Legendary Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian died yesterday at the age of 94. Behind Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy, Parseghian was the greatest Notre Dame coach ever. Parseghian has often been criticized for going for the tie in the famous 10-10 game against Michigan State in 1966. People forget that Notre Dame tied the game […]
Huge win for the Sox last night on a night where some very good pitchers on both sides including Chris Sale just didn’t have it. Remember though there is no momentum from game to game so that game has nothing to do with the game tonight. The Sox might win, they might lose, but it […]

The State American Legion Baseball Tournament is still going on at the Maxwell Sports Complex in White Rive and the two teams that were in the championship last year state champ Brattleboro and Rutland were the first two teams eliminated this year. By the way the Maxfield Sports Complex is fantastic! The Red Sox are […]
Yes I did watch a good part of the OJ Simpson parole hearing yesterday and yes I was watching even though the Red Sox-Toronto game was going on at the same time on NESN. As a matter of fact I think NESN and the Weather Channel were the only stations not televising the parole hearing. […]
