    2023 PGA Tour

    The scene at Riviera: Woods continues his heroic comeback, carding 1-under for the tournament. Coming off the 18th green, the crowd in L.A. gives Tiger a fine round of applause. And anyone who has grown up a sports fan in Boston cannot possibly understand how that crowd did not rise for a...

    1/2 - Pens/Bruins at Fenway

    First time I saw Bucyk play was on the Uke line, w/Stasiuk & Horvath. Happy we're both still around.

    The Summit Series: Remembering Game One

    Game 1 of the Summit Series took place in the Montreal Forum on September 2, 1972. It's the most important sports event I've ever attended. The Summit Series was the first time, ever, that the best Canadian hockey players faced the best Russian hockey players, because NHL players didn't play in...

    Eck is done in the NESN booth after the season

    The Eckian terminology -- the cheese and salad and pairs of shoes -- was off-putting at first. But once I focused on what he was saying instead of how he was saying it, he was a joy. Now we're left with a broadcast booth (and a team) that's an embarrassment.

    Former Raiders WR Ruggs charged in fatal crash, released from Las Vegas Raiders

    Craig MacTavish played for the Bruins in the early 80s; he was known more for toughness than scoring ability. In the 83-84 season, MacTavish was driving drunk and caused an accident that killed Kim Ridley. He was charged with vehicular homicide and spent about a year in jail. Most assumed that...

    Pats Re-sign Cam Newton to a 1-Year Deal

    It did work out well, in a way. We got the #1 draft pick, which became a very good QB. (Unfortunately, Jim Plunkett's best years were with Oakland, but that's a different story.)

    "Spot and Choose": New Proposal for Overtime Rules

    The Ravens are proposing an intriguing change to overtime, according to PFT: "It works like this: One team picks the spot of the ball to start overtime, and the other team chooses whether to play offense or defense. "If the one team picks, for example, the offense’s own 20 yard line, the...

    2020 Pats: Broncos Game Postponed Until Next Sunday (10/18)

    Duct tape can cover one leak, or two leaks, or maybe even three or four. But at some point, you figure out that duct tape doesn't fix everything. If the NFL has any hope of the season continuing, they need to get into a bubble.

    Remembering May 10, 1970

    The next season, one of the most popular shows in Boston was TV 38's "The Road to the Stanley Cup," a rebroadcast of all/most of the games in the 69-70 season. Everyone loved reliving the season, especially during the Bruins' incredible run and dominance of the 70-71 season. But when the Habs...

    Overseas baseball is back!

    Much more convenient to be watching the 3:00pm replay on ESPN2. Other than what's in this thread, not much chance of having inadvertently seen a final score.

    Remembering May 10, 1970

    Yes, of course, you're right -- the Espo/Hodge/Stanfield trade was before the 67-68 season. And it was every bit as crucial as Orr joining the team. When the trade was made, a great many Bruins fans (including me) weren't real happy. We knew nothing about Hodge or Stanfield, and Esposito had a...

    Remembering May 10, 1970

    May 10 will be the 50th anniversary of the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup, their first such victory since 1941. This post – sort of a long read, I suppose – is my recollection of those times. The 69-70 Bruins By the start of the 69-70 season, the Bruins were by far the most popular sports team...

    DE Michael Bennett Traded to Dallas for a 7th

    Still, it's a bit surprising that they'd trade someone to a team that they're playing in 4 weeks.
