2012 NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Super Bowl Results

What We Learned This Week: Gambling, Impostors and Attention Whores

What Did We Learn This Week? Jan. 29 – Feb. 5 1. The Super Bowl prop bets are much more interesting than the actual Super Bowl. You can bet on anything if you’re desperate enough. As of now, the odds are still even on whether the coin toss will be heads or tails. (Come on [...]

Friday Rambling: Peyton, A-Rod, and LeBron…What’s My Problem with the Best?

With Peyton Manning announcing that he has been cleared to play next season, there has been no shortage of coverage on the topic.

What Sports of Boston Would Do to Get Dwight Howard

When Orlando uber-center Dwight Howard recently said that he’s at least open to coming to the Celtics, bells went off at Sports of Boston headquarters.

The Pro Bowl is here, which mean’s it’s now officially Super Bowl week!

What We Learned This Week: Tim ‘Tea Party’ Thomas; Pats ‘Moore’ Sterling Than Ravens

What we learned the week of January 20-27: 1. Tim Thomas hates the federal government.
