The Longest Two Yards
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)It's been a few days. We've all calmed down a little. Nothing in my fancy new apartment is in danger of my destructive wrath anymore so...maybe we can talk about it a little. Maybe? Here's the thing: I'm not going to excoriate Bill Belichick...
There is nothing better...
(Photo from Boston.com)...than making Joey Porter shut up. It's positively delightful. After his semi-cryptic rambling last week about not liking the Patriots and the Patriots not liking him and default Division winners or some nonsense, well, basically, shut up, Joey. Forever...
So THAT happened...
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)The Yankees apparently misunderstood what I REALLY wanted for my birthday and instead decided to win the World Series yesterday. Three minutes before midnight by my clock. So, on the same day, I turned almost 30 and was subjected to watching the Yankees win...
Hey! Look! A cool thing!
(Photo from Stadium Journey)Considering that it's no longer, you know, baseball season per se here in New England, it's understandable that you might be jonesing for some baseball-y goodness devoid of talk about A-Rod's sudden resurgence and his subsequent role as New York...
I run the marathon til the very last mile*
(Photo by Greta)The thing is, when you finish a marathon, you get a giant silver medal with an eagle and like a globe and stuff being all hooray for you, and also America! Also? Maybe the coolest part? You get a space blanket. And a Marine gives both of those things to you. Which is...
Hooray for You!
(Picture from http://tennisnoise.wordpress.com)Andy Roddick is telling you all how awesome you are. Do you know how awesome you are? I'll tell you. You are $4991.24 amount of awesome. That's a lot of awesome. A whole lot of awesome. Perhaps even a metric ton of awesome. (I...
All Smiles
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)I'm with these charming gentlemen above, it's all smiles in New England after that game. Something about the early snow and the throwback uniforms (which I had not previously been in favor of because there's really no need for nostalgia about an...
A Day to Forget
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)The great thing about being on a plane for yesterday's sporting events, is I can pretend that none of them happened.So...how was your weekend?
Back on Top
(Photo from Boston.com)You'll forgive me if I don't have much to say about the whole Terrell Suggs business or Jared Gaither's injury (which sounds terrible and, of course, I wish him a speedy recovery) because, you see, I didn't get back home until about halfway through...
Now you've done it
(Photo from Boston.com)See? Now you've made daddy angry. You wouldn't like daddy when he's angry. He's liable to trade you or make Other daddy keep you off the playoff roster. And you know what that means? No goggles and Riverdancing for you.
More like it
(Photo from Boston.com)I mean, I know we're all supposed to be declaring Mark Sanchez super dreamy and just handing the Lombardi Trophy to Rex Ryan and all - since obviously, there's no need to even play the rest of the games - but personally, I was pleased to see my football...
Now Kerry Rhodes will never shut up
(Photo from NFL.com)The thing is, Randy, you've got to hang onto those. Because don't think I'm not plenty pissed off about this travesty of a football game and the fact that I have to listen to loud-mouthed Jets fans (and players...and coaches) for however long this lasts...
Aaaaaand...exhale
(Photo from Boston.com)Um, we, as a country, might want to get on that health care thing soon. Because if the Patriots persist in these kind of last minute, we're going to win, oh wait, no we're not. Oh hang on a second MAYBE OUR KICKER WILL RECOVER A FUMBLE and then we'...
One of a Kind
(Man, I'm going to miss that)NESN.com has my take on Tedy Bruschi's retirement. Except that, of course, I left out the part about all the power ballads I've been listening to - specifically Nilsson's "Without You" and that part of Air Supply's "Making...
So long, old friend
Well, it was probably only a matter of time. When Mike Vrabel left for Kansas City to keep Matt Cassel company, I worried that Tedy Bruschi simply wouldn't be able to find the strength to keep on keepin' on.Turns out, Bruschi is retiring after all.We're going to miss him...
No pressure, Tom.
Switching gears from baseball, this week's NESN.com post tackles (heh, see what I did there?) Tom Brady's recovery, the upcoming Patriots season and what we all want and expect.
Feels Like Football
(Photo from Boston.com)"Okay," Chrissy said as we sat down, raised our beers to Tom Brady's surgically-repaired leg and toasted to another football season, "here's the plan: as soon as the ball's snapped and Brady either throws it or hands off, he turns and...
Return of the RemDawg
New NESN.com post in which I suggest that the boys start playing well. You know, for the RemDawg.
A sight for sore eyes
(Photo from Boston.com)Ah, Remy. We missed you. Please come back soon to stay.
Fighting Spirit
(Photo from Boston.com)Good lord, that is the stuff nightmares are made of. I mean, I totally had a dream last night that I was fishing with someone who got torn apart by a shark but that picture up there is nearly as scary. (Side note: I might need to take a break from the Discovery...
Good Boys
(Photo from Boston.com)Was that all they needed, you think? Some tough love? Because I could do that all day, every day if that's what's required. Last night's game was a welcome respite in what had become a disconcertingly long losing streak and all of a sudden, I saw...
Stern Talking To
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)I would hide my face too, Daniel Bard. Really, you guys? REALLY? You couldn't win one measly ball game? You had four chances. FOUR. Ted Williams once famously said something about how baseball is the only venue in life where someone can fail a third of...
Ow, my pride
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)NESN.com has my take on what to expect from this weekend's series and the remainder of the season.In short, ::whimper::
Stung
(Photo from Yahoo! Sports)I liked it so much better when we played the Orioles every day. Really, that was fun. And I must again submit my plea to Major League Baseball that hits can carry over so we can take a few of our 23 from Sunday against the O's and put them to better use...
Making your own fun
(Lowell's all smiles)What can I say? I was prolific yesterday. Another NESN.com column detailing all the insane discussions you can have at the ballpark during a game in which the Sox are losing. I call it "making your own fun."Now, what to make of my belief that this...
