Drake Maye Could Be the MVP, but Mike Vrabel is a Mortal Lock for Coach of the Year

At the halfwayish mark of the NFL season, a very strong case can, and is, being made for Drake Maye as league MVP. You'll get no argument from me. Or from this intimate little gathering of elite scholars in Smithfield, RI: Maye's worthiness over the other candidates is a healthy, robust debate Ameri

Two of the Cops Who Testified Against Karen Read Are Still Being Investigated, and it's Not Looking Good for Them

Every time I think I'm out of the Karen Read posts, some law enforcement agency pulls me back in.  It's been months since disgraced MA State Police Trooper Michael Proctor got fired over his texts about Karen Read's leaky balloon knot that leaks poo and how there are no nudes on her phone or how she

3I/Atlas is Defying the Laws of Gravity and Picking Up Speed as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Asks NASA to Release More Data

There's not a bigger story going on in our corner of the universe right now than a massive, radiant, white hot, celestial object that has burst onto the scene, confounded the experts, is defying all our understanding of what is possible, and is only accelerating its pace the more we study it.  And t

Report: The Titans Can't Trade With the Patriots Because 'Amy Adams Strunk Continues to Think Too Much About How Things Ended With Vrabel'

Tom Brady's Dog Junie is a Clone of His Dog Lua, Who Died in 2023, Proving Not Even Death Can Defeat Tom Brady

If I said it once during Tom Brady's career, I said it a billion trillion times. Whenever I'd give a book talk (available now for everyone on your holiday list!) it would end with a Q&A where invariably someone would ask me how I thought the end of his playing days would go. And my stock answer was 

'That Was Just Me Being Angry': Raheem Morris Takes All the Fun Out of Clapgate by Admitting the Patriots Didn't Cheat

We were so close.  Like most men my age, I find myself on a neverending quest to recapture the glory days of my life Just not my childhood.

DO YOUR POD

“Do Your Pod” is a weekly show focusing on the New England Patriots featuring the same type of content Jerry Thornton has been bringing to the Barstool blog from its inception in the early 2000s. With analysis of the games, news, storylines and the sort of slanted, biased, but totally honest opinions that helped build the Barstool empire. Each week he’ll be joined by different guests, including Patriots beat writers, media people, insiders, comedians, Barstool colleagues, and anyone entertaining enough to deserve a major audience during one of the most pivotal years in the history of football’s greatest dynasty.

The Finale, Ft. Phil Perry: Do Your Pod Episode 20

It has obviously been a tough week to follow the Patriots. But it helped a lot to talk to NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.

My Conversation With JFK Files Expert Jefferson Morley in the Wake of New Revelations About the Assassination and Coverup

This is a follow up to the discussion I had with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who's heading up the congressional task force on the assassination of JFK: Jefferson Morley is arguably the world's foremost expert on the assassination, the coverup, the Warren Commission's lies, and all the shadowy

Do Your Pod ft. Barstool Legend Uncle Buck: The Future is Bright

This week's special guest to talk about the Week 1 game against Miami is none other than Barstool Founding Father Uncle Buck, who sometimes goes by his alter ego name, Adam Cormack.  Buck is the creator of features that helped put Barstool into orbit back in our infancy, including the Wake Ups and S
