January 28, 2009I love competition. Most sports fans do and so when fantasy was conceived most sports fans saw their wildest dreams answered. I have never played fantasy before (although next year I’m definitely getting in a football league), but last baseball season I used to play Beat the Streak on MLB.com.
The premise is simple. Each day you pick [...]
I wrote this earlier this week and planned on posting it this afternoon. Looks like me and the Sox are too late. Is Manny next? What are the Sox planning on doing now? There are too many questions at this point and all we can do is watch it play out…
When I’m not thinking about [...]
Teixeira has gone to the Yankees for 8 years and 180 million dollars, according to baseball sources within ESPN.
Red Sox fans weep.
The future is in our hands, but also in the hands of the Jets, Seahawks, Dolphins, Chiefs, Ravens, Cowboys and the Jags. It’s not the best feeling to think that it is possible for us to go 11-5 and still not make the playoffs, but it’s the truth.
At this point, the wild card is our [...]
You know the saying, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going� Well you might as well write that on the Pats locker room message board, stitch it on the back of their jerseys and have a blimp carry the message over Gillette. That is now the official slogan of the Pats. The going [...]
November 25, 2008So last time I came out about even. This could be the wildest NFL season that I have ever seen and I wouldn’t have it any other way. That said it doesn’t bode well for any kind of picks. Let’s see if I can better my score.
Titans v. Detroit: Titans Happy Thanksgiving! You once again [...]
I never make picks. I am so superstitious that I always feel like I’m jinxing whichever team I pick to win. But what can you do? I thought I would step up and see how I fare. Here they are: some have commentary, some don’t. I’m shooting for a winning record- that is my only [...]
October 24, 2008In a mere couple of hours, I will be heading out of town for the weekend. In my bag are the usuals for any weekend getaway with one additional item: my Patriots jersey. A Vrabel home jersey. It’s two sizes too big and fits perfectly over a huge Pats sweatshirt which will keep me warm this weekend during the [...]
October 20, 2008*Disclaimer: I am watching Monday night football. I started this post at 8:29. I will probably be done at the end of the forth. If my writing becomes sloppy or my tone becomes frustrated, I apologize in advance.
The Sox are done. The 2008 campaign has ended. It was hard to watch in more ways than [...]
The Pats are not a topic that I like to speak about as of late. My diehard passionate rants have been muted. I love Sundays, but now I wish they had more Monday night games (only one this year) so that I can have stress free weekends.
Now that is a hard statement to write out. [...]
Why do I hate playing the Angels? Could it be because they have been proclaimed the best team in baseball? Nah. It’s because this girl has a full time job and staying up until 1:30a.m. hurts when it comes time to roll out of bed.
But there is no crying in baseball. So I happily joined [...]
Number 6 is going to be the number of the weekend, according to The Boston Globe. The Globe is reporting, as is the Herald, that the Sox will be retiring Johnny Pesky’s number over the weekend. I checked out the official Sox page and there are no press releases/statements yet, so I’m not sure when [...]
September 23, 2008That’s it. The Pats need to reevaluate everything. But it isn’t just Cassel, who played decently until his defense let Ronnie Brown run all over them-not really over because no one ever touched him- more like around them. Cassel isn’t the best, but his team needs to step up and play better to support him. [...]
September 23, 2008Don Orsillo is a great play-by-play guy and a Northeastern alum. He knows his stuff and never gets too over the top like his more famous other half and color man, Jerry Remy. It’s music to my ears when he calls a big play… Papi swings- wow look at that power- this ball is outta [...]
September 16, 2008A busy birthday week- yes the big 22- took me a little out of the huddle. But I’m back. The Patriots won on Sunday as everybody knows and was shocked to hear.
The Pats were the underdog for some godforsaken reason. Wait, what? Compare the two teams. New England is stronger is every aspect. Compare the players in [...]
The Pats won last night. Everyone seemed to think that the team was destined to go 1-1. Why? I never really understood it.
September 9, 2008There is no need to go into the details because we know what happened- Tom Brady is done for the year. An ACL tear took the superstar out of the 2008 season and now we are looking at a season without last years NFL MVP.
So what’s next?
At this point you have to assume not much. Cassel [...]
Seeing Tom Brady walk off the field hobbling was a painful experience for many fans watching the opener, but the bottom line was that he walked off.
Football fans know: if you walk off, there is a good chance you’re coming back. It looks like that isn’t the case.
Now reports are surfacing that Tom Brady has [...]
As I sit here and watch the first football game of the season, I’m hoping for a Skins victory and an embarrassing loss for the Giants. I’m waiting for the comeback as it’s currently 16-7 Giants in the 3rd. But more than I’m wishing for a game one loss for the team that stole our [...]
September 1, 2008I’m not a big fan of over the top introductions. The whole sit in a circle and act like you couldn’t be more excited to tell everyone your NAME and your MAJOR and your FAVORITE COLOR thing has always been my worse nightmare. So I’m gonna skip the big welcome and just say this…
Nothing [...]
