Note: Patrick Scartelli is taking National #LazyDay off. Guest writer Mr. J has submitted a column in his absence. Enjoy!

A fine inclement weather snack.

Mountain Dew is amazing.

If you haven’t heard Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus yet- what are you doing with your life?

RIP Bobby Bowden. Never been the biggest college football fan but I know he was a #Legend.

Rainy days are good for salted pretzels.

Two things for certain you should know about me:

  1. I’ll never own an iPhone.
  2. I’ll never get a TikTok.

From how much #Buzz the Home Run Derby and the #MLB All Star Game received, I’d say it’s safe to say baseball is back. Young people are interested as well as older folks. Felger is so wrong.

The pizza industry has to be a trillion dollar plus industry.

Rick Ross has poisoned the minds of many individuals along his way but I love him as a rapper. Also happy he lost some weight and got his health in order.

The #Patriots will have a top 5 defense this upcoming season. Mark my words. #NFL

Here’s a fun fact for you. The koozie was invented and patented in 1981 by Bonnie McGough. It’s been making our lives better ever since.

If Giannis develops a jumpshot- he’ll be better than Jordan or LeBron. #NBA

Actually making tacos on a #TacoTuesday for once tonight.

Sure, I’ve got some skills but I’d say one of my most underrated is my DJ abilities. When I’m rolling- I sure know how to spin them up man.

Spaghetti straps are back in style and I’m a fan of that.

Sucks when you can’t buy a football because there’s no one to play catch with.

Been listening to a fair amount of Rock 101 out of New Hampshire lately and the songs have been kick ass.

Bradley Cooper is a dink in Wedding Crashers.

Tuukka Rask (Boston Bruins starting goaltender) only made 7 million dollars last season. Hockey players are wayy underpaid. Sure, 7 mil is nothing to sneeze at for you and I but if I was a starting goaltender I’d want at least double digits, baby.

Carmen Electra is still sexy for her age.

Subway hasn’t seen any of my money in quite a while and even with their recent endorsements that won’t change. I’d only buy it in a pinch. I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way for one.

#TwitterAfterMidnight The freaks come out at night, babe.

Warm weather means more potato and macaroni salad and I’m down with that.

“What if time doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do?”

You know you’ve made it on Twitter when people make burner accounts just to follow you.

Ariana Grande is a bad bitch man. Listen to “7 Rings” and tell me different.

Bill Belichick wanting to be loyal to Cam Newton is cute and all but we all know Mac Jones will finish the season as starter. It’s just all a matter of when and where.

Weekend mornings are for cooking shows.

Alex Cora is proof people are worthy of second, third, and fourth chances. He’s such a good man even tho he cheated. I wish the best for him and the Boston Red Sox. #RedSox #MLB

There’s things that we’ll never know and I’m kinda glad about that.

Ms. Electra. Possibly a pseudonym.

Friend of #The15 Mr. J resides in the Merrimack Valley.

Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin of Taiwan (Photo Credits: Taiwan)

It’s August. Do YOU know where Dont’a Hightower’s retirement papers are?

You can’t win a chip without getting into the yoffs.

Aaron Rodgers being painted as the good guy in any way is psychotic. In sports!

I’m not comfortable with saying Kris Dunn is coming home. He’s from Connecticut for chrissakes.

Canada soccer to USWNT: Sorrey!

Maybe Brad Stevens phone has a bad connecton? That’s a thing that still happens in 2021, right?

Katie Nolan is depressed? Hope the Sports Junk Drawer from a few weeks ago wasn’t too hard on her.

Deleting a tweet is a sign of guilt, Ben Volin, like DESTROYING A CELL PHONE.

So long 46. The Bruins loss is Krejcislovakia’s gain.

Cakes are cooking for Mary Decker Slaney, Dennis Lehane, Eddie Cade, Kurt Busch, and Cole & Dylan Sprouse.

Tracy Sormanti has been selected for induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame as a contributor? But what about Lisa Coles? She brought legitimacy to the Patriots Cheerleader organization!!

Smart of the Red Sox to get the four game losing streak out of the way now, rather than later. Bad as it is now, losing four in a row is much worse in the yoffs.

Buffalo Bills to become the Mexico City Guillermos? ¡Aye caramba!

Gn’R savied Paradise City for last so concert goers couldn’t Denny Drinkwater it.

I’m not one to engage in hyperbole, but the award Simone Biles took in the balance beam final is the most important bronze medal ever won in the history of competition. #hero

Christian Barmore is going to make Bedard look like a dummy again, isn’t he?

News Item: Taiwan wins gold in Olympic Mens Doubles badminton, China settles for silver.

