Manny Ramirez returned to Boston this past weekend, and no one cared. The fact that the Celtics had just dropped game seven of the NBA Finals probably contributed to the lack of talk about Manny's return, but even this weekend, when the focus could be squarely on the events at Fenway Park, there didn't seem … Continue reading Manny’s Return – A Big Yawn
Celtics Just Can’t Finish, Lakers Are World Champs
In a microcosm of their season, the Celtics couldn't hold on to a double-digit third quarter lead, and fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 83-79 in game seven of the NBA Finals. The Celtics were in full control of this game, dominating the Lakers in every area except rebounds which was how the Lakers hung … Continue reading Celtics Just Can’t Finish, Lakers Are World Champs
Dennis & Callahan in 2018
If they're still around in 10 years, I'm pretty sure the show will sound something like this... 6:00am - John Dennis: On the show today we'll talk with Patriots head coach Josh McDaniels, who is continuing to experiment with the two-quarterback backfield, still trying to fill the void from when Tom Brady retired 4 years … Continue reading Dennis & Callahan in 2018
Why Spygate Is The Most Disgraceful Episode In Recent Sports Media History
Lets get this out of the way first -Bill Belichick and the Patriots broke the rules. There is no disputing that. They were punished for it. Yes, I'm trying to put this all behind me, but I think it's important to review just how disgraceful the behaviour of national media was during this whole episode, and attempt … Continue reading Why Spygate Is The Most Disgraceful Episode In Recent Sports Media History
My Evening With Bob Lobel
Greetings once again from the West coast headquarters of BSMW in American Canyon, CA. I was out getting coffee this morning, and switched on KNBR, the huge sports radio station out here in the Bay Area. To my surprise, at that moment, the topic of conversation was... Bob Lobel. WBZ's decision to let Lobel go … Continue reading My Evening With Bob Lobel
How I Would Improve The MSM Sports Blogs
Within the last few weeks I listed out what I thought were The Five Best Media Blogs in Boston as well as The Five Worst Media Blogs in Boston. Again, these were only sports blogs that are operated by a Mainstream Media outlet. At a future time, I might do a "best of" for independent … Continue reading How I Would Improve The MSM Sports Blogs
Globe Magazine Takes Its Shots At Belichick
In the Boston Globe Magazine this morning, Doug Most has the latest rip job on Bill Belichick. What an original subject. And timely, too. Let's kick the guy further while we can. He states as fact: The only reason Boston sports fans have put up with Belichick's act is because he's won, not because they … Continue reading Globe Magazine Takes Its Shots At Belichick
The Five Best Media Blogs in Boston
This is the followup to last week's collection of The Five Worst Media Blogs in Boston. This list was much harder to put together. There were so many good candidates, and also some choices and distinctions to make. I wanted the list to be blogs that were run by Main Stream Media (MSM) outlets, which … Continue reading The Five Best Media Blogs in Boston
The Five Worst Media Blogs in Boston

Everywhere you turn there is a traditional media outlet trying to to enter the digital age by putting out a new blog, with a media member trying to latch onto this new form of information distribution.

Column – If BSMW was Full-Time…
As most of you know, this website is only a part-time venture for me. I still have to work full-time, and because of that, I'm not able to do as much as I might like on the site. Many days my work here is limited to daily links which I put together before I go … Continue reading Column – If BSMW was Full-Time…
