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.

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 [...]

Now you know what it feels like to be a fan.
It occurs to me, even at the quarter-life age of 24, that this year’s group of college freshmen were largely born in nineteen-ninety — to say nothing of you high schoolers.
That means that 2003 seems like a million years ago. That means you weren’t born [...]

You don’t win pennants in the offseason. You don’t win them during the season either. You win them in the postseason. It is now October and it’s time for some baseball. After six months, eight of thirty teams remain. In a little less than a month, we will have our champion. [...]

I’m not really going to get into detail about the game tonight, because it really doesn’t matter. The Celtics stink. They got completely embarrassed on the road again by a team that also stinks. Their is something wrong with the Celtics that can’t be fixed. They dominated the regular season, but [...]

Without Finals MVP Chauncey Billups, the Detroit Pistons showed why they are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference with their 90-89 victory over the Orlando Magic this afternoon. The victory gave them a three-games-to-one series lead as they travel back to Detroit for Game Five. Richard Hamilton was absolutely clutch scoring [...]

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, who was benched in Game 4 due to not stopping the puck from going in the goal nearly enough, will be back for Game 5 on Saturday night.
“He deserves a second shot,” Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau told the Canadian Press. “I think in the last few days he had time [...]

During Iverson’s tenure as a Sixer every year I would hear, “Iverson has never played with anyone” and “Give Iverson another scorer and you’ll see him win.” Alright, well he’s surrounded with legitimate players now in Denver and now what? His team stinks. They got embarrassed in the first round of the playoffs by the [...]

The Flyers are riding a scorching hot goaltender right now in Marty Biron. His glove is catching everything. His poke checks are timely. And he is entering Pat Burrell elite status. Indeed, he is “completely awesome.”
Heading into the third period last night, the Flyers led 3-0 and it seemed they only needed to kill twenty [...]

The #7 seed Philadelphia 76ers shocked the #2 seed Detroit Pistons Sunday night 90-86. The Pistons have been there done that and their lineup is just filthy. But, the Sixers are young, they play defense and they run all damn day. This could be a problem for the Pistons if the series drags on. The [...]

The first round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is officially heating up, and not just on the ice rinks.

I had a chance to preview MLB Production’s official 2007 World Series Film narrated by superstar and devout Sox fan Matt Damon.
I never, ever get enough of watching the Red Sox win. After living for years under the shadow of my entire Yankee-loving family, I’ve acquired a library of books, posters and DVD’s from all [...]
