This week's edition of Patriots Football Weekly (owned by the team). Nice. It might be a stretch to say that the Patriots are "using" PFW to send a message, but as the paper is a house publication, they at least approve of the the suggestion here. I guess this is as good a time as … Continue reading Patriots Use PFW To Protest Non-Call At End Of Panthers Game

Tedious Francona/Farrell Debate Continues
Sports radio knows how to take a subject the general public really does not care that deeply about and turn it into hours, days of outrage and caterwauling.

Montville Returns, Celtics Anger Tankers, and New Deals For T&R
Sunday's return of Leigh Montville to the Globe's Sports section was a most welcome surprise. Since he started writing columns for SportsOnEarth they have become a must-read, and had me wondering "what if" Montville had remained with the Globe and been their "star" columnist instead of Dan Shaughnessy.

Chris Gasper actually wrote "The worst 6-2 team in NFL history bumped its record to 7-2 at its intermission with a 55-31 demolition of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Gillette Stadium." I apologize in advance to Gasper if he is just being sarcastic. I'm having a hard time … Continue reading “The worst 6-2 team in NFL history” Wins Again
Dan Shaughnessy Wants You To Know You Were Wrong, Too.
Poor Dan Shaughnessy. He's feeling persecuted right now. All you get-a-lifers are coming after him, and making him feel bad. Being wrong is OK by me, but I was bombarded Thursday by fans consumed with a message of, “You need to eat crow!
