    Dear dimwit on the phone

    Top division state hockey tournament game is a rivalry game between conference foes Tech and Central. The game is played in a D1 college rink so the fan bases are specifically separated to different sides. A smartass Tech kid walks around the arena, gets right behind the Central students, and...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    I'll throw my favorite story in on this one. When I was a high school intern at the Townie Times I worked a lot of desk. Back in the day the Times had a writer, Ron Cole, that won a Pulitzer for a mega story that he broke. So one day I get a call at the desk. BN: "Times Sports." Dude with...

    Arriving to an empty building

    Slated to cover a football game between Podunk and South last season at 7. In my area come October a lot of games get bumped up to Friday afternoon starts because of West Nile or other mosquito-borne illnesses that towns spray for at night. So I'm reading the weekly football column around 430...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    Not a phone call but an official in this tale. Covered football tonight. Podunk leads Central 35-21 with under 30 seconds left. Podunk runs a draw on third down and gets close to the first down marker. They don't even have to take a knee to end it; all they gotta do is stand around. Since the...

    Favorite lede you've ever written or read?

    Three here. 1. Covered a football playoff game last year. It was an absolute batshirt game that ended with 23 points in the final 90 seconds. - The ending seemed like fiction, but for Cambridge senior Shaquille Anderson the pain was visceral. In the final 90 seconds, 23 points had been scored...

    Teen in a CFB/NFL Press Box

    I've been in press boxes with writers who brings their kids because they've been around for so long they can get away with it. The kids are fine it's the horrendously immature writers that I've encountered over the years that make life miserable. Another good rule to Starman's list: always...

    If it was the 18th hole where you get a free round if you ace it then it's a huge forking deal. Been trying to nail that hole for decades and can't.

    Proper attire for the press box

    A past editor of mine once said "If you'd wear it on the golf course you can wear it on the beat, but you never wear jean shorts." I've been living by that ever since. However, when New England winter hits I'm just dressing to stay warm so if my sweater and winter coat are the colors of the...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    I started using this formula for lacrosse, and I'm going to move it over and use it for hockey and soccer starting next season. On the shot line of my notebook I register all shots on cage with an X, all shots the ring the post, go wide, or are blocked with a O, and all goals with a check mark.

    Best writers to read for a young writer

    If you're not reading Wright Thompson you are doing yourself a disservice. Also, take intiative and go find good writing. Grantland has plenty of good stuff in its archive as does Deadspin.

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    Covered Division 4 football at Podunk high last season and they had a kicker who could hit with force and accuracy from 50-plus so the diamonds are there, but yeah they're few and far between. FWIW, I'm a freelancer for several websites in my area and inevitably I'll get smarmy parents who'll...

    Favorite assignment

    I got three. 1. Last November I covered a state playoff football game that featured 23 points and three lead changes in the last 90 seconds. After that the miracles that Auburn pulled a few weeks later didn't seem so special :). 2. Last year was the 15th anniversary of my school's best...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    I'm a big racing fan in suburban Boston, which is nowhere close to NASCAR country. I just go on the web for my racing information or TV shows like NASCAR Raceday. I know that not everyone has the Internet, but in the current marketplace some of the blame has to go on the fan here. You like...
