The 15

Really, if you think about it, New England’s active pro sports teams are a combined 13-6. Not too shabby!

I hate whenever a Celtic tries a dunk after the whistle and probably always will. Being 10 ft from Tony Allen’s injury will do that to you.

How can Jones and Mego be in 15th place? Name 13 other radio stations.

Being a fired NFL head coach is the best job in the world.

An MRI confirmed the Vikings’ Pro Bowl QB Kirk Cousins tore his right Achilles and his 2023 season is over? That sucks. Comes across as a genuinely good person and is tougher than a $2 steak.

Karson and Kennedy or Karlson and Kennedy? Very confused. Sorry he died whoever he was.

Obvi, 84-win teams shouldn’t make the World Series.

Cakes are cooking for Kinky Friedman, Lyle Lovett, Fernando Valenzuela, Anthony Kiedis, Rick Allen, Kent Graham, Tie Domi, Erik Spoelstra, Jenny McCarthy, Aishwarya Rai, Coco Crisp, Natalia Tena, and Masahiro Tanaka.

When it’s 70 degrees in Boston on April 25, everybody wears t-shirts. When it’s 70 degrees on Oct. 25, down vests and quarter-zips.

Sigh. ‘Scissors’. ‘Quarters’. ‘Pharaoh’. We get it. You know all the terms.

I’ve got a bone to pick with Pringles. The inconsistency in the tall cans is getting out of control. Half the time they suck, half the time they’re incredible and remind you of the first can you ever had. They gotta figure it out. Anyway, I got Rangers winning this series in 6.

Wearing a hot dog suit around Joe Murray seems dangerous.

Hey gang of naval reservists! This week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Ahhhh do I uhhhh ahhh evah tell yah about The Rolling Stones in the Gahdennn?”

‘Trunk or Treat’ is a solution in search of a problem.

Spell check hates me too.

Red Line Braintree Branch: Southbound delays of about 10 minutes due to a disabled train taken out of service at JFK/UMass.

That trade for Harden? Clippers are going to be awesome 8 years ago! PTT!

Baseball is a sacred thing with me, the touchstone of my youth. In its pure form, its perfect, which is why I don’t approve of the DH, the shift, pitch clocks, stick’um, or comms gear on pitchers and catchers. If DiMaggio didn’t use it, I really don’t think it belongs in the game.

And a goal from the city kid…

IHOP puts pancakes on plates barely larger than the pancake, so any syrup you put on inevitably runs off the plate onto the table. This must be irritating many thousands of customers a day, but it’s been that way for decades and there is no sign they are going to figure it out.

There were three men came out of the West,
Their fortunes for to try.
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn must die.

They’ve ploughed, they’ve sown, they’ve harrowed him in,
Threw clods upon his head.
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn was dead.

Josh McDaniels? He lasted longer in Vegas than than Greg Bedard and he’s still getting paid.

We play hard around here.

That stupid Mike McDaniel watch story couldn’t be more tailored to impress the credulous NFL media had it been created in a lab.

Honk if you remember Honda opening their Marysville, Ohio factory.

Who gives out socks for Halloween?

A Nissan Rogue isn’t that bad for a rental. Just sayin’.

Matt Perry. Seemed to like sports, kept the quips moving along, once beat up a grade school-aged Justin Trudeau. RIP Ms. Chanandler Bong.

Football Cat with a 10-win, 5 loss weekend with the NFL picks.

UMass Football beat the USMA? Well, there’s a history of Minutemen defeating an Army.

Never vouch, Mookie.

Can the “Belichick is too focused on the win record to do what’s best for the team” people hear themselves?

Don’t bench Jimmy!

Best bet for the weekend: Amazing celebrity photograph opportunities at The RI Comic Con.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Bill James, Old Friend @SSkippington, and the members of #the15 were used in this column.

So much sportsing this time of year!

Bruins are a wagon. On ice. An Ice Wagon.

Anyone who unironically uses the term “green-teamer” should be sent to ADX Florence.

