FanHouse Patrick Pass

I'm one of the 10 people in the world that has yet to make a purchase on eBay, mainly because I have no use for a potato chip that looks like Jesus (that's what people sell on eBay, right?). However, if I had an extra $50,000 burning a hole in pocket, I probably would have jumped at the chance to own a piece of NFL history, as a member of the Super Bowl XXXVI champion New England Patriots recently auctioned his ring on eBay. It received no bids.

According to USA Today's NFL blog, The Huddle, the ring belonged to a player who was on all three Super Bowl-winning Patriots teams.

Another NFL draft has come and gone, and it's possible that you spent much of your weekend glued to a television set laughing at the Raiders and screaming for your team to find the next Tom Brady at the bottom of the sixth-round. If you're like me, you live in an area of the country where your only option for draft day coverage is ESPN's wire-to-wire mayhem.

If you happened to miss the draft, or watched it on the NFL Network, here's what you missed.

With running backs Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward sidelined due to injury, the New York Giants suddenly found themselves in a hole. And while Reuben Droughns appears ready to step up and carry the load, the team still needed to find some depth behind him and rookie Ahmad Bradshaw.

And yesterday, they did just that.

According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the Giants have signed former New England Patriots running back Patrick Pass.

Pass, who is known as a do-it-everything kind of player, spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Patriots before having a cup of coffee with the Houston Texans earlier this year. And while he's never carried the bulk of the load, he's proven the ability to get the job done when called upon.

He will replace linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka on the Giants who roster, who recently became the 10th player to find themselves on the season-ending injured reserve list.
