I for one am glad Manny is gone. Yes he’s a first ballot Hall of Famer but a guy who never understood the passion we New Englanders have for our sports teams and players. Give me guys like Dustin, Lowell, Youk and even Varitek - at least they care enough to come to work every day.

Now how about the Opening Ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics? I don’t know about you but I have seen more opening ceremonies than I want to admit to and I don’t think anybody has done it better. Let’s not make the athletes policy experts for the next two weeks let’s just let them compete and leave the political drama with the politicians where it belongs.

Brett Farve playing for the NY Jets! Wow I cannot believe that that could ever happen. What did happen? Did Brett just change his mind? Or was the Packers GM intent on putting his mark on the team and Brett was the “other guys” quarterback? I’m not sure we will ever know the answer but a 16 year Packer is now playing in the Meadow Lands with Jimmy Hoffa. I think Vince just rolled over and made an obscene gesture.

Finally a word about the World Champion Boston Celtics. They showed how superstars can play together for a common goal. We all could learn from that in our everyday life.
