Posted in Red Sox on Nov 18th, 2008 View Comments

I have to say this first. We here in New England are very unforgiving. A Boston Red Sox guy gets 16 first place votes, 6 second place votes, 4 third place votes and 1 fourth place vote to convincingly win the AL MVP. And you know what we are focusing on? The lone guy who [...]

Randy Moss makes a great, great, great catch for a tying TD as New York allows the Pats right down the field. Mangini will hear about the switch to the prevent defense in the last 1:20 in the papers and on the FAN if the J-E-T-S go down in overtime.
