The NBA playoffs are here. There are some intriguing match ups in the first round. Here are my predictions for who will advance to the second round round. Eastern Conference #1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #8 Detroit Pistons: The Cavs should cruise in this series. Detroit is well coached and they’ll give Lebron and company a run for their money but in the end, the Cavs are a much better…
Maybe the NFL truly doesn’t like the Patriots. O.K, maybe that’s not true however they didn’t do them any favors with their schedule. Its a bitch, especially on the road. The Pats are going to play their usual divisional opponents and the other division winners in the AFC but in addition to that, they are also playing the AFC North and the NFC West. Here are my five thoughts on…
The Bruins did the right thing retaining coach Claude Julien. While its easy to place the blame for the Bruins failures the past two seasons at his feet, the reality is Julien doesn’t have the players necessary to coach this team to a cup. General manager Don Sweeney needs to equip Julien with the right players. I know the Bruins love their core but it might be time to…

As a life long Celtics fan, I detest Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. However, even I was in awe at Bryant’s farewell performance last night. Bryant scored 60 points in his final game. It was truly impressive. The only way he could have scripted it better was if the Lakers won a championship (thank goodness they didn’t). Last night was a harsh reminder that time flies. I remember when Bryant…
The Red Sox have to be kidding themselves if they think Sox fans will buy this bullshit that Pablo Sandoval was placed on the 15 day D.L today because of a shoulder strain. Yeah and I’m a model. Give me a break! Sandoval was placed on the D.L today for one reason and one reason only. To get in shape! Period! That’s it! He’s fat and he needs to…
I can’t say I’m surprised that the Patriots released 2014 first round pick Dominique Easley. Easley had “top ten” talent coming out of Florida in 2014 but a myriad of injuries, namely a torn right ACL limited Easley to only three games his last year in Gainsville. The Patriots reached for Easley. I didn’t like the pick at the time because of Easley’s injury history. You can’t take a…
(courtesy of NHL.com) The best two months in sports are here! The Stanley Cup playoffs are upon us. As much as it pains me that my beloved Montreal Canadiens aren’t in the tournament, I’m still going to watch. Why? Its for the cup! Its the best playoff tournament in all of sports. Yes, its better than March Madness. Anyway, here are my picks for each first round series. Eastern Conference…
No one is immune from the Taiwanese Animation, not even a retiring legend like Kobe. This video is great. Its been a while since the fine folks from the far east put out a goofy video like this. Enjoy.
“Blount” force trauma is back! The Patriots have re-signed running back LeGarrette Blount to a one year deal. Bill Belichick played his cards right with Blount. He didn’t rush to re-sign him. Instead, he gauged the running back market and other teams interest in Blount. Once he saw that Blount was struggling to find work, he re-signed him. Blount rushed for 703 yards and six touchdowns on 165 carries last…
