Late Night Linkage

I’m still recovering from another mind-blowing episode of “Damages”.

Some Late Night/Early Morning Links

I really should sleep, but because I see a lot of stories on the net for linkage, there’s definitely enough to warrant linkage. Starting with Bruce Allen of Boston Sports Media Watch, he notes that WEEI’s press release announcing the signing of bloated Big Show blowhard Glenn Ordway is filled self-adulation.
