Bill Simmons: Damning the NFL and MLB since February 3, 2002

I could have included the Boston Celtics in the title, too, but I just wanted to take on the subtle, delicate subjects that are the NFL and MLB.
New England Patriots: SB 36, 38 and 39 champions
Boston Red Sox: 2004 and 2007 World Series champions (Before 2004, they were 86 years and running without a championship.)
It’s all [...]

The Bourne Ultimatum: 200 words or less review

I know, I know — this is non sports related, but I thought I’d just throw out my thoughts.
If you haven’t watched the other Bourne movies, don’t look to the Ultimatum. Far too many references to the far too, and those who are new to the series should be checking out the other Bourne moves [...]

Will the real Celtics fans please stand up?

I’m f’n getting sick and tired of seeing so many damn “Boston Celtics” fans all over the internet. It’s completely demoralizing, as a fan, to see this kind of crap spewing on every sports board.
“Oh, I’ve been through the bad and the good. I’m just popping up now because I’ve been too embarrassed to post [...]

Merry Christmas, everyone

Here on the east coast, there’s one hour until Christmas actually begins for this year.
I just wanted to take the time to wish all of my readers, friends, dotcomrades, etc. a Merry Christmas.
Forget about material possessions as they are not forever. Dispose the love in your heart and express it to your family and friends. [...]

Just implode, baby!

The 2006 World Series team is almost nowhere to be seen on the upcoming 2008 St. Louis Cardinals. Another thing that is nowhere to be seen is off season patrol; and what I mean by that is, the Cardinals front office is taking a step back and allowing Houston and Chicago [Cubs] to get better.
Losing Eckstein [...]

We Talkin’ ‘Bout the Mitchell Report. . . the What?

I’m probably the only freakin’ person in the United States, let alone world (with respect to people from countries outside the U.S. following baseball), that hasn’t delved into the Mitchell Report that much yet. I haven’t even looked far into the listed players. I’ve only read two articles.
One by Howard Bryant
The other talking about how [...]

Take that, Boston College

Short post. I just have to let some held-up breath out, uneasily.
Virginia Tech beat Boston College 30-16.
Xavier Adibi picked off Matt Ryan, and returned the interception for a touchdown with 11 seconds left, the same amount of time that was left when Ryan led the Eagles down the field to beat the Hokies earlier this [...]

Writing on a new blog

Hey everyone, I’ve just started to write  a new sports blog here on WordPress; pretty much an “experiment.” If you have no clue on what I’m talking about, which I’m 100 percent sure you don’t (unless you’re psychic), check it out here.
With that out of the way, I’m going to be posting a lot of [...]

FrankTV?

Frank Caliendo’s my favorite comedian right now.
Sorry Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy. You guys still reign as my top blue collar heroes of all time, but nobody in this world can impersonate more people than Caliendo. How many people can Caliendo nail — in terms of sports enthusiasts, politicians, [...]
