Me: [drinks straight from OJ carton] Troy Aikman, appearing from behind the fridge door: That’s why he struggles, Joe, and it’s not getting better

I suspect you said it the same thing about the Commanders last season.

Personnel-wise, RB a key spot to assess/potentially act on with the quick turnaround to Thursday. The summary:

Patriots-Buccaneers review: Not only did Maye pass his biggest test yet against the Buccaneers — a road game, in unfavorable weather, against a relentless defense — but he changed the conversation. He must be, right now, the favorite for NFL Most Valuable Player. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/09/s...

If you're headed out to buy a digital antenna to watch 6abc tonight in Philadelphia, the station has some suggestions on the right products to get their signal. 6abc.com/post/televis...

Find something in life that makes you as happy as "Dicker Doinker" makes Cris Collinsworth.

Christian Gonzalez has really embraced New England/Boston. You love to see it

All it took was for me to stop writing every week that he was close to breaking one. 😂

The masses yearn for the Khyiris Tonga TD.

I want him to throw one like Dontari Poe did for the Chiefs a few years ago.

Tonga is going to catch a touchdown pass this season.

Kyle Williams's yard per catch this season went from 10.0 to 30.7 with that touchdown. (He has three catches.) 😀

Jonathan Taylor's last 13 games (with a few minutes still to go): 300 carries 1,732 rushing yards 20 rushing touchdowns

Update on YouTube TV/Disney dispute: - No deal yet, no sign of progress. - YouTube TV will issue a $20 credit to customers if ESPN, ABC, and other Disney networks aren't restored today. - Monday's Eagles-Packers game will also air on ABC, which is free using a digital antenna near most cities.

This is not true, clearly Kyle Pitts is actually the O.J. Howard of Irv Smiths.

I need a video with late 80s/early 90s weekday afternoon footage between 2pm-8pm on Channels 56, 38 and 25 in Boston

it is the highest praise of hakeem to say that him going first overall in '84 was fine actually

I used to work in the HIV community and he did what he said he was gonna do. He is revered. His poster was on the wall in the clinic. A clinician cried after meeting him.

Bill Belichick vs. Frank Reich now, only on the CW.

I just don't think Bryce Harper is the guy you get to do what you want by threatening him

Great note by @chadfinn.bsky.social here that Nantz and Drake Maye have the same agent. Thanks for the reminder of The Shot from 2017, too

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

[puts on media guy chapeau] So, NBC Sports Boston and the Celtics got it right with the Drew Carter hire. Enthusiastic and knows the game, good pipes, learns from mistakes, takes no crap from Scal, and was smart enough to realize no one could be Mike, so he just does his own thing.

Kind of liked it the in-season tournament when it started. Could not care any less now. It’s like the opposite of gaining traction.

oh god finally carnivorous death ball, take us away from all this

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby. The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

Remember being at the student newspaper office at UMaine when the news came across the wire. My face went numb. Couldn’t help but fear we were going to watch him suffer and die. Thirty-four years later, he’s still here, still living a mostly charmed life, still Magic. Science is amazing.

Some surprising early-season numbers for the Celtics as they open up the weekend baseball series tonight in Orlando...

“He has run the race. He has kept the faith, especially early on when the faith of others was in short supply. He arrives this weekend at the front door of the Hockey Hall of Fame, ready to savor the desserts of his career.” Good stuff from KPD here: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/07/s...

Sorry I’m late. I had to scroll to my birth year on an app.

the sandwich guy walking away from the court house and suddenly, his limp disappears

The jury deliberated for SEVEN hours on the sandwich case, and I will bet money six of them were just talking about different good kinds of sandwiches they’ve had and how they’d throw.

Me: Kids lemme tell ya of a tale long ago....1 of the most experienced college QBs of all-time played for the Broncos & they'd struggle every week before 4th quarter madness. Kids: Did the QB once perform medical procedures in the Philippines that broadcasts never went into specifics on? me: wow

With Giolito not getting the QO today, there has been an uptick in Sandoval talk. His lowest walk rate between 2021-2024 was 9.4%, with a 10.2% average over his last 460 IP. Here are the Red Sox starting pitching seasons with 100 IP and 10% BB% since 2000:

“The Celtics were a freak show on offense as well.” 😆 They sure were. Loved these hard-working OB teams, even though CyberToine was a little too empowered.
