Random Thoughts (December 12, 2007)

Happy Anniversary to Mark Henderson. Henderson gave kicker John Smith a huge assist 25 years ago today, using his snow plow to clear a small patch of turf at the old Schaffer Stadium so Smith could boot the game winning field goal in a 3-0 win over the Dolphins. Henderson, who was serving time for robbery and worked the Patriots games on work release, stuck it to the biggest sore loser ever, Don Shula... Schilling thinks Santana is bound for Boston. Hey, he did break the story of Papelbon returning to the closer job in March... SpyGate meets Bay State, be there Friday night... Bobby Petrino may be a scum bag for jumping ship on the Falcons with three games to play but would Atlanta owner Arthur Blank have been attacked if he had canned Petrino after 13 games? I think not... The Bruins are showing life but I'm not ready to buy in yet... Enjoy the Commonwealth Classic tonight...