Congratulations to Craig Breslow on becoming the Head of Baseball Operations for the Boston Red Sox. Related, the Red Sox executive office Shabbos Goy has better job security than Matthew Slater.

Many people are dismissing the potential viewership of a Rangers/Diamondbacks World Series, but don’t discount the novelty of neither the Astros nor the Dodgers playing.

Was Bill Belichick padding the injury report to try and garner some sympathy and take the heat off??

Jon Smoltz called Game Seven a “must win” for the Astros. Okay.

From all indications, Bridgewater-Raynham and Chelmsford will not reach the 3-win criteria and thus not qualify for the D2 football playoffs. Betcha can’t wait to see Catholic Memorial playing host to Diman Voke

With Las Vegas winning the WNBA title, Aces minority owner Tom Brady can have his own boat called 8 Rings now.

Yo, @tntdrama & @SamsungTV , figure that app shit out. [This is why Roku >>>]

Taylor Swift didn’t have normal high school or college so she’s living out every awkward woo girl stage of her life in front of us.

CLNS has to be a money laundering scheme.

Fubo doesn’t have TBS but watching the Spanish broadcast of the NLCS has been great. I should start watching more sports in languages I don’t understand.

Hey gang of concerned netizens, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Nobody has ever overcome a rough childhood.”

These are the turnovers that kills drives and momentums. It’s bad enough to lose one momentum.

In and around the lake.
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there.
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you.
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing, too.
24 before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you.

PWH Roast Beef Review – Mark’s Pizza and Subs -10B Washington Street, Wellesley – Juicy, red beef that dominated the sandwich. Really good. Excellent onion rings with thick batter and extra points for the steak fries. Pucks with Haggs Beef rating: 8.0.

Sheets of double-glazing help to keep outside the night,
Only foreign city sirens can cut through.

Dusty don’t know panic.

Chris Buescher of Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing’s three NASCAR wins may not be enough to qualify for the Cup Series Playoffs without a good showing in Martinsville October 30th.

Recorded the game on a non-HD channel. It’s like watching it in 1999.

That’s right, here’s where the talkin’ ends.
Well listen this night there’ll be some action spent.
Drive hard I’m callin’ all the shots.
I got an ace card comin’ down on the rocks.

If you think I’ll sit around while you chip away my brain.
Listen I ain’t foolin’ and you’d better think again.
Out there is a fortune waitin’ to be had.
You think I’ll let it go? You’re mad.
You got another thing comin’.
You got another thing comin’.
You got another thing comin’.

Yarmouth Massachusetts, a noted hot spot for comedy in October.

Malik, get up!

Gorg weather. Fall in New England on pointe.

As Monday Night Football goes to break following the Jordan Addison touchdown, “Higher” by Creed is the outro music. Well played by the production team

Enjoy retirement Dusty Baker. And you too, Chris Russo, unless you’re a liar like Dan Lifshatz.

Physical Therapy is one of the biggest scams in the medical profession.

That Poitras lad seem to be fitting in just fine.

Just dawned on me that two-factor authentication would accomplish ZERO in the event that the person who’s trying to hack your accounts is doing it with your stolen phone.

Stollen, on the other hand is delicious, but not yet in-season.

Coach Scar. Player Vrabes. TOTG’s with the Pats. Congratulations.

Bill Simmons has been crying about the Dodgers being eliminated after a really good season. It’s happened like 10 times now. Maybe it’s not small sample or the format, maybe they built their team on a foundation of legendary chokers? Who could’ve foreseen Mookie and Kershaw gagging in the playoffs?!

Will massage help Deshaun Watson’s subscapularis strain? Just asking the question.

Honk if you remember Operation Urgent Fury.

News Item: Gene Steratore issued a mea culpa after admitting he got a call wrong on Sunday.

Worst Hall of Fame candidate on the ballot, Joe West or Cito Gaston?

Congrats to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s agent.

Mixing imperial and metric units of measure is how you crash spacecraft.

