Patriots to Pay Tribute to Newtown Shooting Victims Sunday Night

The New England Patriots will wear black-ribbon logos on their helmets and hold a moment of silence before Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers in Foxborough.

Foxborough will be center stage of the National Football League world for the second time in six days Sunday night when the New England Patriots host the San Francisco 49ers in primetime on NBC's Sunday Night Football. But even a game with so much significance on playoff positioning will simply be less important in the wake of Friday's tragedy in Newtown, CT. The New England Patriots, along with the rest of the country, will have the 26 victims of Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on their minds and in their hearts during Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium. In recognition of Friday's tragedy, the Patriots plan to honor the 20 children and six adults killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School by wearing black-…

POLL: Who Will Win the Super Bowl?

We're looking for your predictions for the game. Do you think Tom Brady will pull it off?

As of today, New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski is still nursing his injured ankle. It's almost game day and we want to know who you think will win. It's the same match up as four years ago in the Super Bowl, when the NY Giants took down the New England Patriots with just a small margin of 17-14. Speculation has been flying around all week about who has the best offense and defense and if Gronkowski will be able to play, which could put the Patriots over the top. We want to know all the scenarios - if he's in, will it help Tom Brady get his groove back and be able to beat the Giants. If he's out, is there really no reason to watch because it'll be a landslide and the Patriots could lose. Or are you thinking that it's an even …

Fans Breathe Sigh of Relief: DirecTV to Air Super Bowl

DirecTV and Sunbeam reach an agreement.

DirecTV customers and New England Patriots fans can sit back and watch the Super Bowl in their own living room now that the company reached an agreement with Sunbeam. With this weekend's AFC win by the New England Patriots, local legislators got into the fight earlier this week and urged the two companies to come to terms before the Super Bowl would be blacked out in Boston and Florida. The dispute left about 200,000 DirecTV subscribers in the Boston TV market without access to NBC and the CW network programming, according to Boston.com. WHDH, the NBC affiliate in Boston, will broadcast the Super Bowl, so without an agreement, those people would not have been able to see the game. "We are pleased to have reached an agreement to end the …
