Video Tailgate Confessional: Pats Versus Falcons 0

Posted on September 29, 2009 by Joe Gill

My girlfriend and I braved a wet and damp Gillette Stadium this past weekend for the game versus the Falcons.  Some Walmart rain gear, a tarp, beer, curry chicken, and Filipino pork made for a grand tailgate experience.

Section 336 was rocking but missing members of the Tailgate Tribe in row 17! Wish you were there to root on the Pats to their 26-10 victory!

Next Game 10/18 versus the Titans.

Check in for the next Video Tailgate Confessional!

      Vintage Athlete of the Month: Bill Russell

      We honor Bill Russell as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. In the dictionary next to the definition of champion, there should be a picture of Bill Russell.

      Before he even entered the NBA, Russell experienced his share of collegiate basketball glory while playing for San Francisco State.  Russell was the defensive core of a team that won 55 games in a row.

      Russell was a shot blocking machine during his college career. After batting away 13 shots against the NCAA basketball powerhouse UCLA, legendary coach John Wooden said of Russell, “He is the greatest defensive man I’ve ever seen.”

      And defense does indeed win championships in basketball, as SF State won back to back NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956.

      Due to his stellar collegiate career, Bill Russell was an easy choice for captain of the US Olympic Men’s Basketball team in 1956. His winning ways continued on the world’s biggest stage. The United States squad would go on to defeat the USSR, 89-55 to capture the gold medal.

      Before the age of 22, Bill Russell experienced championship glory three times.

      And he was far from done.

      The 6’9” center was a top prospect in the 1956 draft. The only question was which NBA franchise would choose this natural born winner.

    • BST&N Book Review: Wicked Good Year
      June 29, 2010 | 6:58 pm

      This is a wicked good read.

      I review Steve Buckley’s Wicked Good Year.

      A great read about the incredible Boston sports year of 2007.

      The Red Sox and the Celtics took home championships. The Patriots were 3 minutes from a perfect season and the Bruins were the Bruins.

      Sit back and enjoy my video review.

      This book is wicked good and wicked pissah too!
