Sports Bio

The Pats-Oakland game in the snow in Foxboro.
Adam Vinatieri's kick thru the blowing snow is something that I will always remember. What an ending to the old concrete slab on Rt 1.(the old sullivan-Foxboro stadium)

Faithful Patriots-Red Sox fan. Prefer football than baseball,but follow both equally.
Celtics fan. I do not follow basketball much,but will go to a game or 2 a year.

Celtics basketball has never been the same since the Bird,
Parish, McHale era.

Pavlik beats Taylor. Again. Kelly Pavlik won a unanimous decision over Jermain Taylor. This was the second time they fought.

posted to Boxing at 12:27 PM CDT

I would love to see what Marvin Hagler would do to Pavlik and Taylor if they were around when The Marvelous One was the Undespituted Middleweight Champ back in the eightys.Neither one would stand a chance against him.I think by far he was the best middleweight in his day,if not the best ever!!

The whole thing is just a waste of taxpayers dollars.Hasn't the government got anything better to do than to butt in on the NFL?He got caught,paid his fine,the team paid theirs.Enough said.Get on with the offseason.Training camp opens in July.Season opens in Sept.Stop beating a dead horse!!

Tom Brady Wearing Walking Cast The Patriots quarterback was spotted leaving a New York apartment Monday wearing a walking cast on his right foot, as shown in photos and a video on TMZ.Com. Brady's 124 consecutive starts at QB are the third longest streak in NFL history.

posted to Football at 12:13 AM CDT

Highly doubtful Brady will not play in Super Bowl XLII. It'll take more than a sore foot to keep him from playing!!!Although Brady didn't look that good against the Chargers,look for Brady to be on top of his game come S.B. Sunday.

Dungy: Nothing has Changed Tony Dungy will coach at least one more year in Indianapolis.

Jim Caldwell is all set to take over the reins as soon as Dungy decides to give them up.Not only is Dungy a class act,but Caldwell also seems dedicated to wait until that happens.Both are classy guys,and not many such as Caldwell to sit and wait until a head coach waits and decides his fate with the team as the head coach.

Superbowl: Patriots vs. Giants 2.0 After an upset of the Packers, the Giants take on the Patriots again in Arizona.

posted to Football at 9:18 PM CDT

Giants played a great game in that frozen tundra they call Lambeau Field.Eli had a great game and seemed to throw at will against that Green Bay defense.I thought that the Packers were going to win it in O.T. when they won the coin toss.But when Favre threw that pick,I knew it was over.Favre has had a great career,and has a Super Bowl ring(1 but correct me if I'm wrong)I think it's time for him to hang up the cleats and retire.One more Super Bowl would of been nice for him,but I think it would be the right thing for Bret to retire with all of the records that he holds.Next stop is the Hall of Fame.

Patriots advance to their 4th Superbowl in 7 years. Despite his second worst QB rating of the season, Tom Brady and the Patriots advance to the Superbowl thanks to a second half running game and a defense that held the Chargers to only 4 field goals on the afternoon. The Patriots take their 17-1 unprecedented 18-0 record to Arizona in two weeks, facing the Ravens winner of the Packers/Giants game, in the hopes of completing a truly historic season.

Outside of New England,I've got to agree that the Patriots fan base is practically none.It seems that alot of people want to see the Patriots lose the Super Bowl just because of the history that is at stake here.They don't want to see them go 19-0.I can see maybe why the Dolphin fans don't want them to win,even though the 17-0 mark has been broken,it's the undefeated season as a whole thats at stake for them.Call them cheaters,or what ever else some people want to call them,but what everyone is going to witness if the Patriots do win the S.B. is that this years Pats team will go down maybe as the greatest team ever to play the game of football.

Patriots to Honor Booed Teenager Patriots owner Robert Kraft extended an invitation to Anna Grant and her parents to be on the field during the coin flip at this weekend's playoff game against the San Diego Chargers. The 14-year-old girl was booed after being introduced as her age-group champion of the Punt-Pass-Kick competition before the 4th quarter of the Colts-Chargers game because she was wearing a Patriots jersey.

posted to Football at 9:32 AM CDT

She knew before her name was announced that she was going to get booed.There were probably a few just doing it just to have a little fun,but I'm sure there was those drunken, obnoxious morons booing a fourteen year girl wearing a Patriots jersey just out of hatred of the Patriots.Class act on Krafts part to give her and her family tickets to the game.Good PRs for smoothing over maybe some hurt feelings,even though she said it didn't bother her.

