Need a quick fix to help overcome Patriots withdrawal? Here are a couple of items we’ve been kicking around TheSunBlog and SportsTalk Live the last few days, plus a few more sure to become habit for you sports junkies;
Sure didn’t take long after the Patriots demise for the Red Sox to jump back into the spotlight, did it? More Fenway expansion…finally reaching the finish line of the J.D. Drew marathon negotiations…Todd Helton trade talks…Curt Schilling’s non-retirement announcement; is it any wonder Bob Kraft and company feel like the Jan Brady of Boston pro sports? Red Sox, Red Sox, Red Sox!
Let me get this straight; The Rockies are willing to pay almost half Helton’s salary, and all they want in return is Mike Lowell, Julian Tavarez, and either Manny Delcarmen or Craig Hansen? There has to be a catch, right? Otherwise, Theo Epstein himself would be riding them out to
Middle relievers, a level I’m not sure Hansen or Delcarmen will ever rise above, are less reliable than online shopping deliveries around the holidays.
I’m happy for Adam Vinatieri. It’s nice to see good things happen to good people. Besides being a Hall of Fame kicker, Vinatieri is nothing if not good people. Quick prediction; Colts in a romp!
I hear Kevin Federline is appearing in a Super Bowl commercial where he plays a fast-food worker, and that the National Restaurant Association is livid because they say the ad belittles restaurant employees. You know your career has hit rock bottom when even Johnny from Burger King doesn’t want to be associated with you.
Hang tough, K-Fed. Keith Foulke feels your pain.
As if football season winding down isn’t bad enough, try this one on for size; Coming Sunday,
Gentlemen, crash your engines!
Trade Al Jefferson for
I still think the C’s are on the right track. But if a brief stop along the way brings Greg Oden or Kevin Durant aboard the train, this conductor is willing to delay the journey another few months.
Yes, I remember the Tim Duncan disaster. But I also remember the sight of Kevin Durant dropping 34-points on Baylor this weekend. 26 of them came in the second half. It was the fourth time this year the
It’s bad enough the NHL All-Star Game was televised by a network most of
Tiger Woods’ and Roger Federer’s dominance of their respective sports is breathtaking. Serena Williams took my breath away for another reason. That girl scares me! Here’s hoping Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli check out the women’s tennis tour when scouting linebackers.
Who would have thought a racehorse’s fight for survival and ultimate demise would be both the most courageous and touching sports story of the past 8-months? Even a cold-hearted jerk like me felt like a friend was lost Monday. Rest in peace, Barbaro.
That’s my take…what’s yours?

Teddy,
Colts in a romp? Come on. Isn't this the same Indy team that can't win "the big one"? Peyton is just lucky that Tommie Harris and Mike Brown are out for the season. Despite those two crucial injuries, the Bears still "romped" their way past the media darling Saints a few weeks back. Remember? Get ready for Chicago Bears football of old. Thomas Jones left, Cedric Benson right, Thomas Jones up the middle and Bernard Berrian deep. And special teams? They better not kick it to Devin Hester or it will be return TD #7. Keep disrespecting the Bears. The Patriots rode the disrespect bus to three titles. Bears win, Bears win!!!
