Someday, we're going to know what exactly we're supposed to expect out of the 2009 New England Patriots. more ›

It took a while, but after two straight losses, the Red Sox finally figured out how to beat those plucky KC Royals, and got themselves a much-needed 9-2 win last night. more ›

Mike Mennonno points out a disturbing article in the Wall Street Journal offering scientific evidence that injury machine Tom Brady isn't the hottest quarterback in the NFL. He isn't even in the top five. In a study showing that every starting quarterback in the NFL had a better-than-average facial symmetry, "a trait that shows a strong correlation to a person's perceived attractiveness," Brady's face scored an impressive 99.14% symmetrical—the average face is about 90%—but that was only good enough for 8th place. According to the study, Matt Ryan is the most attractive QB in the league, and Brady loses out to Brett Favre, Matt Hasselbeck, and, um, Ben Roethlisberger. So, if you have Brady on your "fantasy" roster, consider trading high. more ›

Well, it had to end sometime. The Bruins' longest winning streak since 1973 came in emphatic fashion, as the boys were outworked and outplayed by the Sabres at the Garden yesterday. Buffalo scored twice early, and it was a hole the B's never got out of, as they didn't get a lot of shots on Justin Miller and flat-out missed some of the shots they did get. more ›

BC was hoping for results similar to, or better than, the last time they saw Virginia Tech. That was the game back in October when the Hokies outplayed the Eagles for about 90% of the game, until Matt Ryan led an improbable comeback to keep BC's ACC title (and, at the time, national title hopes) alive. Well, so much for that. Virginia Tech outplayed BC for most of the game, including the last few minutes,... more ›

No Christmas shopping today. No Thanksgiving shopping, either. Get your remote control warmed up and tell the family they're on their own for dinner, because there's a lot of sports to be watchin' today. The fun starts at 2:00, when the Revolution try to get from "happy to be in the championship game", which is old hat, to actually winning the thing. They're matched up against Houston for all the marbles again; goalie Matt Reis... more ›

A somewhat abbreviated Redux, since we're preparing for our live-blog of NFL Armageddon this afternoon. Let's start with the bad and end on a high note. First, the Bruins. They went to Ottawa last night to play the Senators, who are 11-1 and running away with the Northeast Division. So now the Bruins know how it feels to play any of the other teams from Boston. It was close, and the B's even led at... more ›

If what they say is true, and Curt Schilling truly pitched his last game as a member of the Boston Red Sox last night... Let there be no mistake. The dividing line between the Sox' Era of Perpetual Failure and the current Golden Years can easily be geotagged; it's somewhere between Theo Epstein's Thanksgiving dinner in Arizona and the first time Curt posted on the SOSH message board. Somewhere in that stretch, the Red Sox... more ›
