Video: Batting Stance Guy Gar Ryness Does Red Sox Batting Stances

By ⋅ February 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With Spring Training around the corner and Boston’s baseball equipment making its way down south, I think it is time to ring in the upcoming baseball season with the lighter side of America’s pastime. A while back, we showcased a video clip of Gar Ryness, or as he is known to the world: “The Batting [...]

Tom Brady Named NFL MVP

By ⋅ February 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

For the second time in his career, New England QB Tom Brady has been named the MVP of the NFL. Not only that, he became the first player to capture all 50 votes, becoming the first unanimous winner of the award. “It is always flattering to be chosen for such a prestigious award, but I [...]

Bart Scott Taking Jets-Patriots Rivalry to New Level?

By ⋅ January 15, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

We all knew the trash talking leading up to this Sunday’s Jets-Patriots showdown would be non-stop and sometimes just downright brutal. Let’s face it, even with all the rampant talk, these guys are professional athletes. They have have been around for years, heard it all, gotten used to it, been there, done that, etc. Up [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 14

By ⋅ December 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, the Sports of Boston football league has hit the playoffs. I missed out despite having the league’s 2nd highest point total. I’d like to thank Houston’s Andre Johnson for totally screwing me over and scoring that TD on Monday night with 21 seconds left. Because of that, it made another team win, thus knocking [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 13

By ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The playoffs have officially arrived in most leagues while some of you might have one week left before fantasy postseason glory begins. I personally am involved in both scenarios. With my #2 seed officially locked up (and the high point total for the regular season…thank you), I am in playoff mode. Being in a 2-QB [...]

Red Sox to Acquire Adrian Gonzalez

UPDATE: Adrian Gonzalez has passed his physical, and now he and the team must get a contract extension done by 2 p.m. on Sunday. — After many attempts after many seasons, the Red Sox have reached their goal and have finally agreed in principle to trade for All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. The deal is [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 12

For the first time in years, I have secured a playoff spot in one of my longest running football leagues. Please hold your applause. In the SoB football league, I have been on the short end of the stick all season. Despite being top five in points, I am in 10th place. The most recent [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 11

Every season we see a first round bust in fantasy football leagues. I think we are well on our way to giving that award to San Diego rookie Ryan Mathews. It just goes to show that just because you are replacing one of the best running backs in NFL history, it doesn’t mean you will [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 10

By ⋅ November 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

You know what’s funny? In countless leagues, Michael Vick went undrafted. Hell, he wasn’t taken in the SoB football league. Even if Kevin Kolb missed playing time, we couldn’t have possibly expected Vick to put up these kind of numbers. He’s gone from most exciting QB to watch, to highest paid QB of all time, to [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 9

By ⋅ November 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It has always been a personal policy of mine to be 100% honest with the readers. This week’s report will be short (like Brett Favre’s penis…are we still doing these jokes?) because as of 5:09pm today, I own Call of Duty: Black Ops. So yes, I need to dedicate a good portion of my night [...]

Bruins Fall to Blues in Shootout 2-1

By ⋅ November 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

After a disappointing loss to Washington on Friday night, the Bruins hoped to bounce back on Saturday, hosting the St. Louis Blues. Unfortunately, the B’s couldn’t stop hot Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak as Boston lost the game 2-1 in a shootout. Scoring started in the first period as St. Louis drew first blood. Ex-Bruin Vladimir [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 8

By ⋅ November 3, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I hope none of you were like me and picked the Vikings and Cowboys to make the playoffs before the start of the season. Well, nobody could have predicted such a lackluster offensive effort from Dallas and nobody could have seen a Brett Favre penis scandal coming. Expect the unexpected I suppose. How long can [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 7

By ⋅ October 26, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Want to talk about bad luck? In the SoB football league, I have the most point out of the 12 teams. Good news, right? Not in this case. Nope, thanks to several strings of unfortunate matchups, I am stuck in 10th place. This really just drives the point home that this can be a game [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 6

By ⋅ October 19, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Speaking of Brett Favre’s penis… Forget it, the well has dried up on that story. No, this past week in football has been highlighted by helmet-to-helmet hits. With three fines being dished out and very real threats of suspensions in the future, the fantasy world has been left scrambling for DeSean Jackson replacements. Speaking of [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 5

By ⋅ October 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I know what you’re thinking. Am I going to make any “Brett Favre penis jokes?” The answer is no. I’m sorry, but I think I am a little above that kind of low brow humor. Not that much above it, but still, I like to maintain a certain level of class around here. Although, if you [...]
