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.

Boston sits on top of the sports world.

The ?80s are back in a big way, from hairstyles, to fashion, to band reunions from Motley Crue to Duran Duran. Now there is one more 80's revival that has been brought back in Boston...

Beantown is back! Back on top of the sports world!

There hasn't been a time like this since the Red Sox went to the World Series in 1986 against the NY Mets, or the Patriots went to the Super Bowl in 1985 against the Chicago Bears, or the Celtics took three NBA titles in the ?80s -- 1981 and 1986 over the Houston Rockets and 1984 over the LA Lakers. The Celtics also had two title losses to the Lakers in 1985 and 1987.

As for the Bruins they spent most of the ?80s in the Adams Division playoffs, and fell shy of the Stanley Cup losing in 1988 to the Edmonton Oilers.

Now it's 2004, the Patriots are two time Super Bowl champions and haven't lost a game in over a year with 20 wins in a row. And last night, the Red Sox got two of the three monkeys off their backs by reversing the curse and knocking the Yankees out of the ALCS in historic fashion, sending Red Sox fans to the streets in celebration.

A celebration that did get out of hand at times with several cars and trucks getting flipped over, some small fires started, windows being smashed, people dancing on roofs of MBTA buses. In addition, while FOX 25 broadcasted a live feed from Kenmore Square, a fight broke out between two young women duking it out in the street like some PPV fight, then a boyfriend, brother or whatever joined in and began kicking one of the young women as she was getting the squat beat out of her.

Boston Police claim only eight arrests were made, but if this is the shades of things to come then security will have to be beefed up for the World Series.

Thursday afternoon, calm was restored as fans camped outside of Fenway to purchase tickets and for the next two days Boston will sit in the calm eye of an impending sports media storm. This weekend the nation's eyes will be focused on Boston for the entire weekend beginning Saturday night with Game 1 of the World Series at Fenway Park.

Who will the Sox face?

That will be decided tonight as the Houston Astros square off in a Game 7 confrontation against the St. Louis Cardinals. Either victor will bring plenty of drama to the Boston area, as the Red Sox lost to the St Louis Cardinals in the 1946 World Series.

But for me, I think seeing a Houston Astros match-up would butter my muffin (pffft... Mari). Just the thought of Roger Clemens and Jeff Bagwell returning home to spoil Boston?s chances makes it more suspenseful.

Sunday will be like a one-two knockout punch as the undefeated New York Jets come to Gillette to face the undefeated New England Patriots. This year the Jets have a healthy QB Chad Pennington, while RB Curtis Martin's ankles are doing just fine this season amassing over 600 yards of real estate in the past five weeks. Some people like me realize that the Jets haven't beat anybody over .500 this year, but they could still be a dangerous team, and I'm sure head coach Bill Belichick will have the troops ready come game time at 4 p.m. so they won't fall victim to the "trap."

The Pats? game should end between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. giving some diehard sports fanatics plenty of time to zip down Route 1 and up Route 93 into Boston where they may be able to get a scalper to sell them a ticket for about $500 to $1,000 for the Red Sox game.. If they can't get into Fenway, then they may just pull up a stool next door in the Cask and Flagon, and down their poison watching the game on television while being able to hear the fans and announcers from the stadium about 15 yards away.

So, needless to say, this writer's weekend is on lock as I will be at the "Razor" watching the Jets-Pats battle first hand, and then that night I will be heading home to catch the game in all of it's high def glory on the big screen, unless someone wants to sell me some tickets at face value...

Anybody... Anyone?

If I get desperate, I may just head into town, so if you're looking to sell,I'll be the guy on the corner of Yawkey Way with a sign around his neck reading...

"Needs one, just one... Only one! Will write for tickets..."
