Red Sox Will Change Yawkey Way's Name So That It No Longer Honors A Dumb Racist
Red Sox owner John Henry said last August that he would consider changing the name of Yawkey Way, since Tom Yawkey was a racist who owned the last major-league team to integrate, and also once rejected a deal for Willie Mays. Today, the team announced the switch....
Rick Nash Is Super Eager To Impress His New Team
Newly acquired Rick Nash is only playing his second game as a Bruin tonight, but he’s already making all of his other Boston teammates look like slackers. Early in their game against the Hurricanes, a rebounding shot from Jaccob Slavin deflected off a skate, trickled past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, ...
The Once-Unstoppable Celtics Are Returning Back To Earth
Brad Stevens warned everyone. After the Celtics’ 16-game winning streak was finally snapped earlier this year, he admitted that the impressive run of wins right after the team lost Gordon Hayward was “a little bit of a mirage.” Still, though, Boston was at the top of the Eastern Conference for most ...
Kyrie Irving Has No Concern For Earthly Matters Like TV Families<em></em>
The Celtics ran one of those cute commercial-break videos at their game tonight where players answer innocuous questions about their pop culture faves. Naturally, it served as another opportunity for Kyrie Irving to show off that he is way cooler than everyone else....
WEEI Will Shut Down For A Day To Teach Its Hosts Not To Be Hateful Shitheads
Boston radio station WEEI has had a rough go of it lately: Alex Reimer called Tom Brady’s kid a “pissant” and hasn’t been heard from since; Christian Fauria giggled as he did a racist accent of Brady’s agent Don Yee, and was suspended five days; and Kirk Minihane’s still employed. In an effort to re...
For Black History Month, Boston Police Pay Tribute To White Man Who Coached Black Guys
Boston’s reputation as a city oblivious to racial issues is undeserved, I tell you....
Boy, The New-Look Cavs Sure Beat The Living Shit Out Of The Celtics
Sunday’s result should not be read as the Celtics are fake or the Cavs are better than the Celtics or the Celtics are doomed in the playoffs, although I dearly wish for all three of those things to be true. But it seems reasonable to say that the Celtics, who’ve had the NBA’s best defense this seaso...
WEEI Suspends Christian Fauria Five Days For Racist Don Yee Impression

Boston Radio Dopes Claim Boston Newspaper Dope Was Tricked Into Writing A Fake Story About Tom Brady
On Thursday, the Boston Herald published a post headlined “Tom Brady wants to get paid like Jimmy G, or he’ll skip OTAs.” On Friday, it had been deleted and replaced with an error message.

What If <i>The Purge</i>, But For Goalie Interference<em></em>
Every sport has its catch rule, a point of controversy with rules so vague or arcane or reliant on human judgment that fans, players, and even referees can have trouble defining it. In hockey these days, that’s goaltender interference, and the usual short-term solution is that we trust the officials...
Tom Brady Cuts WEEI Interview Short Because Host Called His Kid An "Annoying Little Pissant"
It’s Super Bowl week and Tom Brady will ignore all off-the-field distractions. Almost.

Steph Curry And Kyrie Irving Put On An Incredible Show
The Warriors narrowly edged the Celtics last night in Oakland, 109-105, in a game that was within a couple possessions most of the way. As if plucked directly from the hopes and wishes of fans sick to death of this stretch of NBA basketball being defined by injuries and conflict, the game Saturday n...

Jalen Rose Tells Paul Pierce He's Being Petty About The Isaiah Thomas Video Tribute Fracas
Paul Pierce has made a big stink about the Celtics having the audacity to briefly honor Isaiah Thomas with a short video tribute before the Cavs visit the Celtics next month, and now that Thomas has formally asked the Celtics not to thank him, Pierce looks like a selfish asshole. Rather, as Jalen Ro...
Paul Pierce Really Didn't Want Isaiah Thomas Anywhere Near Paul Pierce Night
On February 11, the Cavs will visit Boston for the second and final time this season, and a very brief tribute was planned for Isaiah Thomas, who was traded away in the Kyrie Irving deal last summer—it was to be a short video played before pregame introductions. That was beyond the pale for Paul Pie...
Tyler Seguin Made Precisely Three Bruins Look Stupid With His Overtime Goal
