As most of my punditry (and posting) is being done via Twitter these days - look in the right hand sidebar for proof - I thought I'd put together a list of people who I have apparently angered so much that they felt the need to block me. I only bring this up because, if … Continue reading The Blocklist – Thursday on BSMW
I was sure this was a hoax. Nope. We created logos for 10 NFL stars What, no switch logo for Adrian Peterson? No Adderall bottle for the Legion of Boom? How come the Von Miller one doesn't somehow show him bribing an NFL drug tester? How about some play on how the stars in the … Continue reading ESPN Unveils New Tom Brady Logo
No, not Jackie Bradley Jr, who unfortunately had his hitting streak snapped at 29 games last night. I don't really mean Xander Bogaerts, who increased his streak to 19 games last night. Clay Buchholz's streak of lousy performances however, is alive and well. Also alive and well is the ability of sports radio hosts to make … Continue reading The Streak Continues
So here's my question: If Roger Goodell is "really not focused" on the Tom Brady appeal and he "didn’t see the report" from Congress on the NFL interfering with the concussion study, what exactly has he been doing? https://vine.co/v/i9qp0lKtx3m Furthermore, if he "didn’t see the report," (he said it TWICE) how was he able to … Continue reading My Question
Catching up following a recent sojourn to Jamaica... I like the new formatting for the Boston Globe sports articles. It's a nice, clean, easy to read look. In a time when web pages are cramming as much as possible onto a page, it's nice to be able to see something like this. HOW BOSTON CAUGHT … Continue reading Tuesday Quick Hits
I realize that Upton Bell has not been relevant for at least 25 years, perhaps he was never relevant, but some Tweets he put out last night really sum up the hotsportztakes movement in a microcosm. https://twitter.com/uptonbell/status/730794741445627904 The Red Sox had won 4 in a row heading into last night's game, were atop the division … Continue reading For Whom The Bell Tolls
Catching up on a couple things from the last week or so... ESPN made four correct personnel moves in one day? Moving Sean McDonough to the play-by-play voice of Monday Night Football. (Reportedly) Not bringing back Cris "Fall Guy" Carter and Ray "White Suit" Lewis. Adding Randy Moss to NFL Countdown. What is happening? Mike Ditka … Continue reading Wednesday Quickie
Almost every year, New England finds an undrafted free agent to fill out their roster. Some, like guard Stephen Neal, work their way up to starter. Others, like cornerback Malcolm Butler, seem to burst onto the scene all at once. Right now, Butler, punter Ryan Allen, guard Josh Kline, center David Andrews, running back Brandon … Continue reading Who’s The FA? UDFA! (2016 Edition)
Predicting New England's draft picks provides more setbacks than predicting spring weather (Hello there, 70 degrees! Nice to see you, sleet!). However, forecasting what types of players they usually pick has gotten easier. In our previous, pre-draft "That Guy" piece, we touched on several different kinds of athletes the Patriots tend to bring into the fold. … Continue reading Patriots “That Guy” 2016 Draft Review
It's May 2nd, and your Boston Red Sox are a half-game in first place in the A.L. East following an 8-7 win at Fenway Park last night. David Price continued his early season struggles, but again received the run support needed to move to 4-0 on the year. While the WEEI morning show continues to … Continue reading Sox In First After Sweep of Yankees
