At the moment, seems smart money would be on an NBA Finals of Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks, and a Stanley Cup Final of Colorado Avalanche vs Carolina Hurricanes. Will all four teams get there? #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #OKCThunder #Knicks #Avs #Canes

Guessing AJ Dybansta would love to play for his hometown team, the Boston Celtics. Guessing Celtics fans would love that too. Figure out a way to make it happen! #NBADraft #AJDybansta #BYU #Boston #Celtics

They only #Celtics players to average at least a point per minute in franchise history are: ☘️ Dwight Powell (9 points in 9 minutes) ☘️ Coty Clarke (6 points in 6 minutes) 13 players in NBA history averaged at least a point per minute, but only Clarke played at least 5 minutes.

Kayshon Boutte & DeMario Douglas were both drafted by the #Patriots in the Bill Belichick Era; so would it be a surprise if New England moved them? Potential Patriots wide receivers room: • AJ Brown (Eagles) • Romeo Doubs • Stefon Diggs (Free Agent) • Mack Hollins • Kyle Williams • Efton Chism III

First NFL Player to Record X Number of Seasons with 100 or More Receptions — 1 - Lionel Taylor 2 - Sterling Sharpe 3 - Jerry Rice 4 - Jerry Rice 5 - Wes Welker 6 - Brandon Marshall

May 23, 1982 was 16,049 days ago. The No. 1 TV show in the US was 60 Minutes. The top box office movie was Conan the Barbarian. Ebony and Ivory by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney was the No. 1 song. It was also the last time the 76ers eliminated the Celtics in the NBA Playoffs. #Celtics #Sixers

I am not surprised by national media, or even local media coming down hard on the Boston Celtics, even though their series against the 76ers is not over yet. However, I'm surprised by how many fans I have heard from with ridiculous opinions about the #Celtics. #DifferentHere

In Game 4 of their first round Stanley Cup Playoffs series, the #Bruins trail the #Sabres 4-0. Shockingly, it's even more lopsided than the score. Buffalo leads in shots 19-5. Awful, unacceptable effort by the Bruins so far in what felt like a must-win game for Boston. #BUFvsBOS

The big winner of the Boston Red Sox firing Alex Cora: Mike Vrabel.

Boston Red Sox are naming Worcester Red Sox manager Chad Tracy as interim manager to replace Alex Cora. The 45-year old had a 7-year MLB career. He's been Worcester's manager since 2022, so is familiar with Boston's homegrown prospects. #AlexCora #ChadTracy #RedSox #WooSox

Even if the Boston Red Sox wanted to fire Alex Cora and several members of his staff, why do it immediately following a 17-1 victory? There was finally something for Red Sox fans to feel good about. The timing makes it feel like there must be something more to the story. #RedSox

One 7-round mock draft for the New England Patriots for the 2026 NFL Draft. Made one trade to move up in Round 2 and lower the total number of picks. Thoughts? — #Patriots #PatsNation #PatsDraft #NEPats #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #MockDraft

Happy NFL Draft Day to all who celebrate. This is my one and only Round 1 mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft. — #NFL #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #MockDraft #NFLMockDraft

I make my personal live picks for every Patriots' NFL Draft pick every year. There are 5 players on the current Patriots roster we both chose: 🏈 Christian Barmore (2021) 🏈 Marcus Jones (2022) 🏈 Christian Gonzalez (2023) 🏈 Drake Maye (2024) 🏈 Jared Wilson (2025) #NFLDraft #Patriots

Realistic look at what a 7-round mock for the New England Patriots 2026 NFL Draft could look like if they keep all of their picks. #Patriots #PatsNation #PatsDraft #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026

Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference quarterfinals: Boston Celtics - 123 Philadelphia 76ers - 91 Road to Banner 19: 1 Down: 🔔 15 to Go: 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏆 — #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #Celtics #Banner19 #DifferentHere

I always root for Marcus Smart but never root for the Lakers.

No team has won an NBA Championship without being among the 4 favorites (Vegas odds) when the NBA Playoffs began that season since the 2011 #Mavericks. This should come as encouraging news to the 4 favorites to win the 2026 NBA Finals: the #Thunder, #Spurs, #Celtics & #Nuggets.

The Boston Celtics have won 83 games in the NBA playoffs since drafting Jaylen Brown in 2016. The Philadelphia 76ers have won 83 games in the NBA playoffs since Dr J, Julius Erving retired in 1987. #Celtics #76ers #NBAPlayoffs #JaylenBrown #DrJ

In the history of the NBA, only 3 people have won 55 or more games in each of their first 4 seasons as a head coach: • Phil Jackson, Chicago Bulls • Steve Kerr, Golden State Warriors • Joe Mazzulla, Boston Celtics #DifferentHere #Celtics #JoeMazzulla #PhilJackson #SteveKerr

Most important role during the regular season for a staff ace is to stop the bleeding when his team is struggling. Very important for Garrett Crochet to do that for the Red Sox today. He was awesome in his first start (6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 8 K). They desperately need another. #RedSox

Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team has scored 473 points in the NCAA Tournament (94.6 ppg). They need 98 on Monday to tie the record set by the 1990 #UNLV Runnin' Rebels. Scoring 80 will give #Michigan sole possession of second place. #GoBlue #RunninRebels #MarchMadness

Feels like just yesterday my in-laws in Central Maine were telling me that I had to look into an 8th grader from nearby Newport named Cooper Flagg. I tried to explain that being dominant in Maine will not necessarily translate into being an NBA prospect or an elite college player.

