Wish me luck…

Wish me luck…

In 1991 I made one of the worst decisions of my life. And like anyone, I have made my fair share. I was working as a foot courier in downtown Boston at the time. It was a decent job for a young Dot Rat. I

The Aaron Hernandez option…

The Aaron Hernandez option…

Yeah, it sucked to watch the B’s go down in that fashion last night. Especially since they played such a good game after the first half of period one. But hey, look on the bright side, you could be Aaron Hernandez. Mr. Thug Nasty from 

Coffee with a Chef Boy…

Coffee with a Chef Boy…

Campbell is a Dot Rat…

He showed grit, he may have saved us a goal, he didn’t leave his teammates and as it turns out his leg was broken in the process. Greg Campbell’s display of courage last night exemplifies what it means to be a hockey player, a Bruin, a Bostonian and ultimately a Dot Rat. It’s no secret that when our players (in any sport) show this type of toughness it only endears them to us….the fans. Bostonians love to see people master adversity, we embrace the fighting spirit and have done so since we invented America.

Whether it’s Curt Schilling’s bloody sock in the 2004 World Series or Marvin Hagler’s 3rd round against Tommy Hearns in “The War”, we have given these athletes legendary status here in Boston….Greg Campbell should be no exception.

If any of our readers actually have the means to get in touch with Greg Campbell….I would love to give him a Dot Rat shirt!
