SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS

And the Patriots win again... was there ever any doubt? Onto the clippings!

Dan Shaughnessy calls the Patriots a dynasty, he also had a great article in Sunday's paper about how if Tom Brady were in any other profession, he would be the best at it. It's a cool read.


Everyone's favorite columinst (Bob Ryan) calls the Patriots the Team of the Century, of course the century is only five years old but he's right so far. Ryan also calls the Patriots the D-word, dominant not a dynasty. Of course today's cover of the Boston Herald says otherwise...


Rhode Island scribe, (Bryant basketball beat writer) Mike Parente, has the scoop I have yet to see in the Boston papers about Tom Brady getting a contract extension soon that will keep him in a Patriots uni for life. My guess is a 10-year, $100 million-dollar deal.

How about Bryant men's basketball by the way, ranked No. 10 nationally last week, they had two more victories and should move up in the polls! They're mostly healthy and playing their best basketball of the year! Who's better than that program! Of course, having All-World guard John Williams (Springfield, Mass. / Longmeadow High School) isn't too shabby either!

Back to football and the Patriots since this will probably be the last time I write about them til next fall. The New York Times had an interesting article complete with this line...

Boston, a city once haunted by a cursed baseball team and an irrelevant football team, has been rendered the hub of the professional sports universe in the new millennium. New England has won back-to-back Super Bowl titles, adding to the giddiness over the Red Sox' winning their first World Series since 1918 last October.

And how about this article by this guy from the Westchester (N.Y.) Journal News (I think he also writes for USA Today). Author Ian O'Connor says the Pats duo of Brady and Belichick is better than Jeter and Torre. Also, the Boston Herald has a look at the breakup of the trio as Defensive Coordinator Romeo goes to Cleveland and Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis goes to Notre Dame.