There is a thing called @Legacy_Leagues basketball where they play on 8.5 feet hoops. Adults do this.

Just played a stretch of Thin Lizzy at the bar # Everyone is up in arms # im laughing

11-on-11 notes SZN.

Take a ring, and then another ring and then another ring, and then you’ve got three rings.

Think that Katie Ledecky is any good at swimming? Heh heh.

Congratulations to the Brewster Whitecaps, 2021 East Division Champs of the CCBL.

I get the decided impression I’m supposed to know who the blonde bespectacled person is in those Blue Moon Light Sky commercials, when I need an explicit ‘Brian Orakpo’ in-ad identification.

4th quarter Jason Tatum, anyone?

If you aren’t blasting music when pulling into any and all parking garages you are doing it wrong..pal.

Hey gang of radio buffs, this weeks Phrase that Pays is “Eastern Columbia, Broadway at Ninth.”

There is a definitely a ‘Cam is great, he exhales carbon dioxide, which is good for plants’ vibe to Coach Bill’s level of praise so far for last year’s starter.

Dondero was voted class clown in middle school and has been running with it ever since.

Great work winning that CONKYCAFF Gold Cup, other US Men Soccer Squadron.

Honk if you remember Keystone Ice.

The new WEEI poobah is an Indy Colts guy? Start work on that ‘Boston Radio Ratings Participant’ Banner!

I don’t think you can start at ‘cvnt’ and call that an escalation.

Fun Fact: Cuban Rounds don’t cause cancer!

Green Line Update: The B Branch work scheduled for this evening, August 4, has been cancelled due to the weather.

What kind of people make fun of their friend’s awesome summer hat?

Overall Medal Count vs Gold Medals Won is the Olympics equivalent of ‘Points scored against’ vs ‘Yards allowed’.

Josh, Nathan, and Matt. Back together again .

Not to tell the Thomas’s people how to run their business, but they need to ramp up production of Toast R Cakes.

Yoffs is sooo fetch.

If the Red Sox continue to lose, will that give Greg Bedard more time to work on the Loyko investigation?

We all still miss you, LJSandwich, you old fartknocker.

Best bet for the weekend: a safe and contemplative Victory Day long weekend in the Ocean State.

More, please.

GOAT

Simone Kyrie Biles. Mary Lou Retton would never…

Yes. People who love Chick-fil-A for its delicious food and unfailingly polite service are now going to abandon them because they won’t give free stuff to a guy with a quarter billion dollar NBA contract.

Tampa’s Soupey championship ring? Kinda tacky looking. There; I said it.

This 3 on 3 basketball is insane. And these guys are terrible.

I just don’t like The Player’s DNA, caller!

Dug Kyed’s least favorite advanced stat is FICO.

Emotions are stupid and should be repressed.

Carrabis is a composite drawing of every douche-tell.

Psylocibin hyperlinks!

Famous former-local “superfans” need to be fed to rabid polar bears.

We used to fuck around w fireworks year round.
I’d mow and shovel and paper route just to buy
I’m old – I bought from age 7 up w my friends

Ride your bike and buy cards candy and fireworks
It was beautiful

Kirk gets to be contrarian AND pretend to care about somebody else’s mental state.

Migraines are psychosomatic.

’48 dollar double lobster roll’ can be sung to the tune of Pearl Jam’s ‘Glorified G.’

Imagine thinking some hippy ice cream is taking down Unilever.

The Running of the Jorts!

Was that 98.5 “Sarge” guy actually in the military, or is it just stolen valor?

Hey gang of competitors, this week’s Phrase that Pays is “Can we start acknowledging that ‘mental issues’ are just as significant as physical injuries?”

Do people call that MSG Mill on Route 1, ‘The Loon’? I’m thinking ‘no’.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, the late Nick Cafardo getting into the Writers’ Annex In Close Proximity Of The Baseball Hall Of Fame proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the worthlessness of that honorific. 

Inexplicable half-mile backup szn.

I think Joe DiMaggio was still alive the last time anyone scrubbed out this Mr. Coffee carafe!

Under Yakuza rules, I think the Tokyo Olympics organizer guy who told the IOC that July weather for their prefecture is great is obligated to cut off his pinkie finger now.

Blue Line Update: Regularly scheduled service has resumed.

Ding up the GOAT, find Debi Thomas.

Vaccines are like millions of tiny masks for your bloodstream!

Early morning sesh, cupcake.

Know this; Brewster Whitecaps OF Chris Lanzilli wears the loosest ballcap this side of Freddy Lynn.

