The 2013 -2014 season is only a mere couple of weeks young yet there is no shortage of news and notes. From the Celtics to the coast WBOB Sports has you covered.
By Michael Parente Word on the streets is the Houston Texans are about to release safety Ed Reed. Yes, that Ed Reed – the nine-time Pro-Bowler, former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl champion and apple of Bill Belichick’s eye.
Johnny Sunchips Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was arrested late Sunday night in Riverside (a suburb of Kansas City) for allegedly speeding and possessing 10 grams of "hippie lettuce", more commonly known as marijuana. The question that comes to mind when we hear of incidents such as this is, "what the hell were you thinking". Maybe the fact of the matter is, you were not thinking at all. The Boston Celtics shocked most and perhaps made a statement Saturday in Miami. Winners of now three in a row including back to back road wins the Celtics have many skeptics watching closely. Showing off their swagger against the defending champions in enemy territory, Boston looked like a legitimate playoff contender. J. Sunchips The NFC East is so bad thus far, that the Jacksonville Jaguars, with a mere one win, would be alive for the division title. The 9-0 Chiefs would be able to clinch it by week twelve, and the Green Bay Packer faithful would not be in a world of gloom while resting their hopes on a third string QB out of Wisconsin. But after week ten, a team who actually seems to want to advance to the post season, may have emerged. -The Dip The locker room culture in the NFL is a very hot topic right now. From teammates bullying and hazing each other, right down to the verbiage that is used while speaking to each other. This has been a problem that many have seen creeping into the society of the NFL and it’s players. Yes, you may use inappropriate language and behavior when you are out with your “boys” but when these words and actions spill over into the workplace it becomes a major issue. Johnny Sunchips With the recent news that Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss 4-6 weeks due to a fractured collarbone he suffered in a 27-20 loss this past Monday night at home against division rival Chicago, the landscape in the NFC, and it's road to Super Bowl XLVIII, has taken a "turn for the west". By Scoop Fox 'Parting is such sweet sorrow...' Those 4 words from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet can best describe what happened down at McCoy Stadium today. Yesterday was the last day we would see Pawtucket Red Sox skipper Gary DiSarcina in the Pawtucket dugout. As of today, he was hired by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to become their third base coach at the major league level. |
