To all of the New England Patriots fans out there who are already throwing shade at Cam Newton , please relax. While Newton has not always conducted himself like Tom Brady on or off of the field, he is still a former number one pick and former MVP.  Sure, Cam Newton cares about fashion, but he also cares about winning. He is a talented player with a chip on his shoulder and he feels like he has something to prove to the entire league. His story is not entirely different from other players who have been brought in with success in the past.  If Cam Newton winds up like Randy Moss , Darrelle Revis , or Corey Dillon , then both sides will be very happy. In fact, Revis is probably the best comparison because both sides knew his time as a Patriots player would only be for one season. Newton will most likely be t...

With the official debut of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski via photo in their new Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms, I find myself having a hard time wishing them well. This despite being a Buccaneers fan. This week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shared the first official photos of both Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski and I have to admit I don’t really like it. I’ve been a Buccaneers fan since I was seven, but I am a lifelong Patriots fan and they are the team ruling my heart.   I keep trying to be happy for the Buccaneers and for Brady, but seeing him in his new uniform has turned this surreal offseason in reality. I find myself a little bitter even though I have tried to fight it.  I hate to say it but I feel like a petty ex when it comes to Gronk and especially Tom Brady. Since I like the Buccaneers, I thought I would find the Brady signing a good thing. After all, he had made it clear he was moving on from the Patriots. If he had to go somewhere else, why shouldn’t it be with a team I co...

The Tom Brady  era has ended for the New England Patriots and the quarterback picture remains a bit unclear. Over the weekend, the team reached an agreement with Brian Hoyer to return for a third stint with the Patriots. Hoyer was just recently cut by the Colts and according to his agent, he chose the Patriots over more lucrative offers because he was promised the chance to compete for the starting job. This would seemingly signify that the Patriots may be done with any significant additions to their quarterback room. If this is the case, have they done enough to still be considered a division and conference contender? By adding Hoyer, the Patriots now have a veteran with 38 career starts with six different teams. Along with the starting experience, Hoyer is well versed in the Patriots offense which I am sure played a big part in his return to the team. This factor cannot be overlooked with everything happening in the country and the world right now due to the Coronavirus. Wit...
