Hindsight is always a fun activity to engage in. Let's look at this March column from Kevin Paul Dupont for instance: Jarome Iginla made the right call The finger-wags that Dupont takes within the column at Bruins fans are outstanding: Anyone faulting, or even questioning, Jarome Iginla’s decision to drop himself into the Pittsburgh lineup … Continue reading Odds and Ends As We Prep For The Cup Finals

The Bruins look to finish off the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight in game four. Only the most miserable people in existence are bothering to bring up the collapse against the Flyers up 3-0 back in 2010. A couple quick things today as I wrap up a very busy real world week. (rollout of a Shortel VOIP … Continue reading Bruins Look To Close Things Out, Return To Stanley Cup Finals

There's no other way to put it. The Bruins came out last night and just laid the wood on the Pittsburgh Penguins, dominating them throughout (though Felger said he was "frustrated" with the Bruins in the 2nd period.) in a 6-1 victory to go up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Steve Conroy has the … Continue reading Domination.

Tyler Seguin has not been an offensive force in this postseason. We can say he's underachieved in terms of what he's capable of doing offensively. No problems with saying that. I just find it a bit distasteful that every time I've turned on the radio since the Bruins 3-0 win over the Penguins Saturday night … Continue reading Bruins Look Good, But Don’t Forget, Tyler Seguin Sucks

Alleged comedian Dane Cook has lower ratings than Dennis and Callahan this morning after stiffing an on-line audience out of his performance on the Boston Strong benefit last night. Boston Herald Patriots reporter Jeff Howe led the charge against Cook on twitter last night, earning him a round of attaboys from his fellow sports media … Continue reading Today’s Sports Radio Villain – Dane Cook

ESPN announced yesterday that they have signed a multi-year deal to broadcast New England Patriots games on ESPN Radio outside of the New England market. The Patriots radio network flag-shipped by 98.5 The SportsHub will still have exclusive rights in this market, but Patriots fans who live outside of New England will get more opportunities … Continue reading ESPN Radio To Carry Patriots Games, Tuesday Media Notebook

A few days off, some actual sunshine yesterday, has put me into a much better mood to open up the week. While last week I was cranky and took it out on the local sports media, today, we'll turn it around and look at some positives: I like it when Dennis and Callahan (featuring Kirk … Continue reading On A Happier Note…

Ugh. Death, Taxes and Boston sports radio. About the only things in life which are completely predictable. The Bruins take a 3-0 series lead, and then drop game four in overtime. Ergo, since they once blew a 3-0 series lead and lost a series after losing game four in overtime, this MUST be history repeating … Continue reading Bruins Blow Series. Season Over

It's over. https://twitter.com/Feldman985/status/337028637872230400 I'm always amazed at the ability of some people to immediately hone in on the negative. In sports media, it's the people involved with sports radio and television who feel the need to create something negative out of a very impressive performance by the Boston Bruins last night. Whether it is the … Continue reading Bruins Take 3-0 Lead, On Brink Of Losing Series

For some reason, I'm a foul mood today. Don't know why. It might be what passes for sports radio/TV in this town these days. Nothing but faux controversies and studio-gangsters talking tough. Here's a partial list of things I'm not interested in these days: I'm not interested in Dennis and Callahan talking about eating feces, … Continue reading Time For The Annoyed Rant
