All in Sports
Damn it's great to be a Boston sports fan. However, guess if you're not, you have a legit reason to hate us.
Why, you ask?
Well, we're just awesome. :P
While America pauses and reflects on the horrific events of September 11, 2001, there's parallel path that's being taken by many who are moving on, healing and celebrating life, not mourning.
Of course, this path is walked because time is a powerful thing. It heals and is a catalyst for people to move on from tragedy. And, one of the ways in which people move on, is by watching sports.
Who could forget professional sports getting back under way in the fall of 2001. The NY Yankees in the World Series (and nearly winning it). NFL stadiums bleeding red, white and blue (capped by a team called the Patriots, winning the Superbowl earlier that year).
And today, the NFL kicks off their Sunday ritual with celebration and remembrance.
There's a ton of stories and videos about 9/11 and the 10th anniversary. I've been sucked into it big time. The days is still very clear to me and the images I saw on the screen will forever be burned into my head.
The stories and images are horrific. However, over time, stories have developed that put the day and life into perspective.
The Boston Globe launched a new blog called the Obnoxious Boston Fan. Yes, you guess right. It's all about Boston sports, with a slant towards how obnoxious us fans can be as we follow the Bruins, Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox.
For those of us who are part of this heralded (and hated group), you'll love it. For those who aren't, you'll hate it.
Guess that's the point.
Here's the intro from the fan himself:
So Tom Brady was doing his weekly radio show and was talking about a number of things, one of them being Randy Moss.
According to a report, Moss might not be done with the NFL. In fact, the rumor is that he's headed to the Patriots after the first game of the season (when he'll be eligible to be reinstated after retiring.

The Patriots cut the last standing member of the draft Class of 2007 - Brandon Meriweather. Not sure what the deal is with this move. I guess he never really fulfilled the role that Coach B. wanted him to.
Or, which is a better guess, Merriweather was too busy getting the V.I.P. on the Swole:
