Introducing “The Slayer”

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Happy Friday Sportsblahg nation!

Regardless we have an exciting new addition to our Sportsblahg staff, since most of […]

Finals Wrap Up Live (Ok Not Really)

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Unfortunately we did not have the budget to send a reporter to Game 6 to cover the Celtics 17th championship, but if we had, we feel the report would have looked something like this:

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Best Ad Slogans for Boston

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

If you haven’t seen this article regarding the Patriots still trying to trademark the “19-0″ slogan, despite going 18-1 last season. Well it got me thinking of what other slogans would be good for other Boston sports team:

Granted 64 teams won’t will (well, 63 now), but the Sportsblahg is comfortable that the following teams will […]
