In a somewhat surprising move, Jared Remy yesterday pleaded guilty to the murder of his girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Jennifer Martel. The plea avoids a very public and gruesome trial, which is good for the victim's family. Is it also good for Remy's father? By entering the plea and going to jail, the … Continue reading Does Jared Remy’s Guilty Plea Help His Dad?

Yesterday was the last edition of the Mut and Lou show on WEEI. Mike Mutnansky will soon transition over to the role previously held by John Ryder, working Red Sox broadcasts and last nights. All in all, it's not a horrible move for Mutnansky, who stays employed and gets a role that still gives him … Continue reading Media Links and Week Wrap

The Red Sox re-signed shortstop Stephen Drew yesterday, a move that has been called for by the media pretty much non-stop since the beginning of the season. A guy that many of these same media folks were snickering at when he was originally signed, they called for his benching when he struggled with his batting … Continue reading What Is The Fascination (if it is true) With Stephen Drew?

Part of me still suspects that at least some of this Joe Haggerty weirdo column and the Kirk Minihane hit piece today was done for … Continue reading Embarrassment All Around In Haggerty/ Minihane Incident

In the spirit of the mock draft being everywhere (including here) I've put together not one, but two mock drafts for your perusal today. The first draft is more of a "power-rankings" sort of thing. These are the top-30 most influential and powerful media personalities, not counting editors, producers, publishers, etc. These are the folks … Continue reading The 2014 Boston Sports Media Mock Draft (Non-NFL Edition)

The Bruins dropped game one of their second round series with the Montreal Canadiens at the Garden last night, falling 4-3 in double overtime. The Bruins had their chances to win this one, but couldn't get the big goal when it counted. As predictable as the sun coming up, Mr Bruins Dan Shaughnessy writes about … Continue reading Bruins Go Down In Double OT Game One Loss

They're wasting Tom Brady's Zdeno Chara's prime! He has maybe 3 or 4 years left at the very most and they don't have a replacement on the roster yet! What are they going to do when Brady Chara retires????  He doesn't have enough help! Belichick Chiarelli has been wasting draft picks and instead going for … Continue reading Bruins Window Slamming Shut

I guess we shouldn't be all that shocked, but now Boston sports radio and online columnists are taking their talking points from Montreal blogs? Dive Files: The Bruins are the NHL's uncontested emperors of embellishment I've heard Felger and Mazz, Mike Mutnansky, Adam Jones and, over on Boston.com, Eric Wilbur tell us that the Bruins can't … Continue reading Bruins Set To Flop Around Against Canadiens Tomorrow Night
