Open Letter to Bill Belichick
Dear Mr. Belichick, You've assembled yourself quite a football team. Hall Of Fame quarterback, impenetrable offensive line, scary-good corp of receivers. And while the defense keeps turning over, they just seem to be getting better. Barring something crazy happening this year, it's hard not to view New England as the probable AFC representatives in this season's Super...

Celtics Still Need A Point Guard
[Sung to the tune of "Danny Boy"] Oh Danny Boy The Celtics Need a Point Guard Eddie House must roam free from the ball Marquis Daniels is surely not the answer This is the last step to Banner Eighteen That sad, pitiful Weird Al Yankovic rip-off sums my feelings up fairly well. It's a necessity that we get someone to handle the ball behind Rondo, not a luxury. I&...

I'M BAAACK...
It's been nearly 9 months since I have written for BostonSportz.com. That's far too long. It's cliche to say, but life literally got in the way. My job used to be such that I had a a few hours of downtime per week. If not enough time to pound out a post or two, at least enough time to find something interesting to write about later. Granted, I wasn't breaking...

The Eck Experiment
While Jerry Remy is recovering from his surgery to remove a small, low-grade cancerous tumor from his lung, Dennis Eckersley has stepped up admirably to fill his spot in NESN's booth covering Red Sox games.
Now, Eckersley is phenomenal in the studio. I think most fans would agree he brings the hard-to-find combination of game experience, charisma, his own personal flair (and...

News broke on Monday that after three years, Tony Kornheiser will step down from his spot in the Monday Night Football booth due to his fear of flying.He'll be replaced by, of all people, Jon Gruden. Chucky joins Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski to give us one of the most interesting booths of all time.It'll be an interesting change to have a former NFL quarterback, a very-recently...

Malcolm Gladwell Is Really, Really Smart
There are different kinds of smart.
I have had this same conversation with friends in the past, and I've developed a bit of a theory, here. There are simply different types of smart. Everyone has friends who got all the plaudits in school, worked extremely hard, got the 4.0 in school and then fell flat on their face in the real world.
Everyone has friends who bombed school, skipped...

Building a Better Line: The Best of the Best
I've long felt that the most important battles on a football field are among the eight to ten players who we hear the least about: the offensive and defensive lines.Offensive linemen often find themselves among the least heralded players in the league. Most writers will tell you that the Pro Bowl for offensive linemen is decided by reputation alone. This is true, but largely...

The Favre Side of the Moon: The Hardest Part Is Letting Go
Sorry for the slow posting the last few days. It's finals time and as I finish up my degree, it means I unfortunately have to put some things aside. Last one is tomorrow and then it's back to regular posting.
There are at least some certainties in the sports world.
Stadium food will always be overpriced. Opening Day can't come soon enough. Only one team walks away happy...

BREAKING: Manny Tests Positive For PED use, Suspended 50 Games
Manny Ramirez has tested positive for a banned substance (Ed. Note: It was a banned performance enhancing substance, not a steroid) and has been suspended for 50 games, according to The Los Angeles Times via ESPN.
MLB is expected to announce the suspension today, according to their source.
Wow. Just...wow. I didn't know he had it in him. Really, Manny?

Celtics Fall For That Old Familiar Magic
Well that didn't last long.
If you had hopes of the Celtics riding the high of a game seven win over Chicago and coasting to an easy game one win over Orlando, you're probably not in a good mood right now.
The Magic did, well, what the Magic do. Shooting 27 three-pointers and making 9 of them, the Magic were able to build a pretty sizable lead before the Celtics came storming...

Celtics: What Next? No, Seriously. I Can't Take Anymore
That's it. I can't take anymore. I'm too tired. How can any of these guys still stand? I'm exhausted and all I've been doing is sitting on the couch and watching.
I mean seriously. Just look at this post on ESPN's True Hoop recapping the 10 best moments of this series. It's been six games and there's already 10 moments that, in any other year, would...

