Joey Galloway News

What a difference a week makes. The New England Patriots went from being crushed to sitting in the catbird seat in just one week.

This likely isn't a phrase that's uttered too often in regards to a quarterback with three Super Bowl rings, a supermodel wife, bulging bank account and is considered one of the best ever at his position, but: Poor Tom Brady .

Back in September, Joey Galloway was taking snaps at receiver and Wes Welker was on the bench with a knee injury when the Patriots played the Jets.

It's that time again. I'm taking a glance into my crystal ball and pick out this week's fantasy football player of the week from the New England Patriots.

Afloat in trade rumors, the Ravens hit the NFL's trade deadline today without making a deal.

It's not very often Bill Belichick swings open the door to his brain and invites us to step inside and look around.

The Patriots ' search for a third receiver has been one of the running storylines of the first half of the season, somewhere between 's comeback and Ron Brace's inactivity.

The Patriots have a lot to feel good about after enjoying their bye week and returning to work today.

New England's Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are facing the AFC's toughest schedule from here on out.

The New England Patriots players are away on a bit of a fall vacation, enjoying their three-day bye weekend in places like Pittsburgh, where Leigh Bodden was inducted into the Duquesne Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday, or Louisiana, where Kevin Faulk returned home to see his Louisiana State Tigers take on Tulane and spend some time with family.

The New England Patriots currently stand atop the American Football Conference East with a record of 5-2. The Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers proved to be less than formidable foes.

The New England Patriots added offensive lineman Mark LeVoir and wide receiver Brandon Tate to the active roster in preparation for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in London.

Brandon Meriweather reacted to the news that he had been named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week with what amounted to a shrug.

When Tom Brady was growing up in California, he idolised Joe Montana, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

The Patriots did not have a lot of options for the role of No. 3 receiver yesterday.

The flashbulbs were popping, the crowd was energized, and the loyalties were split - other than the fact that it was in London, Sunday's New England Patriots-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game felt a lot like a Super Bowl.

It had not been a good situation for the veteran. Yet Galloway's former teammates with the Bucs reacted far differently.

The Patriots have filled their two open roster spots by activating rookie receiver Brandon Tate and veteran offensive lineman Mark LeVoir.

When the New England Patriots signed Joey Galloway, I thought that Galloway would provide extra depth at wideout, while giving Tom Brady a reliable target.

Deals at the NFL trading deadline are rare, and according to a quick glance of the Patriots' media guide, Bill Belichick hasn't made a single one since arriving in New England for the 2000 season.
