I am 100% fine with the #RedSox backing into the playoffs with a Houston loss this afternoon. Get that sweep, A’s.

Whenever I saw Wally, I’d give him crap for being from Woodstock, and he’d give me crap for being from Rutland. It was the best. He’ll be missed. www.centralmaine.com/2025/09/24/w...

I’m glad I stayed up for Jimmy’s monologue. Truth to power. #JimmyKimmel

Friendship Four fields for the next 3 seasons (after this one) - played around Thanksgiving time in Belfast: 2026 Connecticut, Providence, Minnesota Duluth, Colgate 2027 Northeastern, Quinnipiac, North Dakota, Wisconsin 2028 Notre Dame, Omaha, Dartmouth, Maine

The USCHO.com Division I men's hockey preseason poll is out. Here's how I voted, with a couple thoughts on the upcoming season. #collegehockey www.pressherald.com/2025/09/22/h...

I, for one, will miss the easy one-point rouge. #CFL

Six games left, and the playoffs are still very much up for grabs. This is fun, right? #RedSox www.pressherald.com/2025/09/20/b...

Hot take: You will never win a game in which you commit five turnovers. #Patriots

Fumblitis is contagious, apparently. #Patriots

Stevenson can never get on the field again. Unless he’s helping paint the lines or something. #Patriots

New prop bet: will the #Patriots have more penalties or points?

This NFL Today show is inspired. These guys all look like extras from Starsky and Hutch.

Fearless prediction: Steelers 23, #Patriots 20.

Lawrence took on Bangor Friday night. Hersom took on Hersom. My column: #mesports #VarsityMaine www.pressherald.com/2025/09/19/f...

"Crack My Spine Like a Whip" was exactly the right song I needed to hear to break out of a mini writer's block. Also, a second cup of coffee didn't hurt.

Weird right? He used to support the first amendment

"A republic, if you can keep it" -- Benjamin Franklin

I'm a single issue voter, and my issue is "the government shouldn't be fascist."

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

More and more, the Red Sox top prospects are in Portland less and less. My column on Boston's dedication to rapid movement through the minors for the top talent. www.pressherald.com/2025/09/15/i...

Do I watch “All the Presidents Men” or “The Natural” later today? Probably both.

First #Patriots win in Miami since the Antonio Brown game. I declare the Curse of Antonio Brown exorcised.

This game has gone plaid. #Patriots

Good start for the #Patriots today. Anyone wishing to tryout for the open kicker position please report to Gillette Stadium at 10 a.m. Monday.

Saturday night's home opener against Stonehill was a must-win for the University of Maine football team. The Black Bears lost. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/13/u...

Fearless prediction: Dolphins 24, #Patriots 23.

Last season, Greely won the eight-man Large School state title. This season, with growth in the program, the Rangers moved back to 11-man football. With Friday's win over a perennial powerhouse, Greely is showing it doesn't need a learning curve. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/12/b...

Our Dave Dyer with the story on Cody Laweryson's callup to the Majors. #mesports #Twins www.pressherald.com/2025/09/12/m...

Cody Laweryson of Moscow, Maine (population 475) is going to The Show. A pitcher, Laweryson is getting promoted to the Minnesota Twins for Friday’s game. #mesports

Christian Thomas considered leaving Maine via the transfer portal, but decided to stay. That choice is paying off. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/11/s...

There’s a chill in the air this morning… hockey is coming.

Students at the University of New England helped develop an app that will be a game fans can play while they watch football. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/09/u...

Connelly Early is getting the call to start for the #RedSox tonight against the A's. Here's a little something I wrote in June when Early was pitching for the @portlandseadogs.bsky.social in Double-A. www.pressherald.com/2025/06/05/e...

Fearless prediction: #Patriots 27, Raiders 20.

Here’s a question that was posed in the Portland Sea Dogs press box Saturday: who is the #RedSox best AAAA player, a guy who crushed the minors but struggled in the bigs? I said Sam Horn.

Lisbon hosted a football game Friday night, its first since shutting down the program midway through the 2024 season due to hazing. Unsurprisingly, they don't want to talk about it. Lisbon should move on, but shouldn't forget how it got here, either. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/05/l...

If reports of Bill Belichick banning Patriots scouts from UNC practices are true, then Belichick has taken petty to a new level. It's certainly a disservice to his Tar Heels to prevent any NFL team from doing its due diligence on potential players.

Tonight, a woman walked up to me in Maine, noted my @thetragicallyhip.bsky.social t-shirt, and told me she grew up in Kingston and went to school with the guys. So that was cool.

I contributed a story on eight-man football to our Varsity Maine fall previews. I looked at four small schools. Each has enjoyed different levels of success, but they have one thing in common. They likely wouldn't exist were in not for eight-man football. www.pressherald.com/2025/09/03/e...

Thursday Night Lights are becoming more common in Maine. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/02/t...

After I filed this column, the Red Sox lost a second consecutive game to the lowly Pirates. So maybe I was right in May after all. www.pressherald.com/2025/08/30/a...

Lee Corso is a national treasure.

The University of Maine football season kicks off this afternoon at Liberty. A rebuilt running attack will be a key to any success the Black Bears enjoy this season. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/08/29/r...

We’re on the third thunderstorm of the day here in central Maine. Let’s go for the record!

When I wrote that @portlandseadogs.bsky.social pitcher Payton Tolle was on the fast track to the majors, I didn't expect it to be just a month before he joined the @redsox.com. #RedSox www.pressherald.com/2025/07/29/s...

Houlton's Isaiah Ervin is the first player to come out of eight-man football to join the University of Maine football program. My column: #FCS #mesports www.pressherald.com/2025/08/28/h...
