Two things I love, and have been anticipating for months now, have finally started this past week: Boston Celtics basketball and AMC’s phenomenal TV show Walking Dead. Now I’m not sure if the show’s Executive Producer Glen Mazzara and NBA Commissioner David Stern collaborated to bring me this confluence of visual ecstasy, but whoever is responsible, I am more grateful ...

For everyone still wondering – the debate is over. For all of those Peyton Manning apologists out there, just please shut up! The win on Sunday not only improved Brady’s total dominance in their head-to-head match ups, but also should finally silence all of the chatter that always surfaces when these two face off against one another. Tom Brady owns ... Read More »
New York Jets players are dropping like flies this season, and it really has me concerned. First it was Darelle Revis. Then it was Stephen Hill. And the most recent casualty: Santonio Holmes. As if things weren’t already bad enough for the Jets, while getting shut out by the 49ers this past Sunday, after hauling in one of Mark Sanchez’s ... Read More »
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, after dropping the ball in an atrociously officiated Sunday night game, these NFL “replacement” officials went ahead and dropped an atomic bomb on the Green Bay Packers at the conclusion of the Monday Night Football game. If Bill Belichick and the Patriots thought they were jilted, Mike McCarthy and the Packers ... Read More »
Here’s a message for Patriots fans out there still fuming from New England’s shocking loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday: Settle down. Trust me. I get it. And I’m CC’ing myself on that memo as well. I’m not passing judgment either, because I’m just as guilty as anyone on the emotional overreaction. I was right there along with everyone ... Read More »
I’m still waiting for someone to pinch me. I know it was only one game, but the glimpses the Patriots defense showed on Sunday was absolutely sublime. The NFL is a league that breeds overreaction from one week to the next, so I am trying my best to refrain from participating in this activity, but watching that dominating performance against ...

So this is what it feels like to be an Orioles fan. Ever since last year’s demonstrative celebration after a meaningless walk-off win over the Red Sox in game 162 of the 2011 season to finish with a record of 69-93, I was wondering what the big deal was. I never really understood it, but now the 2012 Red Sox ... Read More »
Now that Ben Cherington has had time to stuff his ski mask back into the drawer after pulling off one of the greatest heists in baseball history, it’s time take a step back and analyze this deal to determine what the next step forward for the Sox should be. Unloading Beckett and Crawford is obviously the most unbelievable aspect of ... Read More »
Am I the only who thinks the Red Sox still need a right-handed, power-hitting right fielder for the 2012 season? Even if the Red Sox were in the market for one, you wouldn’t know it. The Sox have stood silent on the sidelines while names like Josh Willingham, Michael Cuddyer and Carlos Beltran have signed fairly manageable contracts elsewhere. Although ... Read More »
The Dwight Howard saga, which carried on longer than an offseason Bill Belichick shopping spree at Hoodie World, finally came to a conclusion this past week. In an entirely confusing and convoluted four-team deal, Dwight Howard, after several months of whining and crying, finally got his wish, as he was traded from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers. ...
