Do They Have to Put New York Through This?
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — One of the bigger news stories over the past week has been the Obama administration's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other 9/11 co-conspirators at a trial to be held in New York sometime next year and not before a military tribunal. I gave myself some time to think about this and ... (more) Do They Have to Put New York Through This?

Thierry Henry of ... (more) And You Thought MLB Umpires Were Bad?

Even Yankee Fans Like Thom's (Well, at Least For Trivia)
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — My friends Lisa and Jon at Subway Squawkers did a very nice write-up of their experience taking part in Trivia Night last night at Thom's.

Winning Extremely Ugly
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — I spent Sunday afternoon at Bar None, the Vikings/Saints hangout in Manhattan, checking out the Vikings-Lions game. It was the first time I had been back in a few weeks. Despite the fact the Vikes were 16 1/2 point favorites, bum teams like the Detroit Lions always scare me. There's an old ... (more) Winning Extremely Ugly
The Bell Begins Its Toll
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — And that bell will be tolling for one Charlie Weis, as Notre Dame lost on Saturday night at Pittsburgh to the Panthers, 27-22.

Guess What Capt. Tange & I Have In Common?
Guess What Capt. Tange & I Have In Common?
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — So, what would that be you're asking yourself? That Derek Jeter and I were born in same town? That he and I have similar range playing shortstop? That we both could get any woman we want at the drop of a hat? You'd be wrong on all three. Actually, Jeter made a cameo appearance in the new Will ... (more) Guess What Capt. Tange & I Have In Common?
Happy Anniversary Felix
Happy Anniversary Felix
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — It was on this day, in an unknown year, that "Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence." And this was born one of the greatest sitcoms in TV history, "The Odd Couple." (I'm going to say 40th anniversary, as the show debuted in September 1970.) He went to live with his ...

Where Else But Boston?
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — Jason Varitek, who will be 38 this coming April, took the full five days he was allotted to decide he'd exercise his player option for $3 million and will be back with the Red Sox in 2010. But let's face facts. What other choice did Tek have? No one, and I mean no one, was going to give him ... (more) Where Else But Boston?
Thank You.
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918 (and exactly two months after the Red Sox won their fifth World Series title), World War I came to an end. And to commemorate that historic day, the United States celebrates Veterans Day, to remember those brave souls who ... (more) Thank You.
Trivia Q&A: November 10
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — We had a nice crowd in for Trivia Night on Tuesday. 20 teams took part, and I was ably assisted by my friend John, who is about to launch his own trivia night in a bar in New York, and I showed him the way I do it, and I'm sure he will incorporate some of my techniques into his own version, ...

Wake's Back For Two More
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — The Red Sox and Tim Wakefield reached agreement on a two-year deal today that will pay Wake $5 million for 2010 and 2011 plus incentives.

Vikings Lead Increases On Their Off Week
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — The Minnesota Vikings had their lead in the NFC North go up to three full games today, and they don't even take the field, as it is their off-week. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers both lost. Chicago was routed by the Arizona Cardinals at home, 41-21, and Green Bay blew a two touchdown ... (more) Vikings Lead Increases On Their Off Week
Navy Sinks ND Again
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — Notre Dame saw their chance at a BCS bowl game go right out the window on Saturday as they dropped a disheartening game to Navy, 23-21.

Hot Stove Begins With a Bang
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — The Red Sox were opened for business for the off-season when they swung a trade with the Florida Marlins, getting outfielder Jeremy Hermida for minor league pitchers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez.

Not In This or Any Other Lifetime
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — The title of this post is what I tell people who ask me if I'd ever root, under any circumstances, for the New York Yankees. Think I will offer them and their fans my congratulations? Look elsewhere. I am a Boston Red Sox fan and will be until the day I die. And I am damn f***ing proud of that. ...

Sic 'em, Pedro
quinnmedia.blogspot.com — From yesterday: "I'm pretty sure that every Boston fan out there can feel proud that I'm going to try and beat the Yankees and I'm going to give just the same effort I always did for them.
