En route to its fifth win in a row, the Patriots knocked Brett Favre out of Sunday's game and limited Randy Moss to one catch in his return to Gillette Stadium.

If the Jets keep playing this way, they will be lucky to even contend for a wild card.

After this year and this loss, things will never be the same.

Even for this New England Patriots fan, there would be no problem if safety Brandon Meriweather got suspended for his dangerous hit last Sunday.

As the game progressed it felt like those games many Jets fans have sat through before: a game that shouldn't have been lost but would inevitably be because of the inability to get the big play.

The return of former Super Bowl XXXIX MVP Deion Branch to the Patriots is much welcomed, but don't expect him to perform like it's 2005 all over again.

The BoSox celebrate the career of Mike Lowell and let the fans cheer on David Ortiz and Jason Varitek for possibly one last time in a Boston uniform.

The Jets proved their legitimacy as playoff bound and now sit in first place with a 3-1 record.

Make no mistake about it: the NY Mets will finally part ways with Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel after Sunday's last game of the season.

Braylon Edwards was the straw that stirred the drink in the Jets win.
