"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

"Keeping the foot in football."

Of note, with the Patriots' Marcus Jones coming off a franchise-record 167 punt return yards vs. Carolina, including an 87-yard score and 61-yarder to set up another TD. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

Good morning from Foxborough.

Waiting to see if the Patriots use their 'cat coverage' against the Panthers, my @985thesportshub.bsky.social notebook covers the cornerbacks. + Gonzalez and Davis! + Preparing for and adjusting to officiating. + Transferring 4th-down skills to every down. 985thesportshub.com/2025/09/27/s...

A lot of talk re Panthers “dirty kicks” these days. In 17 yrs in the NFL, special teams coach Tracy Smith has coached consistently good coverage units as an ex-assistant to ex-Patriots Brad Seely, Larry Izzo and Bill O’Brien. His dad, Carl Smith, coached for Pete Carroll in New England.

A Hall of Famer on the call. First, Herman Edwards with the Miracle in The Meadowlands. Now this, from Merrill.

@nh-gooner.bsky.social Happy game day! And match day! Good luck vs. City!

Here's today's notebook for @985thesportshub.bsky.social ahead of Sunday's matchup of the Patriots, who are coming off their first 30-point performance since 2022, and the Steelers, who've allowed 31 points in Weeks 1 & 2 for the first time under Mike Tomlin. 985thesportshub.com/2025/09/19/s...

September 15 is the annual Roberto Clemente Day in Major League Baseball. Commemorations of the Pittsburgh Pirates legend extend past the baseball world and well beyond Western Pennsylvania. Here are four Roberto Clemente murals in other parts of the Northeastern United States.

Game day at Miami.

Rain if not shine, Patriots and Raiders are ready(ing) to go.

Welcome to rainy Foxborough for the season opener on @985thesportshub.bsky.social!

Sweet dreams, on the eve of kickoff.

My column on the death of a great man. www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

The Patriots must handle the unknown & the most renown of Raiders in Week 1. When Josh McDaniels' offense last faced Patrick Graham's defense, the result forced a showdown w/ Mike Vrabel. How a football's laces helped alter the course of Pete Carroll's career. 985thesportshub.com/2025/09/05/s...

Few athletes were as accomplished in their sport and post-playing life than Ken Dryden. Hall of Famer. Ivy-educated lawyer. Author of an all-time great sports book. Commentator for the Miracle on Ice, his excellence no less memorable to me than his partner’s. Public servant. Educator. Executive. RIP

A new season. Mike Vrabel is a Patriot again. So is Josh McDaniels. At 74, Pete Carroll is starting over 25 years after he could have wondered 'what if' instead of asking himself what he had to do. And old pals ready to match wits. @985thesportshub.bsky.social 985thesportshub.com/2025/09/05/s...

Happy #NationalDogDay!

I think it might be time for West Ham to call the “Wonder Kid.”

Good morning from Minneapolis, where Patriots rookie TreyVeon Henderson is featured in the Vikings’ program. Kickoff at 1 ET on @985thesportshub.bsky.social.

The Patriots concluded two days of joint practices against the Vikings on Thursday with plenty to improve on in the days ahead. Here's today's training camp notebook. 985thesportshub.com/2025/08/14/p...

Mike Vrabel says the @patriots and @vikings will be practicing a lot of full-field situations today, with an emphasis on 2nd-&-long and 3rd-down. Thursday’s practice will be heavy on red-zone situations. ⁦‪@985TheSportsHub‬⁩

Congrats to the Green, and continued success to the team committed to sustainability!

For those of you guys who missed the story last month, here it is.

To an all-time great. On a rare night when the TV is all mine, I am a kid again, taken back to 1984, and Ryne Sandberg has just hit his 2nd game-tying HR off Bruce Sutter on NBC’s Game of the Week. RIP, Ryno. Few did it as well. None did it with more humility and class.

Coach speak. Mike Vrabel welcomes @celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla to to Wednesday’s Patriots practice.

They’ve been in pads for just one day. It’s still July, about six weeks before their Sept. 7 opener. But even with a such a long way to go, the @Patriots are practicing with a sense of urgency. Their coaches wouldn’t have it any other way. 985thesportshub.com/2025/07/29/s...
