Valentine’s D.A. on Fox-25: Boston Sports Personalities We Love to Hate

DA — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:36:50 +0000

Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to spread the love and proclaim your adoration for others.

Of course, that’s way to sappy for the Mothership.

Here’s my three Boston sports personalities we LOVE to HATE. See what I did there?

It’s not a good thing when I know the inner workings of a Pats WR’s relationship.

D.A. on Fox-25: Where Does Belichick Rank on the Newsmakers of 2012?

DA — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:13:13 +0000

I’m counting down the top 12 newsmakers of 2012 on Fox-25 as we roll through the early stages of the year.

Here’s all of D.A.’s Fox-25 segments

An obvious choice for one of the candidates is Bill Belichick.

While he has taken some heat for building a defense that has some major holes, he’s always going to be front and center for the success of the Pats.

What types of year are we in for in Foxboro after the Super Bowl loss?

D.A. on Fox-25: Which Boston Team Will Make Us Forget About the Pats?

DA — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:02:45 +0000

The pain is beginning to subside for New Englanders after the events of Sunday. But it could be the beginning of a dark winter for Boston fans.

The Red Sox come off a disaster of an October, and an even worse offseason.

The Celtics look old. Really old.

The Bruins are not playing their best hockey.

But Boston has a penchant for doing duck boats every few months. Who has the best chance to make New Englanders forget about the Pats?

98 Mile: D.A. Defeats Tony Mazz to be Crowned Champion

DA — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:12:03 +0000

Many MC’s tried to rip the mic, but at the end I was the only one left standing.

Tony Mazz was a worthy opponent in the final.

But once I acquired Gresh and Rich to create the ultimate rap group, there was no stopping Team Mothership. I sampled Ludacris’ “Get Out The Way.” Homerun beat.

Tell me how my Calamahhh tastes. Because ya’ll can now kiss the ring.

Listen to the song that won it all

98 Mile: D.A. Defeats Fred Toucher in the Semi-Finals

DA — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:05:57 +0000

Toucher has taken great glee in ripping on the Mothership, our pizza parties, fried calamahhh, my Phantom Gourmet appearances, my terrific teeth, khakis, Spider-Man and just about everything else.

I just leave my talking to rap battles.

But revenge is best served with ice cold lyrics. I chose Biggie’s “Hyponotize” as my beat.

Sorry, Freddy. I win.

98 Mile: D.A. Defeats Producer J-Stew (James Stewart) in Round 1

DA — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:55:49 +0000

I came, I saw, I dropped mad rhymes.

Toucher and Rich began by lining me up against J-Stew.

So, I sampled Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” and advanced.

Boom. Roasted.

D.A. Plays “Quote the Raven” w/ Fox-25′s Kristine Leahy, AFC Title Gm. Prediction

DA — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:41:07 +0000

One of the most underrated rivalries in the NFL – Pats/Ravens – enjoys its latest chapter this weekend.

The Ravens hate the Pats. The Pats are looking for redemption after ’09.

Yep, this should be good.

I dropped by Fox-25 with Kristine Leahy to discuss the game, give a prediction and play a round of “Quote the Raven.”

Which Raven is chirping now?

The Denver Sound Guy is Wearing a Tebow Hunting Camo Jacket

DA — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:13:16 +0000

This guy is simply amazing.

So, I’m at Comcast last Sunday night for a little Felger/Bruins/Playoffs chatter, and The Denver Tebows win dramatically in OT.

At this point Felger has a raging Tebow-ner, and damn near kisses me because he’s so deliriously happy. (Here’s my Fox-25 prediction it all ends in Foxboro for Teebs.)

I walk out into the newsroom, and on one of the satellite feeds a Denver sound guy is testing the mics in front of the cameras. I had to snap a photo to prove this dude actually exists. Camo Tebow Broncos hunting jacket. Pretty sure that’s a matching camo Donkeys hat. Just awesome. If you forced me to spend 3 days inside the Boulder Cabela’s, I couldn’t have drawn a more perfect icon for Rocky Mountain Tebow Hysteria. It’s not even a jersey. Look at the collar. That’s a hunting jacket. They make a Tebow camo hunting jacket. I’m not even sure Tebow is okay with the killing of God’s creatures.

Maybe you wanna wear something a tad more professional? I just love the idea of this guy pouring deer urine on himself, climbing up into a tree stand, and waiting six hours to pop a few bucks in his Tebow camo, just dreaming of the scramble against the Jets – then promptly heading off to his next audio/video deployment for Fox Sports Denver.

D.A.’s Top 12 in 2012 on Fox-25: Broncos QB & National Sensation Tim Tebow

DA — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:10:38 +0000

With “The Chosen One” leading Denver to the postseason and a trip to Foxboro, D.A. has tabbed Tebow one of his Top 12 sports personalities of 2012.

He has become more than just a quarterback, he’s now a national phenomenon.

On Fox-25, D.A. is running down his biggest sports stories of the new year, and Teebs is obviously one of them.

D.A. Compares the AFC Playoff Picture to the GOP Race & NH Primaries

DA — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:59:40 +0000

The Republicans are trying to choose their candidate and D.A. sees a parallel in the AFC playoff picture.

The final four still stand: The Pats, Ravens, Texans and Broncos.

There’s some interesting lines you can draw between region, policies and the odds of the candidates/teams.

Since we find ourselves at the NH primaries, why not handicap both races?
