When cruch time rolled around, it was 38-year-old Shaquille O'Neal who gave them a spark, and Ray Allen hit a big shot late in the game to help the Celtics to a 86-82 win over the Detroit … Continue reading Celtics Grind Out Win Over Pistons, Brady To Have Surgery

Some In The Media Don’t Even Try To Be Accurate Anymore
From the Washington Post: It's hard to choose anyone to root for in this most compelling matchup of the weekend. Belichick is a certified cheater, having been fined a huge chunk of change three years ago when the NFL determined his team improperly filmed walk-throughs of opposing team practices and used that tape to their … Continue reading Some In The Media Don’t Even Try To Be Accurate Anymore
Jets Keep Talking, Cone of Silence Engulfs Foxborough
The Jets can't help themselves. They just can't. Given an opportunity they will always talk trash. It is who they are, and you can argue that it has worked for them.

It's a … Continue reading Jets Keep Talking, Cone of Silence Engulfs Foxborough
