Can Bostonians ever get enough news about competitive athletics? In a word, no. Bostonist told you all about the Saturday haps from the TDBNG, Tampa and the track. Yes, there is more to tell.
Two prominent Red Sox icons opened up, sort of. The lethal,late-inning legend of David Ortiz seems far removed. Big Papi, no homers, is struggling in 2009. He's proud of his powerful swing, and should be. He's also frustrated, mad and cursing like a truck driver. He also went Terminator on us with an "I'll be back".
Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy was less emphatic on his return from an illness.
There's nothing worse than competing appointment sports TV playoff games. Thanks ESPN, NESN, TNT and Versus for intermingling the Bruins and Celtics second-round series. Fortunately, the Bruins have our undivided attention tonight in about 2 hours. The Globe took the time to instruct us on how Carolina might attack B's defenders Zdeno Chara and Aaron Ward.
If you need a football fix, check out Patriots draftee Julian Edelman, who may drive the SS Belichick when it transforms into Wildcat mode. No Michael Bishop jokes.
The Dalai Lama actually had a Patriots hat on. Really.
