Oh, it’s your typical Thursday check-in by the Creature …

Oct 29th, 2009 by Hector Longo

Pretty good time, well as good as any, to check in with an updated Fantastic Four.

I’ve pondered it back and forth. There are a ton of great [...]

Oct 29th, 2009 by Bill Burt

An interesting sight after the Celtics buried the Charlotte Bobcats last night was watching Rasheed Wallace watching Game 1 of the World Series on the bigscreen TV in the Celtics locker room.
Wallace, a lifelong Phillies fan, was commenting on each pitch as if he was in the booth.
The former high school player of the year [...]

Yankees in 5

Oct 28th, 2009 by Bill Burt

Disclaimer: I believe the Phillies can beat the New York Yankees. They are that talented and, as Don Zimmer said in column I wrote today in The Eagle-Tribune, they are tough. Oh yeah, they’re defending champs, too.
But the New York Yankees will win the World Series. I believed this was a semi-mirage, their incredible 2009 [...]

To sign or not sign Rondo …

Oct 28th, 2009 by Bill Burt

If you asked 100 Boston Celtics fans if the team should sign Rajon Rondo, at least 95 would say “Yes,” with about 75 adding the exclamation point.
The point is almost everybody would like Rondo’s services. So that is not in question.
The question is: At what price?
The Celtics reportedly have offered Rondo under $10 million per [...]

Halftime grades at 21-7 …

Oct 25th, 2009 by Bill Burt

Pats got a little lazy, let things slip away in a game that was out of reach. Now, the opening possession of the second half decides whether this is another laugher or not
Offense
Line … B … Not a good day to be Logan Mankins, and the rookie Vollmer is limping
QB (C-) … Brady throwing to [...]

Phil Simms is selling, I’m not buying …

Oct 25th, 2009 by Bill Burt

How can a guy with so much credibility and class, so great a human being, athlete and spokesman for the game of pro football, flat out tell lies on national TV?
This is again Hector Longo speaking. I have the utmost respect for Phil Simms, but for him to sit on national TV and try to [...]
