Miller was fired from his talk job at the enigmatic WRKO in Boston in January this year to make way for former Massachusetts speaker of the House Tom Finneran who is himself rumored to be [...]

I’ve added some updates and additional observations and links to my New England Patriots at Dallas Cowboys post. I’m terribly unhappy with how that post came out. My next post will have better structure and hopefully be less rambling. I’m thinking about doing a short podcast for readers who have minutes of commuting to kill. [...]

An unsubstantiated rumor has it that Tennessee Titans have added Mike Elgin to their practice squad. Elgin is an offensive lineman who was drafted by the New England Patriots but was cut on September 2, the big roster reduction day. After that he spent a few weeks on New York Jets practice squad but was [...]
