Joe Thomas Describing How Facing Tom Brady's Patriots Reduced Him to Tears Will Break Your Heart

If you've reached the age of about 10, and you haven't begun to figure out the basic unfairness of life, then you've been done a disservice.  Your parents didn't do a good enough job of saying "No," your brothers and sisters didn't pick on you nearly enough, and you got treated way to well in school

Tom Brady Opened Up His Whole World to Us by Showing the Playcall Sheet From Super Bowl LI on National TV

In December of 2024, Sotheby's held an auction called "The GOAT Collection," of some of Tom Brady's personal items. This little gem, called "The Comeback," was the wristband he during Super Bowl LI. Otherwise known as "The 28-3 Game." Or the game that inspired a vanity project movie in which four po

Rex Ryan Declaring the Jets 'are BACK!" After One Game is Sweet Music to These Ears

Boy oh boy, is it ever strange feeling to wake up with the Patriots in last place in the AFC East and the Jets tied for first. I never thought I'd live to see the day. Wait. The day is September 14th? Disregard. I ask that testimony be stricken for the record.  Listen, the Jets earned it. They went 

AJ Brown Will Miss at Least a Month and There's Panic Throughout the Land. So Let's Hear the Good News About the Patriots Being 0-1.

Welp, as bad news goes, so far this is one of those "It could've been worse" scenarios if ever there was one. If Wednesday night when AJ Brown was hobbling toward the locker room and I was at "3. Bargaining" stage of Kubler-Ross, if you'd offered me a deal where he'd miss the games against against P

A Tribute to 'The Boatlift That Was Bigger Than Dunkirk': The 9/11 Story Not Enough of Us Know About

For the last eight years, on September 11th, this blog as, and forever should, be dominated by Large's personal account of his harrowing experience on this day 25 years ago. It's a must-read.  And still, after all this time, there is more to be learned about that day. When Large invited me down to B

The News on AJ Brown's Ankle Sprain is So Far, So Good

You can count me among the Patriots fans who saw our lives flash before our eyes on the opening drive on the 2nd half last night. On a simple 3rd down pass. The sort of throw Drake Maye made with supreme confidence and accuracy last year, but was practically impossible last night. It wasn't enough t

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.

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