That Wolfgang Van Halen album is pretty good!

I think the National Weather Service has a talk show you can call in to suck the dick of the hosts if you’re interested.

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it,
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it,
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it,
That time is here for one more year;
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life.

I bet that Marshfield Fair acrobat wishes he took a mental health break! Get well soon.

Honk if you remeber the Sagamore Bridge rotary.

With Lamar Jackson testing positive for COVID-19, they are now going through the extensive process to confirm. He’ll obviously remain out until he clears.

Well it’s not like wilting under pressure let the Russian team win or anything.

Gill Incorporated Stong.

One of my lifelong goals was to bang out Kowloon for a show. Tonight’s the night.

Kokopelli is the flute petroglyph dude.

Is Happas hosting a weekend Gambling Tips Drag Brunch or something?

This is all YOUR fault for saying Simone is good at gymnastics!

Best bet for the weekend: non-telephoto lens pictures of players at training camp.

Cleveland Guardians? Boston could use a couple or three “Guardians of Traffic” to warn those rent-a-trucks to stay the fuck off Storrow Drive every Labor Day.
Candy place. Owning. They know.
BdlG. Sequin-y.

Well that’s not right.

Bucks winning the Finals will be a nice story to tide Wisconsinites over until Rodgers holdout becomes official.

Red Sox were clearly broken up about Biz during the Yankees series.

Marisa Ingemi; no longer a free agent. Congratulations.

Wait, a team from somewhere other than Los Angeles or Tampa is gets to win a championship?

Cakes are cooking for Eric Bazilian, Jon Lovitz, Ali Landry, Tamika Catchings, and Juno Temple.

Tom forgot to wear his MAGA hat to the White House ceremony.

Kyed leaving NESN? Who’s gonna type up the “Skip Bayless said this about the Patriots” clickbait tweets now?

Morikawa’s an assassin. Perhaps even a ninja.

Ray Lewis’s hyperbolic ‘watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game’ speech about the 2011 NFL lockout? That, but only about free agent Richard Sherman.

Maybe in 18 years Giannis can costar in a Warner Brothers Looney Tunes movie, ‘Space Tzatziki.’

Didn’t like that one? Well Mypos Fitzy thought it was great!

Congratulations to @pff_kyed and the fake spike king on their new role.

Never eat at a place with the word ‘shanty’ in it.

Peak Gammo makes Rap look like a water carrying piker.

Free agent pass-rusher Alex Okafor is signing back with the #Chiefs, source said. He gets a 1-year deal and will return to KC, his home for the last two seasons.

Thornton and his kid should go surfing at Nauset dressed as seals.

Pleased to see the crowds back at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

From the Eye Column: “Our spies tell us Boozy QB/QT Mac Jones noshed at Davio’s with PR czar George Regan and Pats poobah Robert Kraft before choppering to Tanglewood to take in the Pops. All the better to not be behind the wheel. File that under: musby nice.”

Wife wanted to see flowers. They’re the same flowers that grow at home, but in a different place.

“People who flatter me are classy” – Jen

Watch This Space for this Week’s Phrase that Pays!

Pogacar is a cyclist? Not gonna lie, that’s confusing.

If you get to the Christmas Tree Shops before Memorial Day, there’s great deals on beach chairs and adirondacks that won’t even last a full season.

Remember the old maxim: Grey Goose is just a sip away from “Gay Gooks.”

I don’t think the Blue Origin rocket looked like that. I think it looked like a neck massager.

As the late gorilla monsoon once famously said..stick a fork in Conor McGregor after last Saturday night

One combination still impresses;
Women, wind and summer dresses.
Meet me underneath that hollow tree,
I hope you don’t mind if thunder follows me.

Honk if you remember Toe Nash.

Warner Brothers really missed an opportunity to make Lola Bunny trans.

Malika is a reporter, not the youngest RAF pilot during the Blitz. Sheesh.

Will Kyed be tabulating sti+ as part of his job for PFF?

The Peabette would make the15’s All Scholastic Squad, if we had one. Now take that 3.9 GPA and explain to your dad vaccines do prevent disease.

Welcome to Boston, Mari Salazar!

Pro tip: don’t get your Covid vaccine from a Portagee restaurant in Fall River.

A Stoolster Big Papi podcast? Rolleyes. Do people even fucking still like Ortiz?

Your 2021 Boston Red Sox MLB All-Stars

Just buy the chrome bat. We’re not going to ask nicely again.

Does Team USA think it can just roll its neoprene out onto the court and win?

Eyeties top Blighty.

Having a rookie QB contract will be big for the next 4 years.

Addison Rae. Owning.

