The best NFL team coverage anywhere, hands down

During decades of pro football fandom (the Bears are my favorite team, but the Pats run a decent second), I have never read team coverage better than what the Globe does for the Patriots, in print and online.

Mike Reiss's "Reiss's Pieces" blog is a special delight, especially during training camp time. Reading his updates, usually posted several times a day, is like being there. This is one of those rare instances where the quality of coverage materially enhances the experience of being a fan.

The Globe may be having its struggles in other ways, but its Patriots coverage has been first rate. May it continue to be that way.

Carl Stevens should not attempt to cover sports in verse again

Just because you can rhyme "Moss" with "toss" and "sod" with "God" doesn't mean you should.
