I write about the Celtics at Sports of Boston. Luckily, the year in which we started blogging was probably the most exciting year for the Celtics in 15 years or more. As you read more and more, you’ll find that I’m the guy that loves Antoine Walker endlessly, and hates Rick Pitino just the same. I’ll never forgive him for trading a package headed by rookie Chauncey Billups for Kenny Anderson. I’m also one of the few who believed Danny Ainge when he said he’d make it work.

On a more personal level, I recently graduated from Boston University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. I have wanted to be a sports writer for as long as I can remember, which brings me to my current position at Sports of Boston. I work unbelievably early mornings (try me) Monday-Friday at WHDH Ch. 7 (Boston’s NBC affiliate) as a web producer, where basically I update the site all day with news stories and videos, and I answer any user questions via email/phone.

The Sports of Boston community was founded on the basis that there is no other site in the Boston area like it. While the idea for the site came months before its debut, it took an extremely significant event to motivate us to start it up. That motivation came on July 31, 2007, when the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett and the Red Sox acquired Eric Gagne. The day brought a tremendous amount of sports excitement to the city, and we all wanted to be apart of that. Ten days later, Sports of Boston was born.

If you have any Celtics-related inquiries, or you want to privately comment on any of my posts, please feel free to email me: kc at sportsofboston.com.

I’m the behind-the-scenes tech guy at Sports of Boston. I’m responsible for making sure all the moving parts assemble together so you can experience Sports of Boston the way it’s been envisioned. I’ll also write some news stories and perhaps even a few statistical-based columns when I have time.

I was indoctrinated into the world of Boston sports when I was little. My dad always brought meet to summer games at Fenway Park during the days of Dwight Evans, Ellis Burks, Wade Boggs and later with Mo Vaughn and Pedro. I even saw Jose Canseco pitch in a game for the Red Sox. I think I witnessed one of the biggest homeruns ever at Fenway when Frank Thomas completely crushed one over the top of light tower in left field: it was a sight to behold. Recently, I’ve also seen some awesome walkoff homeruns by Ortiz; there’s always a special feeling at Fenway when he steps up to the plate, spits in his batting gloves, claps his hands, and walks into the batter’s box; you can almost feel that you’re on the verge of something special.

I also remember one Celtics game, the date: March 15, 1992, Celtics vs. Blazers at the old Boston Garden. Pre-game word was that Larry Bird wasn’t going to play because he was sick, but as a consolation, I’d still be able to see Clyde “The Glide” Drexler beat up on the Bird-less Celtics. Well gametime came, and Larry Bird suited up! In an epic double overtime game, the Celtics pulled it out with Bird hitting a miracle three-pointer to force overtime and carrying through to the second overtime. My voice was so worn out from cheering during the game, I couldn’t talk for a few days afterwards…

I graduated from the College of Engineering at Cornell University with a degree in Information Science, Systems, and Technology. What the heck does that mean? It’s basically a combination of lots of math, software engineering, probability, statistics, human-computer interaction, and some artificial intelligence thrown in. Pretty fun stuff!

When I’m not blogging, I’m usually at my day job as an IT Consultant for Sapient working as a Program Manager. When I’m not doing either or finding ways to avoid sleeping, I’m probably working on one of my various side projects dealing with music…more on that later.

If you have an suggestions for cool things you’d like to see at Sports of Boston, found some annoying bug, or want to talk about some hair-pulling engineering problem you can’t figure out, you can reach me at chris at sportsofboston.com.

What’s up everyone? I’m 23 years old and I currently live in Saco, Maine. I work at a CW affiliate TV station in Portland, Maine where I am in charge of promotions and also co-produce a high school sports show. In May 2007, I graduated from Boston University with a bachelors degree in broadcast journalism and a minor in history.

While at BU I was a sports writer for The Daily Free Press, BU’s independent student newspaper. There, I wrote about several different sports and in the fall of 2006 I was one of the beat writers for the nationally ranked Terrier’s women’s soccer team. I also helped out on Terrier Nation, a bi-weekly sports broadcast show completed by students which aired on BUTV.

