You see the press conferences when Bill Belichick plays a combination of town librarian and poker player — Monotone and emotionless.
He can really be an unlikeable guy from afar.
But then you watch this video, from last week’s game against Miami, and you understand why he is one of the best, maybe ever.
He is also very [...]

Central-Billerica at Veterans Memorial Stadium Friday night.
First off, I say, if you’re at the game, take a minute to look at the memorials in the stadium courtyard.
Wednesday was Veterans Day, of course. if you know me, you understand I’m a bit of a history buff. I simply think about all the sacrifices the generations before [...]

While most people like to compare Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and Brady’s slight statistical lead (7-3 record, 2-1 in playoffs and three Super Bowl rings) here’s a head-shaker.

Nicolle is 13-years-old and is a big Twilight Fan. She wrote in to the Eagle-Tribune about her experience standing in line waiting for one of the 500 bracelets given away at Hot Topic, for fans to meet the actors from the movie. Look for future stories and a movie review on “New Moon” in the [...]

Today was cleanup day on Yawkey Way in Boston.
Victor Martinez’s option for $7 million was picked up.
Jason Varitek’s option for $5 million and Alex Gonzalez’s for $6 million were not.
And Tim Wakefield’s perpetual $4 million option was destroyed and switched with the a two-year $5 million deal.

All of you Whittier Tech bashers had better back off.
Look, I grilled Kevin a bit on his very iffy (at-best) non-league schedule.
