Smokin Joe…

Just wanted to take a second to send my prayers out to one of the greatest warriors in the history of boxing…. Joe Frazier. Joe is currently battling liver cancer and is in hospice care.  What would boxing lore be without the Ali Frazier trilogy? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wKYbU4wvrQ]

Get this trash out of the neighborhood…

Get this trash out of the neighborhood…

So this a$$hole at 37 Neponset Ave decided to leave his 2 and 7 year old kids to mind his stuff. The problem here is the “stuff” was crack cocaine, an unsecured weapon and 543 rounds of ammo. I’m sure you all know the corner of Victory and Neponset.

Listen, no children deserve to be in a environment like that. If a family member or even a neighbor knew this was happening they should be held accountable too. Keep your eyes open Dorchester….this is your neighborhood….never be afraid to contact police if your suspect something fowl. Keep this trash out of Dot and away from kids.

Not sure what to make of this upcoming web series…it’s certainly low-budget. Take a look and share your thoughts.I’m sure there will be more of these little spinoffs to come….let’s hope they keep things accurate and respectful of the families who lost their loved ones.

Do you know that SeeClickFix is fast becoming the standard for reporting issues to your city government? Boston is now using it integrated with the Open311 standard. This gives you direct access to their reporting systems at City Hall. Let’s say your rolling down Adams Street and you whack a massive pothole. Or you spot some vandalizm, grafiti, traffic issues  or a damaged street light for instance. Wouldn’t it be nice to let the city know about it but also hold them publicly accountable? You’re able to do that today…you can download the SeeClickFix app to your cell phone and snap a picture of the problem. You provide a short description of the issue…your GPS will Google map the vicinity of the issue and you can submit it to Boston…it will then will get routed to the proper department. You can track a resolution of the problem all the way through to completion and other Dot Rats can vote to have it fixed. Because it’s so transparent…your government has to respond in a timely fashion. This also provides folks the means to easily participate in their community. You can do it anonymously or provide contact info.  If you live in a city or town that does not use this yet….call and demand that they do.

Terrell Owens a Patriot?

This man seems to think the Pats are interested and TO is a good fit. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EdjMl7aj48] I like TO…he would add some more depth to the Patriot receiving corps. The question in do we really need him and if he’s going to have a huge

In my lifetime I have watched Rob Noble get shot over 5 dollars on Ashmont Street. Another kid bleed to death from being stabbed outside my homeroom in high school. Kiwi gets killed a few weeks back after the Irish festival…and now another armed robbery 

When the Saints go marching in….

When the Saints go marching in….

How bad does it suck to be the Colts this morning. What do you say? You literally got your ass handed to you by the Saints.  62 points? Really?  Even if your team isn’t firing on all cylinders…you have a multimillion dollar payroll….you’re paid huge cash not to play like a Pop Warner team. This is the stuff that really makes you count your blessings as a Patriots fan….Here’s the list of records set by the Saints against the Colts yesterday.These are Madden numbers for sh*ts sake.

Land Ho!!!

Land Ho!!!

Seriously, how much friggin land do you need? I understand that when your loaded you try and come up with creative ways to spend your cash. But seriously…2 million acres? There have been land owners in the past who purchased acres for conservation purposes…and that’s commendable. But why
