100 YEARS!






When the Red Sox opened their doors for business in a ballpark built on a muddy eight-acre parcel of land in a barren, nondescript section of Boston 100 years ago, they had no idea what their stadium would become.

They had nary a clue that a century later Fenway Park would have evolved into a national landmark, an emerald-coated jewel that has played host to the happiest dreams and many of the worst nightmares of the New England region’s most beloved and complicated franchise.

Some Marathoners slow, walk or sadly drop out under blazing sun

At Heartbreak Hill and beyond, the scorching heat has claimed experienced and novice runners alike in today’s Boston Marathon, where more than 22,000 braved the 80-degree temperatures for their own piece of the 26.2-mile course.

The National Weather Service had expected a high of 88 in Boston, though a breeze off the water stopped the mercury from ever rising past 77 at Logan Airport. Along the race route, however, it consistently reached the mid to upper 80s, forcing many runners to slow their pace, walk or simply opt out.

One of my favorite players is retiring from the NFL, he played 13 seasons with my beloved Birds & the last 3 as a Bronco. I'm hoping that the Eagles give him a one day contract so that he may retire an Eagle.

I'll miss you B-Dawk, you were a shit ton of fun to watch in action

The Vikings are drafting 3^rd tomorrow night, and while they have numerous needs, the one fairly strong point of their team is defensive line.

I'll try to look into that guy for you and see what the consensus is.

Duchess is very well-rounded.

She comes to me for sports information.

She goes to you for whiny-ass, bitchflaked nonsense.

MS, have you ever heard of Chandler Jones? He's a defensive end from Syracuse and that's all I know. I don't follow college ball at all and I'm curious about him. I'm seeing his name a lot on the Eagles site & it appears he might be a prospect.

I'm definitely well rounded.

Former USC and San Diego Chargers football star Junior Seau, 43, was found dead Wednesday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at his Oceanside home.

His girlfriend found him dead in his bed, according to law enforcement sources.

Oceanside police didn't immediately have any comment about what was happening at Seau's home but are expected to provide details soon.

Television footage showed police swarming around the home. The San Diego coroner's office could not confirm any information.

In 2010, Seau was involved in an accident in which his sport-utility vehicle went off a beachside cliff. The accident occurred after he was arrested in Oceanside on suspicion of domestic violence.

Seau also played for the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots.