A Spaniard, a Swiss, and a Serbian walk onto a tennis court. And each leaves with 20 Grand Slam wins.

I bet Stephen A. Smith has an opinion on Korean boy bands.

Flying only up to the Armstrong Line is the hanging an AFC Finalist Banner of spaceflight. Sorrey!

If I was 18 in 2021. I would be a social media star and skip college. And it would be the easiest decision I ever made.

Cakes are cooking for Jackie Earl Haley, Patrick ‘Patches’ Kennedy, Missy Gold, Tim Hudson, and Conor McGregor.

It’s funny because the Red Sox draft pick superficially resembles an actor from an HBO series that ended ten years ago.

Anybody here have fuboTV?

I bet a whole lot of those discarded gas grills you see out on the curb only need minor repairs.

Why should anyone want to put the damaged Stanley Cup on the LIRR? I don’t get it.

Have more rainy days so far this month. You can’t!

You can throw out the records when longtime CONCACAF rivals Qatar and Panama clash.

News Item: Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has said the United States basketball team has Kobe Bryant’s DNA embedded in it.   What, like a Colorado hotel room?

Messi not scoring in the 88th is why he’ll never win an international trophy.

What’s more believable: Callahan saying he just “left my TV on @ABC for @NBA Finals postgame show” or people just leaving EEI on in the car after the Sox game?

So now what, a Fiat Parade?

I’m whacky
Wife stumbled off to bed
Wonderwall

Almy’s? Gone. Benny’s? Same. But Renys abides.

Who decided there needed to be a Space Jam sequel, only with a guy two orders of magnitude less charismatic than Jordan, and with the same cartoon characters everyone in the smart set thinks are problematic in 2021?

I don’t often get angry about a lot of things.

Do they call penalty kicks ‘pens’? Is that actually a thing? Ew.

Anytime you have the opportunity to wear your finest 3/4 length camo cargo shorts while proposing to the mother of your children, you have to do it.

What did ex-cop Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormack say to Manny that provoked him that one time?

A Yeti is nice, but it’s not twenty snow shovels.

Hey! Stop under-crediting Troy Brown’s insane versatility with the Pats!

Americans aren’t perfect, and one problem we absolutely have is assuming everyone everywhere should know the language we speak—when so few of us are even bilingual compared to those in other countries. (It’s a big reason why a lot of Europeans resent U.S. tourists.)

Honk if you remember Vic Tayback.

One week remains for teams and franchise tagged players to negotiate multi-year deals. The 7 tagged players left: Chris Godwin, Marcus Maye, Taylor Moton, Allen Robinson, Cam Robinson, Brandon Scherff, Marcus Williams.

jfc indian red boy died?

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is “it’s not 1992 anymore.”

#FakeDrought

Will the Tampa Lightning Stanley Cup Championship Cap have a loophole?

Biz dies, Sox still alive.

‘Why can’t the networks find something to do with someone as so obviously talented as Katie Nolan?’ Has anyone trademarked a show called “failing upwards” yet? If not, she should.

Chaim is just lucky this Red Sox squad he assembled keeps winning and winning. (West coast scores not available at press time.)

“The Stanley Cup is in the building!” Of course it is. Does it have somewhere else to be?

The Patriots have signed rookie QB Mac Jones to his four-year contract with a fifth-year team option, per source.

IG tip: Put the 6 next to the 3.

N’Keal? Probably a Moor. As a non-sovereign the draft does not apply to him. Nor does the expectation that he run routes correctly and catch passes thrown at his feet.

It’s the simple times you’ll remember, like chugging Barefoot and crushing heaters playing video games.

Cakes are cooking for Jeff Stork, Toby Keith, Glen Featherstone, Marlies Askamp, and Beck.

Okay, I’ll say it. Trade Gilmore, and give JC Jackson that money.

Absolutely clutch bit of information for anyone who is going to do an egg freezing cycle: after you do your nightly injections, put a cold soda can on it. Takes the stinging down so much.

Guess he’s no Angel.

Sunlight may be the best disinfectant, but it is also a terrible algaecide.

What is the Latvian equivalent of getting accidentally killed in a 4th of July fireworks accident? Being devoured by wolves on Jāņi?

Hey gang of sovereign citizens, this week’s Phrase that Pays is ‘The Rise of the Moops.’

Joe Chestnut, the spirit of 76. A Great American.

Can Rach Nichols still get passed around by the players like the town bike?

Free Slappy!

Tampa beating Montreal makes Boston’s cup win fluky. Makes sense.

He’s giving me the high hat!

Washington Football Team something oral report something something ‘Dianna Russini’.

