Week Log: Eulogy For The Common Team
After watching victories by both the greasy Cowboys and greasier Jets the day before, I couldn't wait for a Sunday morning shower. Somewhere between the soap and shampoo my wife broke in with good news: a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to sit in the third row on the 50-yard line for the Ravens game at Gillette. Yeah, … Continue reading Week Log: Eulogy For The Common Team
Celtics Get a Breather Against Nets
The Celtics tipped off against the hapless New Jersey Nets last night, and the outcome was never in doubt, as the Nets never even attempted to play defense. The Celtics were up 71-35 at halftime, and rolled to a 111-87 victory. Frank Dell’Apa has the Celtics getting more of a workout in the gym the morning … Continue reading Celtics Get a Breather Against Nets
Disappointment Still Lingering
The postmortems on the 2009 Patriots continue... Karen Guregian looks at how the Patriots defense might be fixed, position-by-position.

Celtics Can’t Overcome Hawks, Refs
Last night was a prime example of why some people think the NBA is a joke. When the mild-mannered Mike Gorman, who goes out of his way to try and not criticize the officials, lest he encourage or validate the emotional outbursts of broadcast partner Tommy Heinsohn, is verbally scratching his head in wonderment over just what the referees … Continue reading Celtics Can’t Overcome Hawks, Refs
Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”
While most of us were prepared for the fact that the Patriots season might come to an end yesterday, I don't think anyone forsaw the first quarter dismantling that the Baltimore Ravens laid on Tom Brady and the Patriots. It was 24-0 Ravens seemingly in the blink of an eye, as the Ravens dominated and the Patriots collapsed … Continue reading Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”

Getting Ready For the Playoffs Top Ten
I've been somewhat bemused this week as I've seen columns and heard radio announcers warning Patriots fans not to be overconfident heading into this weekend, and not to overlook how dangerous this Ravens team is. Talk about not knowing your audience. I don't think any Patriots fan is overconfident about this team. I think most think they … Continue reading Getting Ready For the Playoffs Top Ten
