Kicking Off The Season With Satan
According to the The Boston Herald, which is being amusingly hush-hush about the whole thing, tonight's special guest at the NFL Kickoff Festivities will be Ozzy Osbourne.

Red Sox Dial Down Arroyo

It's a sad day when Boston fathead David Wells is turned into a Stepford Drone, but it has happened.
