VIDEO | St. Elmo’s Fire..no wait, it’s Gronkowski’s FIRE!

 

There are so many times when I’m driving into work where I wish I could stop on the side of the road and post something quick. Today was one of those days.

Before I moved to Rhode Island, I had no interest or any idea about the awesome that is sports radio. Nowadays, I find myself habitually listening to the Sports Hub and LOL-ing a lot during my 45 minute drive to southern Rhode Island.

Singer/songwriter John Parr released a new version of his hit “St. Elmo’s Fire” dubbed “Tim Tebow’s Fire”. Now, I’m fully aware of all of the Tebow serenades out there but this is one is just all sorts of awesome and very much downloadable.

Conan, being the genius that he is, went on to parody Parr’s song with everyone and their mom on the Patriots. From Rob Gronkowski to Zoltan Mesko and someone you’ll never guess.

Enjoy!

Patriots made playoffs look way too easy

 

Halfway through the Patriots and Broncos game on Saturday, it quickly changed from a playoff game to a scrimmage between a varsity and JV team. I’ll admit that I was part of the hype going into this game. I had my fears about Tim Tebow and his fourth quarter heroics, the underrated defense and the ability of the team to adapt to make Tim Tebow successful. All of those things combined set the stage for Saturday’s game to be, if nothing else, exciting.

Before we dive into everything Patriots, I have to talk about that INSANE San Francisco and New Orleans game?! That has got to be one of the BEST football games I’ve ever seen. Period.

Between the lead tradeoffs to two quarterbacks playing at an exceptionally high level, I couldn’t have asked for a better game to get me ready for the Patriots and Broncos game. One of the best moments of this game was after veteran tight end Vernon Davis makes the game-winning catch, he couldn’t help but get emotional. How could you blame him? He’s been with the 49ers since 2006 and this was only his first playoff win. Check out this amazing video of Davis after the catch, I promise that you’ll get emotional too.

Man, that was awesome.

Ok back to the Patriots!

Where do I start? We had tight ends playing running back, a quarterback punting and impressive showings at defensive end.

Aaron Hernandez kills it as a running back
Number 81 managed 61 yards on the ground AND caught four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown. This is a perfect example of one my most favorite things about this Patriots team. Regardless of how successful or how good they’ve become, the desire to contribute and play as a team never stops. Hernandez wasn’t just good at it, he looked like he was having a pretty good time doing it. Hernandez spoke about it during the press conference.

I’d say I was surprised, but I was happy to be doing it, and I hope I can do a little more of it. I just do what the coaches ask me, and they put me in position to try to make plays, and I just try to help the team and just try to get the big gain.

Tom Brady can punt like no other
Holy moly. How shocked were you when this …

It’s a Patriots video extravaganza!

 

It’s getting close to game time folks, and I can barely control myself. Not gonna lie, my good friend Kristyn offered me a chance to buy tickets to the Patriots and Broncos game on Saturday and although I was wicked tempted, the responsible Kisha said nay. So to all you lucky fans out there braving the cold and wind at Gillette on Saturday, have a blasty-blast and make lots of noise.

During my drive to work, I get a chance to listen to the magic that is Boston sports radio. Other than getting to know Greg Stiemsma (who is actually a pretty interesting guy), this week has been full of Tebow, Broncos and good vs evil talk.  For the most part, I was ok with. Heck, it’s been pretty exciting having everyone in New England hyping up this game and even though logistically, the Patriots should win, there’s still that small thought in my head that thinks, “I mean, it IS Tim Tebow…” and that’s the part that makes this game so exciting.

In honor of tomorrow’s sure-to-be-suspenseful game, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my favorite Patriots highlights. Watch, cheer and get pumped, we’ve got some Broncos to beat.

Benjamin Watson’s tackle prevented a Champ Bailey touchdown
If this video doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will. Always a great video to watch when you feel like giving up.

Vince Wilfork’s First Career Interception
I was both exciting and laughing the entire time this was happening. I couldn’t believe the big guy not only got an interception but he RAN IT back!

Top Ten Bad Weather Games: #7 The Snow Bowl
Gotta give props to my friend PatsPropaganda for posting this video. Although the weather won’t be bad tomorrow, this gives us glimpse of how things were in Foxboro Stadium. So much snow!

Patriots Annihilate Titans in 45-0 beating
This is one of the last games I worked at Gillette Stadium and you can only imagine how surprised everyone was when the dusting started. The stadium and the game was absolutely beautiful.

Wes Welker kicks a field goal
The Patriots are team of multi-talented players.  When Stephen Gostkowski was injured and with no back-up kicker in sight, wide receiver Wes Welker stepped up and took care of kickoffs and extra points. It wasn’t pretty but it was quite adorable. Here’s to adjusting to the needs …

[VIDEO] CSNNE does it again: Food, Friends and Patriots talk

 

On a quiet and chilly evening, Comcast SportsNet New England set the stage at the Renaissance Hotel at Patriots Place for an evening of Patriots playoff discussion. Having been invited to the inaugural event in September, I had no doubt that they would put together another fantastic event…plus, the timing couldn’t have been better as were about to begin heavy preparation for Tim Tebow and the Dnver Broncos for Saturday evening’s game.

There were a lot of familiar faces at the event. Of course the “usual Blogapalooza gang” with Erik Frenz of Bleacher Report, Ian Logue of PatsFans.com, Joe Gill of FanFeedr and Boston Sports Then and Now, Russ Goldman of Patriots Fourth and Two and Bob Hylburg, author of Total Patriots were there. These are some of my favorite people to have a beer with as they always some of the best sports stories and I’m looking forward to the upcoming Blogapalooza later on this year. :)

In my attempt to keep things exciting, I made a nice little video of the event. It’s filled with interesting points by CSNNE’s most notable Patriot voices.

I also had the opportunity to meet some new folks like Steve Balestrieri ( @SteveB7SFG ) who also manages the Pats Pub blog on PatsFans.com.

Overall, the evening was great. As you’ll see from the video, some of the bigger questions revolved around Tim Tebow, Josh McDaniels and Wes Welker.

There was also a big question that Tom E. Curran brought up and it made for quite the response from the crowd.

I’ll give you a hint: It involves a certain slot receiver and moolah…

Check out the video and give me your thoughts. :)

Spanks.…