My other journalism experience came in the summer of 2006 where I worked as a full time sports writer for Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, NH. There I wrote daily game stories and features on sports of all different levels - from little league to college. I was fortunate enough to be the exclusive Foster’s writer to cover the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA when Portsmouth Little League won the New England Regional Tournament.

Personally, I am enamored with sports and can’t go a day without seeing at least a part of Sportsenter. My favorite teams include the New England Patriots - for which I’ve been to every playoff game since 2001 by way of my father’s season tickets, the Atlanta Braves, Boston Celtics and my true passion, Liverpool Football Club in England. I also closely follow the sports of my alma mater at Boston University and I follow Duke basketball and Florida State football.

When I’m not watching sports I enjoy war movies and comedies, bonfires, video games and politics. Feel free to email me at jeff at sportsofboston.com if you have any other questions or comments about the blog or specifically what you’re looking for from the Patriots beat writer.

Hey I’m Dan. I chose do be the beat blogger for the Red Sox because I’ve been obsessed with them my whole life. Troy O’Leary used to be my hero. It must have been his career .274 average. My favorite parts of the year are the off-season hot stove and the build-up to the start of the season. These are the most positive times of the year. Come playoff time there is always room to worry.

My baseball hero now has to be Bill James. I love his addiction to the numbers of the game. I have the same affinity but not as much patience as he does. Check out his website at: fangraphs.com.

My favorite baseball player for the Red Sox currently has to be Dustin Pedroia. For a numbers guy, he tickles me. He swings a ton, rarely strikes out, and make a lot of solid contact. He has a lot of potential. In a career year he could easily go for a batting title. Plus he a rabbit at 2nd and gets to a lot of balls.

Any comments or questions about the Sox email me: dan at sportsofboston.com.

Hey everyone, my name is Dev and I know it’s spelled “Dev” but it’s actually pronounced “Dave”. Not that it matters too much since this is “teh Internets” and all. But anyways, I’m a student at UMass Amherst and showing no real signs of leaving but it’s all good, I do love it here deep down. I’ve also recently taken a job at Old Navy part-time, it’s uhh.. sweet… I guess.

What’s really important is why I’m here. And that’s because I have an insatiable love for sports. If you know me, when I turn on the TV there are two and only TWO possibilities of what you will find - something trashy from VH1/MTV or ESPN. I think the reason this blog got started is because we realized that a lot of our debates and arguments over sports were really something worth publishing for the public to digest as well. We all share a real passion for sports, more specifically Boston sports. I hope that this blog is both informative and fun to read for our readers. I also hope that it’s interesting for our readers to gain the perspective of a group of people who aren’t typically found in mainstream media, that being the college-aged crowd.

I encourage all of our readers to please get in contact with us with any questions/comments you may have. We can’t get enough feedback from you guys, that way we can give you what you really want.

Hello sports fans, my name is Pete. My job around here is also one of my favorite hobbies, and that is fantasy sports. Fantasy sports attracts millions of people who dream of being the GM of their own team. I hope to reach out to all of those and offer a new perspective on this deliciously addictive game that we all love. For those who are desperately waiting for Adrian Beltre to have another monster season like he did in 2004 or those who have been burned by drafting Michael Vick (even though you keep saying you won’t), I just want you to know that I feel your pain and I am here to console you.

On a personal level, I am a communications major currently enrolled at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, MA. My interests have bounced all around the field from radio to journalism to television to anything else you can think of. As for accomplishments in my field, less than a year ago I took home the award for “Best Introductory Feature” at our school’s video showcase. My hope is to have a job in television production after I graduate, but for now, I am proud to be a part of this team of writers.

When I am not researching fantasy sports, I am in class or at work as a mail carrier at Bridgewater State. Also, I am an avid bowler and consider it my favorite activity to do (other than writing for this blog of course).

