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.
Give me an effin' break, it's professional sports people... Get over it, and enjoy what we've got.
Alrighty mighty...
It's that time of the season again where I assault you with my annual top 10 list of things to do during the bye week. For those who are unfamiliar with this annual event, this is something I started writing many years ago during the Patriots bye week. Some of the things are personal to me, some are not, some on the list are new, while some of them move up, and some move down, or completely off the list. So without further ado, sit back, pull up a chair, and warm up your funny bone...
10) Carmen and Camille's Video Shoot: Did I ever tell you about these two Canadian rockers who are twin sisters, blonde and extremely hot? Well, some people may get lucky enough to be in their video shoot for DVD/MTV concert footage/video this past weekend, and some of those people may have been yours truly. If you want to see these ladies and hear their music during the bye week check out their website at Carmen & Camille.com, and make sure to vote for them in MTV's Battle of the Bands.
9) Seek out and Find Religion: Head to church, and confess all of those sins, and impure thoughts you've committed while attending and/or watching football games over the past 13 weeks (bye weeks count).
PS: Don't forget to confess the things you did after looking over Kim Kardashian's Playboy pictorial... You know who you are.
8) Get in Touch With Your Sensitive Side: Spend time with your wifey/girlfriend/significant other doing the things they like... renting movies, watching Lifetime or the Oxygen network. For bonus points, take a trip to the Christmas Tree Shops or Bed and Bath.
7) TIVO, TIVO, TIVO: Between the two Tivo's in my house I have run up over 70-plus hours of hard drive space like bad credit. Thanks to the recent writers' strike I will be able to clear some of my shows off.
6) Change of Scenery: Betting against the Detroit Lions this season has put you so deep in the red with the local bookies, you decide to turn rat and enlist the entire family into the Federal Witness Protection Program.
5) Be a Parent(s) to Your Child/Children: Reintroduce yourself to the kid(s) as the parent(s) they knew before week one. This way they can forget all about the terrorizing lunatic who has been screaming obscenities at the TV for the past nine weekends.
4) Git 'R Done: Run out, grab a Nextel phone, some chewin' tobacca', Coors beer, a Confederate flag, and practice your best south of the border southern drawl so you can spend the weekend as a NASCAR fan watching drivers make four left turns. Remember... It's "Chase for the Cup" time, so try not to disrespect anyone by rooting for someone who is out of the standings. If you're from Boston make sure to root for driver Carl Edwards who is ranked fifth and driving for the Roush Fenway team. A few DNF's to the top four over the next few weeks could bring a Cup Championship home to Beantown. (Well, not really. There's only one more race in the season, but still it's fun to watch once in a while.)
3) Tailgate at Home: Go to you kid(s) pee wee championship game in grease paint, armed with air horns and noisemakers. Break out the grill, cook hamburgers and hot dogs while getting a massive sugar high drinking gallons of Teenie Weenie juices, and talking about the upcoming new Spongebob TV movie "Atlantis Squarepantis".
2.5) Cash in Your Frequent Flyer Mileage: Turn in your rewards and spend time with your illegitimate children from East to West. (Note: This one may pertain to some pro football players.)
2) Cash in Your Frequent Flyer Mileage: Actress or Supermodel? Supermodel or Actress? My guess... Go back; read number 2.5 again, and do what that says.
1) Kick ASSterik: Go to Shula's 347 Grill in RI, and protest the weight of his "Shula Cut Steaks" by putting an * in every menu with a bright red Sharpie.
Shameless Self Plug: If none of the above catches your attention, then you can always go listen to the podcasts of "On the Mark Show" and/or "Krashing into the Bigfield". featuring yours truly...
"I'm such a whore."
