Way to Be Tarheels
Congratulations on your fifth NCAA basketball title. And thanks for extending my personal streak of titles won by my sports teams to ten in the past eight years! For everyone like me who couldn’t make it out there, check out this video of Franklin Street from the Daily Tar Heel. Here’s a time-lapse of the […]
My 2009 Final Four Picks
Just like last year, I’d like to take a moment (just sit right there) to share with you my 2009 Final Four picks. As I haven’t watched much college basketball this year I likely will not fill out a bracket. However, since I got 75% of the Final Four correct last year, let’s expand it […]
I Was Wrong: Matt Cassel IS a Record Breaking Quarterback
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on my prediction that the New England Patriots will win this year’s Super Bowl, so let’s take a look at where we stand after eleven football games. The team has something to prove, again. The Bill Belichick Patriots love one thing above all else, proving people wrong. […]
The C’s Raise Up Banner #17
So last night was awesome. For a rare night, I left my bicycle at home and hopped on the red and green line to the Garden, sporting my vintage Paul Pierce jersey and my big ass banner ticket, with immense pride the whole ride. In a bit of a hurry from finishing up my John […]
Opening Night for the World Champion Boston Celtics
Guess whose going to opening night tonight at the TD Banknorth Garden for the World Champion Boston Celtics? Here’s a hint: Yup, that ticket is awesome. Getting to see championship banner #17 hoisted up to the rafters almost makes up for not being there in person when they won it (I had tickets to Game […]
My 2008-09 Celtics Season tickets
So to finish off the week of hand-written snail mail, check out what also arrived the old fashioned way this week. Bam…those are some shiny tickets! We season ticket holders certainly deserve some of our own bling for cheering the C’s on to their 17th banner last year. Hopefully this year ends up in some […]
To Boston & the Red Sox, It’s OK
Yesterday as I jumped on my bicycle to pedal home after watching the Sox game in town, one angry fella walking by with his group of buddies yelled out: Aaarrgh this suck this sucks, this fracking sucks For once, I did not feel the same way. In fact aside from being slightly cold I did […]
SHOCKER: Patriots Win without Tom Brady!
We’re only one game in, but let’s take a look at the reasons why The New England Patriots will win Super Bowl XLIII and see how we stand: The team has something to prove, again. I’ll let Rodney Harrison answer this one [via ESPN.com]: To come in here, to this hostile environment, and win when […]
The New England Patriots will win Super Bowl XLIII
Don’t rub your eyes or slap yourself, you are reading that title correctly. No, this is not an old post. Yes, I know Tom Brady is out for the season. No, I am not completely insane (just marginally). I’ll repeat it so you know it’s not a typo, the 2008-2009 New England Patriots will win […]
My 2008-09 Celtics Season Ticket Schedule
A few days ago the Boston Celtics released their schedule for the upcoming 2008-2009 NBA season. Today an e-mail arrived in my inbox from the C’s announcing the release of their half-season schedules. As a half-season ticket holder, I was obviously quite curious to see what games I’d be attending (especially since I thought I’d […]
Vamanos Espana / Let’s Go Spain
Normally I don’t follow soccer too much but the Euro 2008 drew me in a little bit, as does the World Cup every four years. As my whole family background is Polish I obviously rooted for the Poles though I didn’t expect them to go too far. I lost interest once the Polish team got […]
LA, You Got Rondo’d
Haha, excellent. This championship still feels a little bit surreal.
Celtics Draft JR Giddens
With the last pick in the NBA draft, the Boston Celtics drafted J.R. Giddens, a New Mexico Lobo (and former Kansas Jayhawk). As I haven’t been intensely watching college basketball the past few years I wasn’t aware of this kid but from some of his youtube videos he’s clearly a very diesel and athletic basketball […]
LA Got Beat!!!
Just a quick post to celebrate the Boston Celtics historic, record-breaking 17th NBA championship. Congratulations guys, you certainly deserve it! I’ll post some pictures, analysis of the game and series and my experience tomorrow. For now, I’ll let Mr. Brian Scalabrine break down why the Boston Celtics should have been the favorites all along. You’re […]
Let’s Go Celtics!
