Boston Triple Crown?





It's time for a little sports wrap-up of my favorite teams, which all hail from Beantown! Is it possible that Boston will have 3 championships? I think so, at least that's what the numbers say. I know the whole spy gate controversy was a total damper on my Pats, but just look at the results! Let me just give you some stats so you can be on the same page even if you're not a die hard sports fan like myself. Tom Brady sets a record 50 touchdown passes, the franchise sets a record of 75 touchdowns in a single season, and 589 points for the year, which is a NFL record. The end result is 16-0! Did I mention one of the main reasons for their success? Randy Moss has calmed down and matured so much as a player. He caught a record 23 touchdown passes from the Stetson model. It's the first time that a team has went undefeated in a 16 game season. The '72 Miami Dolphins were 14-0 and then won the Super Bowl! Basically, New England is the clear favorite to win the big one.

Now on to the big three in green. Garnett, Allen, and Pierce are averaging 59.5 points this season. We've just reached the 30 game mark and they're dominating the East and West. The team's record is 27-3! The question is, can the big three stay healthy enough to keep it going? I think what Boston has this season is remarkable, they have so many bench players that piece it all together. Eddie House is a journeyman in the league, but his outside shooting has brought him much success with the team. Boston has so many outside shooters: Ray Allen 38%, Pierce 40%, Rondo 33%, House 44%, Tony Allen 44%, Posey 40%, Pruitt 33%, Scalabrine 30%, need I say more!!! The Celtics are a well oiled machine and until the wheels fall off they're on their way to the promise land.

I can only hope that the Pats and Celts can follow in the footsteps of my beloved Red Sox and bring the triple crown to Beantown. There's still 50 games left in the NBA regular season and the Patriots have a bi-week before they start their run for the trophy. Only the strong survive and in the words of my boss man, Lets go Redtriotics!!!

NFL Sunday

(REUTERS/Marc Serota)

Since we're on the subject of sports, how about those 7-0 Pats. I would've continued with the Patriots in the Red Sox post, but I feel they need to shine all by themselves. It's NFL Sunday and what could be more exciting than watching the Pats beat the Redskins! Also, Giants and Dolphins will play across the pond in London! The commish of the NFL is trying to push mass marketing in order to expand the NFL to Europe over the next couple of years. How popular do you think the NFL will be in Europe?

The Chargers and Texans game should be a dramatic and exciting addition to the Sunday hoopla. I have to admit, the thought of a NFL game being played near the wildfires was a little scary. It took forever for the both teams to find out where they were going to play. I totally think Goodell's decision was solely based on dollar signs. I know that the fires have died down and all, but damn to play with so much going on is a bit distracting! Oh well the show must go on and I will definitely be watching.

Boston is Having the Best Week Ever!

Keith Nordstrom


Patriots made a believer out of everybody, they routed the Cowboys on Sunday 48-27 and the Red Sox and Indians are tied in the ALCS. Manny was definitely being Manny in the first two games and it seemed like the Indians had almost given up, but in Game 2 Trot Nixon started a rally and the other players followed. The Indians put up 7 runs in the 11th to top the BoSox. Manny has been batting .500 and that's mainly on 0-2 counts. Big Papi has been hustling even on a bum knee, he's been laying it all out on the field. They shall meet again on Monday in Cleveland. I hope those damn bugs aren't flying around like they did in the Yankees series! I mean that was funny, seeing A-Rod slap bugs off his pretty face, but this is my team, so no distractions please! Boston is on it's way to having the best year ever, if the Sox can stay focused and put the Indians away. Patriots have the chance to clinch a playoff spot by Thanksgiving, how crazy is that! Lets go Red Sox and keep it moving Pats!

Patriots and Belichick Sued for $184 Million!

A New York Jets fan sues the Patriots and Bill Belichick for $184 Million! The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., by season-ticket holder Carl Mayer. He's seeking damages on grounds that the Pats " deceived customers". I'm angry as hell too, but $184 million is going a little to far! What the Patriots have done is completely unforgivable, but they were punished, although I didn't agree with them, but the team was punished by the commissioner. I don't think any judge is going to award you anything other than a refund for your season-tickets and maybe a cool mil, it would be ludicrous to expect more!

Patriots Beat San Diego Despite Drama!

So Sunday was a very interesting game. I was looking forward to see how the Patriots would come out after a turbulent week of fines and humiliation for their espionage. I think the consensus was the Patriots have enough talent to overcome any scrutiny from the general public and the sports community. They came out with such an intensity, ready to handle any team that stands in their way. Belichick was composed on the sidelines, even though I feel he shouldn't be there. I mean if you're going to suspend Wade from the Dallas Cowboys and he's only the quarterback coach, then you should definitely suspend a head coach!! Anyway, the Patriots routed the San Diego Chargers 38-14 and the troops left the field confident that no help was needed. The Chargers defense was a hot mess and Tom Brady was business as usual. I don't think this team will be going 14-2 when the season is all over! A source close to the team revealed that the Pats have a whole reference library that includes videos of other defensive strategies by other teams. If this is true and some of the video is during their Super Bowl championships then I wonder if the titles will be stripped and given to the opposite team, lets just say Philly!

Roger Goodell Ready to Punish Pats!

I'm so disappointed in the New England Patriots! They're my favorite NFL team and the news of them spying is just so messed up! I remember last year when they played against the Green Bay Packers, the team was accused of spying then and Roger Goodell made it very clear that it would not be tolerated and there will be consequences if any team is caught. Well way to go Pats, such a great way to start the season off! The same video assistant that was on the sidelines during the Packers game was the same person from last Sunday's game. The league is determining what punishments need to be given. The rumor is the team will get a stiff fine and will have to give up some draft picks. The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone. Do you think this will tarnish the Patriots good name? Do you think that the team shouldn't be in the postseason?
