Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a Boston Red Sox fan: 4 of 29
Being a Boston Red Sox fan is a special thing to me. I dont think I chose it, I think I was born into it, but feel lucky for it.One part of being a Red Sox fan, of course, is dealing with Yankees fans. They like to gloat because they've had much success at our expense. The rivalry is exciting and fun, but it got tiresome hear... More..
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Rock music: Past, present and future: 9 of 47
Rock music is a music that found it's popularity in the 1950's. It would be difficult to describe rock music and it's popularity without mentioning two of its earliest stars; namely, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, respectively. Both Elvis Presley and The Beatles both had a following in their day that can only be described as... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Will Hillary Clinton ever be president?: 12 of 57
Just hearing the name Clinton, one can't help but to look back in time to a roaring economy and 8 years of peace. I'm unenrolled to a party. I do lean towards Democrats on most issues. Peace is always better than war for human-kind. Diplomacy should be the ultimate goal towards the entire world. It really never should come t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Football Comparing quarterbacks Tom Brady and Joe Montana: 1 of 3
Having been trumped in a prior article "Can Tom Brady be compared with Joe Montana," with more statistical analysis is frustrating. The only analogy I can use for this argument is a baseball analogy; Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddux are all dominant pitchers from the same era. Having seen all three of these pitc...

Sports & Recreation > Football Players The facts about NFL player Drew Bledsoe: 1 of 3
Drew Bledsoe is a tough subject for me as a Patriots fan. As a person and a teammate, you couldn't ask for a better person in professional sports. He is truly a class-act. He is the kind of guy that will go out and face the media when things are good and not good and he will take all the blame when things go wrong even if it... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Football Can the 2008 Chicago Bears repeat their Super Bowl run of 2006-2007?: 8 of 16
I don't think the Bears can return to prominence this year. Ownership is making some bad-decisions by alienating good players and coaches, and thus alienating the loyal fans that show up to watch them.As fans, I'm sure you're mad at me and disagreeing right now, but how are you going to feel when Lovie Smith leaves and brings...

Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Reflections on the New England Patriots 2007 offseason: 2 of 4
Wow, what an offseason after losing to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts, where they ran out of gas and surrendered a 21-3 lead approaching half time.The Patriots needed to get a little younger and/or a little deeper at linebacker if they wanted to avoid another huge collapse like that game. With the signing... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Approval rating: Will President Bush make a comeback?: 11 of 21
Absolutely not. There is no way to repair the damage that he has done to his reputation. While there is plenty of fodder here for the left to tinker with, Bush has alienated many of his own people by defying the prototypical small-government standard so cherished by the right. One might use the tag place on Hillary Clinton of... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Football NFL talk: Can Tom Brady be compared to Joe Montana?: 3 of 5
While not knowing the intitial finger-pointer of the Tom Brady/ Joe Montana comparison, I imagine that my thinking on this subject is a lot closer to this mystery person than common football ponderers. It is the opinion of this author that this comparison can be made stats non-withstanding. Go ahead, throw the stats out the ... More..
