A Guy From My First-Period Class In High School Is Coming To Save The New York Rangers
The New York Rangers have the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the Stanley Cup playoffs (Thursday! On NHL Network! Catch it!), but the New York Rangers might be doomed. They face the Ottawa Senators in the first round. The Rangers went 1-2-1 against the Sens during the regular season. The Rang...
Hockey's Frozen Four In Tampa: Where America Came To Thaw Out Its Frigid Heart (And Wear Shorts Outside)
TAMPA—Sometime around midnight after the Frozen Four final, I found myself a few blocks away from the Tampa Times Forum, jumpstarting a former Ferris State player's car under the distant watchful gaze of a hockey writer who was afraid I was going to be beaten or murdered. ...
Perhaps The Red Sox Are Struggling Because David Ortiz Is Attempting To Steal Bases
The Boston Red Sox are 0-3 and (as of this writing) losing again tonight to the Toronto Blue Jays, against whom David Ortiz attempted to steal second base in the seventh inning of tonight's matchup. Ortiz, who reached on a single, apparently took matters into his own hands in trying to spark the ...
The New Season Has Its First Walkoff Homer, And It Capped Off A Classic Red Sox Meltdown
The promise of a new season hasn't shown much inspiration for the Boston Red Sox, as the disappointment at how last season ended has been reflected in their first three games of 2012: all of them losses, and two of them in walkoffs....
Two Games In And The Boston Red Sox Are Being Compared To The Titanic
Oh, this is delicious. The usually level-headed and sane Dan Shaughnessy had a few things to say following the absolute drubbing of the Red Sox by the Detroit Tigers yesterday. This one had it all. An already-short-with-the-media Bobby Valentine, continued Josh Beckett injury speculation and Shaugh...
Boston College Is Your NCAA Hockey Champion, Though This Fan Passed Out Before The Game Was Over
Boston College dispatched Ferris State 4-1 to win tonight's NCAA Division I hockey championship in Tampa, and we wish the Eagles and their fans a hearty congratulations on their third title in five years.

From The Sports Guy Vault: Bill Simmons Says Tear Down Fenway Park
Let's return to the Bill Simmons Archive, a collection of Boston Sports Guy columns salvaged from the defunct AOL Digital Cities. In honor of Red Sox opening day, let's look at an old column calling for the demolition of Fenway Park—and the construction of something totally new and different in its ...
Everyone Trying To Undermine Bobby Valentine
Beyond Lester, Beckett and Buchholz, the Red Sox rotation was up in the air. Would it be Daniel Bard, once the closer-in-waiting, now being stretched out to be a starter? Alfredo Aceves, the Yankees cast-off who can start, relieve or close? A guy named Felix Doubront? This being the Red Sox, and thi...
Bruins Fans Make Clever "Two Minutes For Hooking" Sign That Gets Filthy Photoshop Update

45 Years Ago, An Enraged Boston Marathon Race Director Attacked A Female Runner
It's hard to fathom that next month's Boston Marathon will mark the 40th anniversary of women being allowed to officially run in the race, since the idea of banning women from anything is so utterly stupid. However, the first woman to finish the race actually did so five years earlier in 1967. That ...
Mickael Pietrus Taken Off Court On Stretcher After Scary Injury In Celtics-Sixers Game
It was a rare and terrifying scene during tonight's Celtics-Sixers game as Boston swingman Mickael Pietrus was immobilized and wheeled off on a stretcher after a hard fall directly onto his spine in the second quarter. The incident was reminiscent of T.J. Ford's 2004 injury, as it's an uncommon s...
Cops: Bobby Jenks Said He Smashed Into A Car In A Strip Club Parking Lot And Had To Get Out Of There
We told you this morning about Bobby Jenks's DUI arrest much earlier this morning. Now there are more details from Jenks's arrest report, and they do not reflect positively on the Red Sox reliever....

Bobby Jenks (right), who plays for the Red Sox and is not fat anymore, was arrested at 3:43 a.m. in Lee County, Fla., and was charged with DUI, property damage, and leaving the scene of an accident in which property was damaged. He was released at 8:45 this morning....
The Yankees Quit A Tie Game And Went Home, And Bobby Valentine Is Furious
It's only March, but new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine is already in midseason antagonistic prick form. The latest controversy? A stupid spring training game, because the Yankees and the Red Sox can't even play a simple spring training game without being children....

Boston College defensive tackle Jaryd Rudolph was arraigned today in Brighton District Court on a charge that he violated Massachusetts' privacy laws by recording audio of his teammate having consensual sex with a BC grad student.

Just Another Spinning, Jumping, Behind-The-Back Pass From Rajon Rondo
Ho hum, just your run-of-the-mill no-look, mid-air, behind-the-back assist from Rajon Rondo, one of 14 on the night in a Boston win at Golden State. He doesn't care if you're not in his field of vision, or if he's double-covered, Rondo will get you the ball....

Now, I have no idea what the Russian American Jewish Experience is—and, consider, I'm vaguely descended from Russian Jews—but I do know they have one of the most exquisite experiences ever up for auction right now....
Scrappy College Basketball Team From Just Outside Of Boston Makes It Big
This is the front page of today's Boston Herald. Not the sports cover. The front page. All because Harvard got the spot in the tourney it knew it would get as of Tuesday. All Boston learned yesterday was that the Crimson would be playing Vanderbilt in Albuquerque in the first round, which is actuall...
Cornell Defender Sends Her Team To The Frozen Four On Dazzling Goal In Triple Overtime
Lauriane Rougeau sent Boston University packing, and the season high home crowd of 2,143 Cornell fans into hysterics, when she slipped this one past the goalie to end what amounted to two full games of hockey played. Cornell won the wild game, that featured a three-goal-comeback by each team, 8-7....
