| 2/03/25 | Rich Gannon shares incredible story behind why Patriots traded him. Rich Gannon might be best known in New England as the quarterback for the Oakland Raiders team that fell to the Patriots in the 2001 AFC Divisional Round, aka the "Tuck Rule Game." But the former NFL MVP actually began his professional career with the Patriots. WATCH ANYTIME FOR FREE Stream NBC10 Boston news for free, 24/7, wherever you are. That's right: New England selected Gannon -- a record-setting quarterback at the University of Delaware -- in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 1987 NFL Draft. But the Patriots ended up trading Gannon six days later to the Minnesota Vikings for a pair of draft picks in a move that seems head-scratching in hindsight. So, what prompted Gannon's trade?

| 2/01/25 | Ranking 3 best Khalil Mack landing spots in 2025 NFL free agency. Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack has been playing in the NFL for 11 years now, and he remains one of the most feared pass rushers in the league. Mack has been in the league since 2014, when he was drafted with the No. 5 overall pick by the then-Oakland Raiders. Mack's quick rise from draft pick to superstar was even more impressive considering the fact that he wasn't exactly a big-time college player, at least in terms of where he went. Mack was a 2-star linebacker in the 2009 recruiting class and ended up signing with the Buffalo Bulls, which has been part of the MAC since 1999.

| 1/27/25 | The refs didn’t steal a Super Bowl trip from the Bills. The Chiefs’ excellence did. Some will insist debatable calls were to blame for another heartbreaker for Buffalo. But they have to contend with a great footballing dynasty every year From 1967 through 1975, the Oakland Raiders were the most successful team in professional football … in the regular season. They compiled a record of 95-24-7, and that winning percentage of .798 was a full 70 percentage points higher than the second-best team, the Dallas Cowboys. Those Raiders were packed with future Hall of Famers, and they had John Madden, one of the NFL’s best coaches, for most of that span. And throughout that time, they were stopped from winning the big one by several different dynasties. They lost Super Bowl II to the Green Bay Packers, and were crossed off in successive seasons in the playoffs by the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers – two more all-time teams. Oakland’s 7-8 postseason record tended to render everything else irrelevant. It wasn’t until 1976, when the Raiders went 13-1 in the regular season and poleaxed the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI, that they finally got that albatross of their backs.

| 1/17/25 | Are the Eagles the most physical team in football? 'You could see it on the tape' against the Packers. The NFL is never going back to the days when the mere sight of Jack Tatum frightened the bejesus out of opposing receivers.
