Yes, I hurled all manner of verbal abuse at my TV on Sunday night and, yes, my wife walked out on me for the last 13 seconds. In fact, she got so flustered that she forgot to take our youngest with her, leaving him to ask to no one in particular, "Why is daddy so … Continue reading Week Log: Belichick, On His Terms

If part of your life is defined by the Boston sports experience as is mine, then any year involving both a Lakers and Yankees championship can't be completely good.

Last Sunday's Sox-Pats double-implosion has put everyone in a tizzy all week, and the media looking for clever ways to introduce 'Black Sunday' into Hub lexicon.

Not that it ever crept too close to shore anyway, but the 2009 A.L. East ship has sailed for good in a week when the Sox continue to struggle against an MLB weakling and the Yankees get some answers to their questions. Better Red Than Dead counts Kansas City among the cities in which Boston … Continue reading Week Log: A Heavy Dose of Reality

It's been a week of comebacks, as the Patriots turned an 11-point deficit into a one-point victory in the final 2:06 on Monday and the Red Sox followed with three hits, two walks, and two runs - all with two outs in the ninth - to win last night. Let's go to the gridiron first. … Continue reading Week Log: One Good Turn Deserves Another

Week Log is back in its regular time slot to drop in on our blogging friends once again. Thanks for all your patience over the last couple of weeks. We're going to lead off with football for a change, as the NFL season opens tonight. And what better place to start than with the defending … Continue reading Week Log: Changing Of The Guard

Two straight in Toronto and a two-game improvement in the wildcard race as the Sox leapfrog Texas will lead us off this fine Thursday afternoon. On an even more optimistic note, Rich Levine says to forget 2006, as these Sox are more comparable to the 2004 club that got things rolling five years ago nearly … Continue reading Week Log: For Sox, Deja Vu All Over Again?
