The Latest

What a week it has been for New England sports fans. There has been a lot going on between the Super Bowl, Bruins, and Celtics. But it hasn't been the best week for us fans, so lets talk about it.

The Super Bowl: Who Dat? That's right the Saints are, when they pulled off the upset when they beat the Colts. This is probably one of the few good things that happened for New England sports fans this week. Going into the game I was cheering hard for the Saints but I thought the Colts were going to win by the way Peyton Manning was playing, I am so glad I was wrong. The turning point of the game was when the Saints recovered the on-side kick right after halftime. That call to go for the on-side kick was kind of similar to the fourth and two call, when Bill Belichick decided to go for it. If the Saints recover the ball, Sean Payton looks like an idiot, but since they did recover the kick he looks like a genius. Later in the fourth quarter came the best play of the game when the Saints were up twenty four to seventeen and the colts were marching, Peyton Manning went to throw the ball and it and got picked off by Tracy Porter who ran it back for a seventy three yard touchdown, to put the final nail in the coffin.

The Bruins: Underachievers. That's the only word I can say about the Bruins at this point. I know they haven't been healthy all of this year, but still, to be in ninth place in the eastern conference is not at all what I expected of them coming into the season. Also not to mention that they just snapped a ten game losing streak on Sunday, when they beat The Canadians. Peter Chiarelli needs to make a trade before the season is gone, I blame him a little bit for the ten game losing streak, because he didn't make a trade. Hopefully the Bruins can get their act together and go on a long winning streak to save their season.

The Celtics: Another tough loss yesterday afternoon for the Celtics against the Magic. The Celtics are not playing great this year either. Like the Bruins they too have also been injured a lot, but they are healthy now and continue to lose big games. Coming into the season people were saying the Celtics could win seventy two games and be one of the best teams in NBA history. At the start of the season they were playing great and I started to believe they had chance to win seventy two games. Now the Celtics record is thirty two and seventeen and sometimes I think maybe the Celtics just are not that good of a team. I hope I am wrong and I hope when they come out the all star break they go on a long wining streak, and prove me wrong.
