Tim's Bio

I recently moved to Maine after being born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Yeah, your typical Irish Catholic from Boston.

I went to Northeastern University for journalism, and during/after that I worked at The Patriot Ledger and The Enterprise—based in Quincy and Brockton, respectively. Both papers cover the area south of Boston, the Ledger more along the shore.

I'm currently a staff editor here, so if you're reading this to see who changed something in your story, take my word that I mean well. I'll be happy to discuss any questions about edits or help you out with a more in-depth revision if you post on my board.

Tim Writes About

The Short List What Tim thinks about sport's most pressing questions

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Boston Celtics (they were still No. 1 on this list during the 15-win season, so no bandwagon thoughts), Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, and all Northeastern University sports—even though they usually let you down.

    I also throw some support to all Seattle teams (RIP Sonics).

    And I can't forget my fantasy teams: Hanshin Tigers, Yokohama Taiyo Whales, Iwatani Sidewinders, Tokyo Gas Creators, and Oji Eagles.

  • All Time Sports Moment



    Tied with the Red Sox coming back from three games down to beat the Yankees in the ALCS and go on to win the World Series in 2004 (obvious, but gotta go with it).

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The Weymouth High School boys hockey team's 2-1 victory over Catholic Memorial in round-robin play of the 2007 Super Eight tournament.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Ripken's consecutive games played streak. Cy Young's career wins record probably shouldn't be considered because of how baseball has changed.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ted Williams. He has a higher career OBP and BA and I'm a homer.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Brady. (Then Montana, who has four times as many rings as Unitas. Still, the Pete and Pete episode about aliens seeing old satellite footage of Johnny Unitas 40 years later is epic.)

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Russell. I mean, the guy has more rings than fingers.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Orr. He was a plus-124 with 139 points as a d-man in '70-71. Also, no weird spousal gambling issues that make me wonder if he threw his wife under the bus.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. No justification because this doesn't involve a Boston athlete. (Joking—I'm really not much of a homer. Just predisposed to side with locals on a close call.)

  • Federer or Sampras?

    McEnroe.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Gonna go with Tiger here.

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    What, no Colonial Athletic Association? What gives?

    I few of my friends have been screwed over recently by B/R. I won't stand for it, and I published this article as opposition.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/285691-i-love-you-bleacher-report-but-something-has-to-change

    Also, it won't let me tag it as B/R Chatter. Can you fix that?

    Thanks

  7. Greetings Tim! Can you take a look at my latest. There was lots of sourcing and I am sure there are places I could do it better. Also I would like your thoughts on how I interjected outside thoughts into the NOW statement and if there is a better way to do this. Thanks as always Tim!
