Keith Hayes got his love for writing in the 6th grade where he began writing sci-fi stories for classmates and friends, while continuing to write over the years as a personal hobby.
In 1991 after purchasing WebTV, he caught the Internet bug and began writing on various message boards and newsgroups under the pseudonym Mista Sinista. His posts became popular as he covered movie reviews, the New England Patriots, WCW and WWE (formerly WWF) wrestling. Just do a Google search for Mista Sinista or Sinista1 under groups, and you'll discover enough material to read for months.
As his debating talents developed online, he became vocal in his local newspaper, the Enterprise. He began submitting Letters to the Editor, and most of his pieces were printed on a regular basis. He also had similar success with his letters to the early years of Patriots Football Weekly. After generating some buzz and catching the eyes of readers, Keith was contacted to write for wrestling web site Wrestlenutz.com. He was then later contacted to write for a New England Patriots fan website PatriotsFootball.com, which is now known as PatsFans.com.
When covering the Pats, Keith kept his Mista Sinista attitude and reviewed the games with his "tell it like it is" style. The Patriots experience soon took off, and allowed him to meet various players, travel to a Pro Bowl in Hawaii, a Super Bowl in New Orleans, several away games in the Meadowlands, and some great games in Foxboro, where he has been a season ticket holder since 1990.
Today, he covers the New England Patriots for eSports and as a 12th Man correspondent for PatsFans.com. You can read his political and local debates on his hometown site Brockton Forums. But for a real treat, you can also see the twisted side on his moniker web site Sinista1.com, where he has some great spoofs like "Barbie and Ken's True Hollywood Story," and "Celebrity Survivor."
Most recently, Keith has become a co-host on two hit radio shows at WXBR 1460 AM in Brockton (formerly WBET). On Fridays, Keith can be heard during the "On the Mark PI Show," with his host Private Investigator Mark Chauppetta, who has his own reality television show in negotiations, and a role in the upcoming horror film Frightworld where he plays an FBI Agent hunting a serial killer who has killed his wife.
Keith is now following in his host’s footsteps after scoring a part in Walt Disney's upcoming movie "The Game Plan," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In the movie, Keith plays a football player on QB Joe Kingman’s (Dwayne's character) Boston Rebels rival team the New York Dukes. Also joining Keith on the show is defense attorney Ken Diesenhof, and Brockton Police Officer Frank "Czman".
On Saturdays, Keith can be heard during "Krashing Into the Bigfield/The Lock Up" from noon to 4 p.m. talking sports with Enterprise writer Kevin Tocci, and aspiring actor Tom Mariano, cousin to "Boston Rob" of "Survivor/Amazing Race" fame. The show also features guests Matt Futrell, Peter Czymbor, Dennis Harris, and is produced by former Indie wrestler Mike Pavia. The South Shore Sports Show is growing, as the first two hours cover sports (professional and local), while the second two hours cover the best talk in professional and Indie wrestling.
eSports Sinista1 gives his thoughts on the past weekend, while touching base on college idiots, NFL coaches, advertising and the Mannings.
I know, I know, I know… You all just heard from me on Saturday night, but a lot of things have happened since then, and I really wanted to get them off of my chest.
The Redskins beat Tampa Bay as I said, and now they have to go out to Seattle and beat the Seahawks. The Seahawks have an uncanny way of letting their fans down in the post season, but I don’t think this is going to be that game. Look for a well-rested Seahawk squad to take it to the Redskins this weekend.
The Carolina Panthers advanced to take a trip to Chicago where Bears fans have been waiting a long time for a playoff game. The problem here is that the NFC competition has been a mess this season, and is an utter toss up. This game could be LB Brian Urlacher’s moment to shine on a national front, while WR Muhsin Muhammad looks to get the last laugh on his former team. I like the Bears.
The Pats head over to Invesco Field at Mile High for a Saturday night match up against a Denver Broncos team that covered a lot of real estate through the air in their earlier match up this season. The big difference this weekend…
A healthier depth chart featuring a nasty defensive front seven, a ground game that is due to breakout, and the most important of all; no CB Duane Starks in the secondary. Look for the Pats to win.
In the final game of the weekend, the Indianapolis Colts welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I’m sure everyone will remember how coach Bill Cowler lost that game for his team on Monday by going for an unnecessary onside kick. But my thoughts on the Steelers don’t end there, because last week I picked the Cincinnati Bengals to win, and I’m 99.9 percent sure that if QB Carson (you ever notice how people always mistake themselves by saying Daly) Palmer didn’t get injured on the second play of that game, the Bengals would have been off to Denver and the Pats would have been off to Indy. Came Monday morning, Cowler and his players were giving the press the same ole’ "Woulda, coulda, shoulda." Look for Manning to torch the Steelers secondary.
