No, JD Drew isn’t considering making half-court shots for the Globetrotters…he’s got his heart set on doing God’s work. If he does decide to call it quits, Drew says he wants to travel and perform missionary work. That’s great. I have a better idea, instead of waxing poetic about saving the world, how about get [...]

One of my biggest regrets in life, beyond that time I refused to get in that car with Kevin Millar and six drunk BC girls (honestly, what was I thinking?), is that I’ve never been to spring training. Not once. But if anything was gonna push me to cross that off my bucket list, it’s [...]

CHB has a nice story about John Henry today. It happened to include a picture of Mrs. Henry, the hottie formerly known as Linda Pizzuti. I immediately muted the conference call I was on, closed out the Heidelberg Incident Report, and fired up Google. She is smoking hot. Now take a look at the two [...]

Coming up next on “Red Sox Real Married Couples,” there’ll be laughs aplenty as John Henry and his young bride meet with a robot fertility clinician! Right after this word from the Whiskey-Crazed Fisherman! Damn, Boof. You see that NESN reporter? Indeed. That reporter’s been raising the Boof-O-Meter for weeks now. I may have to [...]

Actor Andrew Koenig, who had been missing since February 14, committed suicide, his father told reporters after his son’s body was found Thursday in a park in Vancouver, British Columbia. “My son took his own life,” [...]

You’ve got to hand it to Scenic Lowell. After the Red Sox’ well-documented attempts to kick him out of the band—attempts that may very well still be evolving behind the scenes–the guy could have shown up at Spring Training as a certified douchecanoe*, sporting a T-shirt emblazoned with “Will play third base for food,” taking [...]

Before the dynasty started for the Pats, fans grabbed onto anything they could to cheer for. In the early ’80′s that meant finding an individual player to root for, since there wasn’t a whole lot of winning going on until 1985. Many fans chose Mosi Tatupu as their favorite. Tatupu passed away at the age [...]

I gotta say that one of the players I’m most intrigued by this season is Bill Hall. Among the Marcos, Boofs and Tugs his name may not seem so exotic. And even though he hit 35 home runs for the Brewers in 2006 — the same number Manny Ramirez hit that year — he’s here [...]
