Report: Bill Belichick’s College Move Getting Documentary Treatment After All

Fans will reportedly receive a behind-the-scenes look at Bill Belichick’s shift to college football.

The legendary New England Patriots head coach surprisingly accepted a new job with the University of North Carolina. Belichick will coach college for the first time after nearly five decades on NFL sidelines.

Those curious to see how Belichick does his new job may get a chance to watch his first year unfold beyond the games. Hulu is scheduled to film a documentary series on Belichick’s Tar Heels, according to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports.

Hulu has yet to confirm the new docuseries, but Glasspiegel...

Mike Vrabel Illustrates Patriots’ New Culture With NSFW Message

Mike Vrabel Illustrates Patriots’ New Culture With NSFW Message

The New England Patriots made it clear they are looking to change things up for the 2025 campaign after picking up just four wins in 2024. Perhaps the biggest move they made over the offseason saw them hire Mike Vrabel as their new head coach shortly after firing Jerod Mayo.

Mayo’s lone season in charge of the Patriots was a complete disaster. While the roster he was given was not exactly great, the culture of the team under Mayo’s lead was sloppy and undisciplined, which is a big reason why he’s no longer with the team.

By bringing Vrabel to...

Patriots Rumors: Stefon Diggs ‘Trending’ Toward Shocking Return Date

Patriots Rumors: Stefon Diggs ‘Trending’ Toward Shocking Return Date

Stefon Diggs might just beat the odds after all.

The New England Patriots receiver is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered late last October. Diggs, who signed with the Patriots during the offseason, was a limited participant during mandatory minicamp in June but sat out of all competitive team drills.

Since New England signed Diggs in late March, numerous rumors have suggested the 31-year-old wideout could be ready for the start of the season. However, many have refused to believe the rumors, writing them off as evidence of Diggs’ agent using reporters for good press.

And maybe...

Feel-Good Drake Maye Wedding Story Crumbles Under Scrutiny

Feel-Good Drake Maye Wedding Story Crumbles Under Scrutiny

A feel-good headline about New England Patriots quarterback Drake May has been sacked for a loss.

Weeks after New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye married longtime girlfriend Ann Michael Hudson in their North Carolina hometown, a story built to warm hearts went viral.

According to 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Scott Zolak, the newlyweds had quietly donated all their wedding gifts — reportedly worth $100,000 — to homeless shelters and children’s charities near Foxborough.

The tale went national, picked up by outlets like FOX News and People, with glowing coverage of the couple’s supposed generosity.

There was just one problem: [none...

Why Mike Florio Believes ‘Overlooked’ Patriots Could Be AFC Sleeper Team

Why Mike Florio Believes ‘Overlooked’ Patriots Could Be AFC Sleeper Team

Mike Florio believes the New England Patriots are underappreciated following their offseason turnover.

The Pro Football Talk host praised Mike Vrabel’s team during his “PFT PM Mailbag” on NFL on NBC last week. Florio even indicated he views the Patriots as a sleeper team in the AFC, and a club no team will want to see when the postseason comes around.

“I think the Patriots are going to pretty good this year,” Florio said. “I think Mike Vrabel is going to come in and change the culture the right way. I think they’ve gotten some players that are going to...

Patriots Could Soon Have Major Contract Issue On Hands

Patriots Could Soon Have Major Contract Issue On Hands

The New England Patriots might want to take notice of what went down Thursday.

The NFL has seen an interesting phenomenon occur this offseason, as the majority of second-round picks from the 2025 NFL Draft remained unsigned as some teams started reporting to training camp.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger (No. 33 overall) and Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins (No. 34) were the only to players picked in the round to sign prior to Thursday — with one very obvious factor being the reason. Higgins got a fully guaranteed deal, which empowered his fellow rookies to ask for something...

NFL Writer Dampens Patriots Hype With Pessimistic 2025 Prediction

NFL Writer Dampens Patriots Hype With Pessimistic 2025 Prediction

The New England Patriots are gaining buzz as a trendy sleeper team, but not everyone is on board.

Many onlookers expect the Patriots to improve drastically from a 4-13 season. They’re even drawing some traction as a candidate to jump from worst to first place in the AFC East under head coach Mike Vrabel.

Las Vegas may not project the Pats as Super Bowl contenders, but an 8.5 win total indicates elevated expectations in 2025. The Athletic’s Vic Tafur warned everyone to slow down the hype train when picking the Patriots to finish under that win total among his best...

Did Patriots Just Call Their Shot With Bold AFC Championship Game Move?

The New England Patriots are entering the 2025 campaign with a sense of hope. After rookie quarterback Drake Maye showed off his promise last year, the front office worked hard over the offseason to upgrade the roster around him.

Just a season ago, the Patriots were a laughingstock, winning just four games and throwing away the No. 1 overall pick by winning their season finale in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills. As a result, big changes were made over the past few months.

How big of an improvement those changes will lead to remains to be seen. There’s no...
