The following is part of a weekly series in which writer Todd Civin, presents the lighter side of the Boston Breakers of the WPS. The league prides itself in the down to earth nature and approachability of it’s athletes and Civin believes that “Getting Silly with the Breakers is an exciting way to create a comfortable bond between the fans and the professional athletes who are the Boston Breakers.

A special thanks to Erica Hunt, the communications director for the team, as well as, the players themselves for making this approach possible.

Last week, I walked on the wild side and took a figurative tip toe through the locker room of the Boston Breakers in my maiden segment of Getting Silly with the Breakers. My fear was that my reputation would proceed me and I would see a sign on the outside of the door stating, “Men Named Civ, Need Not Enter”.

Much to my chagrin, I found newcomer, Leslie Osborne, quite willing to let down her hair and share some light hearted fun with your local beat writer.

Always one to take success for granted, I’ve decided to wade into the locker room, yet again, and present another newcomer to the Breakers in the form of Tiffany Weimer.

Like Osborne, Weimer brought her game from left coast to best coast and is busy preparing for her premiere season in Beantown. Weimer played last season for the FC Gold Pride and is looking forward to running the sidelines with the likes of Lilly, Smith, Scott and, of course, Osborne. Read the rest of this entry →

      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!
