Rex Ryan's Jets Begin Trash Talk Early And Often
The trash talk by Rex Ryan started before the AFC Wildcard game a week ago. Ryan said, “No one studiesand stuff as much as Peyton Manning, I know Brady thinks he does”. It then continued after the Jets beat the Colts when Ryan commented on Brady going out to see a movie during the Jets-Colts [...]

Clear Some Seats On The Bandwagon Again
Move over and make some room for the pink hats, the footie pajamas and the bandwagon jumpers. The Patriots are currently 12-2 and one win or Jets, Steelers and Ravens loss away from clinching home field advantage for the playoffs with 2 games left in the regular season. The Red Sox just signed two of [...]
Cam Newton For Heisman
On Thursday night, Cam Newton won the Walter Camp Player of the Year award for being the best college football player for the 2010 season.

Wait 'Til This Year; The 2011 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox
It started with the trade for Adrian Gonzalez. The Boston Red Sox have been targeting Gonzo for the past few years and decided to pull the trigger and unload three prospects and a PTBNL to lock him up before he hit the free agent market at the end of the season. In a smart move [...]
P-A-T-S...You Know The Rest
In the Monday Night debacle that every Patriots and Jets fan alike thought was going to be the closest game ever turned out to be the 2nd highest margin of victory ever (42 points) on MNF. The Patriots destroyed the Jets 45-3. After all the hype, all the trash talk and all the slander, New [...]
NFL's Tackling Police On The Case
In the Sunday night game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts, the last straw was broken. The play was a simple seem route by Austin Collie which seemed to be matched up against a cover 2 zone or cover 2 man under, either way, there was underneath coverage with a safety over the top [...]
NBC Openly Hates New England, Loves Peyton Manning
It has come to my attention more this season than ever before. NBC, as well as the NFL, hate the New England Patriots and love the Inianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning is the face of the NFL and announcers on NBC react to his every pass as if he were the second coming of Jesus. For [...]

Utica College Drops Third Straight Going Into Finale
After their 30-6 loss to Ithaca College, head coach Blaise Faggiano and the Utica College Pioneers (5-3, 0-3 E8) travel to Hartwick College to take on the Hawks (2-5, 0-4 E8). Either way, one of these two teams are going to walk away with their first conference win of the season. It has been so [...]
Boston Celtics Tell The Truth
After an overtime buzzer beater, Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics have made it apparent that no matter what occurs this season, it’s the year for Banner number 18. The Celts picked up Shaquille O’Neal and Jermaine O’Neal to fill the void of the injured Kendrick Perkins at center. In my humble opinion, Jermaine O’Neal [...]
A Tale Of Two Goalies
The Boston Bruins are in the same situation as they were last season. We have two goalies that we can ride through the regular season and into the playoffs. There has been a tale of two goalies for the past two seasons and we began with Tim Thomas winning the Vezina Trophy in 2008. After [...]
Red Sox Pick Up Option On David Ortiz
Today, the Boston Red Sox picked up their one year, $12.5 M option on designated hitter David Ortiz. Over the past two seasons, Big Papi has gotten off to slow starts and then seems to pick it up later, catching up on the fastballs he was missing earlier in the season and ending with resonable [...]
Utica College Before And After The Bye Week
The Utica College Pioneers moved to 5-1 after beting St. Lawrence 31-13 last weekend. The Pioneers have never gotten out to a 5-1 start and also have capped off their most wins in a 6-4 season in 2005. This season has made a lot of “firsts” in Utica College history. This was the first time [...]
Will The Real Tim Donaghy Please Stand Up
I feel a bit brash to attempt to base this on a stretch of the two first games of the Boston Celtics 2010-2011 season, but it look so blatent that NBA referee’s are more of a factor in deciding the outcome of games than the players on the court and the coaches on the sidelines. [...]
Boston Celtics 2010-2011 Predictions
Josh Gans Regular Season : 53-29 (2nd in East) Playoffs: NBA Champions The Celtics are going to compare very well with their record from last season, however, the addition of Shaq followed by the return of Perkins later in the season coupled with the amazing team chemistry is going to help them grind out a [...]

Brett Favre; Throwing Picks And Texting Di...
A story that briefly came out two years ago, while Brett Favre was still with the New York football Jets has re-surfaced.

Utica College Looks To Rebound Against St. Lawrence
Sadly, Utica College suffered their first loss of the season in their Empire 8 opener against nationally ranked #24 St. John Fisher College. Utica fought throughout the whole game and never gave up, doing everything they possibly could to earn the victory. The final score was 35-24 but in no way tells the story of [...]
Trading Randy Moss Was A Terrible Idea
Yesterday the New England Patriots traded Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings for a third round draft pick in 2011. I hate the trade and it sickens me that much more that we have now compared Moss so closely to Laurence Maroney who we traded to Denver for a 2011 fourth round pick. If you’re [...]

Every Boston sports fan remembers the great moments in Boston Sports history.

POLL : Who Will Win The AFC East In 2010?
So After Week 1 of the 2010 NFL Season we saw that the New England Patriots have a very explosive offense as well as a very dangerous special teams unit in the return game thanks to wide receiver, Brandon Tate who ran back a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Bengals. The New [...]

POLL : What Do You Think About A-Rods 600th Home Run
40-something at-bats later, Alex Rodriguez reached career home run 600. Sports media has acknowledged A-Rod’s accomplishment yet has managed to keep it quiet and humble due to A-Rod’s admitted used of performance enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers for three seasons. I want to know how the world feels about the milestone, so [...]
POLL RESULTS : The Red Sox Should Have Made A Move Before The Trade Deadline
The disasters continue for the Boston Red Sox 2010 roster. The injuries are continuing to hang around and infect others such as JD Drew, Mike Cameron and Kevin Youkilis.

It's My Favorite Time Of The Year
NFL-Favre Watch It’s been a slow off-season on the Brett Favre front, but ESPN has recently tried to make it news again. I don’t think this year is going to be as flashy and edgy as the past, he’s coming back, just not for training camp. Also, anyone that says Brett Favre doesn’t have the [...]
