As of Super Bowl LX, the New England Patriots have been to the big game a record 12 times. Obviously, with so many trips to the game, the franchise has featured some pretty impressive rosters. Lets take a look at the very best to suit up for the Patriots on football's grandest stage. Quarterback- Tom Brady Having led the team to nine Super Bowl appearances and winning six, this was a no brainer. From his very first Super Bowl in 2001, the greatest passer of his generations ca

More often than not, a coaching tree is a reflection of a coach. Just a quick peek at New England Patriots Mike Vrabel's resume would suggest that he had all the mental tools necessary to win as he played extensively for Ohio State's John Cooper and won three Super Bowls with Bill Belichick's Patriots two decades ago. However, high school is where the fundamentals of the game are planted in a young person's mind and it is often there, away from the spotlight and money, where

In a decade that saw so many great teams reach the Super Bowl, perhaps the best organization to never win it all was the Los Angeles Rams. They were a roving door of talent along the defensive line and always seemed to find just the right quarterback/coach combination to make the organization click year after year. The Rams reached five conference championship games during the 1970s and ended a decade filled with so much promise and hope with a loss in the Super Bowl. This is

The 49ers lost badly to the Seattle Seahawks this past Saturday. While the 41-6 spanking in the Emerald City was humbling enough, questions abound about the direction of the franchise. Let's take a look at their previous blowout losses in the playoffs and how the 49ers dealt with each humiliating loss. 1986 Divisional: 49-3 @ New York The 49ers never stood a chance. Early in the second quarter, New York running back Joe Morris dashed up the middle of San Francisco's defense

One of the most incremental aspects of quarterbacking in thee NFL is the presence of mind to lead your team when the going gets tough. In 1980, the Cleveland Browns' Brian Sipe did so well in crunch time that he earned the league MVP. But his story is so much more than that one magical season. This is his story. The Early Years Brian Winfield Sipe was born on August 8, 1949 in San Diego, California. Growing up as the only boy in a house full of three sisters, young Brian took

As the NFL season comes to a close, snow often decorates many of the home fields on the East Coast. Whether it's a light flutter or a heavy flurry, the added element always leaves spectators in awe. Since the city of Buffalo usually endures the most snow, its football stadium has become synonymous with snow. Now that Highmark (né Rich) Stadium is closing its doors, it's only fitting that we take a look back at its most memorable moments in the snow. 1/12/1991: Bills vs Dolphi

From 1924 through 1932, legendary coach Pop Warner led the Stanford football program to unprecedented success that would spur the program for years to come. This is their story. Background For the first 24 years of the 20th century, the Stanford Cardinal football team usually performed decently enough to draw a sizeable following. They had even enjoyed an unbeaten and untied campaign in 1905 and had won ten or more games three other times in their brief history. When they wen

When Saratoga High School beat Palma in the 1996 CCS Championship Game, coach Mike Machado knew that that would be his last as the Falcons coach. Although Saratoga's program was thriving in just his second year as the varsity head coach, Machado knew that he could never replace his predecessor, Benny Pierce, whose 269 wins, 16 league titles and four CCS championship triumphs from 1961 through 1994 still echo'd in Saratoga's hallways. Mike Machado knew that although he could s
