I tried the phone lines in Dracut and sorry, but the folks in charge over there couldn’t be bothered (I guess!!) so now I’ll implore all you folks help us out at The Eagle-Tribune (circulation about 50,000, which according to industry standards represents about 125,000 readers). Perhaps, they’re ashamed. Perhaps, they don’t like being mocked [...]

OK, it’s not the kind of evidence that would convict, hell I’m not even sure of hearsay is admissable, but an Eagle-Tribune staffer relayed the story to me that Ricky Nault, yes Central’s Ricky Nault, picked his team fourth in the Merrimack Valley Conference. Fourth!!! Folks, I’m only going to chastise Ricky and his unfathomable [...]

Time to put a wrap on the football season. Hope you all enjoyed the first-ever All-Longo team. I’ve read all the responses and can only say that I tried to be as honest and fair as I could be. In putting together my final Top 10, I tried to weigh all the factors that matter [...]

OK, I’ve taken some time to ponder criteria for this team, which will be an annual event as long as I’m around to comment about it. Again, this is no all-state, all-league, all-scholastic or Eagle-Tribune All-Star team. To make my team, an athlete has to play with passion and personality, do something athletically that makes [...]

If John Madden can do it, so can I. This weekend, I will post the first-ever “All-Longo” football team in history. This is NOT RELATED ONE BIT to Eagle-Tribune All-Stars. It’s my team, with an offensive and defensive Player of the Year (not seven MVPs as the MVC coaches tend to do) and starting lineups. [...]

I apologize to my loyal blog buddies and readers. The last few days, I have been engrossed with the passing of my dad, Hector Longo, who fought like a champion but succumbed at the age of 81 Wednesday at MGH. I’m a zombie. I loved the man, from who myself and three sisters learned so [...]

OK, let’s go through the three New Hampshire title tilts Saturday, one by one. First, South at Pinkerton Unlike the other two games where I have a strong opinion, I’ve been bouncing back and forth on this one all week. South figures to be a handful, and it’s funny but you get the feeling a [...]

OK, I jumped in late on Tuesday afternoon’s WEEI rant about the AL MVP voting. “How could somebody leave him off their ballot?” One whined. “He’s a moron if he thinks this guy’s not in his top 10.” Ranted another. I was like, “yes, finally I’m on the same page with these guys. Carlos Pena [...]

I believe it was soccer guru, Peter Kitsos , who was working the chains and said it, but I’ll stick by the term to describe Friday night’s Haverhill-Lawrence football clash. Bizzaro. Where do I start? Lawrence absolutely obliterated the Hillies. If the Lancers played that inspired, they would have taken out Dracut Friday night. First [...]

Aaaah November, a time where fields bog up and titles are often decided by the club that adjusts best. This weekend promses to be your typical, annual advertisement for Field-Turf at all New England high schools. Nowadays, with so many quality Turf sites in the Granite State, you wonder why the championships are still often [...]
