About andy »

What can I say? I am here for the same reasons you all are here....I absolutely am a sports nut and I find web sites like these more informative and well written than a lot of the "traditional" news outlets. I love basketball, baseball, football, and golf. I have lived in Boston my whole life. I am a fan of the Celtics, Red Sox, and Patriots (I know that makes me Public Enemy #1 before we even get started, but cut me some slack; I supported them during the Rod Rust and Dick McPherson eras). I have a beautiful wife and an adorable little daughter. If anyone wants to contact me and talk some sports, or just tell me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I would love to hear from you.

Rest In Peace, Don Tomasso. Boston sports lost one of its greatest fans on 4/6/2008. All your friends love you and think of you constantly.

Also, Rest in Peace, Jason Gracia. It is amazing to think that our small circle of friends has lost another member, but Jason passed away 9/15/2008. Unreal, Jay, we all love you and miss you.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Larry Bird, Drew Bledsoe, David Ortiz, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Troy Brown, Ty Law, Dwight Evans, Josh Beckett, Ben Coates, Jonathan Papelbon, Al Jefferson, Larry Whigham, Kevin Garnett, and Jim Rice.
Favorite Sports Teams

Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Indiana Hoosiers (Basketball), FSU Seminoles (NCAA Football)
All Time Sports Moment

Red Sox beating the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, coming back from down 3 games to nothing. And of course, winning the World Series one week later.
Most Memorable Game Attended

The Celtics winning the title against Houston in 1986. To this day, Larry Bird said it was the best game he ever played.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

The 1972 Dolphins, as obnoxious and insufferable as they are. If the 2007 New England Patriots could not do it, I do not think it ever gets done. And we will have to listen to those nitwits until the end of time.
Ruth or Mays?

Willie Mays.
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele, because he was in "Victory" and that is roughly the extent of my soccer knowledge.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Has to be SEC, especially in football.

Why one move that wasn't made helped the Celtics achieve the success that they've had.

Paul Pierce is a star in the NBA, but is he worthy of the Hall of Fame?

I wrote a couple of articles I would love for you to read. One is about the Matt Cassel trade. The other is about three great plays in the SB. I tried to inject some humor. Let me know what you think.

Hey, I'm not saying it doesn't require skill. My problem with golf is that anyone can have a fluky game and perform as well as a pro. For example, there are a number of blind people and 80 year olds with hole in ones. That and I just plain can't stand it!

Andy,

I just wanted to alert you that your story about P.I. needing to be a reviewable penalty was picked up on http://msn.foxsports.com/name/public/foxfunhouse. Go to the right-side and find your link in the 'what bloggers are saying' portion. Congrats.

Hey Andy,

I'm hoping you'll check out my latest article about China, the Olympic games, protests, and our own responses to these current events. I'm making a concerted effort to reach out to people who have added me as a "favorite writer" to attempt to spark a discussion which affects us as sports fans and supporters of a forum for free-speech. Thank you for helping me to get the ball rolling!

You can find the piece here: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/16634

Please leave comments on your feelings and opinions.

Thanks,

Andrew

There were some bandwagon Pats fans, but when a team is good, that will always happen. I have loved the Celts for as long as I can remember, but the amount of hats and shirts I see this year makes me want to laugh. However, that is just par for the course, and I am sure goes on everywhere (you think there were all these Colts diehards when they were 3-13?)

Boston fans are very loyal, but yes, you will see some jump out of the woodword when a team shows improvement. If you heard a noise in February, it was all these great New York fans throwing their Jets hats back into the closet so they could run out and buy a Giants jersey.

Actually, outside of the pats, I'm pretty much a boston an. I was stressing pretty hard in 04 when derek lowe was closing out the a's. Talk about a great moment in sports. But, I'll tell you, the pats fans came out of the woodwork this year. Incredible.

Hey andy,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend andy!
