Each week this season, New England celebrity Tom Brady will enhance his bank account by fielding questions on local sports radio shows.

Tom Brady is not fooled, and he is no one’s fool. To listen to Tom handle with adept ...
The burning issues of our generation continues to emerge in the volatile sports world. Forget about shootings in the parking lots of San Francisco; inquiring minds want to know the important stuff. Now that Kim Kardashian has bagged her paramour, the question has been raised about names she and her dribbling husband will share. If you are a celebrity with name recognition, or simply like your name, you may not want to alter it. If it is multi-syllabic and endless in its vowel combinations, you may want to shake the wheel of fortune and opt out. For Kris Humphries, already deigned ...

Michael Vick wants a dog. He is apparently lonely for wet noses and a little tail. We are speechless. From bowwow to arf to ruff and woof, we are not able to put our mouth around the word “hubris.” The NFL and the media are now conspiring to silence the yapping of little dogs and rehab the image of Michael Vick. Since dogs are not first-class citizens, except in the hearts of their owners, Michael Vick will be able to own a dog legally in 2012, shortly before the asteroid hits Earth. According to GQ, which has recently also given ...
Transitions can spur strength Sometimes setbacks are simply a setup for a better future. Michael Shelton can tell you that he has had a few challenges, but he is determined to make it to the NFL.

And those sensation-seeking guests who take up too much space have been the first casualties of the epic battle that makes Paris stealing Helen of Troy look like a bad movie with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. Yes, Kim or one of the high and mighty Kardashians just think the wedding is becoming too gross, too bloated, too overwhelming and too much to bear. They’ve finally caught up with everyone else. Their solution is ...
Is it any wonder that President Barack Obama has lost support among Celtic Nation? A CSNNE.com report indicates he criticized Rajon Rondo to his face at a fundraiser. Did the ultimate price for supporting Mr. Obama cost Rondo most of two months of his season? His slump worsened after the Obama comment.

He said, according to sources, that Ray Allen ought to teach Rondo how to shoot. Rondo was stunned, according to Shaquille O’Neal in a ...
Convicted Ponzi-scheme proprietor and current inmate Nevin Shapiro is talking, and the NCAA is listening. Shapiro is giving accounts of benefits received by dozens of Miami recruits, which include everything from prostitutes to cash.These violations are not being taken lightly, and if Shapiro possesses the proof he claims to possess, the “U” could be in for the infamous “death penalty,” akin to the one Southern Methodist University received in the late '80s. With the recent exposure of Ohio State’s dalliances into “Tattoo Gate” resulting in the resignation of head coach Jim Tressel, an unlikely circle is now complete.The two national-championship ...
Some people ask if there is a secret UFO base on the dark side of the Moon, but a more pertinent question to New England Patriots' fans is whether Bill Belichick has a secret training facility at Smithfield, Rhode Island.

Might some of his key players who are absent from Foxboro be training from a secret playbook in a neighboring state? Yes, fans, when you wonder where missing Patriots' players are, the media tells you they are injured. However, no one can find them ...
