LATEST STORIES FROM SHERIDAN
Health Care Reform
When did the phrase "health care reform" become a euphemism for socialism? Based on the proclamations we've witnessed at town hall meetings across the nation, it would seem citizens of this great capitalist nation are satisfied with the present health care system. Of...
New England Patriots Training Camp
Took a ride down to the New England Patriots training camp on Tuesday. We made a wrong turn and ended up in Rhode Island, but we got there in time for the afternoon practice session. (How did we end up in Rhode Island? Don't ask.)
Friday Fish Fry: Michael Vick In The Ron LeFlore Story
Death panels are chasing me. Team Euthanasia, led by a former presidential assassin, is knocking on my door. Philadelphia is clearly the land of opportunity and second chances. A robin is studying me from its perch outside my window. Wilco is playing on the stereo and summer is soon to end.
The Week in Rock: AC/DC At Gillette Stadium
I tend to stay away from stadium concerts. Invariably, the performers resemble microscopic insects on the stage and any "good seat" will cost you hundreds of dollars. The last stadium rock show I attended, before the AC/DC show at Gillette Stadium, was the Rolling Stones...
Another Friday Fish Fry
My brain isn't firing on all cylinders today. The synapses are a little slow doing the math, which may stem from last night's beer drinking endeavor in a Boston parking lot. After Thursday night's 12-4 loss for the Spartacus softball juggernaut, the team gathered in the...
The Philadelphia Phillies Are The Best Team In Baseball
The Philadelphia Phillies have spent the better part of their weekend shellacking the pitching staff of the St. Louis Cardinals. Saturday the Phillies hammered the Cards into submission, 14-6, and things didn't improve much Sunday afternoon when Philadelphia laid the hammer to...
The New York Mets: Minaya and Bernazard
The New York Mets under the leadership of general manager Omar Minaya have shown the baseball world how not to run a major league franchise. After Friday night's 5-4 road loss to the Houston Astros, the Mets are playing .463 baseball and are trailing the NL East Philadelphia Phillies...
A Polish-American Friday Fish Fry
I once shared an elevator with Professor Gates, which gives me no more insight into his arrest by the Cambridge Police Dept. than anyone else.
Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe", CNBC blowhard Jim Cramer made the comment that when he attended Harvard in the 1970s African...
WBCN The Rock of Boston
In the 1980s the Buggles created a hit with "Video Killed The Radio Star." Video crippled radio, but it did not make music extinct on the FM dial. If the Buggles were to rewrite their hit today, it would be titled "The iPod Killed The Radio Star."

MLB: Wearing A Nutty Buddy Watching The All-Star Game
I'm typing this dressed in my compression shorts sans shirt, with a recently purchased Nutty Buddy protecting me from any low blow blogging posts. Paired with the compression shorts and cutting-edge Nutty Buddy, I have chosen to wear some sold school black stirrups. Of course,...
Hush Hush
Let me understand this, there was a Top Secret For Dick Cheney's Eyes Only C.I.A. sponsored program, that was established to assassinate terrorists in foreign lands and not one member of Congress knew about it. How does that actually work in a democracy?
MLB: Bannister vs. Lester = Old School Baseball
Last night's action at Friendly Fenway was obscured by the San Francisco Giants Jonathan Sanchez throwing a no-hitter at AT&T Park, but Kansas City's Brian Bannister and Boston's Jon Lester were nearly as impressive dueling in the Sox's 1-0 win under a star lit Boston sky.
Mets Trade Ryan Church for Jeff Francouer
The Newark Star-Ledger's M.A. Mehta provides a solid analysis of today's deal between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves on nj.com. In a nutshell, the two teams swapped right fielders. (I'll give you my Barcalounger for your La-Z-Boy.) Los Mets parted with Ryan Church...
A Sleepy Friday Fish Fry
Friday afternoons in the summer can feel like Mayberry, U.S.A. Nothin' goin' on, nowhere to go to ... just another sleepy, sunny Friday afternoon in the Northeast with the Ramones playing on the radio. A rainy and dank June made the best among us reach for the anti-depressant...
Baseball: Oliver Perez Is The Next Rudi Stein
Wednesday night was spent watching the Mannywood Los Angeles Dodgers take on the New York Mets at Citi Field. After spending over three hours watching this baseball boondoggle in Flushing, here are some thoughts on the Mets 5-4 win:
Dead, Drunk and Naked
It's been more than a month since my last post and I'm sure my loyal legion of readers are lost without my pearls of wisdom and rants of apoplectic fury. We're all searching for a path to follow and Lord knows this blog ain't taking you to meet St. Peter at the Pearly...
Why I Blog? The Bling
At times, I wonder why I started a blog. Was it to score with MILFS or bag a few young ladies looking for Daddy Dearest types? Was it the positive financial impact on my bank account's bottom line or am I blogging to provide the nation with a Sheridan stimulus package? Am I blogging...
What Am I Listening To Right Now? Wilco and Fleet Foxes
For the last few weeks, I've put The Band's debut album "Music from Big Pink" on heavy rotation. Driving in the car I'm listening to it, working on the computer I've got its songs ringing through the house and watching a ballgame I have the sound muted...
The NBA Is Turning Into The United Nations
I cannot express enough how I loathe what is going on in the NBA, in regards to the officiating, and the league-wide mandates emanating from Commissioner David Stern's league office in Manhattan. Today the Orlando Magic were told that Dwight Howard's sixth technical, assessed...
What Am I Listening To Right Now? Lucinda Williams
This is from Lucinda Williams' 2008 release, "Little Honey", which is coincidentally Sheridan's Album of the Year for 2008. Lucinda closes the album with a great cover of AC/DC's rock anthem "It's A Long Way To The Top" that I...
NBA: LeBron vs. The Turkish Michael Jordan
Friday night LeBron James moved a chapter closer to basketball immortality with a game-winning three-pointer that rocked Cleveland, shocked Orlando and evened the series at 1-1. With one second remaining on the NBA Game 2 Eastern Conference Finals timepiece, James waged hand-to-hand...
NBA: LeBron Mania Grips Cleveland
This is how a local Friday night newscast ended in Cleveland. After the sportscaster blows a gasket, check out the guy dancing in the background.
Memorial Day Musings
When did all of the baseball games televised on Memorial Day disappear? Didn't ESPN used to show a whole slew of games on Memorial Day? For a sports fix, I resorted to watching the NCAA national championship in lacrosse, which I sometimes watch, but how about a little more of the...
NBA Notes
LeBron James is the baddest dude on the planet, but even 49 points couldn't carry the Cavs to a win versus the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron was great, but the rest of the team appeared to be playing under the influence of a food coma.
