Boston: Big Papi Back in the Spotlight

Posted on July 13th, 2010 by Ryan.Engler

Even though I am supposed to be the Boston correspondent I strongly considered writing a post about the Bill Simmons dubbed, “LeBroncolypse” or “LeBacle.” Bill Simmons did a better job than I would have done and the submissions from his readings are very funny, so I urge you to read it. I don’t think any [...]

Posted on July 11th, 2010 by Sam Aleinikoff

A few friends are getting together to play some basketball. That’s all this is. Three guys like each other and have fun playing on the same team. Is that so wrong? Because that’s the situation right now. On Thursday night, the world came down hard on LeBron. Dan Gilbert was the ringleader and the people [...]

Students leave school early, employees jump in cabs to the nearest bars and bank tellers turn their backs to the windows to garner a better view of the TV. 3:25pm the opening ceremonies commence. Businesses are at a standstill for the next two hours. Not even public busses roam the [...]

Posted on July 6th, 2010 by Jake Mastbaum

All of you should already know that the New York Knicks landed the first big time free agent to switch teams this summer.  That man is Amar’e Stoudemire.  The Knicks signed Stoudemire to a max contract for 5 years worth about $100 million… Not to shabby for a guy without a college education.  The funny [...]

Boston: Pissing off the Injury Gods

Posted on July 5th, 2010 by Ryan.Engler

I don’t know what is more frustrating: the Brett Farve-esque, ubiquitous coverage of the LeBron James and co. free agent bonanza that has taken over Sports Center or watching the Red Sox unbelievable resurgence this season marred by a disabled list that closely resembles Baghdad. The free agent speculation is killing me as much as [...]
