Nice Pipes

Don't miss the National Anthem! It'll be a strong performance. I hope the game will be as good.

Getting Excited

It's almost Super Bowl Sunday!!! What's on the menu?

The second most wonderful day of the year

It's closing in on us... Super Bowl Sunday – The second greatest day of the year....
The first you ask...? A Patriots Super Bowl Sunday

No Go on the Pro Bowl

I'll be fit for a fight on Super Sunday though...

Withdrawal . . .

I'm sorry, but, it saddens me deeply that I won't be able to make it to the shed tonight. I have work to do and it is urgent that my client get it as soon as possible.

But, next week there will be no excuses! It's Superbowl Sunday! It's Shedsie Night! It's the biggest night of year at Shed 26! Pull out all the stops! Strap yourself in! It's going to be a bumpy ride!

I'm in . . .

A low key even before the season finale? Hell, yeah!

PRO BOWL?

HEY FELLA'S! THE NFL SEASON IS ROLLING TO A HALT, OR A 6 MONTH BREAK, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO SEE IT. THE SHED26 SPORTS EMPORIUM AND HAVEN FOR OUR NEEDS, HAS ONE MORE BIG EVENT. THE SHED26 IS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY INTEREST OUT THERE FOR SOME PRO BOWL SHED TIME? I KNOW MOST OF THE FIRST TEAM PRO BOWL SELECTIONS HAVE BACKED OUT, BUT, IT IS THE SHED.
THE PRO BOWL STARTS AT 7:20 SUNDAY EVENING, SO , IF THERE'S ANY INTEREST POST IT. I'M OUT!

AFC starting quarterbacks

Matt Schaub, Houston
Vince Young, Tennessee
David Garrard, Jacksonville


Really?!?

Here is the only good thing about the Pro Bowl.

LIFE IS GOOD!

It's a gift! The best place in the whole world will be open for TWO GAMES sunday, not one!!!! May I extend my gratitude to "the powers that be" for their gracious understanding of the plight of man during the very stressful and nerve racking time know as "Playoffs!" And may I say to my fellow shedians, "Sheddie! It's ON!"

But I digress.

I wonder . . . could this monumental and historic gathering be a two pie event? Maybe, Apple AND Blueberry? Hmmm . . . the gratitude seems to so motivate it and demand it!

So, let it be written, so, let it be done!

It's good to be . . . The King!

It's better to be . . . A Shedian!

CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND

THIS WEEKEND HOLDS IN ITS HANDS THE FINAL TWO GAMES OF THE PLAYOFFS! COLTS AND JETS AT THREE AND VIKINGS AND THE SAINTS AT 6:30. THE SHED26 PATRONS ARE WAITING IN LIMBO AS TO THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND TIKI BAR WILL OPEN, FOR THE HARD CORE SHEDIANS, AT.....WAIT FOR IT...........2:50!!!!!!!!!! I'M TALKING DOUBLE HEADER!!!!!!!!!!YA YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY, DOUBLE HEADER! I CHECKED WITH THE SCHEDULE SUPERVISOR, AKA THE WIFE AND IT IS A GO! IF POSSIBLE WEAR YOUR COLORS TO SUPPORT YOUR TEAM OR TEAMS, THERE ARE TWO GAMES DON'T FORGET! SO ARE YOU HARDCORE OR NOT? LAST REMINDER, THE SHEDSIES STILL HAVEN'T BEEN SET IN STONE YET, STILL TIME TO IMPRESS. I'M OUT!

Doubleheader Sunday ?

Is there going to be a double header on Sunday at the Shed? I have basketball until 4:15pm . Just trying to plan out the afternoon.

SATURDAY NIGHT IT IS

COLTS AND THE RAVENS MADE THE CUT. WITH THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE AND FAN MAIL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE PAST WEEK, THE SATURDAY NIGHT GAME IS THE ONE. SEE YA THERE TONIGHT. I'M OUT.

Saturday Night Works for Me ..... - FNG

Saturday Night

They smacked the Pats. Maybe they can jolt the colts. Go Baltimore!

2ND ROUND

HEY FELLAS I NEED SOME INPUT FOR THIS WEEKENDS SHED 26 SCHEDULE. THE PATS ARE OUT, BUT THE SHED IS STILL STANDING. IF THERE IS ANY PREFERENCE TO A GAME OR TIME PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINION SO WE CAN NAIL DOWN A TIME. THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND MAJOR SPONSOR FOR THE ALASKAN 500 DOG SLED RACE AWAITS YOUR PRESENCE, THE SHED26 MUST GO ON!

What the ?

Hey, the Patriots season is over, there's still more football to be played up until the SuperBowl. Also remember we all need to improve on our performances at the
Shed. SuperBowl Sunday at half-time the SHEDDIeS's will be given out to those deserving or non deserving in attendence.

