You can look at life with a glass half full, or half empty. Today in Boston is a little bit of both, maybe a touch more bad.

The Good:

• Wes Welker, may have the biggest challenge of his career ahead, but his work this season hasn’t gone unnoticed. Welker got some positive news today, being selected to the AP All-Pro first team for his first time. No other Patriots made the cut.

• The Celtics may be without Garnett and Wallace, but that didn’t stop them from rocking the Nets last night 111-87. This is the eleventh straight time the Celts have beaten the Nets. The Celts scored a season-high of 71 points in the first half, and Pierce scored 24 points in 28 minutes of game time.

The Bad:

• Patriots linebacker Junior Seau reports that the Sunday was his last NFL game and he is retiring, as he approaches 41. As if the Pats needed to lose more of their defense.

• The Bruins lost their third straight to the Ducks 3-4 last night, also their 4th loss in five games.

• Duke proved their rep, beating BC 79-59, giving the Eagles their second loss in the ACC this season.

• Celts coach Rivers was fined a big 25,000 for arguing with the ref’s during Monday’s Hawks game. The worst part: the league admits the call was wrong.

• The Patriots are still out of the playoffs.
