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.
The Pats drop a game under the stars in Gillette to the Denver Broncos, who once again seem to have gotten under Tom Brady's skin in the 17-7 loss.
Once again, in less than a year's time, the New England Patriots lose in a game against the Denver Broncos they should have won. A game that was on home turf, a game where the stars and fans were aligned in their favor.
Yet, the Patriots, once again, give the game away, despite a great effort on part of the defense in keeping the game close for four quarters.
However, the story doesn't end there, as the officiating played another crucial role in this loss, especially in the third quarter where, I'm sure, fans in Denver had to be scratching their heads.
So, let's not waste any time and get into this subject of QB Tom Brady being depressed about not having WR Deion Branch to throw to anymore...
"Hey Tom... It's time to quit Deion and move on... This is the NFL, you need to suck it up, and complete passes."
On Sunday night, Brady threw 31 of 55 for 320 yards with no interceptions, which to most sounds impressive, but I was there with the masses and Tom Brady was "shook."
But let's not put the blame all on Tom either. This team took a gamble on a greedy wideout, who IMO, was hoping the play of WR Chad Jackson during preseason would put pressure on Branch to shut up and play. However, Jackson simmered on the injury report week after week helping Branch push his issue to a head.
Now that Chad is here, it seems he may be this generation's Terry Glenn. He may just be the next candidate for my "suck it up rant." Jackson showed promise for this team against the Jets, and this week he showed nothing as a matter of fact he wasn't even active.
And what is going on with TE Benjamin Watson (5 for 54)? Week 1 and last weekend he dropped key passes that would have been a sure six points, but for some reason he has a case of the dropsies when he's wide open. He can make all the acrobatic, tight coverage receptions he wants, but when you start dropping open field passes with no coverage your stock tends to drop.
Which is something Brady doesn't need when he's has to count on Troy Brown (4 for 41) to be his number one receiver.
And please hold the applause for WR Doug Gabriel (6 for 65) who seemed to be a savior for a receiving corps. By the time he made an impact the Broncos were well ahead, and very much in control of the game, with a secondary that was playing off the receiver to let the clock tick away knowing the Pats needed two possessions to win the game.
Which now brings me to the running game… A game that had been a monster the last two weeks came to an end when RB Corey Dillon (5 for 16) left the game with an arm injury, forcing Laurence Maroney (12 for 18) to take the bulk of the carries looking like a rookie because at times he seemed hesitant to hit the holes. I must give him credit whereas he was more of a threat when receiving (5 for 61).
The defense played a tough game, and you have to expect the fact that they can't always make plays on days when the offense isn't putting the ball in the end zone. However, you can't let the defense entirely off the hook. This Pats defense can lay teams out, but they have some flaws, and that is giving up the big plays on third down week after week, not forcing as many turnovers (despite Saturday's refs), and not pressuring the QB again. I don't think Jake Plummer's back saw the grass once.
As for the weak link in this chain... Special teams! Two weeks in a row, the special teams allowed their opposition to block a crucial FG attempts. This is something that needs to be addressed.
Now it's time for me to move on to the refs for this game...
Is it me or is there some hatred against the Patriots by the referee association? How do the Broncos get the breaks when they are almost 3,000 miles away from home?
Despite the poor offense, the third quarter of Sunday nights game had the feel of "us against the world" when the referees seemed to single-handedly change the momentum of the game.
The Pats had all out pressure on RB Tatum Bell on a first and ten on the Broncos three yard line late in the game, when Bell, in trying to avoid the surging D, clearly stepped back into his own end zone when he was tackled for, what should have been, a safety. But, it was ruled forward progress that was capped off with a generous spot for a one-yard gain.
Then there was the Denver play that was ruled an incomplete pass when the player clearly turned and made a football move before he was hit and fumbled the ball away into the Pats possession.
There were other, but the game is done, and you can't cry over spilt milk when someone left the container hanging off the rack to begin with.
Next week the Pats have the Bengals on tap, and this was a game that I predicted they would lose,. After their win over the Steelers, my thoughts have not changed, unless Tom Brady does some serious looking in the mirror.
