What headlines are buzzing via morse code today?

Bruins make a deal with the devil. Not really. The Bruins signed 35-year old Miroslav Satan, who has been inactive since winning a Stanley Cup with the Penguins last year. Pros of the deal: It is only costing $350,000 and Satan is known to score. Over 13 seasons he has scored 354 goals and added 367 assists over 1,012 games. Ten of his seasons have over 20 goals. Cons of the deal: He’s old, and rusty, not having played yet this season. Satan should be on the ice in about two weeks and we’ll see what he’s got. Either way, this deal can’t really hurt, and could possibly help.

Brady sees the glass half full. Brady addressed Wes Welker’s injury on WEEI and found a positive spin on his absence for this coming week. “It’s one less player they have to worry about, obviously,” Brady said. “But there’s going to be other things. We’re going to evolve a little bit as an offense now. It was a very Wes Welker-oriented offense. And now, maybe part of the advantage is Baltimore really doesn’t know what they’re going to see from us now. We’re going to have to shift focus. They’re really not sure where that focus is going to go. In some ways that’s an advantage for us. There’s a lot of things we’ve done with Wes that we don’t do with anyone else. We’re going to find other areas to exploit, and use the talents of Julian and Sam [Aiken] and Randy and Chris Baker and Kevin [Faulk] and Laurence [Maroney] and Fred [Taylor] and Sammy [Morris] — all these other really great players we have on offense to be able to move the ball.” So, there’s some hope right?

Bye Bye Bay. We knew it was coming, but it’s official. Bay passed his physical exam this morning and is officially a Met. Four years, $66 mil. Good luck with that one Bay. When was the last time they won a World Series? Oh yes, 1986. We’ll miss him, but at least he’s going to the less hellish side of New York.

Politics and Sports? For anyone that does care, a little bit of politics fit into Red Sox Nation today. Curt Schilling endorsed Republican State Senator Scott Brown to fill Ted Kennedy’s US Senate seat. Schilling had originally wanted to run himself, but I guess he’s settled for someone else. Brown faces Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the race. On his blog Schilling wrote of Brown, “He’s for smaller government, stopping the concentration of power in one political party, a strong military and vigorous homeland defense, as well as — and probably most appropriate and meaningful right now — giving all Americans health care, but not by creating a new government insurance program.” Take this as you wish, but in my opinion Curt should have stuck with baseball.
