Jeff Solari and Sterling Pingree debate…… Solari says: It’s going to be weird not going to Fenway Park this summer. I was very much looking forward to seeing some of the biggest names play there. Not Trout or Altuve. You know. Def Leppard. Motley Crue. Joan Jett. Guns N’ Roses. But now that’s not going […]
What’s better than a heads up match between two storied rivals? A heads up match between two pairs of rivals; the best of the last 25 years at what they do. Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning taking on Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady at the Medalist course in Hobe Sound, Florida. As a golfer myself, […]
I hate this debate. But after 2 months of stay at home and more than a month of “The Last Dance”, I’ll finally bite on this clickbait debate. Chuck Klosterman recently said in an interview, he thinks Michael Jordan is a better basketball player, but Lebron James is better at playing basketball than Michael Jordan. […]
Watching the 2004 postseason on NESN last week was tremendous fun, reliving moments where I could not only recollect where I was, but probably also who I was with and what I was wearing too. As the games went along, there were several discussion points that I came across in the 16 years of hindsight. […]
Almost two years ago, I drew the lineage of Boston sports royalty. That blog from May 2018 is included below. Keep scrolling. Well in two years since that piece was written (I think there was a Royal wedding or baby, or a royal baby wedding that everybody was hot and heavy over) the Kingdom has […]
Bill Belichick: master of his tight lipped domain. King of the non-answer. The greatest nemesis modern media has ever known, has bested the rest at their own game. For his work on NFL Network’s “NFL 100 All-Time Team” series, Bill Belichick has been nominated for a sports Emmy award. 40-words in and I realize that […]
Without exaggeration this is the worst Red Sox trade since Babe Ruth became a Yankee. This is curse inducingly bad! I didn’t realize how ticked off I was about this entire ordeal, until someone asked me about it in the office this week and it only took me about 27 seconds to start yelling. There […]
Curt Schilling, friend of the Sports Chowdah, came up roughly 5% shy of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year. Derek Jeter and Larry Walker were the only members of this year’s class. Jeter was a no-brainer (no qualm with him not being unanimous), Larry Walker is a nice player, numbers are better […]
Anyway you cut it, the 2010’s have been very very good to Boston sporting fans, easily one of the two best decades this century. Because this is the lazy season of sports journalism, and the “is Die Hard a Christmas movie” debate has been drilled into the ground and left to smolder, it’s time for […]
This felt a lot like the Washington game. Bengals hit a big play, kept it close in the first half and couldn’t hang in the second half. But why would they want to? Cincinnati came into this game 3 losses away from drafting Heisman winner Joe Burrow. True a win against the Patriots would prove […]
