About Stew »

I'm a lifelong Boston sports fan. Raised on Larry Bird and the Celtics of the 80s. C's still my favorite team - own a pair of green sneakers that say "Celtics" "Pride" on the back. Love the Pats and the Sox as well, and reminisce often about what it was like seeing Pedro Martinez pitch in his prime.

How deep do you think the Pats are?

This article will test it.

I really want some Patriots fans input.

I appreciate it.

Stew,

Tony Conligiaro had everything going for him. The (suburb of) Boston native got to play for his team, and he was a hell of a hitter. Unfortunately, all good things must come to and end, and this case was no exception. I would love to hear what you think.

Stew,

You already may know that many great athletes have gone from Minnesota to Boston at one point in their careers and either emerged as superstars or brought their stardom to the next level. Check out some of the best athletes who started their careers in Minnesota to only end up suiting up for Boston in the end.

Stew,

How do you feel about Fenway Park? Should it be replaced? Should the Red Sox continue to call it home? I'd love to know what you think.

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.
