New England Patriots: Still Alive—Commentary

First and foremost, don't ask about the picture; I just thought it looked odd and might raise some eyebrows. Also, before I can say anything else, I have to remark: the Phillies won the World Series? Really? Like, seriously? Man...

New England Patriots: Still Alive

I am still waiting for the collapse. When Brady went down, everyone assumed the Patriots' 2008 season was a lost cause. Then they lost Maroney, and the pessimism got even worse. Harrison certainly didn't help matters, either...

Wake Me in 2009

Wait... Hold on... Let me see if I have this straight... The Red Sox, who won the 2004 ALCS after being down 3-0 against the Yankees, lost? The Red Sox, who won the 2007 ALCS after being down ...

The Greatest Time Of The Year

This is the greatest time of the year! Forget Christmas or New Years or any of that nonsense. This is it, right here! Football season is in full swing and baseball playoffs are kicking into gear; ...

Alexander Has Nothing On Me

The Sox lost Sunday and I refuse to even mention the Patriots. I still have high hopes for the Sox, but I just don't feel like writing about such things until my heart quiets down...

Red Sox vs Rays

Well that was a whole lot easier than I thought it was going to be. No offense, Angels fans, but I'm being serious. The Angels were the major league's best team in 2008...

All You Need Is Lester

Take a seat and chill, Josh; My man Lester got yo' back, foo'! Okay, maybe that "street" talk wasn't appropriate coming from the fingers of the whitest Irish man in the northern hemisphere...

Nachos Required

The streak continues. No! Not that streak. Put your pants back on. I'm talking about the Red Sox. Yesterday they extended their winning streak in the ALDS against the Angels to nine games. It looked grim until the sixth inning, but they pulled through...

Red Sox vs Angels

It is time, my people, to rise up, stand proud, turn on our television sets and sit right back down to enjoy some good ol' fashioned Boston playoff baseball! And maybe some beef chili.....

It's Coming...

Can you see it, off in the distance? It's a slight glow, and it's as if it's coming from the future...It feels almost magical, and comforting like a blanket on a cold fall evening...

Congratulations, Florida!

No, I don't mean the Dolphins. As far as I'm concerned that game wasn't worthy of its own article because it would be mostly whining and crying, and no one wants that. I blame myself, really...

Hochuli Is My Hero

Hitler is ice skating in hell right now. Does anyone remember that Subway commercial just a few months ago where the referee came on over the sound system and announced that he "totally blew ...

Brady Who?

That odd noise you heard around 7:30 yesterday wasn't the wind or a ghost. It was the sound of several million Patriots fans all exhaling at once. They had been holding their breath for nearly a week, so I'm sure it was quite loud even miles away...

Returning to Fenway?

I've made an important decision in my life: I want the Dodgers to square off against the Red Sox in the World Series. Calm down LA, I don't want you to win. I just want you to go. In long-standing tradition with myself, I of course want the Red Sox to win

The Flying Angel

Does Francisco Rodriguez think he can fly? He looks like he's trying to take off when he finishes his pitches. Someone should inform him that he's not actually an angel before he starts following ...

Lance Armstrong: At It Again

Okay, Lance, we get it: You're awesome. This guy is so awesome he could make Gandhi feel like a failure. In 1996 he was diagnosed with brain, lung, abdominal and testicular cancer, all at once...

The Rays Are Still in First?

I think I'm the last one left who still can't get over the Rays being in first place in the AL East. It's like my brain keeps crashing every time it tries to think about it...

Brady's Knee Is Not Funny

Stop laughing, Indianapolis! We can hear you, you know! You may think we can't, since you're all the way over there, in whatever state where Indianapolis is in, but we can! We can feel it...

Pedro Martinez Makes Me Feel Old

It's finally happened. I never really thought it would happen, but it has, much like gainful employment. I am, of course, talking about Sports-Induced Old-man Talking Syndrome...

The Physics of Football

Just yesterday, the stretch of time when Sundays disappear began. It's baffling to many, and it's a miracle of physics that is known, collectively, as football season...
