Lack of Bruins’ scoring strikes recently is striking

Patrice Bergeron has the quick hands. He swiped at a loose puck, sending it past Montreal netminder Carey Price. I believe they call that a goal. Been a long time, you know.

Spaziani is handling things like an old pro

Is there anybody not happy for Coach Spaz? I wouldn’t think so, even if he’s not about to apply the word to himself.

Rondo inscrutable - and indispensable

Rajon Rondo already had his ring and now he has his money. Would it be asking too much for him to just settle down now and play some basketball?

Allowing McGwire back is a cardinal sin by Selig

So the commissioner of baseball thinks it’s peachy-keen and okey-dokey that Mark McGwire will be the new batting instructor of the St. Louis Cardinals?

Moss shows off several smooth moves

FOXBOROUGH - He comes off as rude, ridiculous, self-important, and difficult. And nobody gives a hoot because Randy Moss can make plays on the football field.

Franchise fixer

Don’t bother looking for Bill Parcells at Gillette Stadium this afternoon. The only tuna you’ll find at Patriot Place is on the menu at Skipjack’s.

Game 6 script perfect for Martinez

Six years later, he is back in new Yankee Stadium, still pitching for the honor of Red Sox Nation.

A fistful of Bird history

Big Baby got into a fight with a friend at 4 a.m., broke his thumb, and won’t be able to play until at least December. He is young and foolish and he hurt the team. The Celtics owners are mad at him. Fans are mad at him.

Aiken and Tate have hands in the victory

LONDON - The Patriots did not have a lot of options for the role of No. 3 receiver yesterday. Julian Edelman was out with a forearm injury and Joey Galloway was home looking for his reputation. Troy Brown was sitting in the Wembley Stadium stands with 84,000 other American Football fans.

Patriots’ win in London too bloody easy

LONDON - They could have saved the trouble and played this game at Raymond James Stadium off Dale Mabry Highway. They could have played at Gillette, White Stadium, or Fitton Field in Worcester.

Over here, Brady is a real nowhere man

LONDON - Tom Brady, international icon? Not quite.

Game is just not cricket

The city is beautiful. The people seem to like us again. The Patriots are officially the most popular team in the United Kingdom and there will be a lot of Tom Brady and Randy Moss jerseys at Wembley Stadium when the Patriots take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tomorrow afternoon.

Piece by piece, putting it together

Picked-up pieces while packing for London and wondering how Schill got overlooked by the Nobel Committee . . .