BIRD HUNTING

TODAY MARKS THE DAY THAT THE CHARITY EVENT THAT MATT LIGHT PUTS ON EVERY YEAR IS TRANSFERRED TO GAME PLAY, SKEET SHOOTING. THE RAVENS WILL BE FLYING AROUND AND WE NEED TO SHUT {SHOOT} THEM DOWN EARLY. THE PATS HAVE HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE AND THE ...... THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE, IT'LL COME TO ME OR ADD IT IN ON YOUR OWN. SEE WHEN I POST ITS INTERACTIVE. HEY, I'M OUT! SEE YA IN THE SHED.

SUDDEN DEATH

SATURDAY BEGINS A WHOLE NEW NFL SEASON. THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN AND ITS ONE AND DONE OR MOVE ON TO THE FOLLOWING WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR US PATS FANS, WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY TO SEE OUR LOCAL 22 TAKE ON THE RAVENS. POWER RANKINGS PLACE THE RAVENS AS THE SIXTH SEED AND RANK THE PATS AT NUMBER 4. LETS HOPE THAT STANDS UP WITH THE HORRIFIC LOSS OF NUMBER 83. HOPEFULLY THE PATS WILL PROVE THEY ARE A COMPLETE TEAM AND OVERCOME THIS ADVERSITY, RISE UP, AND GET TO THE NEXT ROUND. GO PATS I'M OUT.

Tears at your heart

A good guy goes down and it's painful to watch. Julian Edelman better step up and deliver this week against Baltimore. After all, he proved he's a gamer earlier in the year when Welker was out.

See all Shedians for an NFL marathon on Saturday. Beans...

Travel Team Pats and Tigers

Unfortunately the FNG and I will be traveling to Hudson for a game. Go Pats!

HappY new Year

BUFFALO-ED IN SNOW

THE BLIZZARD OF 2009 IS UPON US FELLOW SHEDIANS, BUT THE GAME MUST GO ON! AS WE BLOG THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND SNOWBLOWER REPAIR SHOP IS HEATING UP. FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEIR SHED FIX THE DOORS WILL BE OPEN. I MYSELF MAY BE TENDING TO OTHER TASKS AWAY FROM THE FACILITY. I LOOK AT IT IN THIS WAY ... SNOW HAPPENS AND YOU MOVE ON. ONE LAST NOTE: PATS 31- BILLS 24. I'M OUT!

Victim of scheduling

Cocoaboy is coaching a game over in Stow,MA today for my son Justin, 1:45-3:00pm,
then we have to buy a X-Mas tree, put up etc........... . I 'm going to have to take a LOA from the Shed for a few weeks so we can get our sh=== together here at home .

Home-made cookies

Nothin' says lovin' like some oven-baked peanut butter, chocolate kiss cookies. Mmmmm...

Oh, and a sausage & pasta garlic-fest. See at kickoff!

THE HEAT IS ON

THE OL' STOVE WILL BE WORKIN TODAY. SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND WALK IN DAY CARE, WILL BE HOPING TO HEAT UP WITH THE PATS HOSTING THE CAROLINA PANTHERS. HOME SWEET HOME, SWEET HOME ALABAMA, OR THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, WHICH EVER YOU SUBSCRIBE TO, THE PATS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING. IF YOU CAN'T WIN A GAME ON THE ROAD THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO WIN ALL YOUR GAMES AT HOME. EVERYONE KNOWS, HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, COLD WEATHER AND COMFORT FOOD GO HAND AND HAND , BIG BOB WILL BRINGING SOME KEILBASA AND THE WORD ON THE STREET ON BUDDY IS A GOOD OL' BATCH OF BUDDY MADE CHICKEN SOUP! ALL FACTS AND CONDITIONS COULD BE FALSE OR CHANGED BY GAME TIME. I'M OUT SEE YA AT GAME TIME OR WHENEVER MR. HART.

Membership Card Revoked...

Why did I have so many children? Brutal. 

It looks like this weekend will be a juggling act and next is in jeopardy due to basketball watching and coaching. I'll be rethinking my strategy for the 2010 season. I just hope my membership privileges aren't revoked... Maybe some chowdah, beans and peanut butter cookies will influence the judges.

Fear not, fellow Shedians!

I will be available to help tidy up access to the Shed while Andy is bolstering his coffers and my pie is cooking. We will miss those who cannot make it. As I have been made aware of those noble excuses of family, volunteerage, plowage (can't argue with making money!), and parading (I always love a parade!), as your King, I hereby grant pardon to those with such noble causes. Of course, it does mean less food to partake for those of us who do show up, however, on the flip side, it also means more pie. Mmmmmm, pie! It's good to be King! So, until our next Shed event, I wish you all well and may you all enjoy good tidings from The King. Adieu . . . .

Basketball, Parade, Wife's Party

I too will not be able to attend the Squish the Fish bash. I wil be coaching
a 4-5 Grade Basketball game, we have the parade and the wife has her work x-mas party. I got the kids .

Interference Call

I regret to inform you that I will be in Quabbin for the 5th grade travel team basketball game. While it's possible that I could stop in for the last 10-15 minutes of the Pats, it's unlikely. It is what it is. Go Tigers.

