While certainly a tough game for Patriot fans, the AFC Championship was a great overall football game. The Patriots dominated in the first half, giving Pats fans all too much hope for victory. The Colts dominated even more in the second half, though, overcoming a big deficit to...
THERE have been lots of changes since the last Patrons column appeared - lots on the field and several within the Association. One change is the decision by Darren Herbert to stand down from the Pat rons committee. Darren has been involved as a committee member...
Pat McDonald was a diehard Eagles fan and an avid athlete, who at 30 still played tackle football with the guys. When he wasn't working, he was working out, pumping iron at the in-home gym he installed in the pin-neat rowhouse he grew up in, later bought from his parents,...
There's no denying that the New England Patriots have been on their own level this decade. They are the only team to win more than one Super Bowl in this century, making them unquestionably the team of the decade. They have built a dynasty when a salary-cap...
A simultaneous slump of their Big Four - Chase Utley , Ryan Howard , Pat Burrell and Jimmy Rollins - has short-circuited the Phillies this month. Perhaps last night they started a revival. Howard and Utley each homered in last night's game against Los Angeles, and Burrell reached base twice....
First it was airports. Now football arenas are offering speedier security lines. Fans who attend NFL games at four stadiums this season will be able to go through a separate, faster security checkpoint reserved for those who pay a fee of $100 to $128 a year. ...
When "Little Shop of Horrors" made its off-Broadway debut in 1982, I wasn't particularly eager to see it. The goofy humor of the 1960 Roger Corman movie covered the subjects of odd dentists and man- eating plants as well as anyone could expect. Adding music and dancing...
Byline: By MEL BOOTH Sports Editor TWO magical trips to Wembley and success at the Millennium Stadium. These are treasured memories for a generation of younger Town fans who followed the club through the 1990s and towards their centenary celebrations. Neil Warnock was the...
EVERY BASEBALL PLAYER SEEMS TO have a story about a close call with the game's newest nemesis, the airborne bat barrel. "Second game of the year in Cleveland," White Sox reliever Matt Thornton recalled. "I threw the pitch, snapped the bat in half. The ball...
NFL countdown Readers pick their AFC, NFC favorites The San Diego Chargers bolt into the 2008 season with 27 wins the last two years and their nucleus intact. So expectations are Super Bowl or bust for the Bolts, USA TODAY's Tom Pedulla reported. That...
Pat Burrell got my vote yesterday. It took about 10 seconds. He's in the running to be the final player added to the National League all-star roster. I've said many times before this season that Burrell is the last guy I expected to be an all-star, so it seemed...
Tom Gordon is in Florida with soreness in his right elbow, and it is not clear when he can return. It may be a while. The Phillies placed the reliever on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. Gordon's previous DL stints have been lengthy. He spent more than two months...
What constitutes an All-Star? Is it a measure of the best players of the first 2 1/2 months of the season? Is it a celebration of a player's career? Or just a popularity contest? As long as fans do the voting, the definition of an All-Star...
Chase Utley isn't a big hoopla guy, so it is a bit surprising that he will be participating in Monday's home-run derby at Yankee Stadium. But, hey, they asked. "I pondered it a little bit," Utley said. "I think it's going to be something fun. I think it's...
I'M NOT SURE which is the more depressing thought: A. The Phillies acted like the Phillies and didn't make a full press for Cleveland starter CC Sabathia. B. The Phillies offered the farm for Sabathia and the Indians decided that what the Milwaukee Brewers had was still too...
From the moment fan balloting began in May, there seemed to be little doubt that Phillies second baseman Chase Utley would be elected an all-star starter for the third straight season. The only question was how many votes he would receive. Final results were announced yesterday and Utley ended...
Daily Pitch Filling out the All-Star teams The All-Star managers want us to pick hitters for their lineups, so give 'em what they want. Fans can vote at MLB.com from among five players from each league through Thursday for the 32nd spots...
Say this about Ryan Howard. He's never boring. In another big game against the rival New York Mets last night, Howard was everything that makes fans wring their hands and clap their hands. He struck out twice, adding to his commanding major-league lead in that ignominious category. He committed...
NEW YORK -- So long, Yankee Stadium. Get ready for an All-Star salute featuring the rival Boston Red Sox. That's right. Manny Ramirez, Kevin Youkilis and Co. are set to take over The House That Ruth Built. At last check, four Boston players...
RAFAEL NADAL last night refused to be drawn into the cheating row which has been growing around his Wimbledon go-slow tactics. The world No.2 has been accused of deliberately delaying the game to put opponents off whenever he runs into a tough...
