Vladimir Putin stole Patriots Owner Bob Kraft’s Super Bowl ring


patriots-cheerleaders-boston

New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft is one of life’s feel good stories. The Patriots fan who sat in the snow and cold in the last row one day became owner of the NFL team. Of course, marrying someone with lots of money and tons of connections helped quite a bit. Bob Kraft owns three Super Bowl rings with the Patriots.

Make that two. Russian strong-man and modern day Czar Vladimir Putin took one away from Kraft.

kafka

Tim Tebow is Kakfaesque. Sort of.

Yes, the New England Patriots signing of Tebow Monday squeezed quarterback Mike Kafka out of the NFL. For one day. The Patriots released Kafka after signing him to a futures contract. And the team that most people Tebow would sign with, the Jacksonville Jaguars, are the franchise that picked up Mike Kafka.

Which means Mike Kafka, a former Northwestern and St. Rita (Chicago) star is now fighting to be QB3 in Jax.

Stanley Cup Eve: similarities between Boston and Chicago


boston

It’s Stanley Cup Final Eve. The night when Lord Stanley comes to visit houses and deliver to children…okay not so much. But game one between the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks is tomorrow night and game two occurs on Father’s Day Eve; so that should be a party. I know you’ve never heard the term Father’s Day Eve before.

But people in Boston and Chicago don’t need to invent fake holidays to have an excuse to drink. Insane sports fans in both towns drink heavily enough as it is. And that’s just one of the many similarities between the cities of Boston and Chicago.

Red Sox reporter, UMass cheerleader Jenny Dell: photos and bio


jenny-dell

From Hazel Mae to Heidi Watney to Jenny Dell, NESN smoke show sports reporters are exactly like Denver Broncos tailbacks. It doesn’t matter who leaves, they’ll just find another and just keep plugging ‘em in, and the results will always be there. Behold Jenny Dell the reporter to Red Sox Nation.

It’s not very professional or mature of me to use the term “smoke show” to describe someone else in my industry. But donnnnnnnnnn’tttt carrrrrrrreee!

Could Chicago host the NFL Draft?


nfl-draft-chicago

The NFL Draft has been in New York City for as long as I can remember. The Capital of the World is it’s rightful home, as the NFL Draft is the freshman orientation to the Game of the Empire. And Radio City Music Hall is the optimal venue for housing the NFL Draft too. However, Easter shows will move the NFL Draft from April to May.

And in 2015, the NFL Draft location is up for grabs. And yes, Chicago, the Second City, is in play for hosting the NFL Draft.

Bill Belichick hates Tim Tebow; making himself more likable


belichick

Bill Belichick isn’t usually described as “polarizing.” He’s for the most part, hated. Not so much on this website, where Belichick is beloved and revered. Tim Tebow is considered “polarizing,” because he’s both hated and loved. While people disagree on their feelings about Tebow, anyone with a football IQ agrees he receives way more media coverage than he deserves.

He’s terrible at NFL football, but has a higher Q rating than Pro Bowl starting quarterbacks. Bill Belichick is simply not having any of that shiz up in here.
