There is no doubt any more. They are legitimate NBA championship contenders. That was as impressive a Celtics performance that I can remember. They were down 22 points (33-11) and looked dead. It really appeared their offense, missing Ray Allen (heel), would never rebound on this night against this defense. But they did. They also [...]
It’s official, Daisuke Matsuzaka will start opening day and he will be followed by Game 4 winner and World Series clincher, Jon Lester, will follow in Game 2, both against the A’s. The Dice-K start will be an interesting one with all of the commotion going on in his life — his wife gave birth [...]

If you are interested in commenting on tonight’s game, Celts at San Antonio, I will be around for about an hour after the game. This is almost as big as the Pistons game two weeks ago. It appears the Utah game, which the Jazz looked borderline perfect in, was the exception rather than the rule. [...]
I have a story in today’s Eagle-Tribune that basically says it’s time, especially after another dramatic Tiger Woods victory, to put him in his place in history. I believe he is the best ever. And I mean athlete. The comparisons to Jack Nicklaus and other golfers are old. He is the best, though I believe [...]

I’ll be around for at least an hour, until 2 p.m. If you have any questions, comments or strong opinions about the Red Sox chances, Patriots draft, Celtics championship bid or even the Bruins playoff hopes, I would be glad to answer them live. If you are here after the live portion ends, leave a [...]
Your first inclination is probably like mine … No bleepin’ way … when it comes to a recent report that the Patriots might be interested in trading for Titans trouble-child Pacman Jones. His many troubles seem to have centered around nightclubs, booze, guns, women and gangs. The Patriots, especially right now with “Matt Walsh” hanging [...]

I will be available for live blogging, answering any questions you might have about the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics or even the Bruins. There is a lot going on around the professional sports scene, including the Matt Walsh story. I had a column on his issue in the Wednesday Eagle-Tribune. I’m sure that will come [...]
Randy Moss and his girlfriend, Rachelle Washington, have apparently made up. Or they’ve agreed to disagree. Whatever the case, the lawsuit against Moss for battery has been dropped. The Patriots faced several hurdles and this was potentially one of them. After the Patriots beat the Jaguars in their playoff opener, this story surfaced, that Moss [...]
Who is Matt Walsh? Well, we are finding out more and more and quite honestly, the reports seem to worsen with each story and investigation. I haven’t quite figured out why he would need immunity or protection. He was a videotape assistant. He was basically, for a lack of a better term and no disrespect [...]
The New England Patriots has contacted Ty Law’s representative about the possiblity of coming back to his former team. Law just told me a few teams have expressed interest already. “Nothing substantial is happening right now, but a few teams have contacted my agent,” said Law, who is home in Plantation, Fla. “And yes, one [...]
