While Jerry Remy is recovering from his surgery
to remove a small, low-grade cancerous tumor from his
lung, Dennis Eckersley has stepped up admirably to fill his spot in NESN's booth covering Red Sox games. Now, Eckersley is phenomenal in the studio. I think most fans would agree he brings ...

News broke earlier today that after three years,
Tony Kornheiser will step down from his spot in
the Monday Night Football booth due to his fear of flying. He'll be replaced by, of all people, Jon Gruden. Chucky joins Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski to give us one of the most interesting booths ...

There are different kinds of smart. I have
had this same conversation with friends in the past,
and I've developed a bit of a theory, here. There are simply different types of smart. Everyone has friends who got all the plaudits in school, worked extremely hard, got the 4.0 in school and then ...

I've long felt that the most important battles
on a football field are among the 8-10 players
who you hear the least about: the offensive and defensive lines. Offensive linemen, especially, often find themselves among the least heralded players in the league. Most writers will tell you that ...

Sorry for the slow posting the last few
days. It's finals time and as I finish up
my degree, it means I unfortunately have to put some things aside. Last one is tomorrow and then it's back to regular posting. There are at least some certainties in the sports world. Stadium food will always ...

Well that didn't last long. If you had
hopes of the Celtics riding the high of a
game seven win over Chicago and coasting to an easy game one win over Orlando, you're probably not in a good mood right now. The Magic did, well, what the Magic do. Shooting 27 three-pointers and making 9 ...

That's it. I can't take anymore. I'm too
tired. How can any of these guys still stand?
I'm exhausted and all I've been doing is sitting on the couch and watching. I mean seriously. Just look at this post on ESPN's True Hoop recapping the 10 best moments of this series. It's been six games and ...

I had been kicking the question around my
head the last day or so and PTI was
kind enough to ask it for me this afternoon: Will the Celtics-Bulls Game 5 be a dud or a classic? Well we got out answer tonight. You'd be forgiven for thinking your Tivo was on the fritz when Paul Pierce hit ...

I started writing this post Sunday night when
the draft had finished and thought better of it.
I wanted to first get an idea of what the other experts were saying about the overall draft but realized, well, that's kind of pointless in the end. There have been such disparate grades handed out ...

The Patriots have traded cornerback Ellis Hobbs to
the Eagles for two fifth round picks, according to
Boston.com Hobbs was signed through this season, so it makes sense in terms of timing. It's pretty much the last time they can get value for him without resigning him next season and they did ...

And a joyous day it is. Of course
it's 85 degrees and beautiful out so I'll try
to make this quick. Admittedly, the #23 pick hardly fills most people's heads with thoughts of out-of-the-box superstars and Hall of Famers, but the #23 pick, as any draftnik will tell you, is nothing to throw ...

Tip of the hat to Pro Football Talk
for finding Peter King's report that the Patriots are
making calls trying to find a way to get into one of the top 10 spots in the draft to find someone who can fill their myriad needs. The only reason to move up in such an aggressive way, especially when ...

ranging from the upcoming NFL Draft (we've previewed what the media is saying about the Patriot's likely pick here as well as who they maybe should be looking at a few weeks back. Going into the ...