And since we are on the topic of the Mannings… Is this family cursed? Does not being able to win the BIG games run in the family? Eli Manning was supposed to lead the NY Giants to the Promised Land, and instead he threw three picks and fumbled the ball away.
Is it safe to say?
"Like father, like son, like son?" or would that be, "Like father, like son, like brother?"
Anyway, let’s get back to that Bengals/Steelers match-up, and "The Hit." A hit that I’m sure will be debated for years to come in Cincinnati. In my opinion, I don’t think the hit was deliberately or maliciously dirty, but I do think it was instinctively done, and should have drawn the flag for a late hit, as Bengals’ head coach Marvin Lewis believed as well. The proof to me is the replay, which clearly contradicts the call the refs gave.
The refs claim, NT Kimo von Oelhoffen was blocked into Carson, which is why no flag for a late hit was thrown. My argument here is that if he was blocked, then how did he have the knowledge to wrap up Palmer’s leg and lead with the side of his helmet? Maybe he didn’t see that Palmer had already gotten rid of the ball, but he knew he was low. He was also well aware of the damage he caused at the end of the play as he called for help.
All of these guys can speak in his defense and say how much of a great guy he is, but we all know that emotion can change people and they proved that later in the game when Steelers' SS Troy Pomamalu shoved the football into Bengals' C Rich Braham’s face. The guys in the booth all claimed how nice Troy was off the field, but how he becomes a "monster" on the field. They even showed highlights of him taking it to QB Carson Palmer over the last couple of seasons despite the fact they were roommates and friends while at USC.
Also in the NFL, several coaches were hired and fired with some acts of brutal coldness. New Orleans dumped HC Jim Haslett after his team’s season was turned upside down from Hurricane Katrina. Granted his coaching record wasn’t that hot, but come on I think the guy and his team deserves a pass for this year.
In St. Louis, the Rams fired Mike Martz after he came back from heart issues, and it was rumored the dismissal came from his beef with the front office during his tenure. If this firing was done as the ultimate FU to Martz from the owners, then he should grab a lawyer and file a lawsuit against the Rams ownership for violation of the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act).
Meanwhile in Dallas, Cowboys' Jerry Jones logged Bill Parcells on for two more seasons, which means my dreams of a Patriots/Cowboys Super Bowl are still alive.
In other NFL ponders, the league dumped their advertising relationship with Levitra. Levitra was Viagra’s competition, and was dumped because the makers of Levitra changed their advertising tactics. When their sponsorship began, the Levitra ads featured Mike Data in a tone down one-on-one fashion, but didn’t ring up sales to their liking. Instead they switched to ads with sexual overtones like the guy trying to throw the football through the tire in his backyard. Is this a good move by the NFL? Who cares because the deal only cost the NFL about $6 million per season, and I’m sure some other company can fill that void.
Next, I want to touch base on college football because this week Texas Longhorns QB Vince Young announced he was headed for the NFL draft this spring. Now I'm not going to knock this kid, because he did have one hell of a performance during his win over USC in last week’s Rose Bowl. However, there is no way he will be able to do that in the NFL. Linebackers are just too fast and the NFL is a different monster, and to be brutally honest, scrambling QB’s IMO are a dying breed that risk injuries, seasons and team revenue every time they try to rack up rushing yardage.
Finally... What is up with these "Stupid is as stupid does." players? How dumb can two people possibly be?
I’m talking about Ohio State’s former RB Maurice Clarett and Virginia Tech’s QB Marcus Vick. These are guys with a boatload of talent, but just don’t get it.
Clarett had his NFL chance, blew it, then months later he's turning himself in for robbery charges after the Fiesta Bowl. Now instead of keeping his mouth shut and waiting for his case to begin, he does a magazine interview with ESPN and spouts off about the special treatment he received while in college. If all of these accusations are true why spout about it now? I guess it’s a case of "If I’m going down, we’re all going down."
Then there’s Marcus Vick, brother of NFL QB Michael Vick. This guy has a track record that would make Tony Soprano envious. Wild parties, sex with minors, assaults, reckless driving and now gun charges. What a waste, and utter disgrace to the Afro American community.
These two guys got scholarships to college, and had a chance to write their own tickets to the NFL, but instead they chose to flush everything down the toilet while two other young students (any race) may have missed out.
Thanks a lot idiots.
