Who at NESN can I hold responsible for inflicting Brendan Walsh on the viewing public?

Fed Gov closed again tomorrow. Can't see them opening on Wednesday (another 8-12" expected Tuesday night/Wednesday. This is beginning to remind me of '78.

Jesus, it's gone crazy down there.

As long as it misses here.

It's not missing here. Fuuuuck

Gerald Posner busted for serial plagiarism.

They should add a charge of bad plastic surgery as well.

I was just thinking yesterday how nice it's been without snow messing with drivetime and whatnot. Fuuuck is right.

Joe Hags on Spiderman's show tonight. Apparently Spidey now has a blog and "isn't going to hide under an assumed name like all those bloggers who trash me--they can call you a child molester and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Edit: Love the new pic, Dan--are both shoes on? ;)

In fairness to us, Mike Adams' alleged dalliance with pedophilia has never been fully explored in this forum.

True. I was wondering why he pulled that particular uh, predilection out of the air.

I don't know. I see them hanging around for a few years, but I could see them barely making the playoffs next year. They won't be playing a last place schedule like they did this year, and their NFC South has been pretty volitale since its inception. As long as Drew Brees is their quarterback I see them as a perennial threat for at least the next three years.

In the end though, it doesn't matter. Haven't you heard that Rex Ryan will lead the Jets to five straight Super Bowl victories in the next five years?

No,no,no it's 6 super bowls in the next 5 years - ask any Boston writer.

I have family business Burlington, VT to attend to late this week, so my brother and I are leaving early Wednesday. The early models show that the storm will miss upstate Vermont and New Hampshire. We're actually missing the snowstorm by heading north. Unbelievable.

He's tremendously shiity and his next original analysis will be his first.

It likely won't snow a single flake in Vacationland. So at least we got that goin for us.

I don't care what you guys say about Brendan Walsh... he helped bring the 99 NCAA Championship to Orono, so knucklehead or no, he's good with me.

They are. That was right after his first haircut. My wife was because he looks like a little boy and not a baby anymore.

I might feel like I missed something by not catching his act, but then again we had Marty Engstrom up on Mt. Washington....

Helluva goal by Kreider there. I think the only thing York focuses on in recruiting is speed upfront. Every BC kid can fly.

Just looked him up. Love college sports. He was 25 at the start of his last year at UMO. Get a life. If you can get past the notion of granting scholarships to the least qualified students, scholarship athletes should have to be at or under the age of the average graduate.

Football has the occasional Weinke or Shinskie, but very few true freshman in NCAA hockey these days. Juniors is bigger in the US, prep school sometimes a combination of the two before getting a scholarship offer.

If I remember the story correctly, he started at BU but left due to some issues with Jack Parker. I don't know that he specifically chose to go to Maine to get back at Parker, but it was successful for UMaine and seemed to coincide with a bit of a relative downturn for the Terriers (more anecdotal on this end as UNH and BC rose as Hockey East powers in the late 90's).


One could argue that athletes who go on Mormon missions are similarly bizarre... as Feejis just noted.

I hope Brendan Walsh is a better police officer than he is a hockey analyst, because he's brutal on this telecast:

I really don't know what to make of Craig Janney either. Looks like he spends the game action at the Penalty Box. Comb your hair, man!

Lets not let the Super Bowl aftermath go by without memorializing Albert Breer's prediction from yesterday's Globe game preview story:

Quote

Let the questions begin.

Is Peyton Manning the greatest ever?

What has Jim Caldwell done to make this Colts team as clutch as it is in Year 1 that Tony Dungy struggled to do throughout his seven years as coach?

Can anyone match the résumé Bill Polian has as an executive?

And what about a team that hasn't lost legitimately all year tossing aside a run at 19-0? Is this vindication? Or will it haunt the players when they look back?

At about 10 p.m. tonight, America will be looking for answers to all of those, because that's about when Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay will be accepting the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in four years.

What's more, Dungy is right: This one won't be all that difficult for the Colts.

Saw this gal on Comcast for the first time today...she either lost some pounds she didn't need to, or filled up her sweater artificially. She was like a toothpick spearing to overstuffed olives.

Oh, I was sick of New Orleans by the time that 4th down pass hit the turf. They've done their duty. Now get off the stage.

By the way, they have a defensive back named "Usama". The terrorists won. :D
