Where's the consistency?: Not a suspension. Suspension. No suspensions (cheap hit at 1:24 into the video, injury-causing facewashes at 3:15). Suspension (0:50 into video).

Newbie with great seats observes the game.: Curt Schilling gets great court-side seats and shares his observations as a sports star, but basketball novice (after some comments about the Red Sox).

18 straight regular season wins: breaking the 70 year old record held by the Chicago Bears spanning 1933-1934 (link to a 2MB PDF). 21 straight wins including the playoffs and Super Bowl. A great accomplishment, but can they top Miami's perfect season? Is there anyone on the schedule who can break the streak?

The Pats helmet made me immediately think of this. If they're not going to bring back Pat the Patriot, I say go for it - the NFL needs to lighten up.

Debo - is it all games or just the AFC throwback games?

Be like the Williams sisters - don't play so much. They have obvious scorn for the rankings system. That may only work for the top tier players. Lower ranked or unranked players may feel the need to play as much as possible to break into the ranks or move up the ranks.

As far as the fans... stop going to the games - a coordinated fan strike is the only way to motivate the owner to change things.
As far as the WaPo... bread & circuses! And they wonder why people don't read newspapers any more.

It is somehow fitting that the Sox would go out because Papelbon finally gets burned. All season he's been wacky with control - walking guys, loading bases, almost always getting out of his self-created jams. Not this time. Sox have gotten soft - there was none of the fire that won in the playoffs before.

Sportsfilter bake sale to purchase it and build something to rival Telemanjaro?

Are we sure it wasn't Browns agree to send Edwards to Jets?
Mind you, I have no idea why any of that would happen, but Google is fun on a slow day.

Silly football stats from CHFF

I'd be curious to know how many tons of dollars the NBA is raking in relative to other years such that they feel they need to curb referee salaries.

irunfromclones, are you saying the real Usain Bolt is a short dumpy guy who created a superfast Bolt-bot that's winning all the races?

Well said, hincandenza. Easy for all to judge, but nobody really has all the facts and we don't even know which facts we do have since they were released partially and illegally.

Belichick Call Questioned in Pats' Loss to Colts
Terrible call, but the game never should have come down to that. All along there were bad play calls & clock management decisions. When your run is working well enough (between Maroney and Faulk), why have drives where you go all-pass and 3-and-out? They had a lead that was their's to blow.
This used to be a NE specialty - build a lead, and grind out the clock on the ground. Watching BillB this season and last (despite what he did with Matt Cassel), I'm thinking that Crennel & Weis had a lot more to do with the Pats success than they get credit for (even though the two of them have been disappointing as head coaches).
