Let's not talk about Sox, baby

It's the last day of November, nearly three months before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, and this town can’t stop talking about the Red Sox. Give it a rest already.

The speculation about Roy Halladay, Marco Scutaro, Jason Bay, Adrian Gonzalez, Felix Hernandez, getting another bat, bolstering the rotation, the revolving door at shortstop, Clay Buchholz and the health of Mike Lowell is slightly overwhelming.

Especially when you consider the Patriots are facing an undefeated team tonight and the Celtics are back to their winning ways, having won their fourth straight game on Sunday. Sure, the Bruins aren’t much to talk about, but they’ve won five of their last six games and are atop the Northeast Division.

I understand that these talking heads need to fill time, but there are plenty of other things to talk about. Instead, all I’ve heard the past few days is a lot of hot air without a lot of actual news.

Here’s hoping the Tiger Woods incident can steal some of that thunder ... at least until the next big rumor about who’s coming to Boston gets started.
