  I’ll be honest, I have not paid that much attention to the proceedings in the past 140-something days of the NBA Lockout. As huge of a fan as I am of my Boston Celtics and the NBA in general, it’s been very low in my sports priority list as far as watching coverage or [...]

As a fan of the NBA, the last thing I want to have happen when the lockout is eventually resolved is for the league’s stars not to be able to play in the 2012 season (we can all agree there will not be a 2011-2012 season at this point, right?) due to injury.  Now I [...]

I don’t know what’s been going on down on Yawkey Way for the past few weeks but seems to be taking an awfully long time to come up with a new manager for the Red Sox, hasn’t it? I mean Terry Francona left the team on September 30th. We’ve been led to believe that out [...]

It’s been an interesting week in Red Sox Nation. We’ve had a few more interviews in the search for the manager that will ultimately replace Terry Francona. The gate on the free agency market has been opened up and although we haven’t seen a flurry of activity yet, a significant signing that affects the Red [...]

Multiple sources, including Peter Abraham with the Boston Globe (who is citing a report by CSNPhilly.com insider Jim Salisbury) are reporting that Red Sox free agent closer Jonathan Papelbon has signed a four year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Day by day the threat that the NBA season will not resume in 2011 gets more and more real. Even with mediator George Cohen stepping in to attempt to achieve a resolution, it seems games will be cancelled through November at least. Former players from other sports are even putting in their two cents. Former [...]

As the NBA lockout looms on and the fate of the 2011-2012 season lay in the hands of a mediator, basketball fans are itching for some live action. Though it may be some time before we will see real NBA games that count for something, some of the stars of the league have been attempting [...]

With all due respect to Ben Cherington, if it is true that Theo Epstein has accepted a deal to be the new GM of the Chicago Cubs, I think I could be the next general manager of your Boston Red Sox. In all seriousness, the only thing that qualifies me professionally is that I have [...]

According to Karen Gullo of Bloomberg, former Celtics center Bill Russell is accusing the NCAA of using his likeness to sell videos without his consent. Also named in the lawsuit is video game maker Electronic Arts, whose is accused of using Russell’s likeness in their NCAA video game within a “Tournament of Legends” feature. Apparently another [...]
