‘Spring’ in Maine. We don’t really have one. That’s just the way it is around here. High school sports teams are used to practicing their outdoor sports indoors and having most of the start of their season postponed due to weather. But I have a possible solution: Let’s give every high school in Maine a […]
Joe Kelly is a freakin’ rock star right now. If New England had a Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, they would enshrine his goggles immediately. You’ve seen the video of the brawl with the Yankees I’m sure.

Last winter I spent several Saturday mornings watching my eleven and eight-year-old nieces play elementary school basketball. I think that it is vital that every school have a strong youth athletic program. My nieces are both very tall for their age and have bits of raw talent. I watched as the coach pulled one […]
The University of Maine has extended Red Gendron’s contract until 2021. That’s cool. But with it comes some clear expectations from Jeff Solari of The Sports Chowdah. Click below to watch the short video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/QzOOAu5RJ2k Thoughts: E mail Jeff@sportschowdah.com
There are times where a passionate fan base can be its own worst enemy.
