    March 25, 2008

    Update: They turned it around in classic Sox fashion, the boys are back in town. woot. It's a little after 6:30 in the AM. I am not sure WHY exactly but I find myself on my couch watching the Red...

  • The Colt's Cheating Ways
    November 05, 2007

    I was going to write a humorous story about how when Lisa was in the bathroom in the 3rd quarter of last night’s game -- the Pats finally started to turn things around. When she came out of the bathroom...

  • There was a baseball game last night, kinda
    October 25, 2007

    I kept some random notes from last night's game. Check them out. Its the pregame show and the analyst are pretty much sitting in the stands about 3 feet from 3rd base. Fenway is funny like that. I would loved...

  • Michael Vick passes go, proceeds directly to jail.
    July 18, 2007

    As he should. I know that he's innocent until proven guilty but the indictment came out today and it does not look good for good ole Ron Mexico. I am of the opinion that it is not my right to...

  • Joe Morgan, Shut up.
    June 04, 2007

    You don’t know me, but I can’t stand you. All game you add no value to the broadcast while derailing what is an interesting baseball game. Here are a few reasons why I hate you. 1. You and A-Rod are...

  • Red Sox crushed in season opener, REO Speed Wagon found in yellow pages.
    April 03, 2007

    Wow, 2007 is off to a rocky start as the lowly Royals whittled a prison shank out of a melted fork and stuck it into the back of the Red Sox yesterday. When washed up rockers REO Speed Wagon sings...

  • End of; the season, Samuel in New England, Bruschi?
    January 23, 2007

    What a game, after 6 years of winning nail biters, we finally know what it feels like to lose one. Hat’s off to the Colts, they got it done. They got some help from the officials, injuries and player mistakes...

  • Defying Gravity
    January 15, 2007

    In light of last nights win, I found myself asking how the Patriots continue to defy the NFL’s gravity to make good teams mediocre. Since the NFL salary cap’s induction in 1994 teams that have success each have 50+ players...

  • You're Vanderjerk'ed!
    November 27, 2006

    I just tuned into the NFL network to see the “NFL Cheerleader Playoffs” (Seriously, it’s a show. Chad Jackson is the host, no seriously) only to hear that Mike Vaderjerk (sorry force of habit Vanderjagt) was cut from the...

  • Not out of magic.. yet.
    November 20, 2006

    With the first two consecutive losses in the last 4+ years coming in the past two weeks the Patriots stock has taken a drastic nosedive. The patriots have some issues they are working on just like every other NFL...

  • Oh what a night.
    November 06, 2006

    That was a battle of the ages, two heavyweight bruisers standing toe to toe landing fierce haymakers back and fourth. Blood and teeth sprayed out on the canvas -- it was such a rollercoaster of emotion – everything it was...

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback
    November 01, 2006

    Hi, how are you? Yeah? I’m fine -- thanks for asking. Yeah the SOC party last week was off the hook! It was crazy -- like insane crazy -- hanging from the ceiling throwing lightbulbs at people crazy. It was...

  • Un-Patriotic
    September 28, 2006

    I don't get it - after the Pats admittedly lackluster kickoff to the 2006-2007 season - somehow people, writers and fans (both nationally and disturbingly locally) have been commenting that this is the beginning of the end of Tom Brady...

  • Don't be a jackass.
    July 25, 2006

    I was enjoying in my normal Tuesday routine which entails getting ready for work while listening to WEEI (Boston sports talk radio) this morning. The morning hosts usually choose some ambiguous topic to rant and rave about all morning, filling...

  • David Ortiz or Tom Brady?
    June 27, 2006

    After David Ortiz 2nd game winning swing this week, a question was posed on WEEI (local sports talk radio) which stumped me this morning, whom is more clutch? David Ortiz or Tom Brady? I’m sure there are great reasons for...

