              There is something nostalgic about a using a vintage motorcar for riding to pick out a Christmas tree. This 1933 Plymouth seemed to fit the bill. Read More

                  The refs who blew the Pats-Chiefs game should get the rest of the season off

                  While hosting the afternoon sports talk show on WZON AM 620 in Bangor years ago, my co host and I did a show around the question “Can refs cost a team a win?” I made my case that of course officials could hose a team with bad calls. Read More

                              When I saw the title of Captain Hank Bracker’s book, The History of Liberia & West Africa, I did not think it would be of much interest to me. I could not have been more wrong. Bracker is a graduate of Maine Maritime Academy and has… Read More

                                  If you’re a true fan of the classic NBC sitcom Cheers, you’ll remember Harry the Hat from some early episodes. “The Hat” was a slick conman played by the late Harry Anderson of Night Court fame.

                                      Is the presidential campaign already boring or confusing?

                                              It’s wicked hard to believe it’s almost 2020! The start of a new year. The birth of a new decade. As we look back, what an amazing and sometimes crazy past decade it has been for New England sports. This month we’ll look back and hand out… Read More

                                                      I think Maine earned another cool “first” this week. Someone with a deeper trivia repertoire than myself can — and I’m sure, will — correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing the Pine Street State just made history.