SHED-26 STATUS

FELLA'S, AS THE LOCAL 22 HEAD DOWN SOUTH TO MIAMI TO TAKE ON THE DOLPHINS, WE SHEDIAN'S ARE DEALING WITH A NOR'EASTER. ALSO IN THE FORECAST IS THE MAYNARD X-MAS PARADE. THE SHED WILL BE OPEN, I REPEAT , THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND BINGO PARLOR FOR THE STARS WILL BE OPEN. AS PRESIDENT OF THE SHED I WILL SEE TO THE COMFORT OF ITS PATRONS. HOWEVER, I MAY BE PLOWING IN THE A.M. AND LATER WILL BE ATTENDING THE PARADE. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I BELIEVE THE GAME WAS SCHEDULED ORIGINALLY FOR 8 P.M. DOESN'T THE NFL REALIZE HOW THIS EFFECTS THE SHED? PLEASE POST ALL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS . I'M OUT!

I'm out for tonight

With Pats game tonight, Andrew's playoff game in AShburnham, MA on Tuesday and basketball on Wednesday. I can't make it. Too much time out of the house. Enjoy the game tonight Sheddies.

Patriots 31

New Orleans 28

Interesting things from around the NFL

In the NFL stats, there should be a notation next to Wes Welker’s league-high 79 receptions that reflects he missed two games, which adds more impressive context to the production!

One Patriots stat that jumps off the page: They own a 34:26-25:34 time of possession advantage over their opponents this season, best in the NFL.

Top 5 blitzing teams in the NFL
Jets -- 57.9
Saints -- 49.0
Eagles -- 46.3
Steelers -- 45.6
Bears -- 44.1

Peter King of NBC suggests that the Indianapolis Colts are a "very, very dark horse" to secure Charlie Weis' services in 2010.

Such a move presumably would entail a retirement of retired offensive coordinator Tom Moore from his role as consultant. And it would potentially place a thick layer of frost on Weis' relationship with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

During the first half of todays game vs. the chiefs, running back LaDanian Tomlinson leapfrogged Marcus Allen and Edgerrin James to take over No. 10 on the all-time rushing list.

Jets game Balls

Recapping Jets game-ball winners
November, 25, 2009

By Mike Reiss

Although the Patriots have put last Sunday's win over the Jets in the rear-view mirror and are now focused solely on the Saints, a look back at the game-ball winners:

Tully Banta-Cain -- In just 26 snaps, outside linebacker/defensive end plays through injury and totals five tackles (one for a loss), two sacks and a forced fumble.

Leigh Bodden -- Cornerback ties a Patriots record with three interceptions.

Mark LeVoir -- Offensive tackle comes off the bench in a pinch and delivers a crushing block on a receiver screen that highlights the physical edge with which the Patriots played.

Ty Warren -- Defensive end ties for the team high with six tackles, continuing to do the dirty work that is easy to overlook.

Wes Welker -- Receiver notches career highs with 15 receptions and 192 yards.

Maynard High Playoff on Tuesday

The Maynard High School Tigers football team will make their first appearance in the playoffs since 1987 on Tuesday at Oakmont Regional High School in Ashburnham at 5:15pm,
in a rematch against the Clinton Gaels.The Tigers enter the contest as the #8 seed vs the #1 Gaels,Clinton recently defeated Maynard on Thanksgiving 28-7. Maynard's last appearance in the playoffs was 35-0 loss to the Milford Scarlet-Hawks in the
the Div 1 Superbowl in 1987 .


Oakmont is 43 minute drive to East ................. Nice job by the MIAA in keeping the Tigers and Gaels close to home .

Tigers football make postseason

Unoffically it appears the Maynard Tigers are going to the tournament on Tuesday
against either the Oakmont Spartans or a possible Turkey Day rematch against the
Clinton Gaels at a site TBD .

Turkey Day

We all have a lot to be Thankfull for this Thanksgiving, for some of us it's been a tough year. A few surprises and a few shocking events thru out . Hey we all stuck together and have made out ok. God bless all of you, have a safe and enjoyable Turkey day. Happy Thanksgiving to all the shedians and their families.

Go Tigers.

good info on patriots vs saints

10 things to know about Saints
November, 25, 2009

By Mike Reiss


1. They are 10-0. Home games have come against the Lions, Jets, Giants, Falcons and Panthers. Road games have been played against the Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Rams and Buccaneers.

2. Head coach Sean Payton is in his fourth year, and he calls the offensive plays. He previously coached on Bill Parcells’ staff in Dallas after stints with the Giants (1999-2002) and Eagles (1997-98).

3. Pete Carmichael Jr., who grew up in Medway, Mass. and graduated from Boston College, is the offensive coordinator. Gregg Williams is the defensive coordinator.

4. They have a league-high 29 takeaways, led by safety Darren Sharper’s seven interceptions.

5. On the flip side, they have lost 10 fumbles, with only one team losing more (Oakland, 12).

6. Quarterback Drew Brees is having an MVP-worthy season: 218 of 320 for 2,746 yards, with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His 68 percent completion rate would set a career high.

