Make sure you stop by. I’d be glad to talk about what happened and what we expect will happen.
As in, Will anybody be going to jail?
So make sure you check back here with any questions or comments.

I will be blogging immediately after Clemens-McNamee affair
Posted in Red Sox, Uncategorized on Feb 13th, 2008 Comments
I have a story in today’s Eagle-Tribune after talking to Giants defensive backs coach Peter Giunta, a Salem, Ma. native.
Peter is one of the nicest people I have ever interviewed in the NFL. Anybody that knows him in the North Shore knows what I am talking about.
He basically went through their defensive game plan and [...]
I’m waiting.
I will say this. The Patriots will not make him the richest cornerback in the league. All they have to say is Brady takes the “Perennial championship discount” and we expect you to as well.
That would mean instead of making $60 million over six years, with $25 million guaranteed over three years, it would [...]
Does anybody out there support Roger Clemens?
Posted in Red Sox, Uncategorized on Feb 12th, 2008 Comments
I realize the vote is about 9-to-1 in favor of Brian McNamee’s story over Roger Clemens, but I’d like to find the few out there who believe Clemens.
We will find out more tomorrow, but probably not the entire truth.
Also, if you don’t believe Clemens, why?
All of this stuff went down really on Friday, two days before the game. And I realize the team is bunkered and out of reach in a new hotel.
But they have families and they do watch a little TV in killing time.
The last two days was all-spygate, all the time. It was a sickening feeling [...]
The simple answer is no, considering the way they played for so long.
But I believe the true answer is, probably.
The Patriots did not look like the Patriots almost from the opening gun on Super Bowl Sunday. The entire season, or at least most of it, they dictated the pace and style of the game.
With all [...]
Beginning today, I will answer a question I’ve been asked upon my return from Glendale, Arizona about your New England Patriots.
The first question, which is a good one, why did the Patriots look so flat?
Answer coming later today …
I wrote a column about us, New Englanders, getting over the Patriots loss.
It’s not easy, but it’s time to stop whining.
Well, a reader sent me this Internet-blasted joke sort of relating to our winning.
Here it goes:
A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about Churches around the country. He started by [...]
These two are not in the same position. Tedy Bruschi’s contract has expired and Rodney Harrison has another season left.
But both are near the end. The only question is “How close?” I guess there is another question, “Who would replace them.”
Right now, there are no replacements. Both were starters for a reason.
I’d be interested in [...]
I believe that Randy Moss and the Patriots have agreed in principle to a deal. I have not substantiated anything yet. My guess would be four years, $40 million, with about $20 million guaranteed over three years.
Remember, the Krafts are very creative with bonuses and would probably have some fancy incentives involved.
Asante Samuel is going [...]
