      What has been a rough season for the Washington Redskins got a little brighter yesterday when both Darrell Green and Art Monk were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, reports AP. New England linebacker Andre Tippett, San Diego/San Francisco defensive end Fred Dean, Minnesota/Denver tackle Gary Zimmerman and  Kansas City cornerback Emmitt Thomas were also elected. More »

      Specter Presses NFL Commish on Spying Flap

      Arlen Specter wants to know why the NFL destroyed evidence of spying by the New England Patriots, the New York Times reports. The Republican senator from Pennsylvania says commissioner Roger Goodell will eventually be called to answer for the tapes' destruction in the context of the league’s antitrust exemption. Goodell defended himself today, calling his action "the appropriate thing to do." More »

      Fox, Phoenix Super Already

      If you're a business with a stake in Super Bowl revenues, a good weekend lies ahead. Sunday's game is an economic powerhouse, and with millions in ticket sales and merchandising, the NFL is actually one of the lesser winners, BusinessWeek reports. Broadcaster Fox, for example, stands to make a mint: Last year, CBS took in $243 million in ad revenue. More »

      Belichick's Final Obstacle: His First Dynasty

      In the final game of a historic season, it is a remarkable irony that Patriots coach Bill Belichick must defeat the team he once helped lead to greatness: the Giants, with whom he won two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells. Though he has won three more with New England, Belichick's New York defenses remain his bellwether of excellence. More »

      Super Bowl Ads Take Up Strike Slack

      Advertisers are betting big to get their messages across during Sunday's Super Bowl, and the renewal of the annual competition for viewers' eyeballs is especially fierce this year because of the Writers Guild strike, reports the AP. With scripted shows in reruns, advertisers are feeling pressure to get the most out of their spots during, literally, the only game in town. More »

      Bootless Brady Off to Arizona

      There's been a Tom Brady sighting—and this time he was neither limping nor wearing a boot. The star quarterback and his teammates today took part in a pep rally at Gillette Stadium before leaving for next week's Super Bowl XLII in Arizona. Today he proclaimed himself ready to play, certainly to the delight of Pats fans everywhere. More »

      Sex Appeal and the Single Quarterback

      As the Super Bowl nears, pundits are comparing rival quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning—right down to who they date and for how long, the New York Times reports. Brady, who escorts leggy Gisele Bundchen to chi chi clubs, descends from the Joe Namath tradition of playboy QB. Manning is more the straitlaced Roger Staubach, searching the stands for his university gal-turned-fiancee when games end. More »

      newser  |  Associated Press  |  Jan 26, 08 7:36 AM CST

      And We Wonder: Where's Tom?

      Send out the search party. Tom Brady wasn't at practice or in the locker room for the second straight day during the media's allotted time, fueling speculation about the severity of an apparent ankle injury suffered earlier in the playoffs. And as usual, New England coach Bill Belichick offered no insight into his star quarterback's absence during a press conference. More »

      Tom Brady Is Injured?!

      Tom Brady appears to be a little banged up. Gossip photographers spotted the Patriots QB wearing a walking boot and limping noticeably as he visited girlfriend Gisele Bundchen yesterday in New York City, the Boston Globe reports. Brady dodged questions about the limp and promised to play, saying, “I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one.” More »

      Now, That Was the Patriots

      That’s the best team of all time? The Patriots who showed up yesterday didn’t look much like a juggernaut poised to cap off a perfect season that included scores like 52-7 (Washington) or 56-10 (Buffalo). Instead, in grinding out a 21-12 victory over the Chargers they looked like something better, ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski writes: the old Patriots. More »

      Patriots Stay Perfect

      The '72 Dolphins must be nervous after New England stayed perfect today by defeating an injured Chargers crew, 21-12, and advancing to a fourth Super Bowl in seven years. The Patriots had to work for it, suffering a lackluster effort from Tom Brady, and riding rusher Lawrence Maroney for 122 yards and a touchdown. More »

      Rivers Says He Will Play for Chargers

      As far as Philip Rivers is concerned, he is the San Diego Chargers quarterback in Sunday's AFC championship game against the New England Patriots, reports the Associated Press. "The way I felt Monday morning, I didn't think I'd feel as good as I do right now," said Rivers. Coach Norv Turner, however, said Rivers is still doubtful - an official designation in the NFL that means there's only a 25% chance he'll play. More »

      If Pats Win, So Do Networks, NFL

      Sorry, San Diego, but the NFL is rooting for the Patriots. New England and its pursuit of perfection have racked up historic ratings all season: the Patriots' final regular-season game was the most watched TV program of the season, and the highest-rated NFL game since 1995.  If they beat the Chargers, Fox might wind up with the most watched Super Bowl of all time, MarketWatch reports.

      Patriots' Moss Denies Battery Accusation

      New England receiver Randy Moss today said an incident in which a Florida woman is accusing him of battery was "an accident" and that the accusations are financially motivated, the Boston Globe reports. "I've never put my hand on one woman, physically or in an angry manner," said Moss, whose Patriots host San Diego on Sunday for berth in the Super Bowl. More »

      Perfect Patriots Pound Jaguars

      Tom Brady has been breaking records all season, and Saturday was no different. New England's quarterback completed 26 of 28 passes in leading the perfect Patriots to a 31-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL playoffs, reports the AP. Brady's 92.6% completion percentage broke Phil Simms' post-season record of 88% set in the 1987 Super Bowl. More »

      AP Votes Tom Brady Most Offensive

      Exactly no one should be surprised by the news that Tom Brady, the protagonist of New England's record-setting 16-0 season, won the AP's Offensive Player of the Year award. Green Bay's resurgent Brett Favre and two other Patriots, Randy Moss and Wes Welker, were the only others to receive nods, but Brady had 71% of the vote. More »

      Brady Wins MVP in Landslide

      Tom Brady has racked up another eye-popping stat: 49-for-50, the vote count by media members that won him the AP's 2007 NFL MVP award today. Brady earned the crown with a record-breaking year, completing 68.9% of his passes for 4,806 yards, both league bests, and beating the single-season touchdown pass record by one. Oh, and his team won a couple games, too. More »

      Pats/Giants Net Most Viewers Since '95

      The Patriots' final step to an undefeated regular season—Saturday's victory over the Giants—attracted an estimated 34.5 million viewers, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The tally is the largest the NFL has managed since the 1995 Chiefs-Cowboys Thanksgiving game. The millions were divided among CBS and NBC, who were granted last minute rights to air the game, and the NFL Network. More »

      Patriots Achieve Perfection

      The Giants didn't get the memo that their matchup with unbeaten New England was meaningless, as they put up a commendable fight in a 38-35 loss, reports The New York Times . The Patriots became the first team to finish the regular season undefeated since 1972, and also set several records in the process, including most points scored in one season. More »

      Giants Have Eyes on Prize in Pats Game

      Though a fixed playoff picture seemingly gives the Giants nothing to play for in Saturday's game against the unbeaten Patriots, New York wouldn't mind playing the spoiler. “No one in here is screaming ‘Let's rest!' I can tell you that," running back Brandon Jacobs tells the New York Post. More »