  • The incoherent ramblings of a Red Sox fan.
    May 12, 2006

    After not saying too much here about the Red Sox for the first month and a half of the 2006 season and after taking the first full series pretty handily versus the Yankees its time for a 10 minute state...

  • Where there is smoke, there has to be fire.
    March 23, 2006

    As the popular saying says, Gillette Stadium has to be on fire. The most recent player lost to free agency, Adam Vinatieri, defiantly stings the most. You don’t loose possibly the most clutch kicker whom over the past 4 season...

  • Snoozer Bowl
    February 06, 2006

    After surviving last nights snoozer bowl I can’t but wonder if my feeling towards this game are jilted by the fact that the Patriots were not in the big game this year and had they been they would have EASILY...

  • Playing with house money.
    January 13, 2006

    This years Patriots season has been a rocky road. Only weeks after winning the super bowl feelings of elation went to horror when Bruschi had a stroke and we thought he was lost forever. Once the season started we...

  • Jesus, there is no Loyalty
    December 21, 2005

    There seems to be an absolute lack of loyalty everywhere recently. With employers, government, friends, families and it is certainly most prevalent with athletes in professional sports. This morning before I even managed to wipe the crust out of my...

    December 20, 2005

  • From First to Worst
    September 22, 2005

  • WWJDD?
    July 27, 2005

    Last nights Sox game was the most entertaining game of the year so far, even better than the crushing defeat of the Yankees of a few weeks ago which gave me wood for whole 3 days. The Sox come out...

  • The Great Number Eight (#8)
    June 09, 2005

    Being a teenager in New England in the late eighties/early nineties it was impossible NOT to be a Boston Bruins fan. Some of the greatest players to ever put a black and gold sweater on played during this era....

  • Broadway Brady
    April 18, 2005

    Tom Brady did a fantastic job on Saturday Night Live, however the writers of SNL did not and should be led into the back room of the SNL studio and shot. Brady looked just as poised and in control hosting...

  • Red, White and Bruschi
    March 03, 2005

  • NHL -- No Hockey League
    February 17, 2005

    Yesterday NHL commish Gary Bettman “regretfully” announced the cancellation of the 2004-2005 NHL season. It's really sad that we, the fans, are the ones whom are truly losing out. No matter what way players and owners try to spin it,...

  • Fairwell
    February 08, 2005

    The final gun has sounded on the Belechick/Weis/Crennel show and it has been quite a fantastic voyage as the Patriots bested the fan favorite Philadelphia Eagles in Superbowl XXXIX. The good news is that I believe that the winning isn’t...

  • Digesting the Hype

    Friday night, a basketball game turned into a mission in Grand Theft Auto when a few players on the Indiana Pacers decided to “jack” the Detroit Pistons fans. I don’t think I need to recap the night as you have...

  • Curse-less
    October 28, 2004

    Fitting, day one of being curse-less begins with a fierce hangover. The 2004 Red Sox have finally done it … its over! No more curses, jinxes, 1918, video clips of Bill Buckner, 86 year droughts, Bucky Dent Dingers, Grady Little...

    October 21, 2004

  • Time to Punch In.
    October 20, 2004

  • What, I don’t even get a reach around?
    October 13, 2004

    After watching the flogging the Sox took last night, NESN would have played 12 “keep the faith” commercials allowing me to sleep easier knowing I wasn't the only one crying inside. Instead we were treated to FOX Sports … who's...

  • Reluctantly Posting
    September 29, 2004

  • Barry Bonds is a Tool
    June 23, 2004

    Retorting Barry Bond's (BB) comments last Friday saying that Boston is "too racist" for him I would like to say the Sox would never trade for a ego-inflated, lazy, hypocritical steroid junkie. Mind you his comments about the city I...

  • Two Long weeks.
    February 01, 2004

    Since the Patriots beat on the Colts like a red headed stepchild, it has been two very long weeks. I have noticed considerably less hype this year rather than in past Superbowls. Usually in past years there has only been...