Contrary to my prediction before this series started, I’ve got a feeling the Celtics will win tonight and clinch the NBA championship. As much as I’d love to personally see the C’s win game 7 I see Paul Pierce leading the Celtics through a very tough game and ending the night as NBA champions. Let’s […]
Celtics POWEr to Two Game Lead
The big, big take away from Game 2 of the back to the 80’s NBA Finals featuring the flashy offensive one man team Los Angeles Lakers against the grimy team-oriented defensive Boston Celtics is that the C’s are much, much more physical than the Lakers (starting 5 and bench) and can dominate the game when […]
Today’s Biking Path Part 2
In a follow up to yesterday’s post showing my biking path here’s another Google map showing the route I took to get to an apartment on Winter Hill to watch the Sox-Yankees and Bruins-Canadians game last night (both of the good guys won). This second leg of my trip was another 15 miles, so in […]
The Final Two: An Update to My Final Four Picks
It’s time again for us to take a look back at my final four picks and see how they stack up now that we’re down to the last two teams. Last time we checked, 75% of my final four picks were still intact, with USC being the sole incorrect pick. Over the weekend, Kansas beat […]
My Celtics Playoff Tickets
About eight months ago I made a great decision, to buy Celtics half-season tickets. By my best estimates I went to about half of the regular season games I had tickets for but yesterday, the real reason I bought Celtics season tickets arrived in my mailbox: Yup those are my Celtics playoff tickets and nope […]
Look Back at My Final Four Picks
Ten days ago I posted my picks for the teams to make it to the NCAA Final Four. Let’s take a look back at those picks and see how they worked out. My Final Four predictions: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) University of Southern California (USC) University of Memphis University of California […]
My Final Four Picks
This post won’t have any insight or analysis, just my Final Four picks for the 2008 college basketball tournament. My Final Four predictions: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) University of Southern California (USC) University of Memphis University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA) Then, in the Final Four UNC will beat Memphis […]
Bought My Celtics Playoff Tickets
So as mentioned in this post, I’m the proud owner of a pair of Boston Celtic half-season tickets. About a week or two ago an invoice arrived in the mail for playoff tickets and today I finally secured my seats for rounds 1 & 2 of the NBA playoffs (and just a few days before […]
Biggest Upset in Football History: Giants Beat Pats
This sucks. A new level of stomach punch game. The New England Patriots are just like Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. Mr. Tom Brady, If you were hurt you shouldn’t have played. If you weren’t hurt, well you know no individual performance can overshadow a loss, especially one this big, but dude what happened in […]
The Satellite is Orbiting, The Bugs are Listening, The Cameras are Rolling: 24 Hours Until Pats Play Giants in Biggest Game Ever
Well, the anti-Patriots machine is running full-blast with Senator Arlen Specter asking why the “Spygate” tapes were destroyed and Matt Walsh, former video assistant with the Pats, claiming to possess evidence of the organization cheating well before this year or last year. Meanwhile, an anonymous source tells ESPN that the Patriots taped the Rams walk-through […]

Clara Moskowitz of LiveScience thinks this infinite supply is dangerous and writes: These over-wired people are so focused on their gadgets, […]
The Peyton Manning Face Appears One Week Early
What a great weekend of playoff football. Though I didn’t watch the whole game, Brett Favre and the Packers playing anybody on a snow-filled Lambeau field is entertaining. Then, Saturday night we got to see the Greatest Show on FieldTurf operating at a near maximum efficiency. The Jaguars tried to utilize the bend but don’t […]
Humble Pats Serve Dynasty Pie to Hungry Cowboys
This is a guest post from sports blogger Josh Gans. He writes on a regular basis at Sports Fan 4. The humblest of pie is served in Foxboro, Massachusetts. After a 48-27 passing barrage of Tom Brady to Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Ben Watson, Kyle Brady, Kevin Faulk, and of course Randy Moss who had […]
Duel in Dallas: The Patriots of New England Invade the Cowboys Homeland.
Good start, Cowboys don’t cross the 20 till the third play of the game. And that’s why the line shouldn’t be in the Cowboys favor (which according to a Google search for “pats-cowboys line”, it isn’t. Pats are favored by a safety and a half minus the 3 point home-field advantage). Both teams are undefeated […]
Red Sox Clinch Home-Field Advantage
Though the AL East division was all wrapped up before Saturday night’s Red Sox game (#161 on the season), home-field advantage was still up for grabs. With the Sox win that night, we now are guaranteed home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and end up tied with the Cleveland Indians for the best record in baseball. […]
Boston: Hub of the Blogiverse
That’s right Boston! We’re #1, again, in yet another area. First public high school, first college, first public transportation system and so on. Now we can add being the first city crowned bloggiest city by outside.in. We’re #1, baby! Sing it with me, we are the champions, no time for losers (Philadelphia) because we are […]
Kevin Garnett a Celtic: We’re Baaaack!
Last night, when the Kevin Garnett trade broke, perksisabeast summed up my feelings in his post, The worst trade in Celtics history draws perilously near, perfectly. Then after reading Bill Simmons’ post, McHale adds another notch to his Celtics legacy, and being reminded [by perksisabeast] to always look on the bright side of life, I […]
Wicked Awesome: AL East Standings as of 05/28/2007
Well, you don’t need a thousand words to describe this picture; in fact, five will do quite nicely. Red Sox Rock, Yankees Suck! Image courtesy of Boston.com.
eBay: Pro Scalping?
I just logged into my eBay account (you’ll see why soon enough) and found this e-mail from eBay’s Government Relations department, sent on April 17, 2007: “Today in your state capital, proposals for legislation are being drafted that claim to support an open market for buying and selling concert or sporting event tickets. But these […]
