Patriots Should Sign Ex-Raven Pollard
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens continued dismantling its Super Bowl Champion roster (so painful to type) by releasing strong safety Bernard Pollard, the seventh player lost from last year’s team.

Video: Terry Francona Does Harlem Shake
You read that correctly. Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona, now managing the Cleveland Indians after a one year hiatus at ESPN, does the Harlem Shake along with the entire Indians roster.

Pierce Rests, Celtics Lose Laugher to Bobcats, 100-74
Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers decided to rest aging star Paul Pierce for tonight’s contest against the Charlotte Bobcats. Turns out he probably didn’t have to.

Video: Red Sox RP Aceves, “Satan in His Eyes,” Involved in WBC Brawl
There’s just never a dull moment with Alfredo Aceves, is there?

Red Sox Prospect Accidentally Shoots Himself in the Leg
San Francisco Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt once stabbed himself in the hand trying to separate a couple of frozen burger patties.

Apparently, Glenallen Hill’s arachnophobia once caused him to injure himself sleep running away [...]
Bruins-Lightning Game Postponed due to Snowstorm “Nemo”
After already moving back the start time from 1 to 7 p.m., the NHL has postponed tonight’s game between the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning due to the blizzard “Nemo.” If only the game could have been played outside. The postponement comes despite both teams already being in Boston. The storm dumped over two [...]
Ravens’ Ray Lewis Used PEDs to Return in Time for Playoffs
Apparently Wes Welker’s wife forgot to add one item to her scathing Ray Lewis rant on Facebook: Cheater. According to a story in Sports Illustrated’s next issue, Lewis used a banned substance during his recovery from a torn right triceps, and despite that he will be playing in Super Bowl 47. Mitch Ross, who owns Sports with Alternatives [...]
Ravens WR Boldin Talks Trash, Media Overreacts, the World Keeps on Spinning
When asked how Sunday’s AFC Championship rematch would differ from last year, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin simply responded, “Because we’ll make it different.” How so? “We’ll win.” And thus began a minor media maelstrom about Boldin’s (supposedly) brash prediction.

Fairhaven, The Movie: Q&A with Director Tom (Not Brady) O’Brien
Tom Brady: NFL quarterback, multimillionaire, three time Super Bowl champion, married to a supermodel. Everything a guy could wish for.