Chargers Beat Colts, 28-24, and move on to face the Patriots next week.

Rivers is a little immature.He's always getting into it with the fans on the road.Yesterday wasn't the first time he's done it.He's got to learn to suck it up and be professional about it. Letting the fans know that they are getting under his skin just makes them get louder and gets more people into it.Rivers has got to learn to let that trash talk go and just play football,what he's being payed to do.He's going to hear alot of it this coming weekend here in Foxboro.The fans at Gillette Stadium will have him eating right out of their hands.

Patriots Extend Perfect Season to 17-0 New England defeated Jacksonville 31-20, playing four quarters of mistake-free football except for a missed field goal. Florida Times-Union columnist Gene Frenette before the game: "[K]nocking off the Patriots is within Jacksonville's reach." After: "This was the football equivalent of watching Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel."

Micheangelo and surgically precise is exactly what Tom Brady and the offense did to the Jaguars did last night.Except for the missed field goal as mentioned above.The defense has got to start tackling better,and Harrison has got to stop getting them stupid 15 yard roughing penalities.The Jaguars are a big team on both sides of the ball.I guess trying to stop them big receivers and backs has been hard for any team.Anyhow,congrats to the Jags and their fans.They just couldn't do what 17 other opponents weren't able to do and that is to stop Brady and the offense.

posted to Football at 2:49 PM CDT

Money probably is the motivating factor if and when he decides to make the jump.But why go to the pros?I don't know what his salary is at USC,but I'm sure it's not chump change.Plus the job security he has in Southern Cal. He's known for not being able to coach at the pro level.Be smart Pete.You won't last long in Atlanta or any other Pro city!!

Joe Gibbs Resigns as Washington's Coach After four years in which his teams went 31-36, Joe Gibbs surprised Washington's players and coaching staff by resigning for the second time from the team. The Hall of Fame coach, winner of three Super Bowls in 12 years the first time around, had an arduous year after the diagnosis of a grandson with leukemia and the murder of player Sean Taylor.

posted to Football at 10:43 AM CDT

Joe Gibbs is a class act.He said he couldn't give 100% to the team.I guess he can now concentrate on his race team full time,something he said he wasn't able to do with the Redskins.Good luck to him.

Clemens Files Defamation Suit Roger Clemens beat Brian McNamee to court, filing a defamation suit against the former trainer who claimed to have injected him with performance-enhancing drugs.

posted to Baseball at 9:55 AM CDT

If anyone watched the 60 Minutes interview,it seemed to me that he answered some of those questions in a round about way trying to avoid some of the questions such as the one about the lie detector test.I personally think Clemens is as guilty as anyone else mentioned.He went out and filed a lawsuit and is trying to clear his name in that form of way.I guess they are all innocent until proven guilty,but this has tarnished the game of baseball and all the players mentioned to the point where it'll be hard to clear not just Clemens' name,but all that have been mentioned.

Patriots-Jaguars should be a hell of a game.But the Patriots and Belichick will be studying the film of the Jags- Steelers game and I'm sure he'll put in a game plan to offset what the Jaguars have to throw at them.Colts vs Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

I don't know what Phillips was thinking giving the players the luxury of basically letting them do what they wanted.Sure you've got the bye week,and maybe take a little time off from football.But going and lounging on a Mexican resort I think is a bit much.I can see Belichick telling his team,"Alright boys,we earned the right to the bye week,you all go down to Mexico,have a few Margaritas on me,and I'll see you back here Monday morning.Yea right!!!

Roger Clemens Roger Clemens states that he did get injections, but they were not steroids. Now congress is asking him to testify.

posted to Baseball at 10:36 PM CDT

Clemens is no better than Tejada,Bonds,or anyone else mentioned in the Mitchell Report.Clemens did seem to get bigger and better with age as did Bonds,among others.I personally think that Clemens did use steroids or HGH.We'll just have to wait and see what happens when they are all asked to testify before Congress.But thats not saying they are all going to tell the truth either.Both Pettite and Clemens were teammates at the time since McNamee has mentioned both there names.
