To all, In case you don't know (or care) I'm a part of the Comcast Sports NE pre- and postgame shows for every Patriots game. In a nutshell they've got me checking the web for fan interactions as well as throwing in my own opinions and comments. Anyway, probably my favorite part of the show is...

A terrific piece from Boston.com, It's what I like to call Patriots Priapism: http://www.boston.com/sports/blogs/statsdriven/2013/08/the_billenium_belichick_by_the_numbers.html The current dean of NFL head coaches, Bill Belichick, has compiled quite a résumé during his tenure with the...

ESPN's women's site did a feature on the female Boston sports fan, written by the lovely and talented Kaitee Daily. From the piece: Well said. And well deserved. No one's going to call me the world's biggest feminist. But the medical term for guys who think women can't possibly know s***...

The Gints are shopping Osi, who's got 2 years, $7.1 million left on his deal. According to Ian Rappaport, the price starts at a 1st rounder. I don't see it happening, but it's intriguing as h3ll. Anyone willing to part with one of next year's two 1sts for the legit pass rush threat that is...

With all due respect to the Stanley Cup Finals and the lockout talk and the Sox and all the other stuff that's going on, I'm so anxious to talk real football I'm about to blow a gasket. I mean it. I'm like ready to carjack some random stranger and demand he talk the Patriots roster with me...

I just watched a segment on Total Access where they were picking the best clutch plays of the year. DeSean Jackson's punt return, Jacksonville's Hail Mary batted ball, etc. So I started trying to recall the best/ most significant/ most clutch plays of the Patriots regular season. And lets say...

It occurred to me recently that we've been hearing a lot lately about how "proud" some ballplayers are and how in some cases this has turned into a concern of monumental proportions. To be honest, I was going to include Adalius Thomas in the discussion, but kind of got caught up discussing a...

Barstool Sports has a Blog Radio account that we use a few times a week, our schedules permitting. Today in honor of Draft Nerd Christmas, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to have our resident loquacious Draft Guru, Hawg, come on the air with us. Click here to listen live. And...

http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/football/patriots/jerry-thornton/2010/04/20/draft-day-plea-beli-claus Let me explain by telling you a story. Several years ago a fairly talented Boston comic decided he was getting out of the business. He had one joke another comic liked so he bought the joke...

I know this is a baseball column, but it's a slow news week so what the hell... http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/jerry-thornton/2010/03/09/geeks-will-inherit-earth It also led to a brief back & forth between Christopher Price and myself about whether the term "Stat Geek" or...

Hey all. At the risk of using the Planet at my Facebook status bar, I'm just giving those of you who've been pretty g*ddamned supportive of my efforts that I'm going to be writing a weekly column for WEEI.com. As far as I know, it's the first and only fan-based blog they have on the site and...

Some problem on their end. But I'm being a good sport about it. We just play the schedule...

Hey guys. Just letting you know I'm going on 98.5 today. 3 guesses as to what the main topic of conversation will be. Wish me luck, I'm going in... Live streaming: http://player.play.it/player/player.html?v=4.9.24b&id=20629&onestat=wbz-fm

This may sound weird, but I've always felt like I would rather read something that's well-written, even if it's about a subject I'm not interested in, than read something about a favorite subject done by a hack writer. Once in a while though... if you're lucky... you come across something who's...

A couple of weeks ago, Hawg's lovely wife and my own Shipoopi and our sister pulled out their schedules to plan a no-reason-for-it-let's-just-get-together get together. The day they came up with is today. At 5PM at Hawg's house. Which is fine by us. Great actually. To steal a line from...

Before you get the wrong idea, it's not like I ran afoul of bookies and got my legs broken or anything. This is a lesson in creative writing. I got contacted by this Vegas-based sports gambling site called Covers.com. They seem like really cool guys and asked me to write a column for their...

Mike Reiss: See dear friends, this is why you don't lose faith in BB. Even when you're two weeks into camp and you're staring at a LB corps that had no pass rush at all last year and looks even thinner this year. You must believe. He will find a way. Those two Pro Bowl seasons in Oakland...
