Kevin Faulk is only 70-75 percent recovered nearly six months after tearing his ACL. The running back was asked by the BOSTON GLOBE if he’s going to retire, or return to the Patriots in 2011:

“I honestly don’t know,’’ said Faulk, who will be 35 in June and has played 12 seasons with the Patriots, “Like my wife tells me, ‘You’re giving me so many different scenarios, so many different feelings about coming back.’

Faulk, drafted in the second round of the 1999 draft, is a free agent, he won’t be able to re-sign with the Patriots while a work stoppage is going on.

Patriots star says 18-game season ‘stupid’

Vince Wilfork doesn’t know what the future holds in terms of a lockout. But one issue really gets his juices flowing. The Patriots nose tackle isn’t afraid to say how much he hates the idea of the proposed 18-game regular-season schedule, and if the NFL and players’ union ultimately agree to incorporate that into a new collective bargaining agreement, that would be incredibly “stupid’’ in his eyes. Wilfork, speaking after the AFC’s 55-41 Pro Bowl loss to the NFC at Aloha Stadium on Sunday, was talking about whether he was worried about a lockout when he launched into a diatribe about a potential 18-game season. “It’s going to do whatever the NFL wants to do, anyways. It’s one of those things where you just have to sit and see what happens,” Wilfork first said with respect to a lockout. “But I can tell you one thing, 18 games don’t make no sense. Eighteen games turns into 20 games because the two preseason games you have to play your veterans and your starters. So that’s 20 games. “If you look at it from that standpoint, it’s a stupid thing. It’s just too stupid to be adding games.” — Boston Herald

Patriots star admits he shouldn’t have made foot fetish jokes

Wes Welker admitted that he shouldn’t have taken his less-than-subtle shots at Rex Ryan in the run-up to the Jets’ divisional playoff game with the Patriots two weeks ago. The Pro Bowl receiver made at least 10 foot references in a press conference in the wake of Ryan’s alleged foot fetish video with his wife. Welker told the Boston Herald that he regrets his actions.”Yeah, sure I do,” Welker said on his way to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. “I’m not going to get into any details about it, but I don’t think it’s worth putting (Bill Belichick) in that situation. So in a sense, I do regret it. As much as you might want to get enticed into that stuff, at the end of the day, it’s just not worth it.” — NY Daily News

ESPN personality explains weird comments during radio interview

Turns out, says ESPN’s Tom Jackson, he wasn’t being crazy on-air Sunday. On a pregame show, Jackson picked the New England Patriots to thump the New York Jets 30-10, hardly a novel prophecy given that the Pats stomped the Jets last month. On ESPN postgame Sunday, linebacker Bart Scott woofed that the Jets had shown “all the non-believers” — mentioning Jackson — in a typical nobody-gave-us-a-chance sports rant. What’s weird is that Jackson went on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike In the Morning and announced he “certainly thought” the Jets might win. His pick had just been a “premeditated” move in a “psychological game” to “cement” the Jets “in the bunker mentality of ‘us against the world.’   Jackson admitted later how silly his radio interview comments were and explained why he

ESPN broadcaster made worst knee-jerk call in history of modern sportscasting

Who made the worst knee-jerk call in the history of modern sportscasting? Funny you should ask. One could logically guess Mike Francesa, given that he has made so many, but the title belongs to a more likable fellow, ESPN NFL studio analyst Tom Jackson. After the Pats opened the 2003 season with a 31-0 loss to the Bills, Jackson firmly, knowingly declared that “Bill Belichick has lost this team.” The Pats went 14-1 the rest of the way, won the Super Bowl, went 14-2 the next season, and, well, since Jackson’s claim, Belichick’s Pats are 113-29. — NY Post