7. Pierre Thomas (105 carries, 584 yards), Mike Bell (115 carries, 514 yards) and Reggie Bush (55 carries, 277 yards) spearhead an impressive three-pronged running attack.

8. Marques Colston is the leading receiver (44 catches, 687 yards, 6 TDs), followed by tight end Jeremy Shockey (39 catches, 461 yards, 3 TDs).

9. Categories in which they lead the NFL include: Points per game (36.9), total yards per game (420.5), total passing yards per game (266.2), percentage of opponents passes intercepted (20 INTs).

10. Injuries at cornerback are a primary concern, as starters Jabari Greer (groin) and Tracy Porter (knee) did not play last Sunday against Tampa, and top reserve Randall Gay left the game with what he said was a hamstring injury. They signed veteran cornerbacks Chris McAlister and Mike McKenzie over the last two weeks.

PAY BACK'S A B!@#$H !!!!!

ALL I GOT IS A HEADLINE. CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY, I NEED A BIG WIN TO HELP ME FORGET ABOUT LAST WEEKS DEBACLE .

Good info

Stanback, Arrington gain some security

By Mike Reiss

In promoting practice squad players Isaiah Stanback and Kyle Arrington to the active roster over the last two weeks, the Patriots did not just fill spots on their current 53-man roster. They have also ensured that both players will be with the team in 2010.

Both Stanback and Arrington inked two-year contracts.

Stanback's deal includes a $25,000 signing bonus and has base salaries of $460,000 in 2009 and $560,000 in 2010. There is also a 2010 offseason roster bonus of $25,000. That is a generous contract for a player promoted from the practice squad and might reflect how the Patriots appreciated Stanback's contributions as their third quarterback while he was on the practice squad. While on the practice squad, Stanback traveled with the team as if he was on the active roster and helped with sideline management.

Arrington's deal does not include a signing bonus. It has base salaries of $310,000 in 2009 and $395,000 in 2010. There is a 2010 offseason workout bonus of $57,000, in addition to a $50,000 roster bonus in 2010. Like Stanback's deal, this is a generous contract for a player promoted from the practice squad. One factor might have been the Cleveland Browns' interest in Arrington, as they were attempting to sign him to their active roster.

Practice squad players become free agents after the season. While Stanback and Arrington could have re-signed with the Patriots, the team would have faced competition for their services.

What!?!?! Bill is HUMAN!?!?!? Nooooooo!!!!!

Barn burner in the making

Let the pre-game begin! See you all at the Shed-26 Sports Complex on Sunday night. Bring your appetite for winning football and your galoshes. It's going to get dark and stormy.

WILDCAT?

THE MIAMI DOLPHINS COME INTO THE RAZOR THIS SUNDAY, BUT ALL I'M HEARING ABOUT IS THE WILDCAT. DID SOMEBODY CHANGE THEIR NAME? NEW ORLEANS SHUT THE WILDCAT DOWN BY BLITZING OFF THE EDGE; THE JETS ATTACHED IT IN SIMILAR FASHION, NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PATS WILL DO. I SAY; IF SOMETHING AIN'T BROKE THEN DON'T FIX IT. BELICHIC , I'M SURE WATCHED BOTH THOSE GAMES AND IS READY FOR IT THIS TIME AROUND. I LIKE THE PATS BIG THIS WEEK. MIAMI ALSO HAS TWO ROOKIE CORNERS GOING UP AGAINST MOSS AND WELCHER. ALSO A ROOKIE QUARTERBACK FACING BELICHIC AND OUR NEWLY IMPROVED PLAY OF OUR SECONDARY. THIS SUNDAY, YES, WILL BE WILD, BUT I'M NOT SURE ITS THE WILDCAT THAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. SEE YA AROUND 1:00 SUNDAY. I'M OUT!

I'm in . . .

Go Philly!

Them ponies are gonna be safe enough for little girls to put on lead ropes and drag around a carnival!!!

RUNNING INTO WEEK 4

HEY FEELA'S ITS WEEK 4 AND THE PATS SEEM TO BE COMING TOGETHER. THE LOCAL 22 HAVE EVENED OUT THEIR PLAN OF ATTACK. FRED TAYLOR AND SAMMY MORRIS WITH TH O-LINE HAVE RIGHTED THE SHIP WHICH TAKES SOME PRESSURE OFF OUR # 12. THIS WEEK IS ANOTHER BIG TEST, THE BALTIMORE VAUNTED "D" IS ON TOP OF THEIR GAME AND THE OFFENSE WITH FLACO SEEMS BETTER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS. THE PATS D-BACKS HAVE BEEN HOLDING THEIR OWN AS WELL.

Beans? Chowdah? Sausage? Deviled eggs?... Only the Shadow knows.

