Sugar’s fight postponed…

So the Danny O’Conner fight @ TD Garden has been postponed till January 26th. Danny suffered an injury during training and we wish him a speedy recovery. Till then, our favorite Dot Rat pugilist will have to wait to drop an ass whipping. This is just

It’s official, as of today we are at 100,000 hits and as you all can imagine…I’m pumped. I didn’t know what to expect when I started this thing but I’m glad I did. I would like to thank the academy….and everyone else who supports this

So my buddy Jake has been chasing me for a while to create a podcast. I tried to avoid it for a while but Jake is a pretty persistent dude. So I pitched in a few bucks, we got one microphone and a mixer and now we are ready to take the world by storm. Not really, I’m not exactly “trained” in any of this like a Danny Picard for instance, which is why I was so reluctant to do it. So we get hopped on some caffeine on Saturday night and went for it. Once we started recording I actually chilled out and started to enjoy it. We kept it loose and just had convo over some music. We talked about life in general and even took a phone call from Jake’s girl…. “Karen from Brookline”. The audio is choppy because of the one mic situation….but here’s 12 minutes of our 55 we spent recording. We are totally learning this as we go and the language can be rough but we do want your opinion.

So I grew up across the street from a very proud family with roots in Nova Scotia. Not only are they proud of their roots but they are very proud Americans. Given their background in military service and service to our city I consider them

So someone decided to start posting Wikipedia articles to YouTube. Not really a bad thing, especially when you may have a number of users who may be blind and need the audio feed. All good right? Whats up with the computer generated voices though? They

I’m pumped to announce that Billy “Sugar” Traft will be representing Dorchester at the TD Garden on December 14th. Just like the fight at Gillette Stadium, he will be fighting on the card with Ken Casey’s boy Danny O’Conner as the main event. Should be a fun night and with tickets starting at 35 bucks it’s a great excuse to take your family! Get your seats HERE or buy them at McGreeveys, The Banshee and Peter Welch’s gym. Be sure to check back for more info!

Apparently some boys got together at an undisclosed location for a little NHL action. Looks like they coined it the Sweeney Cup….hey you gotta do something fill the void the Bruins left. I gotta admit I’m a little heated that a fellow Dot Rat was

The McGwire turkey…

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year in my opinion. It’s got three elements that every Dot Rat loves….food, booze and football. In my case there is a fourth one, cooking. I’m one of those people that likes making a massive feast 

Seriously people?

WTF is with people falling onto subway tracks lately? This lady doesn’t even look like she’s on a phone. How is it you don’t even bother to pay attention while you’re on a subway platform? Check out this spaceshot down at the Andrew Square stop yesterday.
