The 15

Glad to have had you on the ice for the Bruins, David Krejčí. You’ll be missed.

Red Sox still definitely in the wild card playoff hunt.

Porzingis’s foot caught the ol’ Hellenic Flu?

Sooo happy to see Damar Hamlin back on the field after the NFL bent to the Buffalo Bills wishes and cancelled a game and were a cvnt hair away from mandating neutral-site playoff games in perpetuity. Yayyyy!

I can’t believe the Gov. of Hawaii is named Josh Green. Any state can have a ‘Josh Green’. Hawaii should have a guy named like, ‘Governor Haunapukamana’lei’lei.’

Portnoy definitely bought Barstool for a dollar because he’s such a shrewd negotiator, and not just because Penn thought it was worthless.

A Cape League Championship Two-peat for your Bourne Braves!

Remember August 2020, watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs being played in the bubble in Toronto & Edmonton? What a time it was for us all.

News Item: Tom Brady becomes part owner of Birmingham City FC. Related, Boston Globe reporter Bob Hohler is on a plane en route to Birmingham Airport.

The Spanish Ladies do not wish to say farewell and adieu quite yet.

Cakes are cooking for John Howard, Reginald Veljohnson, James Cameron, Madonna, Christian Okoye, Steve Carell, Ed Olczyk, Ben Coates, Bonnie Bernstein, Taika Waititi, Vanessa Carlton, Evanna Lynch, and Young Thug.

Chipotle tastes ten times better with the Chipotle forks.

I wonder if the NHL set a record this summer for player weddings.

Tawm’s offensive identity is, of course, ‘jilted tuber.’

Wander Franco is going to be so vindicated when it’s revealed the gal had a Dominican birth certificate and she’s actually six months older than he is.

Mike Gesicki’s injury, is it a mild shoulder dislocation (glenohumeral) or is it a mild shoulder separation (AC joint)?

Hey gang of name not knowers, this Week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Just stop Pat you’ve been defeated.”

Keion White wearing #99 is obviously the best aesthetic of all the rookie numbers. Perfect fit. Mapu (#30), Douglas (#81), and Boutte (#80) are all good, too. But White is about to destroy some QBs in 99.

Also trying to pinpoint the exact date a genre of music was spawned seems very quantifiable.

I might be wrong about this, but isn’t Rhode Island considered a New England state? Yet they play in the LLWS Metro regional not the New England regional? Maybe I’ve been misinformed all these years?

Red Line Braintree Branch: Service will operate on a single track at Quincy Center on the northbound side. Personnel are addressing a disabled train at Quincy Center southbound. Expect delays of about 15 minutes. Trains may stand by at stations.

The Red Sox will not be wearing their City Connect uniforms on the road.

Why do I enjoy “Hot Ones,” the YouTube show in which celebrities try to conduct an interview while eating super-hot chicken wings? Watching Gal Gadot having to spit out one of the hotter sauces may have made my year. No one else makes agony look so good.

No one else hears music?

Hard to find another job as a barely educated, wrestling-obsessing, Chinese food eating, pedophile-looking, fist-posing, 40-something-year old cat fetishist, I guess. Who knew?

Not many tight ends have a real path to leading their team in targets. Darren Waller is one of them.

Why is everybody so down on the Cardinals? They’re not even the worst team in Missouri. . ..

When you’re rolling through a YouTube kids songs playlist and an ad pops up in the middle of a song, it’s like a drive-killing holding penalty. Wipes out all your momentum.

Zeke’s stay with the Patriots is already longer than Greg Bedard’s at the LVRJ.

Gonna have fun in the city.
Be with my girl, she’s so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is out of sight to me.
Tonight I’ll spend my bread, tonight
I’ll lose my head, tonight
I’ve got to get to night
Monday I’ll have Friday on my mind

You’re supposed to recycle the cardboard box the trash bags are packaged in you vapid bint.

Chipping sparrows!

Honk if you remember Dave Dravecky.

I missed the sales tax holiday? I guess I can replicate that by visiting the duty-free shop at Logan. Is the tunnel back open yet?

I wonder if the NHL set a record this summer for player weddings.

Serious, it’s like a small brass ensemble, repeating the same six or eight bars?

I do love a good Farmer’s Market. Gotta support those folks. They need it now more than ever.

A cat is only itself, representative of the strong forces of life that won’t let go.

Just found out Phil Coulter, who penned “The Town I Loved So Well,” also co-wrote “Saturday Night” by the Bay City Rollers. Mind officially blown. The things you hear on the Irish Hit Parade!

Best bet for the weekend: the temperate tundra of Lambeau Field.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Bill James, Charles Bukowski, BSMW poster Lebron, and the members of #the15 were used in this column.
