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 close.
4. Bad luck. Let’s be honest. They missed about 10 bunnies. If five of them went in it probably would have been blowout.
5. Atlanta … continued »

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 Dorsey and Darren McFadden, and none of those, the Patriots felt, were worth the money they’ll be getting as Top Five picks.
Which … continued »

How’s this for a perspective on the Red Sox during their five-game losing streak, commenced by three straight losses in Tampa?

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 Red Sox pitching staff, rather than hitting, will dictate how far this team goes in October, if indeed they make it that … continued »

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 the Bruins are back, but I hope they are. I was born and bred on Bruins hockey as a boy — I … continued »

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 game.
But Marvin Hagler was among my favorite athletes as a teenager in the mid-to-late 1970s. If I did a list of athletes, … continued »
