The NFL Players Association held its annual survey, and when it comes to New York's football teams, some players thought they made the grade. Others, did not.

For the second time in two years, Tom Brady has announced his retirement from the NFL, prompting fans to ask if the second time will be the charm.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buffalo Bills fans clicked from day one. The journeyman quarterback was easy to relate to for the self-proclaimed blue collar fanbase. A deceiving love-affair because Fitzpatrick graduated from Harvard but antics like going shirtless in the stands, while cheering on the Bills, despite below-zero temperatures, made him a Bills Mafia icon for life. Even his buddy quarterback Josh Allen paid tribute Fitzpatrick prior to Thursday's division game vs. the New England Patriots by wearing a #14 Fitzpatrick jersey.

A victory on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, will put the New York Jets on top of the AFC East with seven wins. With triumphs over the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills, Robert Saleh and his "all gas, no brake" crew own the needed tie-breakers that have Jets fans salivating for a potential playoff birth. 2010 was the last time Gang Green visited the NFL tournament in January. Now, one man in particular is out to ruin those dreams, as he has many times before. Bill Belichick.

The New England Patriots find themselves in an interesting and unique situation. They currently sit at 3-4 and are the only team under .500 in the AFC East.

Two of the NFL's most prolific team owners, Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones, nearly got into a fist fight over a discussion on the future of Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Even with Bailey Zappe at quarterback the Patriots are starting to resemble some of what were staples of Bill Belichick coached teams.

It’s only week 3 of the NFL season, but it’s an important game for the New England Patriots on Sunday. A win over the Ravens would put them back on the map.

Problems for most of us are relative. So, when a former New York Jets quarterback suggests that Tom Brady has a problem, I immediately rule out that it is an issue on the playing field. In the span of TB12's playing career he has played in 9 Super Bowls. In that same span of time, actually in the last 53 years, the Jets have not played in a single Super Bowl. So, logic leads us to the difficulty being off the playing field.

The Giants have the 5th and 7th picks, the Jets have the 4th and 10th picks, the Patriots have the 21st pick and the Bills have the 25th pick.

I don't like Tom Brady, but I respect Tom Brady. And, I thank Tom Brady, because he played a huge role in the success of the 2000's New York Giants, and in my fandom.

Get ready Bills Mafia. You have proven time and time again that Buffalo Bills fans are the best fans in the NFL. For the second year in a row, they have decided to put the billboard that they won for being the best outside of Gillette Stadium where they will go head to head for the AFC East with the New England Patriots this weekend.
