Watching Peter King
Disclaimer: The point of this post is by no means to discredit what the Philadelphia Eagles did on draft weekend. They clearly made some nice moves. The motivation is to shine the light on Peter King for being something of a hypocrite for his gushing praise at the Eagles for doing the very same thing that … Continue reading Watching Peter King
Blog Rally to Help the Boston Globe
How did that headline grab you? An email passed into my inbox last night letting me know about a proposed movement called a "blog rally" aimed at throwing support at the Boston Globe and attempting to "save the Globe from the barbarians down in New York." What is a "blog rally" you say? A blog … Continue reading Blog Rally to Help the Boston Globe

Steroids Latest Media Bore
OK. I'll admit it. I didn't watch or listen to a second of the A-Rod press conference today. Further, I didn't watch the A-Rod sit-down with Peter Gammons last week, either. "Wait," you say, "you run a sports media website, shouldn't you be all over these events?" Probably. But truth be told, I lost interest … Continue reading Steroids Latest Media Bore

Lest We Forget
How sweet is THAT? A few random, rambling thoughts: The Kevin Garnett/Bill Russell exchange following the game had me tearing up even while chills were running down my spine. Quite a weird sensation, but it's one I wouldn't mind having a few more times in my lifetime. Garnett's hanging in the air, one handed line … Continue reading Lest We Forget
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
Herald, Massarotti Continue Alienation of Readers
There will be no approval ratings today. Instead, we're going with this analysis of the Boston Herald's ongoing apology. Has the Boston Herald been carefully orchestrating this whole walkthrough apology in order to generate the most attention (and revenue)? It would appear so. Yes, I certainly wanted more from the paper than simply the statement that … Continue reading Herald, Massarotti Continue Alienation of Readers