Pats v. Ravens @ "The Razor"

That's right fellow Shedians! Our New England 22 are puttin' it on the line at home this Sunday! Though the numbers in the Shed have seemed to diminish by a couple, we should be at mid season for soon, and the spirit is as strong as ever! And, of course, the food, oh the food, is TOP NOTCH!!! So what will be on the menu this week with the new rules? Who will bring something someone brought last week? Will Buddy bring American Chop Suey? Will Bob bring sandwiches better than Jason's? Will ANYONE EVER bring cocoa again? Will Kevin ever bring warm food? These are the questions Enquiring Minds want to know! It's going to be a fun season! Come and join us, ah, what's your name?

PROTECT YOUR EYES, KEVIN!!!!

I hope Kevin brought eye protection! A catcher's mask would probably be best! And remeber, buddy . . . DUCK!!!!

J-E-T-S VS P-A-T-S

PATS, PATS, PATS! LETS CHEER ON OUR LOCAL 22 FOR A STRONG COMEBACK. LAST WEEK THE PATS SQUEEKED ONE OUT. THE JETS WITH A NEW COACH AND MORE AGGRESSIVE "D" WON'T MAKE IT EASY . THE PATS HAVE TO START THE GAME AS GOOD AS WE KNOW THEY CAN FINISH A GAME. THE PATS "O" VS THE JETS "D" IS GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS GAME AND I'M GOING TO GIVE THE EDGE TO THE PATS "O". FELLOW SHEDIGANS THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND OVER 30 WANNA BE'S EMPORIUM WILL BE OPENING ITS DOORS AT 12:00. GET THERE EARLY PEOPLE FOR SOME PREGAME. I'M OUT. PATS 31, JETS 20.

It's a GIFT!

The Bills gave the Pat's a gift tonight! The Pat's finished well, taking advantage of two mistakes made on the kickoff return by the Bills: first, taking the ball out of the end zone, and second, fighting to stay up when being tackled to allow the strip.

It was a frustrating outing for the Men in Red, but, they hung in and, as always, didn't give up!

Brady eventually looked like his old self; Welker got into his groove; Moss worked hard on the crossing and out routes; and Ben Watson stepped up and made the day!

The Bills played pretty well, keeping the Pats frustrated; but, the Pat's overcame their poor play in the first half to prevail in the end.

A great ending, but, let's hope every game is a lot less stressful than tonight's!

Next week: Pats at J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS! Favre-less but, Sanchez supplied. Should be a good one!

YEAH MONDAY!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PATRIOTS TONIGHT IN THERE THROWBACKS!!


OTHER THAN THE THROW BACK WE WILL ALSO GET TO SEE WHO THE REAL #81 IS IN THE AFC EAST. MY MONEY IS ON MR. MOSS EVEN THOUGH T.O. IS NO SLOUCH AND WHEN HIS MIND IS RIGHT IS A DYNAMIC WR.




I ALSO WILL MISS TEDDY BRUSCHI AND ALL THE JOY HE BROUGHT US FLYING OVER O-LINEMEN ON HIS WAY TO MAKING PLAY AFTER PLAY.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!

TO QUOTE A PHRASE OF ONE OF OUR FORMER LOCAL 22, TEDY BRUSCHI, " HOW DO WE LIKE PLAYING ON MONDAY NIGHT?....... OH YEAH!!!!!!".
FELLA'S MONDAY NIGHT , FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR, OUR QUARTER BACK- TOM BRADY IS BACK, AND THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX . WHAT MORE CAN ONE MAN WANT? WHAT MORE CAN CHARACTERIZE THE MOST WONDERFUL SEASON OF ALL?
THE 2009 PATRIOTS SEASON IS UPON US. THE SHED 26 WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU ALL BACK AND INVITE YOU TO OPENING DAY - PATS VS. BILLS AND A SPECIAL HALF TIME TO HONOR #54 TEDY BRUSCHI. THE SHED 26 DOORS WILL OPEN AS SOON AS THE FIRST PATS FAN ARRIVES! SEE YOU THERE!

Monday Night Football - Cocoaboy

Cocoaboy has been invited again to assist Bill in the opener against the Buffalo Bills down at the Razor. Sorry, but when Bill B calls I have to assist, it's good for the Shed 26, sideline correspondent. I'll call in with updates from the field .

In Bill we Trust . . .

Who else wouldn't be surprised that Bill Belichick has a statistic telling him that 6'-6" 310 lb 29 year old linemen become 50% more injury prone after years of health, even in their final year of their contract, deminishing their effectiveness? Hmmm . . .

Unending Gratitude to Richard Seymour!

Thank you, Mr. Seymour! We will forever be indebted to your contributions to the Patriot's! Business is business, but, more importantly, as a man, you will always be a standout in the lives of many in the New England community! We wish you all the best!

Cocoa

Cocoaboy will not be in attendence at the Shed 26 tonight. Cocoaboy will be down at
the Razor helping Bill evaluate talent for the upcoming roster cuts .

