The New England Patriots are bringing Arkansas running back Darren McFadden in for a pre-draft look, according to the Boston Globe.

And there’s also no guarantee they would take him, given the presence of Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk and the defection of several key defensive players this off-season.
But if the stars align and he ended up playing half his Sundays in Foxboro he’d give the Patriots a reasonable shot at eclipsing the scoring record they set in 2007.
That would be some offense. Wow.

He says Housh has become the “glue to their offense” and is the guy Palmer relies on in clutch situations. (more…)

As we discussed many times, some influential voters and PFHOFers got to the Hall staff and board and convinced them…
The changes the Pro Football Hall of Fame made to the voting process were totally unnecessary and I just don’t…
