Walk of Shame: New England Sports Are Crumbling

By Chris Mottram
Think back to your college days – or to perhaps this morning – and you should recall what the “walk of shame†is. Things are still blurry as you try to sort out what happened last night. Much like when your roommate helped you recall the debauchery, so to are we here to help you sort out yesterday’s sports madness.

First the Pats (Almost) Lose, Now This?
The Celtics lost. Again. And by “again” I mean it in the most literal sense as they lost for just the second time all season. Bron-Bron dropped 38 points and the Cavs won 109-104 in overtime. Boston can still run the table and win 80 games.
Big Ten Not Much of a ‘Challenge’ For the ACC
As predicted yesterday, Indiana was the only win for the Big Ten (Eric Gordon scored 29) over the ACC last night. Duke continues to look (sadly) like the greatest team in all the land. UVA, Clemson and Florida St. all won as well. The Big Ten has five more chances to redeem itself tonight, highlighted by UNC-Ohio State at 9PM.
Honoring the Late, Great Sean Taylor
Fans held a vigil for Taylor outside Redskins Park in Virginia last night. On Sunday, the Redskins will wear No. 21 on both their helmets and jerseys when they play the Bills at home. Additionally, every stadium in the league will have a moment of silence prior to kickoff.
