Weei.com’s Rob Bradford passes along some interesting quotes from the Red Sox’ fiery closer, and now free agent, Jonathan Papelbon… “It really truly isn’t all about the money. It’s just not,” he said from his Mississippi home....

After taking a look at all four of the 2011 first round picks signed by the Red Sox, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the current roster and see where everyone came from. You’ll notice a bit of home-grown talent as well as some former first...

I have a confession to make. I really love being the smartest guy in the room. In fact, sometimes when I realize that I’m the smartest guy in the room, I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure you know it. Sometimes, I can get pretty obnoxious. I know...
