This week is not the misery Michael Felger makes it out to be, but between bumper-to-bumper traffic, long lines at the register, and various ill-wills we hurl at each other in a Christmas panic exacerbated by last weekend's snowout, one thing is alarming. Folks, when did Boston become a five-team sports town? Parking lots with … Continue reading Week Log: Dreaming of a Partisan Christmas
Week Log: The Ink Is Flowing At The Fens
It had been a slow first month of the free agent season for the Sox - including a non-event at the winter meetings in Indy - but the stove is heating up now with one trade in the works, another on everybody's minds, and two big free agent signings formalized yesterday.

Sox and Pats: Bridging To Nowhere?
We're hearing a lot of talk these days about the Patriots being in a bridge year as they break in a new generation of defender, ideally under the cloak of a machine-like offense that was supposed to cover up the growing pains. Now, in case you missed it yesterday, Tony Massarotti had the Sox in … Continue reading Sox and Pats: Bridging To Nowhere?
More Fall-Out From A Party Gone Bad

Week Log: Patriots Are Just Another Team

Week Log: Belichick, On His Terms
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
Week Log: Another Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
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. Sure, if the other guy wins, that means our guy doesn't, but it's also very much about who that other guy is. It took a summer … Continue reading Week Log: Another Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
