How long before all teams use the Bill Belichick/Patriots method of dealing with the media? The day is coming, I'm telling you. Yes, there are those in sports who enjoy using the media and cozying up to them to get fawning coverage, whether they actually deserve it or not. There are many more, I believe, … Continue reading Burned By Scorching Hot Sportz Takes
Patriots 2015 Mock Draft (Names-To-Positions Edition)
We haven't had a ton of success predicting New England's draft choices (Jake Bequette in 2012 the lone exception), but we've done a fair job figuring what positions they'll look for in certain spots. We'll keep that in mind for this spring as we take our shots. For previous 2015 mocks, you can see our … Continue reading Patriots 2015 Mock Draft (Names-To-Positions Edition)

Revis Fallout Continues…
The Bruins and Celtics have had exciting wins this week, and the Red Sox are ramping up towards opening day.

But if there is one thing that we've learned … Continue reading Here We Go Again…
Twitter, Cap and JaVale, Oh My!
Help me out here. So John Dennis and Gerry Callahan, who were once suspended for making racist remarks on the air, Kirk Minihane, who was suspended for calling a woman a "gutless bitch" and saying she should "drop dead" on the air, and John Tomase, who forced his paper to issue a public retraction and … Continue reading Twitter, Cap and JaVale, Oh My!
Young Celtics Can’t Hang On Against Warriors
The Celtics ran out to a 26 point lead against the team many believe is the best in the NBA right now, the Golden State Warriors.
