The Bob Lobel experiment on WBZ radio this week has interesting, to say the least. Sadly though, it must come to an end, as WBZ has tapped veteran Walt Perkins to take over the morning sports role opened up by the retirement of Gil Santos. Perkins rejoined the WBZ in 2001, he had worked at … Continue reading Perkins Tapped To Replace Santos on WBZ AM Sports
Milbury Riles ‘Em Up
I'll admit, I'm a little lax in covering the hockey media around here, however, up until this season, Bruins announcers and commentators could say just about anything on the air, and it wouldn't cause a stir. It hasn't gotten a whole lot of play locally, (or I just haven't paid enough attention - entirely possible) but … Continue reading Milbury Riles ‘Em Up
Lakers Get Better Of Celtics, Again
We can blame the officials, who once again made a number of curious calls that influenced the outcome of a big NBA game, but really, the Celtics can only blame themselves for their 110-109 overtime defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, who have now swept the season series from the defending champs. … Continue reading Lakers Get Better Of Celtics, Again

Week Blog: Hot Tempers, Cool Weather
Blame it all on Punxsutawney Phil. The little rodent sees his shadow on Monday morning and everyone's mood sours. Sure enough, by Tuesday night I'm out shoveling more snow. And I'm mad. Not Batman-raving mad, but definitely something north of plain-vanilla peed off. For one thing, there's Phil's droppings all over my driveway. Then, there's … Continue reading Week Blog: Hot Tempers, Cool Weather

Dennis and Felger Taking Heat for “Bromance” Talk