FINAL FOUR-TH PRE-SEASON GAME

THE FINAL PRE-SEASON GAME IS UPON US. THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND NON-YOGA STUDIO WILL BE OPENING ITS DOORS AT 7:30 THIS EVENING TO WORK OUT THE FINAL PLAYER CUT DOWNS BEFORE THE REGULAR SEASON. GENTLEMEN THIS YOUR LAST PRE-SEASON OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR SKILLS. IT HAS BEEN HARD TO EVALUATE ALL SHEDIANS IF THEY ARE NOT ON THE FIELD TOGETHER. FINAL ROSTER CUTS WILL BE POSTED NEXT WEEK, SO BRING YOUR "A" GAME.

Yoga Alert

I'm out.

UFC 102 Post Fight Musings

UFC 102: pre fight picks

Hello Shed26 Fight Night Fans....it's your friendly correspondent back to ground and pound some truth before tonight's event.

A little news for you first.. Massachusetts has finally approved MMA in the state!! I just heard Dana white say he is in negotiations with both the TB Bank Garden and FENWAY Park for the first boston event in 2010!!!


UFC 102...really nice card, but not shed worthy.


Here's how it should break down:

Main Event

Randy Couture (220) vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (231)
This would have been a fantastic fight 2 years ago when these two incredible champs were at the top of the UFC and Pride respectively...but today...not so much...should be a great fight though...

Pick: Shed26 favorite Randy "the natural" Couture" ground and pounds his way to a decision....Big Nog is almost impossible to knock out and is the best BJJ Big man in the world.....I think he's 4 holes into the back nine....and the natural should have no problem..Greko-and-Pounding him for 3 rounds... One caveat...if Randy tries to stand and trade with Big Nog, it would be a huge mistake.. even though Nog made Frank Mir look like Mohammad Ali a few months ago...he still has an iron chin and can slug with anyone....Randy has shown that he can be knocked out if he gets too fancy with the hands.....SHOOT THE DOUBLE RANDY!!!


Keith Jardine (205) vs Thiago Silva (205)

Pick: Tiago Silva is tough as nails and has serious power, but, in a close fight, you always go with the Dean of Mean....Wins by KO in the 2nd round...Keep your chin down and your hands up Jardine...Tiago gets' frustrated with all the Leg kicks he takes...lunges at the dean....and get's put to sleep with a looping overhand right...signature Dean of Mean!!



Nate Marquardt (185) vs Demian Maia (185)

Pick: this is the best fight on the card...Nate is overall one of the best 185'ers in the world...good at everything...former king of Pancreas...and only the spider keeps him from wearing a belt.....Damian Maia is one dimensional....but that dimension (BJJ) is the best in the world...he is unstoppable on the ground...his opponents go to sleep faster than Frank after the first under card fight...If Nate can keep it standing...he'll win...but he can't keep it standing... Maia is too good and is the only real threat to the Spider at 185.. Maia wins by submission in the second round.



Brandon Vera (205) vs Krzysztof Soszynski (205)
Pick: We have to go with the Polish experiment (Soszynski) by tko in the 3rd round... Vera has great talent but hasn't looked or fought like himself since coming down from heavyweight...he is much better suited fighting larger, slower guys and with 205'ers he ends up clinching like bone crusher smith for three rounds. The polish experiment goes for his trademark kimora from half guard...then transitions to the mount and brings the elbows until the ref calls it.



Chris Leben (185) vs Jake Rosholt (185)

Pick: great fight again...another Shed26 favorite Chris Leben...always brings it...he's the Arturo Gatti of MMA...Rosholt is a former NCAA wrestling champ and people have high hopes for him...the problem is that I haven't seen his wrestling translate well in MMA and his standing up way behind the curve. Unless he channels Mickey Ward for Three Rounds....Leben is going to highlight reel him in the First. If the UFC wanted to prop up Rosholt...putting him against Leben is a huge mistake...


Ed Herman (185.5) vs Aaron Simpson (185)
Pick: Tough pick here....Ed "Short Fuse" Herman is a slight favorite...and can wrestle...but Simpson is no joke...NCAA D1 wrestler... Herman only seems to loose to submission guys so I think he'll GNP Simpson for a decision victory.



Gabriel Gonzaga (259) vs Chris Tuchscherer (258)

Pick: Let's go with Gonzaga...local guy...who is a top 10 heavyweight...has great BJJ and huge knockout power in the his hand and feet (kro cop)...never heard of the other guy...



Justin McCully (238) vs Mike Russow (260)

Pick: Justin McCully seems to have been hand picked to loose to Mike Rossow...Russow is a police officer with a good story line...but McCully it tough, although small for a heavyweight...and since this is Russow's first time in the octagon.. I think the big lights will get to Russow and he'll be TKO'd in the first round.




Tim Hague (263.5) vs Todd Duffee (251)

Pick: this is a pick'em...bathroom break fight...let's go with heavier guy....Hague by TKO in the second.




Nick Catone (185.5) vs Mark Munoz (185.5)

Pick: Again..here is another Former NCAA wrestling champ that has had trouble transitioning his wrestling effectively into MAA....after getting KO'd by Shed favorite Matt the hammer Hammill...Munoz drops down to 185...Catone seems to have been hand picked to loose...but I like his skills and think he puts Munos to sleep in the 3rd round.




