I hate you, NFL Network

November 29th, 2007 · No Comments

I mean, you’re not as bad as TBS. Your announcers don’t totally suck. And you had your HD channel ready to go for this game, which is more than I can say about TBS at the beginning of the MLB playoffs (and still more than I can say for the Celtics and Comcast SportsNet, which […]

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Sounds good to me…

AIMing high

November 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Apropos of nothing, one of my friends has been on AIM for 44 days, 8 hours and 22 minutes. Is this a record?
I can’t remember being online for more than 15 days or so.
It has to be noted that he’s not at school anymore, and I believe he owns his own house. So how […]

I shut the need to register to comment off about a week ago and already there’s been two spammers trying to post links in the comment section of my page. Listen, I’m registered on Technorati and I’m rocking a SEO program now, but there’s no reason people should be finding this blog and making spam […]

Editing is not this difficult

November 15th, 2007 · No Comments

Seriously, ESPN.com, make an effort. Even a copy editor who knows nothing about sports should know this is incorrect.
Lowell, who made $9 million last year, was selected by the Yankees in the 20th round of the 1995 amateur draft. He played eight games for New York in the 1998 season before being dealt to the […]

Dropping slogans

November 15th, 2007 · No Comments

I’ve been busy without much time to update lately, and I’m about to run off to work now. Last night, got home late after watching the Celtics rip apart New Jersey for the second time in a week. Almost as incredible as that is this clip, where Paul Piere and KG joke with each other […]

No Patriots make for a dull Sunday

November 11th, 2007 · No Comments

A Sunday without the Patriots playing is really long and kind of lame.
I woke up late after going out in the city to Grand Canal for Tim’s birthday last night. Jeff crashed on the couch, and we woke up, grabbed some Starbucks, had some food and then I came home to hang around. I’ve been […]

Blogcetera

November 7th, 2007 · 2 Comments

So I noticed the blog’s administrative options had been forcing people to create a registered user then log in then get comments approved then blah blah blah.
It’s been severely limiting the comments people feel like posting when they have to go through all that garbage, so forget it. Comment away. No registration required. Should […]

Worth every Schilling

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments

I’m so glad to have Curt back on the roster next year — this gives us so much flexibility with the rotation, and with a 1-year, $8 million ($14m with incentives) contract, it’s definitley a good move for the team. If anything, Curt’s definitely going to help our stable of young pitchers (Lester, Buchholz, Dice-K, […]

A little laughter for Monday morning…

November 5th, 2007 · No Comments

This made me laugh this morning. Apparently, it doesn’t take much on a Monday, but this will do.

A big thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday night for my 25th birthday. I really appreciate it, and it was a hell of a lot of fun. Maybe doing the “BC Sucks” chant and trying to […]
