Weekend Recap

Amidst the turkey comas and holiday hangovers, Thanksgiving weekend was good to us Boston sports fans. Let’s recap: Despite losing a tough one via shootout, the Bruins are 11-1 in their last 12 games, one point back of the lead in the Northeast Division. The Pats walked into Philadelphia and crushed the playoff hopes of the alleged “Dream Team” as they continue to find themselves seated atop the AFC East. It may not have been from the Celts directly, but the NBA made all fans happy as it looks like the Celtics will have a season, meaning I can finally stop writing up mock game day posts. Unfortunately, nothing groundbreaking from the Sox, but I guess with the way things have been going for them lately, no news is good news. Happy Monday!

First of all, did anyone even know the two sides were meeting today? Did anyone care? Yeah, me neither, but at 3 am I find out 15 hours of meetings have ended in a joint press conference? Good news! Silver and hunter together. It’s on!! Minutes until the announcement is made but it looks like a season will start on December 25….Merry Christmas!

Celtics Game Day – Mock Season

The C’s come home tonight atop the Atlantic Division to play the Toronto Raptors at the Garden. In the middle of a busy week of games, the Celtics are coming off of two straight wins after losing two in Florida. With a lot of hype coming from the B’s game in Buffalo, the 8-2 Celtics hope to keep the momentum going into the Thanksgiving weekend.

B’s Focused

Heading into tonight’s matchup against the Sabres, the only thing that the Bruins are concerned about is stretching their win streak to 10 games and claiming first place in the Northeast Division. The Sabres may have something else in mind. Retaliation. At least that’s what the media is building it up to be, and it could end up helping the B’s. The hit that Lucic put on Miller only eleven days ago is still fresh in everyone’s mind. A controversial hit like that always leads to this sort of hype before the next time the teams meet, but the Bruins are focused on the greater goal at hand. “It’s not like you can just go out there and be stupid,” Ference said Monday. “We were in a similar situation obviously with the Cooke thing. If they want to get goofy then that’s fine. Our team is well equipped for different kinds of games.” The Bruins are ready to play hockey, whether that means reacting to Buffalo vengeance or not. If the Sabres go head hunting tonight, you can bet the house that the B’s will be ready.

Gronk Nation

From the beginning we knew Gronk was an animal. As Barstool put it, “It’s Gronk’s world, we’re just living in it”. There’s no doubt he had a great time during the lockout and partied like the best of ’em, but it was a question as to how his off-field presence would transfer over come game time. Last night, Gronk answered that question and left no doubt in anyone’s mind as to how much of an absolute beast he really is. With his 20th career TD reception in 26 NFL games, Gronkowski became the fastest TE to reach that mark in NFL history, right ahead of Ditka (31 games). In doing so, the Pats turned a slow start into a good old fashion beat down last night in Foxboro. Oh, not to mention Gronk also shrugged off a broken neck to pop the ball like a balloon in the end zone. No biggie.

Letter to John Madden – Real or Fake?

So this has to be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while. Ethan Albright, a long snapper for the Redskins, apparently wrote up this letter to John Madden regarding his player ratings in Madden NFL 2007. The only thing is that I can’t figure out if it was actually written by him or some clever guy with nothing else to do then make Ethan Albright look like a badass. Give it a quick read and decide whether you think it’s real or fake.
