Celtics’ Ubuntu Too Much for Lebron & Cavs
A team effort pushes the Boston Celtics into the conference finals against last year’s foe the Orland Magic. With Lebron James facing the potential spectre of his last game in Cleveland, the Cavaliers bench couldn’t keep up with solid performances from the C’s bench. Lebron did his part with a triple-double, but the team defense [...]
New York Knicks, New York Knicks!
Bill Simmons came up with a great idea last week, a twitter account for Celtics fans to get live chant ideas. The first chant idea is simple, relevant and very chanty. During Lebron James’ first trip to the free throw line (and following trips), Celtics fans should chant “New York Knicks, New York Knicks”. Brilliant. [...]
Bo Jackson has nothing on Jason Varitek
At least according to Boston Mayor Tom Menino, who attributes a Super Bowl winning kick to none other than Red Sox captain Jason Varitek. Who could forget that historic call “Varitek splits the uprights! Varitek splits the uprights…and the New England Patriots are World Champions!” Congrats V-Tek on your newly discovered accomplishment! Oh, and congrats [...]
How Will Tennis Elbow Affect Lebron James?
After getting home from the Boston Celtics Game 5 victory over the Miami Heat, I flipped on the tube to catch the last minutes of the Cleveland Cavaliers – Chicago Bulls matchup. I watched, gleefully, as Lebron James shot free throws to clinch the win and the series. Now, I am not one of those [...]
Major League Leap in Real Life

Super Bowl 44 Predictions
After an exciting Pro Bowl (actually, was it, I didn’t watch it) we arrive at the last game of the season, the Super Bowl! I will say that it just feels right having the season truly end with the Super Bowl and I hope the NFL keeps this new schedule going forward. This is it, [...]
NFL Conference Championship Predictions 2010
We’re one round away from the Super Bowl! And who would have thought that the New York Jets would still be here, and better yet facing off in a rematch of the game that wasn’t a game against the Indianapolis Colts. I’m wondering if the Colts are having any reservations no about “playing it safe” [...]
NFL Divisional Predictions 2010
We’re back for Round 2 of the NFL playoffs. My New England Patriots got their butts whupped last week and so did all of us, as we each went 1-3 with out picks. Still, for now, there’s always next week, so without further ado, let’s get to the predictions. Jim Gaudet, the IT & SEO [...]

Tedy Bruschi says the Colts have No Guts
Tedy Bruschi sums up the difference between the Colts and Patriots quite eloquently: When you compare the ’09 Colts to the ’07 Patriots I’m gonna say something that a lot of people are thinking but won’t say it. At least the ’07 Patriots had the guts to go for it. That’s what they did, that’s [...]
Top 3 Reasons the Colts are NOT the Team of the Decade
During the Patriots-Jaguars game, the CBS announcers started debating who the team of the decade is. The argument went that the Colts have 115 wins, which is the most wins by any team in any decade, while the Patriots only have 111 wins. The announcers went on to pump up the importance of Super Bowl [...]
Colts Lose to Jets to Prepare for Playoffs
A quick post to talk about the Colts sitting Manning in today’s Jets game. Not much time to give my thoughts so here’s my thoughts in quick jot format. Colts don’t learn from Giants: Losses Do Not Motivate/Prepare for Playoffs First, look at this post’s title. Read it out loud. Doesn’t that sound absolutely ludicrous? [...]

Three Patriots Observations Headed Into the Bye Week
As the Patriots head into the bye week at 5-2, my predictions look solid. My guess was the Pats would be 5-3 at the halfway mark. The Pats ended up beating the Ravens and still think they’ll beat the Dolphins so I’ll end up off by one, but that’s a good thing. With the Pats [...]
Backbreaker Looks to Dethrone Madden
Ever since EA locked up the NFL license for ten years, the video game football community has suffered. You see, the year prior Sega Sports released a ridiculously good football game and even sold it for $20. That game, NFL 2K5, remains the best football game of the year. Yes, a five year old football [...]

NBA Finals Predictions
To be honest, all of our main writers here at Sports Fan 4 experienced a bit of basketball and hockey withdrawal after both the Bruins and Celtics were eliminated from the playoffs. It’s why you haven’t seen much chatter here about either sport’s continuing playoffs excitement. But today, we’ll offset that a bit and focus [...]
Steroids Did NOT Make Baseball Better
We recently ran a poll asking our readers, Did Steroids Make Baseball Better? We posted the poll after news broke that Manny Ramirez was suspended for using Performance Enhancing drugs.

Five Life Lessons From “He Hate Me”
Remember the XFL? That professional football league that WWF WWE owner, Vince McMahon, started back in 2001? No? Well, I don’t blame you, the XFL only lasted one season as it was mostly a gimmick with football as the side show. It would have been great if the quality of play improved enough to become [...]
