Well, for the next 10 days or so, anyway. Once again in the "Bruce's great timing" department, I'm heading out this afternoon for some family time. I'll be gone the rest of this week and all of next week. I might chime in on Twitter from time to time @BruceAllen but for at least part … Continue reading You’re On Your Own, Kids.
Broncos Will Be Tougher Foe This Time Around
Sunday's performance against the Steelers opened some eyes as Tim Tebow threw over 300 yards and connected on several long passes, and threaded the needle on a couple others. Preparing for the Broncos is no longer solely about stopping the option and the run. Air about Tim Tebow now - Karen Guregian has the Patriots defense … Continue reading Broncos Will Be Tougher Foe This Time Around
Wait, The Broncos Once Hired A Fired Coach From A Rival Team Midseason? Yup.
While the national and Denver (and some in New England) media continue their handwringing over the Patriots hiring Josh McDaniels (which they were in the process of doing before it was known they would play Denver) Lindsay H. Jones in the Denver Post points out that in 1989, Mike Shanahan was fired as coach of the Raiders … Continue reading Wait, The Broncos Once Hired A Fired Coach From A Rival Team Midseason? Yup.
Patriots/Broncos II On Tap For Divisional Weekend
So it will be the Patriots and Broncos on Saturday night to play for a spot in the AFC Championship Game. I'm undecided at the moment what path sports radio and TV will take here. Do they talk all week about how there is no way the Patriots can lose this game, while secretly hoping … Continue reading Patriots/Broncos II On Tap For Divisional Weekend

Morning Links, “Storified.”

I would just suggest reloading the page if it doesn't work immediately. If the content below isn't showing up at … Continue reading Morning Links, “Storified.”
“Cap is Crap” And Other Felger Fallacies
I received this email from Dave Formato this morning, and felt it too good not to share. Thanks Dave! I found a tweet by Jane McManus yesterday be very revealing as it pertains to our very own sports talk radio personas (mostly one Michael Felger). Now to be honest, I generally like him as a whole (more so … Continue reading “Cap is Crap” And Other Felger Fallacies
Worst. 13-3. Team. Ever.
On a day in which Patriots' family business was being settled all over the league, Godfather style - Jets imploding, Polians getting fired in Indy - talk on the local airwaves was again how the Patriots SUCK at drafting, and how their 13-3 record is fraudulent because they didn't beat anyone with a winning record. (Maybe the Patriots … Continue reading Worst. 13-3. Team. Ever.
2011 Boston Sports Media Year In Review

We're also closing in on 10 years of BSMW, which will happen in April. Looking back at 2011, what do you think were … Continue reading 2011 Boston Sports Media Year In Review
Celtics Put Up A Fight, But Can’t Beat Heat
The aged and depleted Celtics put up quite a fight last night in Miami, giving the front-running Heat and their fans something to sweat about when they cut what had been a 20-point Miami lead to three points with two minutes remaining. However, in the customary fourth-quarter disappearance of LeBron James, rookie Norris Cole stepped up … Continue reading Celtics Put Up A Fight, But Can’t Beat Heat
