Marathon Victims Get Surprise Hospital Visit from Patriots' Rob Gronkowski, Stevan Ridley

Gronkowski and Ridley made their rounds around a Boston hospital to visit with the recovering victims from last week’s attacks on the Boston Marathon.

The healing process from last week’s bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon has been long and painful for many of the 51 victims still hospitalized from the deadly blasts. To help lift their spirits, a pair of popular New England Patriots players recently made a surprise visit to a Boston Hospital. Tight end Rob Gronkowski and running back Stevan Ridley took time to visit with several of the Marathon's victims and tweeted some of their photos with “Boston’s strongest” at the hospital. “Boston's Strongest!! Y'all keep fighting and we'll keep praying!!” Ridley said via Twitter (@StevanRidley). Last week, Patriots' wide receiver Julian Edelman, visited bombing victim Jeff Bauman Jr., 27, at Boston Medical Center. Bauman helped …

Gronk Wild: Patriots Tight End Seen Body Slamming Friend at Vegas Nightclub (Video)

TMZ captured video footage of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski dancing with friends

Rob Gronkowski is once again making the kind of headlines that make most New England Patriots fans cringe: You get the point. TMZ captured video footage of the Patriots star tight end dancing shirtless on the stage of a Las Vegas nightclub with friends like he was auditioning for an MTV reality series to replace the recently concluded Jersey Shore. The video, to no surprise, has gone viral and is once again bringing to question Gronk's off-field behavior and commitment to football. Why? Well, it may have something to do with Gronk's choice of dance moves. When the fist pumps and Elvis-like pelvic thrusts got old, Gronk changed it up with a body slam of one of his friends. The move may have been a crowd-pleaser in Vegas but back in …

Patriots Fall Apart in Second Half, Lose to Buffalo

The Buffalo Bills get a surprise win against the New England Patriots.

The New England Patriots traveled to Buffalo Sunday to take on their AFC East rival. The game featured a veteran quarterback with two MVP awards against Buffalo's own Ryan Fitzpatrick. Buffalo is surprising the league with their high-powered offense and 3-0 start, including a big win at home against the Patriots. Tom Brady took to Buffalo's home field and immediately went to work on the Buffalo defense.  Brady was surgical, completing his first seven passes and after two very successful sustained drives, the Patriots were quickly up 14-0.   The Bills were their own worst enemy in the first half as Fitzpatrick threw two costly interceptions ending up in the hands of Kyle Arrington. It was 21-7 Patriots, with minutes to play.   A tipped pass…

Brady Throws for 517 Yards, Patriots Defeat Miami

It was a shootout between Tom Brady and Chad Henne, but Brady's record night was too much for Miami to handle, as the Patriots win the 2011 season opener.

Forget about all the excuses that can be made before the beginning of the 2011 NFL season.  It was time for the New England Patriots to start their 2011 season.  So much has been made of the NFL lockout, and the domino effect it might have on the 2011 season. For some time, it looked as though every team in the National Football League would get a free pass if their opening game was lost. However, the New England Patriots came out Monday night ready to play and ready to win. The Dolphins also came out Monday night slinging, as Chad Henne led his team in a nearly 8 minute opening drive. Henne threw all over the Patriots Defense, capping the drive by running the ball in himself for a touchdown.   Below is a list of "the great, the good, the …
