This time, the story was Welker

FOXBOROUGH - The Jets milked that first one, didn’t they? They beat the Patriots way back when to go 2-0 en route to 3-0, and they had a lot to say. Of course, they didn’t beat the real Patriots, who were missing two players of some consequence. One, ...

Elis coach won’t kick himself

NEW HAVEN - Compared with Yale coach Tom Williams, the guy who runs the New England Patriots is Mr. Conservative. Leading, 10-7, with about 2 1/2 minutes left, and facing a fourth and 22 at his own 25, does he let Tom Mante, a really good punter, boot ...

Disorganized from start, they need to regroup

The Celtics do not have one signature win in this early season, and don’t even think of counting that Opening Night gift in Cleveland, whose own coach said he wished he could have had three more weeks of practice. “I just think our team’s playing awful ...

In NBA lore, Nelson never comes up short

Mr. NBA was in town last night. Well, he is. This was career game No. 3,380 as a player and coach for Don Nelson, and that’s No. 1 on the all-time list. He has been a part of the NBA since 1962. We could concoct a pretty interesting list of all the ...

Lack of scoring strikes recently has been striking

Patrice Bergeron has the quick hands. He swiped at a loose puck, sending it past Montreal netminder Carey Price. I believe they call that a goal. Been a long time, you know. It was, in fact, 192 minutes and 6 seconds since the previous Boston Bruins ...

Spaziani is handling things like an old pro

Is there anybody not happy for Coach Spaz? I wouldn’t think so, even if he’s not about to apply the word to himself. “It’s energizing,’’ says Boston College football coach Frank Spaziani. “It really is. I don’t know about the enjoyment factor.’’ No ...

Rondo inscrutable - and indispensable

Rajon Rondo already had his ring and now he has his money. Would it be asking too much for him to just settle down now and play some basketball? He should forget about Chris Paul. He should forget about Deron Williams. He should forget about Tony ...

Allowing McGwire back is a cardinal sin by Selig

So the commissioner of baseball thinks it’s peachy-keen and okey-dokey that Mark McGwire will be the new batting instructor of the St. Louis Cardinals? I wonder if Bud Selig would be so sanguine if Barry Bonds had accepted a similar position with the ...

Guests didn’t show up

Two games into the 2009-10 season and we’ve already had two great staple games of Celtics Past. 1. The big road win over Cleveland on Opening Night. 2. Last night’s 92-59, pick-the-wings-off-the-fly destruction of the Charlotte Bobcats. And to answer ...

Only Game 1, but this was a benchmark

CLEVELAND - Oh, sure, it looks simple and obvious now. One team was fully ready for an NBA opener, and one team wasn’t. Doc Rivers would have junked the final two exhibition games if he could. His guys were ready to go. Mike Brown would like another ...
