They're all going to be like this
FOXBOROUGH - The Week of Turmoil is over. The Patriots have beaten the Carolina Panthers. All right, then. Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
How the mighty have fallen
Once regarded as merely flawed, the three-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots are now clearly vulnerable, and with that realization comes a reduced level of fan expectation.
An impressive closing argument in a most perplexing court case
You know what they say . . . you see the final 4:42 of a Celtics-Bucks game at the TD Garden, you’ve seen it all.
No complaining allowed as Green continue their impressive run
Twenty-one games into the 2007-08 season: Celtics, 19-2, en route to 67-15. Twenty-one games into the 2008-09 season: Celtics, 19-2, en route to 62-20.
Jennings owes a bow to Garnett
All players must be at least 19 years of age during the calendar year of the draft, and a player who completed his basketball eligibility at an American high school must also be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.

They’re starting to make a connection
John Lackey for five years? That’s more like it. I was beginning to worry that the Red Sox’ winter haul was going to be Marco, Boof, Fabio . . . and pray for rain.
A Cartoon Network special
Boston sports lore is peppered with cartoon characters. The Red Sox had Bob “Beetle’’ Bailey taking strike three and Bill Buckner playing Charlie Brown with the ball skipping between his black high-tops. The Celtics have Tommy Heinsohn playing Fred Flintstone on Comcast SportsNet New England. The Patriots once featured Bill Parcells as Charlie the Tuna.
Fans shouldn’t buy Red Sox’ bridge
Storm the gates of Fenway Park. Cancel your NESN package. Stick your head out the window and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’’
Patriots reeling as another big one gets away vs. Dolphins
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - What a week for Bob Kraft. His team got undressed on “Monday Night Football,’’ his $9 million federally funded bridge deal was shelved Friday, and yesterday the Patriots blew a 14-0 lead and dropped a 22-21 decision to the not-very-good Miami Dolphins.
He’s still a part of Reading team
Undefeated Reading plays Stoneham tomorrow morning at 10:15, and Mike Boyd will be there.
Few cheers upon the demise of Northeastern football
No more football at Northeastern. After 74 seasons, the curtain has been drawn at Parsons Field in Brookline.
A few more observations from Bird’s nest
Larry Bird was not in the house when Bill Belichick decided to go for it on fourth and 2 from his 28. Even though Bird works just a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium, he has never been to a game there.
Not much reason in the arguments for Patriots’ Belichick
It did not look any better in dawn’s early light. Groggy Patriot Nation woke up yesterday and wondered, “Did that really happen?’’ Perhaps it was some Ambien-induced hallucination. A bad dream. Hangover haze.
Belichick gaffe unrivaled
INDIANAPOLIS - Ghastly. This was as bad as anything the Red Sox ever did. Had it been a playoff game, it would be right up there with Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, Aaron Boone, and History Derailed in Glendale, Ariz.