I used PFF Mock Draft Simulator to try and make the best possible draft class for the New England Patriots that would make as few fans as possible happy. Pretty sure I nailed it. Not sure why PFF only gave it a C+. — #Patriots #NFLDraft #PFF

This ⬇️ (Dan Kelley Sports) is what I've been working on/towards for a while. Without current full-time employment in the sports field, I opted to hire myself. Accounts are now on most social media platforms with a website and podcast coming soon. Follow along: @dankelleysports.bsky.social.

Based on Tommy DeVito agreeing to a deal to stay in New England this offseason, the release of Joshua Dobbs is not altogether unexpected. Drake Maye maintains a veteran backup in DeVito, with the #Patriots now real players to add a QB in the NFL Draft, such as #LSU's Garrett Nussmeier.

Former Celtics teammates Kyrie Irving (34) and Gordon Hayward (36) both celebrate birthdays today. Despite the excitement at this 2017 press conference, they'd only play 69 games together, going 34-26 in the regular season and 5-4 in the playoffs. #nba #boston #celtics #differenthere

Top 10 scorers in the history of the Boston Celtics ☘️

Plenty of players in NBA history have tried to score as many points as possible in a game. Many have gotten assistance from coaches and teammates to achieve this. Only once has a player scored more than Bam Adebayo's 83 points. It's impressive even if you don't want it to be.

Garrett Bradbury not returning to the #Patriots is not a surprise (to me). New England gets a 5th round pick from the #Bears. Will the Patriots move Jared Wilson (or Will Campbell) to center? Try to sign #Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency? Look towards the NFL Draft?

I will be at tonight #Celtics game. Jayson Tatum will get a huge ovation. I'll also be giving a standing ovation to all other Boston players and to #Mavs rookie (and #Maine native) Cooper Flagg.

Most seasons for an #NBA guard averaging at least 1.0 blocks per game: 4 - Dwyane Wade, Heat 3 - Michael Jordan, Bulls 3 - Reggie Lewis, Celtics 3 - Derrick White, Celtics 2 - Eight Players Tied

Reminder: Jared Wilson just finished his rookie year for the #Patriots. He started 17 games, including the Super Bowl. Of his 1048 offensive snaps, 1047 were at left guard. In Wilson's 4 years at #UGA he played 1014 offensive snaps: 10 at LG, 83 at RG & 921 at center. #NEPats

People should judge Will Campbell by how he played before his injury. He likely rushed back to join the Patriots for the playoffs. He is the youngest offensive lineman to ever start a postseason game for the Pats. I didn't love the pick but he was fine before he got hurt. #NEPats

Derrick White's ranks among NBA guards since being traded to the Boston Celtics: 1st - Wins 1st - Blocks 2nd - Plus/Minus 4th - Rebounds 10th - Points 14th - Assists 16th - Steals

My first official Round 1 mock for the 2026 NFL Draft. Obviously there is still 2+ months to go between now and the draft (not to mention the NFL Scouting Combine, Pro Days, Top 30 visits) so expect changes, but this feels like a solid starting point. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026

Congratulations to the New England Patriots on bouncing back from some non-competitive seasons to become AFC Champions. It was a fun season. Thanks! Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on winning Super Bowl 60. Very worthy champions. The best team raises the Lombardi Trophy.

I don't understand why we couldn't just use proper grammar and say: "We're all we got. We're all we need." #NEPats  #Patriots #WeAllWeGotWeAllWeNeed

Distractions lose Super Bowls. Do any of these count? • #Patriots Bill Belichick & Robert Kraft both snubbed by Pro Football Hall of Fame • Seattle OC Klint Kubiak agrees to be #Raiders HC & will poach some assistants to follow him • #Seahawks are suddenly for sale

It's incredibly obvious at this point that there is an anti-Patriots bias in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They dominated the NFL for two decades, and those 6 Super Bowl winning teams have a combined 3 representatives in Canton, with 1 best remembered as playing for the Jets.

Hey Tom Brady, how many more days until the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks play in Super Bowl 60?

In 2024, virtually no #Patriots exceeded expectations. Maybe 5 total? This season there are so many Pats exceeding my expectations at least. From Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs, to K'Lavon Chaisson, Cory Durden, Craig Woodson etc. Players and coaches deserve tons of credit. #NEPats

Only Kayshon Boutte days until Super Bowl 60!!! #NEPats  #Patriots #SBLX  #SuperBowl  #SuperBowlLX

Super Bowl 60 on Feb. 8, 2026 Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots Should be fun! --- #Seahawks | #Patriots | #SBLX | #SuperBowlLX

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their NFC Championship. Sets up a rematch of Super Bowl 49 against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. The original matchup is responsible for my favorite play in NFL history; hopefully the sequel provides similar excitement.

The New England Patriots are headed to Super Bowl 60. If I had to choose one person I'm happiest for, I'd probably pick me.
