If you brought your tsk-tsking with you to the blog today, you might want to tuck it away for this post. (We realize that most Gossip On Sports readers are not likely to be the tsk-tsk type, but you never know if someone’s elderly schoolmarm aunt happens upon the blog.)
Why the warning? Well, we’re about […]

It’s not unusual for a fan to wear the jersey of his or her favorite player. This bloggerette has one for Daisuke Matsuzaka and one for Tom Brady and (best of all) a Bill Belichick hoodie.
But who among us would wear a fan shirt every day for four years?
Twelve-year-old David Witthoft, for one.
Indeed, the fan […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

1. Cheer for the opposting team. For examnple, if your fellow Super Bowl partygoers are New England Patriots fans, root for the New York Giants. (And vice versa).
2. Play a Madden ‘08 simulation during the game. For a bonus, start 5 minutes early and claim to “know” what’s going to happen next.
3. Say you’re on […]

In case you’re tuning in late, please check out Part I of our pre-Super Bowl interview with Winnie McCarthy, for whom Tom Brady held open a door back in their college days.
GoS: Was Tom wearing cologne the day he held the door open for you?
WM: Not that I can remember, but he did smell very clean, […]

Boston is atwitter with the arrival of Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, also known as She Who Never Grins, also known as SevereBob SpongeThong (second cousin twice removed to SpongeBob SquarePants. Who knew?).
Allegedly, David Beckham’s twiggier half is in town for a Spice Girls concert and to promote her line of dvb jeans. […]

Did you hear that? It was the sound of every New England Patriots in the world fan heaving a very deep sigh of relief. Now listen closely. Did you hear that, the expletive-filled rush of noise? That’s the sound of every New York Giants and/or anti-Patriots fan cursing the quarterback.
We’re happy—no, make that ecstatic—to report […]

We’re delighted to see the TMZ.com video showing Tom Brady without a cast (1m).
We’re in California right now. No, not to rub in the AFC win to San Diego Chargers fans (even if yours truly did wear the Bill Belichick hoodie on the plane). Anyway, if we listen closely, we can almost here the collective “Phew!” from New England.
And […]
