The 15

Was the Bills AFCCG loss karma for playing to lose in Week 18? I’m just asking the question!

You can either score only two goals, or give up two hat tricks, but not both, Bruins.

It’s so refreshing that coaches are leaving established positions to join Vrabel. Meanwhile Mayo was dumpster diving for coordinators.

I actually think Ted Johnson will help WEEI finally beat Felger and Mazz. He just needs to marry them first.

Chasing points in the first half is like teaching suicide pilots how to land.

Liam Coen has British comedy troupe physiognomy. ‘Whose O-Line is It Anyway?’

The only rating Fitzy will draw is with a magic marker and an easel when he transitions to prop comedy.

And one more: The Afternoon Show has three hosts and they’re still short staffed!

Cakes are cooking for Claudine Longet, Donna Caponi, Tom Selleck, Marc Singer, Ann Jillian, Max Carl, Louie F. Pérez, Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Irlene Mandrell, Judy Norton-Taylor, Greg Louganis, Steve Sax, Andre Reed, Dominik Hasek, Sean Burke, Edward Burns, Heather Graham, Jason Schmidt, Sara Gilbert, Jason James Richter, Adam Lambert, and Marc Gasol.

Has anyone tried unplugging the Bruins and plugging them back in…

Credit to ‘Tommy Freezepops’ for actually internalizing the ‘eat a salad once in a while’ insult. Some fellas at 98.5 FM should take notes.

Flagg has so many zits.

Hey, he’s John Havlicek’s grandson. That’s why. Johnny Havlicek, HS Jr. LHP in Jupiter, Fla., P in an exhibition in Tampa this weekend, fanned 4 of 1st 5 H he faced and is a kid to watch for college or draft next spring.

NFL Pro Bowl QB Drake Maye.

Green Line: Delays of about 10 minutes due to a signal problem at Park Street. Trains may stand by at stations.

The Super Bowl Is Gonna Be So Non-Bussin, only Louisa Day Hicks would approve.

Happy Lunar New Year, to those who celebrate.

Hey gang of sofa scouts and couch coordinators! This week’s Phrase that pays is, “no IDEA why Josh did not throw the orbit to Shakir.”

Mi papá odia tanto a Doris Burke que ve el partido de los Warriors en español.

I have zero confirmation of Doug Marrone to the Patriots. Due to my Syracuse ties I do have solid knowledge of him, but I’ll wait to confirm. No known ties to Mike Vrabel or Josh McDaniels

In the silver linings department, saving the Ninth Ward from an invasion of the two least housebroken fan bases is probably a good thing.

Jimmy Stewart has the body type you tell your kids not to stare at.

Sorry to lose you, Alyssa Thomas. Hopefully Phoenix knows the proper billing order is ‘WNBA Practice’, then ‘Toddler’s Birthday Party’.

You see it all around you.
Good lovin’ gone bad.
And usually it’s too late when you,
Realize what you had.

And my mind goes back to a girl I met,
Some years ago who told me:

Just hold on loosely, but don’t let go.
If you cling too tightly, you’re gonna lose control.
Your baby needs someone to believe in.
And a whole lot of space to breathe in.

Again, there’s nothing more rewarding in life than rooting for a second-generation professional athlete.

Why no Sun Chips, Market Basket?

North Carolina is converting Kenan Stadium back to natural grass under Bill Belichick, the school announced.

Honk if you remember the Celtics playing the Pistons before a then-record NBA crowd of 61,983 at the Pontiac Silverdome.

I know the time difference prevents the Australian Open from being a bigger story in the United States, but Madison Keys winning the 2025 women’s title deserves some love.

A week off was probably what Derrick White needed.

imagine telling someone in 1998 that Snoop Dog and Peyton Manning would have the same career arc.

‘Riley Larkin’ is an autogenerated 21st century white QB name.

First time I haven’t tied up my sky pencil holly to support snow load. Now, we haven’t had a ton nor the heavy wet stuff but they are managing. One downside of tying them i find they may get diseased easier from experience. Not positive though.

Did you feel the earthquake? Let us know in the comments.

Minor Cardinals transaction yesterday: they released RHP Victor Santos, who was half of the return for Tyler O’Neill. The other piece, Nick Robertson, did not make it through the season in the org last summer.

You can throw out the standings when UMass meets URI in a classic A-10 matchup. But the team with the better record is probably favored to win.

I grew into a lug nut allergy. Tragic.

I’m sure Jimmy Butler won’t be a piece of shit on his next team.

Best bet for the weekend: Boston Fleet return to their winning ways vs the NY Sirens. Epic! Homeric!
