New England Patriots Troy Brown and Wes Welker: One and the Same
Posted: 26th June 2010 by Joe Gill in NFL
As went Troy Brown and Wes Welker, as went the Patriots offense.
If the Patriots needed a tough catch, Tom Brady would seek out No. 80 then and No. 83 now.
Just as Drew Bledsoe had Ben Coates, Brady has been blessed with two players in his career that seemed to read his mind.
Brady threw it and they caught it.
Simple as that.
Brown and Welker were cut from the same cloth and ...
In the dictionary next to the definition of champion, there should be a picture of Bill Russell.
Before he even entered the NBA, Russell experienced his share of collegiate basketball glory while playing for San Francisco State.
Russell was the defensive core of a team that won 55 games in a row.
Russell was a shot blocking machine during his college career. After batting away 13 shots against the NCAA basketball powerhouse ...
Shakespeare said it best when he said, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.”
This Band Of Bruins has come together in a year of turbulence.
A year where they lost 10 games in a row.
A year they lost their star player to a cheap shot by a goon from the fake Black and Gold.
A year ...
It looks like the Patriots will be in a dog fight this year in the AFC East, the division that New England has dominated over the last decade. The Pats have captured the AFC Crown seven of the last 10 seasons, but a changing of the guard is looming on the horizon.
The Patriots are looking more like the least than the beast of the AFC East.
The New York Jets are ...
If the Bruins' season was a horror movie, it may be entitled, “Zombie Bruins: The Black and Gold Undead!"
This hockey team would not die.
Matt Cooke, as vile as the Freddy Krueger himself, nearly decapitates Marc Savard and puts him in a concussed state of darkness for the rest of the season.
The NHL Axis of Evil looks the other way and the Pittsburgh headhunter walks away unpunished.
The Battle of Black and ...
The Sights of Fenway Park: A Summer Night in April (Humor)
Posted: 9th April 2010 by Joe Gill in MLB
I never imagined in my wildest dreams that the temperature for an early season Red Sox game would break 50 degrees.
But 92 degrees with no humidity on April 7?
Can you say GLO-BAL WARM-ING?
Damn did I luck out or what? Not only did I get Red Sox-Yankees tickets, but the weather was more like August than April!
I still didn’t trust the New England weather. It may be 92 at 5 PM, ...
Man Tears \man teers\
- noun
1. The effect on human males during times of ultimate jubilation or extreme devastation. Usually associated with Boston Sports teams (i.e. Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox).
Now that we got the dictionary definition of Man Tears out of the way. Let me share with you my personal Top 10 Man Tears Moments in Boston Sports.
Sit back and shed some Man Tears with me. Remember, guys ...
We honor Reggie Lewis as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. He was a budding star for the Boston Celtics from 1987-1993. He died tragically during the summer of ‘93 at the age of 27. The cause of death was cardiac arrest.
This would be Boston’s second tragedy over a seven year span. Lenny Bias, the college superstar from Maryland, died from a drug overdose ...
The Bruins made a deadline deal last March to bring gritty Mark Recchi in for the playoff run. Boston also received Tampa’s second-round choice in 2010 in exchange for defenseman Matt Lashoff and forward Martins Karsums.
The trade was perceived as a rental because of Recchi’s age. There was no guarantee that he would come back for another year of hockey at the age of 41.
Recchi performed admirably at the end ...
I guess the Bruins would rather have takeout on the road than home cooking.
Greasy hamburgers and fries are preferred over Mom’s homemade turkey dinners.
The Black and Gold must sleep better in their plush hotels than in their own beds.
Or they just hate their building.
The FleetCenter.
I mean TD BankNorth Garden.
Oh I stand corrected, TD Garden.
This edifice is no Gahden (that’s Boston for Garden).
The OLD Gahden was the Roman Coliseum for opponents.
And ...
