BSMW Poll – Morning Link Preferences
Lately, I've made a change in how I present the morning links to you. For years, I got up and tried to get you a link to every single sports story out there in New England that dealt with one of our pro teams, and occasionally college as well. For the last couple of months, … Continue reading BSMW Poll – Morning Link Preferences
Reviewing the Decade – Top Boston Sports Media Episodes
I'm hoping to spend some time over the next couple of weeks reviewing the decade that was in the Boston sports media. These episodes aren't neccesarily the biggest sports moments of the decade (though some are) but more about storylines that impacted the media, or times when the media completely blew something out of proportion. … Continue reading Reviewing the Decade – Top Boston Sports Media Episodes
Mid-Day Quick Links
The Patriots links this morning were pretty extensive, so I didn't have much of a chance to get to other stuff.

It is more than just simply posting inane messages about where you are … Continue reading Twitter Links
Gammons, McDonough Lead in Columnists Poll
In a minor surprise, (at least to me) Peter Gammons and Will McDonough are currently the leaders in the All Time Boston Sports Columnists poll, which was posted on Monday. I had originally not planned on including either one, as they are mostly associated with a single sport, (Gammons on Baseball, McDonough on Football, though … Continue reading Gammons, McDonough Lead in Columnists Poll
Smoltz Shaky in Sox Debut
It was a rocky first inning in a Boston Red Sox uniform for John Smoltz, who gave up four runs on four hits in the frame. On the other side, Jordan Zimmermann, who was born almost a year to the day after Smoltz was drafted by the Detroit Tigers had his way with the Red … Continue reading Smoltz Shaky in Sox Debut
Patriots Daily Gets a New Look
You may have noticed that over the weekend, we flipped the switch on a new site design for Patriots Daily - our blog covering the New England Patriots. The new design is much more modern, with more images and an easier to navigate interface. The site has also been uncluttered to a large degree, removing many … Continue reading Patriots Daily Gets a New Look
Update on Worst Boston Sports Column Voting
After 500 votes, the Ron Borges draft column from 2001 is the leader in the clubhouse for worst Boston sports column in recent memory. Borges' mocking the Patriots drafting of Richard Seymour and Matt Light over such NFL luminaries such as Koren Robinson and Robert Ferguson currently has 29% of the vote.
