Comments on: Troy Brown to be activated http://blogs.eagletribune.com/sports/2007/11/27/troy-brown-to-be-activated/ Bill Burt's blog on sports Sat, 22 Nov 2008 15:48:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.1 By: Bill Burt http://blogs.eagletribune.com/sports/2007/11/27/troy-brown-to-be-activated/#comment-2469 Bill Burt Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:55:24 +0000 http://blogs.eagletribune.com/sports/2007/11/27/troy-brown-to-be-activated/#comment-2469 Scott Russ has since retired and is doing well relaxing in the Haverhill area. He is still in touch with many old Bruins and has some involvement in the auto racing business, another love of his. He wasn't cranky. He was always busy. As for Grosky, he left the newspaper a few years ago and is now a lawyer in Lynn, I believe. His wife is a major editor at ET. As for Mikey Adams, he is the best. In case, you didn't know, he is exactly the same person on the air that he is off it. Take care. Scott

Gotta have a BA to even get an interview. It's that damn Pulitzer! Speaking of, is Russ Conway still stalking the newsroom? Man that guy was a cranky old bugger. But you were always very nice, I'm glad to see you're still writing for the Trib. Hey did my former cohort Jason Grosky ever get hired full-time there? I know he was doing police log and newsy stuff when I was last reading it regularly. Did you have fun with Mike Adams in Lowell this summer? I listened to a lot of that show, almost called in but I hate waiting on hold for hours :) You know how it is over there, Bill. Gotta have a BA to even get an interview. It’s that damn Pulitzer!

Thanks for the note. You probably could have been a sportswriter. You knew your stuff. By that I mean you agreed with me all the time ... Just joking, of course. As for Colvin, I believe they can overcome his loss. Honestly, he was having a decent season. Adalius Thomas allows Pats to handle this problem. Plus it will get him more playing time, which he needs. Take care. Scott

On the other hand, terrible news about Colvin! Is it his foot? His arm? I had no idea he got hurt that badly on Sunday. Tough loss. Btw, I used to work with you, Bill! I was a photo tech from NECC, working under Marc McGeehan or whatever his name was. You and I used to talk sports a couple times a week, it's always cool to hear you on WEEI. :) I’m thrilled that Troy’s going to get a chance to play for his 4th ring, that’s great news.

Welker is bruised and needs some help. Let's get him fresh for the playoffs. A proven go to guy who is fresh for the stretch run. 3 way can play! Welker is bruised and needs some help.
