Brett Favre in Minnesota? Brett Favre getting a helicopter ride to the team facility? Have the Vikings been watching the same film as the rest of the NFL? He single-handedly pushed the Jets out of the playoffs last year and cost Eric Mangini his job. He led the NFL in interceptions last year (22) and has only [...]

Decent Community is hitting the road tomorrow for the Phish concert in Hartford, Conn. Two set-list predictions I hope come true: Ya Mar and Lizards. … I am very psyched for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, starring Jeremy Piven as basically Ari trying to sell used cars. I Found a great trailer approved for [...]

The rumor rambled a few weeks ago about the Stoneforge Tavern coming to Dartmouth is officially true. The restaurant is going on Route 6 near BJ’s Wholesale Club in a building that has housed the Ground Round and IXTAPA. It will be all casual dress, unlike other Stoneforges that have casual and fancy sections. … [...]

Celebrate and shout, SouthCoast and beyond, because today is the start of the annual Portuguese Feast in New Bedford! More than 100,000 people attend the four-day celebration of Madeiran culture and heritage, which translates into thousands getting smashed on Madeira wine, grilling carne de espeto (pronounced kanda shpit) on a huge firepit and dancing to [...]

New Bedford has its share of criminals and dumb teenagers, but the kids of today are taking it to a whole new level. On an almost-daily basis, calls are coming in over the police scanner about teenagers hanging out near off ramps and jumping in front of cars coming off the highway. Dumbest thing ever? [...]

The City of New Bedford has finally raised enough money for a fireworks display after not having the funding for the annual Fourth of July celebration this year. The lights in the sky will happen sometime later on this summer, but If I were Mayor Scott W. Lang, I would put the Ruiz Family of Dartmouth [...]

“Men in Black” came on late-night TBS a few days ago. Solid flick, some action, some laughs and some special effects. My biggest problem is that they have a hot chick play the coroner. I’ll believe there are aliens on Earth before I believe Linda Fiorentino is a coroner. Little did you know about Fiorentino: She [...]

A new scum meter is needed to measure how much of an asshole South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is. He vanished from his wife and four kids last week, at first saying he had been hiking before coming clean and admitting he flew to South America to bone a chick he had been having an affair [...]

I’m thrilled the NBA Finals is over. The series was weak and I can’t take anymore Stan Van Gundy-Ron Jeremy jokes. What I am most excited about is not seeing Kobe on SportsCenter every five minutes until April. … Too bad LeBron James wasn’t having a championship parade, but that didn’t stop him from wearing [...]

Who invented the telephone? Alexander Graham Bell, right? Wrong, it was Antonio Meucci, who was recognized officially by the U.S. Congress in 2004  for inventing the first telephone in 1857. He couldn’t afford the $10, which calculates into $228 today, for a patent in 1847, leaving Bell to sweep in and claim he is the [...]

Wow! That Phish show at Fenway was something! Great jams, great people and a great venue. Funneling everyone to Gate B was a mistake, though, by the Boston Police Department. Why funnel everyone to one frickin’ gate when Fenway has multiple entrance points? Especially when they have enough event staff to accommodate a sold-out show. [...]

Will the Red Sox release David Ortiz? He’s not hitting and doesn’t play defense. He’s wasting a roster spot right now. Theo Epstein and Terry Francona are hoping he starts to hit at least a little bit because they can’t keep him if he keeps hitting .180. Do you eat the $12 million and let [...]

 Jason Bay is the man! The guy has 37 RBIs so far this season and is on pace to drive in 170! He shows up to play every day, doesn’t do stupid shit like Manny, doesn’t take steroids like Manny (although, with baseball these days, you can’t prove anyone didn’t take them, but judging by [...]

Happy trails to Dom Deluise, the famed actor, comedian and chef who passed away on Tuesday. He was hysterical on those clips form the Dean Martin Variety Show. I’ll always remember him as Burt Reynolds’ sidekick “Captain Chaos” in the Cannonball Run movies. Thanks for the laughs, Dom. … Two sports veterans went head-to-head in [...]

I’m not scared of swine flu, and I will never wear one of those ridiculous surgical masks like the guys on ER. … So longtime U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) switched parties this week, deciding to jump on the Obama-led Democratic bandwagon.

Jon Lester needs to get his head out of his ass. The thing that worries me most about him is that usually pitchers dominate early in the season. It’s cold and the hitters haven’t seen enough fastballs and breaking balls to really be in the zone (unless your name is Albert Pujols). Now do I [...]

Hey Rook, you’re in the big leagues now — time for a new haircut, some new clothes and a little bit of professionalism. Seriously, clean your shit up — otherwise you’re just wasting our time. We work in a fast-paced environment here, and we don’t tolerate slow learners, good-for-nothin hacks, or two-bit jabronis. We know our stuff [...]

I can’t believe Somali pirates witha few machine guns in stupid inflatable boats are causing havoc in the open seas.
