What is wrong? I have a few things on my list: 1. The no-defense on Joe Johnson, who had 20 fourth quarter points. Now if this was Lebron James, that’s one thing, but Joe Johnson? 2. The uncomfortable looking offense. 3. Rajon Rondo throwing too many passes away from rim rather than finishing shots up [...]
Here’s some news for Patriots fans: The Patriots did not settle for Jerod Mayo with the 10th pick. He’s the guy they wanted, a little later than their original 7th overall pick, from the minute the draft opened. Of course, that’s easier said after the fact, but the Patriots knew that the Long boys, Glenn [...]
How’s this for a perspective on the Red Sox during their five-game losing streak, commenced by three straight losses in Tampa? The Red Sox are going to be tough to beat. Three reasons: Justin Masterson, Clay Buchholz and Josh Beckett. All three guys bordered on outstanding in their starts allowing a combined four earned runs. [...]
The sight of Cam Neely, double high-fiving general manager Peter Chiarelli after Game 5 overtime in Montreal spoke volumes of the pent up anger and frustration Bruins fans have felt for too long. Well, it’s officially over with last night’s 5-0 Game 7 loss, but admit it, they pulled you in. I’m not sure if [...]
This is a tough choice. I am writing a column about my pick as we speak. Let me know your choice and why? Be realistic, please. Rank them in the top four, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. I will chime in soon. I look forward to your pick and reasons.
To this day, this fight, on April 15, 1985, remains one of the greatest sporting events I ever attended. Rarely does an event equal the anticipation, but this one surpassed it. I could say the same thing about the Patriots first Super Bowl win, the Snow Bowl win over the Raiders and the 1999 All-Star [...]
Here are 10 interesting observations about the Patriots 2008 schedule, which is below: 1. It’s easy early with Chiefs, Jets, Dolphins and 49ers. 2. An early bye week on Week 4. 3. Of the four trips to the West Coast, all the games are connected by back to back weeks (Oct. 5 and 12, and [...]

Here’s a list of 10 observations from a busy and important weekend of sports in New England: 1. The first Red Sox-Yankees series should not be played before the middle of May, at the earliest. It really is a waste of three potentially exciting games and overall atmosphere. It was like a Royals game on [...]
University of Arkansas running back Darren McFadden just finished his visit to Gillette Stadium. The All-American, ranked as the top back in the upcoming NFL Draft, flew in last night and arrived at the stadium this morning for interviews with several members of the Patriots coaching staff. He apparently spent some time with head coach [...]
Should David Ortiz have gone to New York City to film a commercial on his first “off” day back after the long three-week road trip? The only reason it is an issue is because of his batting average, that is now .088 after another hitless night in the Sox 12-6 series finale win over the [...]
