Well, last night at 11:23 was the last time legendary Boston sportscaster, Bob Lobel, signed off the air. He once said, “thousands of sportscasts, and none of them went the way they were supposed to.” I guess last night began about the same. A little after I got home last night, Bob [...]

1. The temperature is 76 degrees, with low relative humidity. Basically, this is perfect weather for humans. I don’t care who you are, 76 and not muggy is bliss.
2. Currently, 3 players on the Boston Red Sox are hitting above .400. Those three guys lead the AL in hitting. The Sox lead the league in [...]

There’s a lot to say about last night’s Super Bowl. Brady was apparently more hurt than we thought (Barry and I called BS on the ankle the second it hit the news, we were wrong). The unbelievable Offensive Line of the Pats got their asses handed to them. Belichick went for it [...]

That’s right, loyal reader(s), tellhimfred.com is still on the air. After recovering successfully from the AFC Championship game, Jimmy and Barry, along with the rest of the crew, Cutty and Prime (plus Mrs. Prime!) took a first place victory in bar trivia Tuesday, notable for no other reason than it nets us more free beer.

HOWEVER…
Just weeks after Tony Dungy expressed his “sadness” at “Videogate”, he and his “good guys” organization [...]

In trying to think of something objective to say about this game, I can’t come up with anything. Eff it, I am too biased, and I hate Manning too much. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great QB, and I’m sure he’ll toss a TD or two today, but the Pats are [...]

Someone’s gotta give Denver a little love. But it’s not coming from this corner of Boston. I justd saw Brett Favre looking like Tom Brady in MNF. Or is it Tom looking like Brett? Not sure, but after losing (swept) the World Series in Denver and having to watch the Sox [...]

Howdy folks once again, from the land of “holy crap, the local sports collective is unstoppable!” That’s right, Boston. Game 3 was billed as a nail biter: Matsuzaka gave up a lot of home runs in te second half of the season, and hasn’t really been the $101M knockout we imported from the land of Sapporo [...]

Like many other Bostonians, I’m dragging my heels this morning, and love it. The Patriots dismantled the Dolphins, which even though we knew they could, we didn’t expect to see Brady break his 1 game TD record, for the second straight week…, or that the Pats would set an NFL 1st half record for [...]
