Cubs Fans the Most Obnoxious in Baseball? Hardly.

Maybe, just Marty Brennaman doesn’t want Hank Steinbrenner to feel like the only guy in MLB who speaks before he thinks. Why else would Brennaman, announcer for the since-when-are-they-so-great Cincinnati Reds, go on the radio in Chicago and call Cubs fans “brain-dead”?
That isn’t even the worst of it, or the part that gets our red […]

Our favorite part? When he asks for the ball back. As if.

When March Madness Meets Pink and Purple

The time has come, ladies and gentlemen, to put my fellow March Madness pool bloggers in their respective places. We wanted to play nice, but clearly, these guys prefer trash-talking over patty cake. So let the games begin.
It all started the other day with The Play in CA.  We responded to this and thought, OK, […]

When a New England Fan Goes to Buffalo

The Bee and I shuffled off to Buffalo, NY this weekend for a social event. Here’s what I discovered, sports-wise:
1. It’s too soon to face New York Giants fans. Except for the part where we snarkily said, “Enjoy it while it lasts because the Giants won’t get another ring any time soon,” there’s nothing enjoyable about rehashing […]

5 Reasons the Patriots Jacked Up Ticket Prices

Last week the New England Patriots, dead to us after the Super Bowl but recenly upgraded to merely comatose, raised ticket prices at Gillette Stadium. Most seat prices have been hiked 31%-51%.
It isn’t clear why the team with the highest average ticket prices in the NFL is price-gouging asking people to fork over a bigger chunk of their hard-earned paychecks. We […]

David Beckham: The Guy Crush King

David Beckham is an easy guy to like. He’s a great athlete and he’s a do-gooder. He’s also hot and stylish. No wonder some chick fainted upon meeting him (and getting a Beck Peck on the cheek) last Sunday.
And if that weren’t enough, he’s got a romantic side, too. Perez Hilton reports that he surprised […]

Pats Fans Petition to Turn Back the Clock

We almost have football season out of our system, and we’re thisclose to “moving on” from the Super Bowl, as suggested by our pal Bill Belichick (or in this case, Roger Clemens, wink wink).
But we can’t slip away quietly while the anti-Pats crowd is still having a field day at our expense. (And speaking of “Pats,” thanks to […]

Pats Player Busted for Pot

Just because a guy plays professional football and is on the payroll of the New England Patriots, don’t assume he can make ends meet. How else to explain the arrest of defensive back Willie Andrews, charged with possession of marijuana and intent to distribute?
Oh yeah . . . and Andrews got popped while driving an unregistered […]

Celebrity Sitings at the Super Bowl

We’re New England Patriots fans, in case you hadn’t noticed. Given the ups and downs of being a sports fan, we had to get our enjoyment elsewhere Sunday. The only two things we liked about the Super Bowl were the commercials and the celebrity-spotting. Read on to see who was there, complete with superlatives in various categories. (Look, we had to […]
