Boston hospital seeks dismissal of sex abuse suit
Jan 27th
Lawyers for Children’s Hospital Boston have asked a Massachusetts judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by 11 former patients of a renowned pediatrician who they say sexually abused them in North Carolina.
The plaintiffs say the hospital could have prevented alleged abuse by the late Dr. Melvin Levine if it had reported accusations of abuse that arose while he worked in Boston from 1966 to 1985.
Levine killed himself last year after he was sued by alleged victims in Boston, where he was accused giving medically unnecessary genital exams to dozens of boys.
Breaking up the “Big Three” in Boston
Jan 26th
The time has come for the Celtics. Danny Ainge is publicly considering breaking up the “big three.” Boston fans can tell you their team is aging. There is no doubt the skill sets of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen have regressed over the past few seasons. The question remains should Ainge start shopping. If he does, who is on the market ?
Paul Pierce could bring the highest value. Pierce is in his 13th year in the NBA at 34 years old. He averages 22.1 PPG in his career and has averaged 18.3, 18.9 and 16.5 in the last three seasons. Contract wise Pierce is a friendly trade prospect. With three years left on his current contract, he will be paid approximately $15 million.

Boston College at NC State: Not So Easy
Jan 19th
The young Eagles take their show on the road once again tonight, this time heading to Raleigh to face new coach Mark Gottfried’s NC State Wolfpack. Boston College are currently 16-point underdogs to their opponents.
Now, you may be thinking this: sure, the Eagles are 7-10, but they’ve won their last two ACC games. Why are they such huge underdogs ?
The answer is simple, even though I personally believe the line is a little high: NC State is good. One can argue that Clemson and Virginia Tech are not that great, but the Wolfpack have put together a 13-5 record, and are also 2-1 in the conference. The closest thing NC State has to a bad loss in 8-9 Georgia Tech, to whom they fell last week.
Boston Celtics Paul Pierce Has Garbage Excuse
Jan 17th
The Boston Celtics are absolutely playing the worst basketball of the last five years. The team is on a current five game losing streak and their play has been less then inspiring. If a team fails to score and falls behind by double digits in the first half due to sloppy play, they are not going to win. However, the team’s captain Paul Pierce had an interesting take on the situation. The fact the team has missed due to the lockout the month long training camp that got the players in basketball shape is the excuse to cling to. Pierce believes that the players are using these first few weeks to get their legs back. This is the largest pile of garbage I have heard in a very long time.
