Top 5: Touchdown Celebrations of 2011

Last night, I watched Victor Cruz catch a short pass from Eli Manning.  He then turned the corner and took off toward pay dirt like he stole something.  Once he scored, he broke into his patent Victor Cruz Salsa Dance, complete with accompanying music blared from the Met Life Stadium speakers. I also realized there [...]

Mumbles Therapy

Today is only Wednesday and it has already been one of the longest weeks I’ve ever experienced.  The best therapy is for me to just rant about subject matter that I feel I know best: the world of sports.  Beware here comes a slew of unorganized thoughts better classified as Mumbles. *Chris Paul will be [...]

Papel-Gone

Today, the Philadelphia Phillies and Jonathan Papelbon officially reached an agreement that would put Papelbon in a Phillies uniform for the next 4 seasons to the tune of $50 million.  Papelbon was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 4th round of the 2003 draft and came up through the farm system, first landing [...]

Is Sizemore the Right Answer?

Fresh off a Patriots loss to the Giants that was eerily similar to Super Bowl 42, I sit down at my lap top tonight to write about the Boston Red Sox.  While the NBA is in the midst of a lockout that could very well cancel the entire 2011-2012 NBA season and prematurely end the [...]

The Search for a Manager

I last wrote on this blog on July 8, 2011, 4 months ago.  For whatever reason I lost my motivation to write after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.  It is fair to say that I am a microcosm of the 2011 Boston Red Sox.  For awhile, I was going at a good clip, writing [...]

Who Do You Want in RF in 2012?

JD Drew is playing his last season as a member of the Boston Red Sox.  I am in the minority when it comes to an opinion on JD Drew.  I think he gave 5 quality years, playing the best defense in baseball (statistically proven) and making contributions to the club when they most needed them. [...]

Patterson’s Week 13 MLB Rankings

Sorry to the faithful readers of this blog for the late post of my rankings.  Over the Fourth of July weekend, I was busy enjoying the beach, cookouts, parades, and my close friends.  There was simply no time to get to a computer and quite frankly no desire to get to a computer either.  But [...]

Did CM Punk Save the WWE?

This post may be coming out of left field for some of you.  Most of you who know me, knew it was only a matter of time before I would break down and write something covering this subject matter. Now is that time. I have watched wrestling since I was a little boy and have [...]

Patterson’s Week 12 MLB Rankings

With the All Star Break two weeks away, I decided that instead of my usual random blurbs about each team, I will write who I think should be selected to the All Star Game.  I always like to do these things a little early and see how close I come to the actual roster.  Keep [...]

Ranking the Boston Champions

There is no doubt the last 10 years have been the greatest 10 years of any sports town in history for Boston.  No other city comes remotely close to having 7 championships in ten years.  So where do I rank those 7 championships? Let’s have a look. 7) 2004 Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers Tom [...]