The Head of the Charles Regatta was as magical as ever.

No, I don’t think Cooper Flagg “seems like a good fit” with Duke. Why do you think that?

Best bet for the weekend: Mike McDaniel coaching from the shaded sideline of Hard Rock Stadium so he doesn’t get all sunburned.

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. It’s going to be scary!

The path to 5-5 for New England is right there, caller.

Boston Sports Journal is like a graveyard for once-overpaid scribes who don’t know they’re dead yet.

Which vacant position gets filled first, Sporting Director for the Revolution, or Red Sox General Manager?

How dare you take joy in the struggles of brash dickhead Deion Sanders!

Bruins aren’t playing until tomorrow night? Did they catch the old Boston & Albany train to Chicago, where they switched to the Union Pacific’s Overland Route to the Bay Area as a Centennial tribute?

I hope the money Katie won on Celebrity Jeopardy goes to help poor put-upon woman in sports Kayce.

If Velma from Scooby Doo played bass for the Ramones, she’d look like Karen Guregian.

What does a senior consultant do?

Suzanne Somers died? That can’t be. This must be some kind of wacky misunderstanding! RIP.

Cakes are cooking for Mike Ditka, Russ Giguere, Pam Dawber, Martina Navratilova, Thomas Hearns, Wynton Marsalis, Alex Cora, Yoenis Cespedes, Zac Efron, and Brittany Griner.

Kept undefeated Penn State under 70, UMass. That’s not bad.

Baseball needs another prominent knuckleballer again. Nothing like adding to the nerves of October baseball like wondering if the knuckler is gonna cooperate that night.

Four-cylinder Honda’s are going to get very pricey again.

The Dolphins released 2019 Patriots third-rounder Chase Winovich from the practice squad with an injury settlement.

Mail-order bagels?

The new Frasier is worth a watch. It is free to watch on YouTube for now.

Nothing better than being at a restaurant with a long wait and seeing people done with their meals just sitting at their tables talking.

Are there any pictures of Mike Giardi where he doesn’t look like a disinterested gay flight attendant?

Play the kids when they get back, whoever the Revs coach guy is!

Hey Hillside gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “The restless dead try to return to Twitter in October.”

Some news: The SF Giants formally interviewed assistant coach Alyssa Nakken for their managerial role, according to sources. She’s believed to be the first woman to become an official candidate for an MLB club’s top uniformed job.

Chipotle please get better people to roll the burritos. Start a college for it or something lol kidding. But this one hurt my soul.

The snow and the throwbacks made for a really beautiful combination in that Pats win over the Titans fourteen years ago on this date.

Who’s trippin’ down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees?
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it’s Windy.

And Windy has stormy eyes.
That flash at the sound of lies.
And Windy has wings to fly,
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds.)

Honk if you know what to do when you get to the Slauson Cutoff.

Mahomes and Kelce are mesmerizing.

Who do you think is going to play Aidan in the movie? Chris Evans? Chris Pine? Rhys Ifans? Tilda Swinton?? Let us know in the comments!

What do you mean, “what movie, you demented psychopath?”

Alex Verdugo is Boston’s lone Gold Glove nominee.

I hope the Newscenter 5 Eyeopener Team all know they are still beautiful inside and out.

Mac is going to get every Pats offensive skill player injured.

I’m not a Texas fan or rooting for them, but I’m just thrilled with the post-season success of Jordan Montgomery. People are SO convinced that you have to throw 100 in order to get people out now. You can’t overstate the value of one pitcher who proves that that isn’t true.

I think the football did brush up against Devante Parker’s fingertips. After it bounced off his palms.

Sharon Alfonsi’s teeth look very real.

Abby has multiple jobs. Dickerson has no job.

No TB12 store?

Haha, yes. Bob Lobel’s funny little catchphrase. Haha.

Diamondbacks vs Rangers should bring the ratings bonanza.

Best bet for the weekend: for a few hours, we will all be Nittany Lions.
