You can’t blame Matt Walsh. Just because somebody professes or promises to be able to bring a national force to its knees doesn’t mean it’s true. The problem is so many people, including several national news organizations, believed him. Spygate is officially over. Walsh didn’t have that tape of the Rams Super Bowl walk-through. He [...]

I will be back immediately following the Roger Goodell press conference which is coming shortly. If you’d like to comment or ask any questions, I will be here blogging. Reports are the NFL met with Walsh for three hours, which is about two hours longer than planned. My guess is Walsh will have allegegations, not [...]
This is a loaded question. It feels as if the Cavs, especially with LeBron James, are winning the series at 2-2. One thing we should realize is it’s not going to be easy. The Cavs are not intimidated by the Celtics one bit, which was exactly the the problem with the Atlanta Hawks. So now [...]
I have two words that best describe the Cleveland Cavaliers resurgence in Cleveland for Game 3 of their series with the Celtics: Delonte West. I have two words for the Celtics that would best eliminate that Game 3 force: Rajon Rondo. It’s hard to ask a 22-year-old NBA kid to take over a series, game [...]
You have got to be kidding me. Ever since Matt Walsh started contacting various football writers around the country in September, that he had damning evidence of the Patriots “illegal” sideline taping practices, we expected the worst. Why would anyone jump on the national stage and contact several national writers and tell them he could [...]
I have a lengthy story in today’s Eagle-Tribune about how Danny Ainge not only built the team, from scratch, but did in a “Red Auerbach” sort of way. You can check that story out here. Here are nuggets, from Ainge, on each player he acquired: Ray Allen: “He had been a guy we had conversations [...]
Celts in 5? After the Hawks series? Burt are you on drugs? Yes. Yes. And no. I believe the Boston Celtics found themselves barely at the right time in the Atlanta series. They thought they had the “team” thing down pat, and they did for the regular season. But the regular season is not the [...]
A few weeks ago, a championship for the Celtics was the expectation for most basketball fans, never mind Celtics fans. Well, has your mind changed? Do you think they are a very good team, but not good enough to get past Cleveland, Detroit and say, San Antonio? Right now, I’m not so sure. I believe [...]
Tonight might be the biggest game of the Kevin Garnett Era season. Why would I say that with a Game 7 as a fall-back game on Sunday? Because the Celtics need to know, and I believe they do, that they are the best team in the NBA and the Atlanta Hawks, while young, athletic and [...]