It's the Pierce and Rondini Show: The Celtics Escape Again
I had been kicking the question around my head the last day or so and PTI was kind enough to ask it for me this afternoon: Will the Celtics-Bulls Game 5 be a dud or a classic?
Well we got out answer tonight. You'd be forgiven for thinking your Tivo was on the fritz when Paul Pierce hit what seemed like three identical pull up jumpers to keep the Celtics in the game, keep them...

The Draft: The Final Verdict
I started writing this post Sunday night when the draft had finished and thought better of it. I wanted to first get an idea of what the other experts were saying about the overall draft but realized, well, that's kind of pointless in the end.
There have been such disparate grades handed out for the Patriots that it's hard to even know what the general consensus on the Patriots...

Breaking: Pats Trade Ellis Hobbs
The Patriots have traded cornerback Ellis Hobbs to the Eagles for two fifth round picks, according to Boston.com
Hobbs was signed through this season, so it makes sense in terms of timing. It's pretty much the last time they can get value for him without resigning him next season and they did just bring in Leigh Bodden and Shawn Springs (and drafted Darius Butler), so I can see...

Happy Draft Day: The History of Number 23
And a joyous day it is. Of course it's 85 degrees and beautiful out so I'll try to make this quick.
Admittedly, the #23 pick hardly fills most people's heads with thoughts of out-of-the-box superstars and Hall of Famers, but the #23 pick, as any draftnik will tell you, is nothing to throw away idly.
This late in the first round it's usually hard to find the true superstars...

Reports: Pats Trying To Work Way Into Top 10
Tip of the hat to Pro Football Talk for finding Peter King's report that the Patriots are making calls trying to find a way to get into one of the top 10 spots in the draft to find someone who can fill their myriad needs.
The only reason to move up in such an aggressive way, especially when the Patriots usually hate to guarantee that kind of money to unproven players, would be...

Prep HS Star To Drop Out, Will Play Ball Overseas
When Brandon Jennings decided to forego college and begin playing overseas, it caused an incredible stir among basketball circles.
The difference between European life and American life, even for a basketball star (and perhaps, given the rigors of life as a professional basketball player in Europe) is far greater than even the ocean that divides them.
If you've read stories about...

Belichick Talks Shop With Media, Brady Just Fine Thank You
Bill Belichick held his first press conference with the media today, hitting on a number of issues ranging from the upcoming NFL Draft (we've previewed what the media is saying about the Patriot's likely pick here as well as who they maybe should be looking at a few weeks back.
Going into the spring camps though, it looks like one Patriot player is back on schedule: Tom Brady...

Breaking: Powe Needs Surgery, Is Done
And another Celtic goes down. Early reports were not good and Jackie MacMullan just confirmed via Sportscenter.
Leon Powe will miss the rest of the season and will have knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and a torn meniscus.
Obviously that murders the Celtics bench and puts another big dent in what was left of their hopes of winning the 2009 NBA Championship.

Patriots: Mock Draft Roundup
It seems everybody and their mother has a mock draft these days.
Trying to analyze the draft and predict what is going to happen might be the most useless thing in sports writing.
Except, of course, analyzing everyone else's analysis of the draft. Give every fool his errand, I guess.
With that soaring introduction, I bring you the Mock Draft roundup: a final look at what the...

Three Potential Patriots Draft Targets Cleared
According to ProFootballTalk.com Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis and USC Linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews do not appear on the much-vaunted list of players who tested positive for illegal substances (marijuana for Davis and steroids for Cushing and Matthews, reportedly) at the NFL combine.
The list has apparently been significantly trimmed from the originally reported...

Bruins Fan Steals Kovalev's Stick During Fight (video)
During last night's 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens, one intrepid Bruins fan decided to nab himself a souvenir.
Reaching through the hole in the glass when Kovalev wasn't looking, all caught on camera.
Here's the video (watch the guy in the white shirt banging on the glass from about 0:09 onward.
Hilarious. I hope he got to keep it.
