Posted Sports Redux: Pats Fans: Feel The Schadenfreude to Bostonist
Sure, our team may have been unceremoniously thrown out of the playoffs. We may be getting older, showing weaknesses, and be in for a few years of uncertainty and anxiety. But for a few hours, last night, it didn't matter that the Patriots were firmly in the middle of the NFL pack, because we got to watch the Colts unravel on national TV on the game's biggest stage. It was a great football game,...
Posted Sports Redux: "Bad Luck, Story of My Season, Nothing Can Go Right" to Bostonist
Michael Dwyer / Associated Press So sayeth Milan Lucic, whose overskating led to the game-tying goal yesterday at the Garden, as the Bruins' tour through the various circles of Hell continued with a 3-2 shootout loss to Vancouver, their 10th in a row.

Goalie Tuukka Rask, whose grandfather might actually have...
Posted Sports Redux: In Which We Try To Sum Up Our Current Situation Using PG-13 Language to Bostonist
First, let's get the good news out of the way. Paul Pierce isn't hurt as badly as we anticipated when we were completely freaked out about the possibility that we couldn't even beat the Wizards without sacrificing one starter. Nothing's broken, say the Celtics, and Pierce might be able to go as soon as tonight against Miami. So short-term, that's good. Long-term, though, the team can't hide the fact that they just lost three...
Posted Sports Redux: The Winter of Our Discontent Continues to Bostonist
The good news? The toughest three-game stretch of the season is over...three games against three legit contenders (yes, Atlanta, we hear you). The bad news? The Celtics fell short in all three. We won't see three games in a row like this until the playoffs, but the way things are going right now, how long do we really think the playoffs might last? The scoreboard and the summaries will say only that Kobe Bryant's shot...
