Hitting to all fields

If you're fan of Newport County football, whether you like Rogers, Middletown, Tiverton or Rogers, Thursday is a day you have to be excited about. Now if only Rogers could play Portsmouth, and we'd know who the real county champion is.

- The Celtics certainly know how to end a losing skid. And speaking of the NBA, what's happening to the Miami Heat? If you listen close enough, you can actually hear people jumping off the bandwagon.

- I still firmly believe that boxing is dead until the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. But it's still better than MMA.

- Daily News sportswriter Rick McGowan gets a vote for the Heisman Trophy, and right now, is there a clear cut winner?

- Speaking of college football, good for the University of Rhode Island for moving to a new conference in 2013. Clearly, the Rams are headed in the right direction under second-year coach Joe Trainer, who recently was named Colonial Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, and now they want to be more competitive in a conference more suited for them.

- This New England Patriots offense reminds me of the one that won the Super Bowl in 2004. Playing the role of Troy Brown is Wes Welker. Playing the role of Kevin Faulk is Danny Woodhead, and BenJarvus Green-Ellis is reminiscent of Antoine Smith. Playing the role of Deion Branch is ... well, Deion Branch.

- Can you imagine the numbers Josh Hamilton could have put up had he not missed the first half dozen seasons?

- I guess the Boston Red Sox didn't have Victor Martinez in their plans for 2011. I just hope they'll make a move to replace his bat in the lineup.

- It's safe to say football wasn't meant for Wrigley Field.
