Kudos To Globe For Brady Coverage
I singled out WEEI and the Boston Herald this morning for their sensationalistic and doomsday coverage of Tom Brady's knee situation. I should've also mentioned that I'm pleased with the even-handed way the Boston Globe has covered the matter. Yesterday, when WEEI was "reporting" every 20 minutes that the Patriots were upset with Brady for … Continue reading Kudos To Globe For Brady Coverage

Boston In The World Series

These show crowds gathered around a high-tech "electric scoreboard" for the 1912 World Series between Boston and New York: Since the Washington Post was sponsoring this scoreboard, I'm assuming the photos are from D.C. Getting these type of "real … Continue reading Boston In The World Series

The Patriots officially placed Rodney Harrison on injured reserve yesterday, officially ending his 2008 season. To replace his spot on the roster, the team activated safety Antwain Spann from the practice squad. No move to bring a veteran such as John Lynch or Ty Law appears to be in the works.

For the second night in a row, the Bruins battled hard, only to fall in the shootout portion of overtime, this time 3-2 to the Buffalo Sabres. Fluto Shinzawa has head coach Claude Julien happy with his club's effort, but feeling as if he's living the movie Groundhog Day.
