The 15

I’m not even over Barbaro yet and now I’ve got to deal with Nick Chubb?

I’m always in a better mood on days that the National Football League plays game

Boston College visits 3-0 Louisville Saturday in ACC gridiron action!

Last week the Red Sox decided to play God and made Chaim Bloom their Moses: You can lead us through the desert, but you won’t be the one to take us to the Promised Land.

So Sergio Brown wasn’t found dead in a creek? That’s good, right?

Nothing is as reliably cringey as the NE Revolution social media posts.

Cakes are cooking for George R.R. Martin, John W. Henry, Gary Cole, Lesley Thompson, Nuno Bettencourt, Asia Argento, and John Tavares.

Would it be in poor taste to point out Chubb’s NFL career only lasted 1 game more than Sony Michel’s?

Bob Lobel’s legs look like they should be hanging in a Chinese meat shop.

Well I think it’s weird that the broadcast calls Deion Sanders “Coach Prime” and not Deion Sanders.

Robert Vernon Dalbec is still the Fruith.

Man, of all the awful ways to move off of the Patriots season ticket waitlist.

Red Line Reminder: Shuttle buses replace service between JFK/UMass and Braintree beginning at 8:45 PM on Friday, 9/22, through the end of service Sunday, 9/24, due to track and tie replacement work. Regular Commuter Rail service will run Friday night with shuttles over the weekend.

Winning Time deserves its cancellation after omitting Ray Flynn out of the Celtics locker room.

Still laughing at Lombardi saying please get up. Like asking if Kennedy was ok after seeing the Zapruder film.

The Browns are signing their own former RB Kareem Hunt, agreeing to terms with him on a 1-year deal worth up to $4M. After a multi-stop journey, he lands back home.

Somebody was collecting names for “just fun” players the other day. Rowdy Tellez is in that camp. Rowdy is the 2020’s version of Boog Powell. Boog had a better career, obviously, but you dye his hair orange and Rowdy could play Boog in a movie.

So is that Stapleton version of ‘In the Air Tonight’ available as a full song or what?

How can we always have last week’s supermarket flyer, and next week’s, but never this week’s? How is that possible?

Congrats on the employment!

Do Glen “Big Baby” Davis’ attorneys believe that Paul Pierce would have no need to be sworn in, as he is definitionally, ‘The Truth?’

Deshaun Watson isn’t cooked. He’s still in his refractory period.

Was the Pour House not a gay enough name?

Lunatic fringe.
I know you’re out there.
You’re in hiding, and you hold your meetings.
I can hear you coming.
I know what you’re after.
We’re wise to you this time, (wise to you this time)
We won’t let you kill the laughter,

Sorry, can’t call in to the hot take troll show. It’s raining.

Lit Filling the void in the Eastern States Exposition concert calendar caused by Puddle of Mudd abruptly cancelling their shows. Bravo, Lit.

Honk if you remember The Ship Restaurant in Lynnfield.

The best thing about replay in the NFL is how often it gets calls wrong.

Nothing positive can come from treating celebrity callers like regular people making arguments in good faith.

That’s right: I say autumnal.

Marchy with the C.

I wish Rip Taylor were still around so he could ring the Gillette Stadium lighthouse bell.

Lauren Boebert is no Alanis Morissette.

Why do bad things keep happening to Big Papi? Oh. Right.

Best bet for the weekend: For three hours, we are all Oregon Ducks fans.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Bill James, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. I have a picture pinned to my wall. An image of you and of me and we’re laughing, we’re loving it all.
