This time, the story was Welker
FOXBOROUGH - The Jets milked that first one, didn’t they? They beat the Patriots way back when to go 2-0 en route to 3-0, and they had a lot to say. Of course, they didn’t beat the real Patriots, who were missing two players of some consequence.
Elis coach won’t kick himself
NEW HAVEN - Compared with Yale coach Tom Williams, the guy who runs the New England Patriots is Mr. Conservative.
Disorganized from start, they need to regroup
Seventy wins? How about beating a good team? The Celtics do not have one signature win in this early season, and don’t even think of counting that Opening Night gift in Cleveland, whose own coach said he wished he could have had three more weeks of practice.
In NBA lore, Nelson never comes up short
Mr. NBA was in town last night. Well, he is. This was career game No. 3,380 as a player and coach for Don Nelson, and that’s No. 1 on the all-time list. He has been a part of the NBA since 1962.
Lack of Bruins’ scoring strikes recently is striking
Patrice Bergeron has the quick hands. He swiped at a loose puck, sending it past Montreal netminder Carey Price. I believe they call that a goal. Been a long time, you know.

A few more observations from Bird’s nest
Larry Bird was not in the house when Bill Belichick decided to go for it on fourth and 2 from his 28. Even though Bird works just a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium, he has never been to a game there.
Not much reason in the arguments for Patriots’ Belichick
It did not look any better in dawn’s early light. Groggy Patriot Nation woke up yesterday and wondered, “Did that really happen?’’ Perhaps it was some Ambien-induced hallucination. A bad dream. Hangover haze.
Belichick gaffe unrivaled
INDIANAPOLIS - Ghastly. This was as bad as anything the Red Sox ever did. Had it been a playoff game, it would be right up there with Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, Aaron Boone, and History Derailed in Glendale, Ariz.
A night to choose sides
INDIANAPOLIS - You are a Tom Brady Guy or you are a Peyton Manning Guy. There is nothing in between.
Overlooked QB leads Holy Cross revival
It’s another boffo morning in the dusty, cramped football offices on the second floor of the Holy Cross Field House - a building that served as an airplane hangar in Davisville, R.I., during World War II.
Moss shows off several smooth moves
FOXBOROUGH - He comes off as rude, ridiculous, self-important, and difficult. And nobody gives a hoot because Randy Moss can make plays on the football field.
Franchise fixer
Don’t bother looking for Bill Parcells at Gillette Stadium this afternoon. The only tuna you’ll find at Patriot Place is on the menu at Skipjack’s.
Game 6 script perfect for Martinez
Six years later, he is back in new Yankee Stadium, still pitching for the honor of Red Sox Nation.