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me because it is you, the reader, who makes this site possible.

I joined the team to help with Red Sox coverage and add my insights in that area right now. In the future, I’ll probably be filling other holes in our lineup as they come up. I’ve been a Boston sports fan my entire life, passed from my dad. Every generation of Red Sox fan has some tragedy (most recent being Aaron Boone in 2003) that has made us appreciate the recent championships and breaking of “The Curse” and I am no different. For me, it was being woken up by my dad for the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, so I would be able to witness the title that had proved so elusive for my dad and many Red Sox fans for the previous 67 years. Instead, I was able to witness the collapse firsthand and be officially indoctrinated into the heartbroken Red Sox fans club.

I graduated from Boston College in 2000 with degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics and have been a software engineer at Fidelity Investments ever since. I’ve been married for 4 years and have started my home team with two daughters, almost 3 and 1, who are definitely growing up Boston sports and BC fans, and unlike me, didn’t have to wait very long for their first Red Sox title! In my spare time, I play fantasy sports, online poker, Sudoku, and crosswords.

I’d love to hear your feedback on my work either via comments or email me mike at sportsofboston.com.

I’m one of the newer guys at Sports of Boston. I do recaps and stories about the Celtics mainly, and I got my start just around the arrival of Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown. So when the team got some new blood, so did the Sports of Boston team in me.

Right now I am currently enrolled as a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, along with Dev. I am about to head into my Junior year there and I am a Communications major. I am pretty much a hopeful of getting into some sort of sports broadcasting, whether its as an analyst, reporter, play by play, etc. I just want to be one of those guys. Sports of Boston is my first crack at writing and sports combined and if that turns out into something then maybe I won’t be doing the broadcasting but writing the stories afterwards.

I’ve been a huge Boston sports fan for a while now. When I was younger I was really into basketball and loved both the Celtics and Chicago Bulls (come on what kid didn’t like Michael Jordan?). Since then I’ve gotten into baseball much more and would have to declare that as my all time favorite sport. I am a huge Red Sox fan and although I don’t get to go to many games I still watch just about everyone of them. The Celtics are still close to me even more so now that I write about them, and what Boston fan couldn’t love the Patriots.

Besides sports I also play the saxophone in the band at UMass as well my fair share of video games. I would like to think of myself as somewhat of a movie buff but I am not nearly at the level of some of my friends. Anyway though that’s me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading my stuff guys.

As a native New Yorker, I have been recruited to this blog to bring some outside opinions to the site. I grew up a huge Yankees and Knicks fan, but thanks to the Dolans and their amazing eye for great management, I grew to shudder at the thought of watching the Knicks. I jumped on the New York Rangers bandwagon in 1994, but the NHL lockout had lessened my desire to see hockey, until I started following Boston University’s hockey team, which rekindled my love of the sport. Finally I started watching football regularly following the 2000 Super Bowl appearance by the New York Giants. Reading books like Moneyball and the websites that grew from the following led to me also coming to a greater understanding of the business side of sports and reading way too many sports sites on a daily basis. I graduated in 2007 from Boston University with a degree in computer science, but I’ll always maintain my love of sports and try to provide an informed opinion about them. I work as a programmer for Loews Corporation, and otherwise spend my time avoiding sleep, just like Chris. I appreciate any feedback that is thought out and about a topic I’ve written about or even suggestions for new topics.

I provide the female perspective here at Sports of Boston with my “Not Another Pink Hat” column. I have been a sports fan my whole life. I never had a choice since my mom watched baseball, football, and basketball (NBA, WNBA and Boston College) religiously when I was growing up. Despite writing the Not Another Pink Hat column, my favorite color is pink and I have no problem wearing pink Red Sox and Patriots gear.

I am a hospitality management student with a concentration in event planning at UMass Amherst. Ideally, I would like to combine my love for the Red Sox, community service, and event planning by working for the Red Sox foundation.

I encourage everyone and anyone to contact me with comments (good or bad), questions, and/or story ideas.
