USM men handle Plymouth State
Adversity? No problem. The USM men’s ice hockey team dominated Plymouth State College (PSC) on Tuesday while overcoming the loss of leading scorer Chris Sparkes (St. John’s, Nfld) due to a high ankle sprain and handling the Panthers by a score of 4-1. Additionally, the discouraging residuum of almost 30 penalty calls seemed to have no effect on the Huskies’ game throughout the night.
The genius of Belichick
Is there anything more entertaining than watching Mike Martz self-destruct on the sidelines? The noted Civil War buff who masquerades as a football coach looked like he had just been hurled back off of Little Round Top by the 20th Maine when the St. Louis Rams were abused by the New England Patriots on November 9.

USM women’s hoops built for success

Brady deserves more credit… still
Two Super Bowl Cadillac rides later and Tom Brady still can’t get a fair shake from the mainstream sports media. We’re not talking Joe Six-Pack and his 50 watt talk show in Cheboygan here, these are legitimate NFL commentators. Last January ESPN’s Chris Mortensen called Brady one of the “six or seven best quarterback’s in the NFL.

On October 16, USM baseball coach Ed Flaherty was notified that he will receive college baseball coaches’ greatest honor. The American Baseball Coaches Association, (ABCA) inducts only six members a year and Flaherty joins a group of only 209 other amateur coaches, only four of whom coach at the Division III level.
Back to work for the world champion Red Sox
Now that the ticker tape has flown and the stars have appeared on their favorite talk shows, it is time for Red Sox GM Theo Epstein to get back to work. The theme of this off-season will not be much different from any other: beat the Yankees. Yankee owner George Steinbrenner has made it clear that he will again try to remove the hearts of Red Sox Nation with a rusty spoon, in the person of Pedro Martinez.

Everybody Loves These Idiots
We are all aware of the contributions that star players Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez and of course Curt Schilling made to bring the Red Sox their first World Series Championship in 86 years. But like any championship team, it was the unheralded players who made plays that set the stage for these stars to perform.
