyler Palko has toiled around the NFL since 2007, but you wouldn’t know it since he had not recorded a stat until last year when he was the Chiefs’ third-string quarterback. After Matt Cassel left last Sunday’s game against the Broncos with an injury to his throwing hand, Palko stepped in behind center and now finds himself starting in his first NFL game against Patriots on Monday Night Football.

After an abominable 21 incomplete passes in last week's game against the Giants, the Patriots are forcing Tom Brady to fly to games in coach with the general public.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell today announced Lions DE Ndamukong Suh has been fined $20,000 for poking Patriots QB Tom Brady on Facebook earlier this week. It represents the league's latest effort to curb Suh's beastly intimidation tactics but is the first time he's been fined by the league for something done off the field.
