Patriots Snowed Under By Baltimore Blizzard

Front page, above-the-fold, full-photo feature pfffft.

I know a lot of you must thing I'm no fun at all, but that's not true. Some of my biting wit and sarcasm is funny, and my passion for basketball (enviro-friendly, too) is to a fault; however, I'm not laughing at the elevated role sports plays in newspapers because it's not funny.

America is in real trouble, and the -- I hate to say it, but it's true -- the
Zionist-American MSM COMPLEX are peddling distractions, diversions, and more wars.

That's not funny at all, and kind of takes the joy out of sports for me.

Wow, HAVE I CHANGED in just a FEW SHORT YEARS, readers.

All because the MSM BLEW IT with the LIES about IRAQ -- when they had me at hello!!!


C'mon, readers, now that's witty and funny!!


What I write about and comment on is NOT, and that is why you also get !

FOXBOROUGH - This was bad. It was the Winter Un-Classic. Through the golden years at Gillette the motto has been “do your job,’’ but yesterday it appeared the only guys who’d done their job were the Guatemalan snow shovelers who’d been hired to de-ice the stadium....

The Patriots squeaked by the Bills in the opener, but it was never right. Road losses in New York and Denver brought out red flags. Then came the blown game against the Colts when Head Coach Bill Belichick went for it on fourth and 2. The Patriots never recovered. They could not beat good teams. They were blown out in New Orleans on “Monday Night Football.’’ Horrible losses in Miami and Houston marked the stretch run. They coughed up big fourth-quarter leads. Team MVP Wes Welker blew out his knee in the final game of the season (Welker watched yesterday from the owner’s box and probably had trouble seeing since Robert and Jonathan Kraft were in the row in front of him in their traditional lifeguard chairs). It was clear quarterback Tom Brady was hurting all along....

Making matters worse, Rex Ryan and the hated Jets are still alive. The Patriots had hoped to be in San Diego for Round 2 next week, but now it is the Jets who’ll play that game. Ouch....

A raft of absolutes was shattered. Belichick and Brady had never lost a home playoff game (8-0). The Patriots were 11-1 lifetime in the playoffs at home and hadn’t lost a home playoff game since 1978, when they were beaten by Wade Phillips’s father. Brady had won 23 consecutive starts at Gillette. The Patriots never had lost to the Ravens (5-0).

Now all those streaks are gone....

And so am I.

Pitchers and catchers report Feb. 18.

Ummm, I'd rather they not, 'kay?

Bad message for the kids.

And besides, you would also save some trees from the ax, help the carbon footprint, and save us from devastating global warming.

Hello? Globe?

"NASCAR coverage was also expanded on the cable channel New England Sports Network, which is owned by New England Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group. The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, holds a 17 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures."

Aaaaaaah, now I understand why there are no protests at the ball games and the racetracks -- and no mention of the environmental crisis when it comes to their own self-serving interests!