Marcus Aurelio (156) vs Evan Dunham (155)

Pick: Aurelio in the first by submission...no banter for this one



That's all fight fans..until next time...this has been your friendly Shed26 Fight night Correspondent..

PRE-SEASON GAME 3

PRESEASON GAME 3 WAS A BARN BURNER LAST NIGHT. FRIDAY NIGHT THE PATS WERE TAKING ON THE SKINS AND THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX WAS HOSTING ITS BIGGEST CROWD OF THIS YOUNG SEASON. FOOD, LAUGHS, AND A VICTORY FOR THE LOCAL 22. HEY, EVEN HARTY SHOWED UP! ALL IN ALL GOOD TIMES IN THE SHED. WHATS BETTER THAN THAT?!

I wonder . . .

Did I see Macintosh at Roche Brothers the other day? Hmmmm . . .

Friday. Friday. Friday.

What's on the menu for Friday night? I hope to get my hands on some balls... Arancini (Rice Balls) from Domenic's that is.

Cocoa Boy - Garden Way Gang
What's your plan for the game?

Bill

Shed 26 reporter Cocoaboy reporting in from Orleans Nauset Beach, Cape Cod. Most of the Beaches on outer cape are closed thru monday. The waves doesn't seem like much so far. Hi tide is expected to hit around 2:00am , possible 20 foot waves. No one is allowed on the beach, just News trucks and reporterrrs . Like they could ever swim .
Stay safe, and use protection .


:------------)

Whatever . . .

amen.

Obstacles of a Long Season

As we prepare for the wonderfully long Shed-26 season, I'd like to pause and ask forgiveness for all those injured, whipped or lazy souls who missed part or all of the first two pre-season games.
Can I get an AMEN?

ROUND TWO-SIX

ROUND TWO LAST NIGHT IN THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND DARK AND STORMY WORLD HEADQUARTERS KICKED OFF WITH CHARTER MEMBERS CHEERING ON THE LOCAL 22. THE PATS D LOOKED GOOD IN THE FIRST HALF WITH MOST OF THE STARTERS PLAYING SOME TOUGH D. AS ALWAYS THE FOOD WAS GOOD AND THE LAUGHS WERE LOUD. IT WAS NICE TO SEE A CROCK POT FULL OF KEILBASA AND BEANS MAKE IT ON SUCH A STEAMY SUMMER NIGHT. FRANK "THE KING" AND JAY TOOK A DIP IN THE POOL AT HALF TIME TO TRY AND LOWER THEIR CORE TEMP. THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING INTO TRYING TO COOL OFF THE ESTABLISHMENT NEXT GAME WITH SOME AIR CONDITIONERS. IF ANY BODY HAS ONE PLEASE CONTACT THAT DEPARTMENT. ALL IN ALL ANOTHER GREAT NIGHT AT THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND SPA. I'M OUT!

PRESEASON GAME 2- ITS A STRETCH

GAME TWO OF THE PRESEASON IS UPON US. THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX WILL HOST ITS SECOND NFL EVENT OF THIS YOUNG SEASON. WE ARE HOPING FOR A BRADY SIGHTING FOR MORE OF A SERIES OR TWO. AND A SIGHTING OF MYSELF- I WILL BE LATE TO THE FESTIVITIES ON ACCOUNT OF THE WIFES YOGA APPARENTLY TRUMPS PRESEASON FOOTBALL. I WILL BE PRESENT AS SOON AS SHE REACHES NAMASTE! PLEASE UNDERSTAND AND BARE WITH ME. I'LL BE THERE IN SPIRIT.

Pre(?)season fare . . .

As our esteemed leader stated the fare was well above previous preseason ratings! Cudos to Big Bob for the baked/broiled brown sugar coated bacon wraped mini-dogs! Let me just express my fear that they go the way of the Man Cakes, rarely seen, though longed for every game. Yes, that's right fans, Big Bob's Bacon Wraped Puppies were that good! Unfortunatley, there are no Macintosh apples available this late(?)/early(?) in the season. So, chocolate cake had to suffice. This week could yeild something else altogether. We'll have to see. But, with low turn out, excessive portions often make up for the lack of tradition. But, with the season yet to begin, one, well, OK, I, can only dream of a week with Big Bob's Bacon Wrapped Puppies, followed by Man Cakes, Buddy's Golabkis, Kevin's Beans, Jason's mother-in-law's meat pie, Cocoaboy's hot chocolate, Wayne's always good dish du jour, and, yes, I'll say it . . . apple pie. Life doesn't get any better. Kevin is always right, "This is the best place EVER!!"

P.S. HOLY CRAP! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ANDY'S CALZONES! I gotta stop blogging after midnight!

Can't wait for the next Game

Thu 8/20/2009 7:30 PM vs Bengals

The Patriots made the following roster moves today:

Traded DE Le Kevin Smith to the Broncos (more on the terms shortly, but it is tied to the Derrick Burgess trade)

Released CB Mike Richardson

Signed RB Chris Taylor

Placed WR Shun White on the reserve/military list.

ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN

THE NFL PRESEASON KICKED OFF IN TOP FORM LAST NIGHT AT THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX. THREE CHARTER MEMBERS WERE THERE CHEERING FOR THE LOCAL 22. THE MENU, HOWEVER, WAS NOT PRESEASON IN FORM. THE MENU COULD HAVE STOOD UP TO OPENING DAY- MINI HOT DOGS WRAPPED IN BACON. OH YA I SAID WRAPPED IN BACON!, HONEY CHICKEN DRUMMIES, CHICKEN AND PEPPERONI PARM CALZONE, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF..... WAIT FOR IT.....CHOCOLATE CAKE. I MUST ADMIT, I AM IN PRESEASON FORM, STRUGGLING TO KEEP MY EYES OPEN IN THE 4TH QUARTER. ALL IN ALL I MUST SAY THE SHED IS BACK.

Limo Service . . .

Well, Ok, it's a run down dirty van, but, it get's me where I need to go!

Anyways, I'll be driving through Maynard between 6:30 & 7:00, so, if a ride is needed, it can be had!

Just let me know!

Game Time Decision

Childcare and inability to drive leaves KH on the sidelines for the moment. Sit tight and see if he can pull off a tuck-rule miracle.

Pats Camp

Gents, I've been down to the Camp a couple of times so far, the boys look focused
especially TB. I am concerned about the secondary as usual . I expect TB to play a little over a quarter against the Eagles. O'Donnell should se plenty of action, with Walters only playing very sparingly if at all . Keep the faith and as always use PROTECTION .

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME SHED!

SHED 26 PATRONS THE NFL SEASON IS ONCE AGAIN UPON US. BRADY IS BACK, THEREFORE THE SHED IS BACK! THURSDAY NIGHT 7:00 AT THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND FUNCTION HALL, THE DOORS WILL OPEN FOR THOSE LOOKING TO GET INTO THE ZONE. NFL, WHATS BETTER THAN THAT? THE ONLY THING YOU CAN ARGUE IS.... THE NFL+ THE SHED 26 . SO FELLA'S LETS KICK IT OFF IN STYLE. P-A-T-S PATS PATS PATS!

The correspondent is BACK!!

Good afternoon fight fans,

I wasn't sure what the general feeling was about tonight's UFC 101 event..Since we had a Shed Fight night a few weeks ago, I figured that this even, while a spectacular card, came a bit too soon to open up the shed doors again.

I'm always up for a last minute highway run, so let me know...If not, your friendly correspondent will be streaming the event through ufc.com then running the feed through the TV...just an insider secret...if you buy the web stream via ufc.com (not the yahoo feed), you also get to watch the un-aired under card fights for free plus you get a bonus, ring card girl cam throughout the event.....although you have to wait until the next morning to watch the un-aired fights. As for the ring card girls, tonight's event marks the debut of the maxim's UFC ring card girl contest winner Natasha (picture above) ....

As for the fights....BJ Penn vs Fenflo? and Anderson "the spider" Silva vs. Forest Griffin at 205lbs? Holy smokes...what a night...

BJ Penn Vs KenFlo: tough one here...two of my favorite fighters to watch...BJ has the edge in power and boxing and is the BJJ master but Kenflo is no BJJ slouch ...Kenflo has crazy Mui Tai Kicks and is a cardio freak...

No one taps, I can tell you that.. and normally my prediction would be that BJ would gas in the third round and Kenflo would win a decision....BUT...the word is that BJ is finally IN-SHAPE...he looked like it at today's weigh in....I guess he spent 2 months training with Mark Marenovich's father this time and an in-shape BJ Penn is too much for anyone in the world at 155, even KenFlo...

Kenflo takes down BJ
BJ sweeps to half guard..
BJgets his leg out and from side control take the mount pretty easily...
from there he'll do a lot of damage and the fight will be stopped... this is BJ's signature, unstoppable move, whenever he is the stronger fighter and is in-shape..


Check out BJ jumping out of a three foot deep pool...this video has everyone thinking that BJ is really in shape this time:

Forest vs the spider?

If forest is able to frustrate Silva with take downs and clinches, he may be able to survive a few rounds...but more likely...with Forests aggressive style and glass-Joe chin...this one could get ugly...the spider has something to prove after a few back-to-back lackluster performances...so he will be in full smash mode...I doubt this goes past a few minutes into the first round....forest will be eating punches and then will certainly go "night-night" via knees whilst in the inescapable Silva Mui Tai clinch...

Your friendly Shed Fight Night correspondent..

UFC

OK I THOUGHT WE HAD OUR OWN UFC CORESPONDENT, APPARENTLY, HE DOESN'T FEEL THE NEED TO CORRESPOND. THE SHED26 BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL TRY TO RECTIFY THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. NOW I AM NOT THE ALL KNOWING ON THIS SUBJECT, BUT, I DO KNOW THAT KEN FLO VS BJ PENN IS THE MAIN EVENT THIS SATURDAY FOR IFC 101.