Why would you have the radio on during a Vineyard movie marathon for the boys?

I hope Milwaukee understands how important it is not to get swept.

Fireworks and cheap repairs, burn me out and breaks me down. Leaves me lost, I’ve gotta swear off, fireworks and cheap repairs.

Honk if you remember Barney Miller.

Ohtani is the real deal.

That myopic line judge has a lot to answer for regarding the public perception of N’Keal Harry.

“Congrats to NBC on 15 years of bartenders needing 5 minutes to figure out which channel the hockey game you want to see is on.” – @BobbyBigWheel, via Awful Announcing

You did it, Carl!

Does the camera linger too long on Wendy Pfeffercorn’s ass in The Sandlot? #CancelSquints

Go grandpa – grandma!

You can’t spell GONE without a Big O. AlOha, Glenn.

Kids today taking selfies at Fenway instead of scoring the game using your own proprietary system of notations. Sad!

<sighs> Just to get it out of the way – yes, yes, Nia Long *is* everything.

From mystique and aura to missing Tack and horror, for the Yankees Gerrit Cole. You hate to see it.

Is today ‘Post like Gammo or Uppy Day’? Sheesh.

Is that Minifan logo a guy staring into the headlight of an oncoming train?

Montana has weatherbunnies and wide open highways without another car for miles and miles. Just sayin’.

Cor blimey, that one Euro 2020 footie match was a boffin’s spanner!

Hiring former Spurs assistant coaches not named Becky? Troubling.

Cakes are cooking for Randy Ladouceur, Karolyn Kirby, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Monica Potter, and Chan Ho Park.

They’ve already played four games of the NBA Finals? When? Wait: not the Finals. Whew!

Oooh, semi-cryptic!

May have just eaten the whole box of ice cream sandwiches.

Those annoying subscription card thingies aren’t in Boston Magazine as much as Jen Royle is.

He’s a walkin’ contradiction
Partly truth and partly fiction
Takin’ every wrong direction
On his lonely way back home.

Have a wedding July 17 and a golf tournament July 31. Otherwise I should be wide open.

That’s enough of your yimmer-yammer and shilly-shally.

Boston does have sufficient dedicated bike lanes if Coach Udoka wants to make Jayson and Jaylen ride to practice every day on a bicycle built for two.

Is Greek the Freak now Gimp the Limp?

What am I supposed to do with those three free articles in the Concord Monitor now?

Blehhhh! Missing pigeons! Blehhhhhh!!

Anthony Ramos says he is not disappointed by the box office turnout for #InTheHeights.

Yes Fenway fans, that win was, ‘sweet’, just like said in your chant!

Sportsblogging at a TV station is like dancing about architecture.

College World Series? Is that another thing Almost-a-Coach Bedard is an expert about?

Hey Dudes, this weeks Phrase that Pays is; “Now you see what happens when you find a Stranger in the Alps!’

Bon travail bon effort femme avec un signe.

This Gatorade is warm! Take their picks. All of them.

This was a bad week to have an irrational aversion to wearing shorts masquerading as a point of pride.

That Yankees equipment truck is like a metaphor, or something.

Does that Supreme Court NCAA ruling mean UMass gets its Final Four appearance reinstated?

A heat advisory has been declared for the Entitled Town Metropolitan Statistical Area. Be prepared for rolling interruptions in the podcasting schedule. Cry, but hydrate.

Honk if you remember Tidy Cat.

Green Line B Branch Update: Train service is resuming between Kenmore and Washington St, shuttle buses are being phased out.

Clambag!

Just for the All-Star game, pitchers should be able to bring a bucket of whatever they want to cheat with.

Will Amaka Ubaka interview Ime Udoka?

Reminder: TEVA sandals are to be written in all caps. Like WARRIOR Ice Arena.

A fireworks shortage? Not among #The15.

Well whatsherface is certainly the most famous third place finishing hammer thrower ever.

It’s a great few days ahead. Take off your masks and get outside.

The state of emergency is over. The Baker out front should have told ya.

Cry more, Gerrit Cole.

Channel 5 can’t keep you so busy you couldn’t do a 5 minute Google search and find out Tatum does watch a lot of video, Gasper. Just like Spida!

So would a healthy goalie have prevented the defense from turning over the puck 10 feet from the net repeatedly? Because if not I’m not sure what difference benching Rask would have made.

Plagiarism? Unseemly. Linky-link.

Which hesi pull-up move do you guys rock with the most?

Nate Diaz is a warrior.

Cheese and crackers is such a simple but good snack.

Gosh, it is a shame Philly fans are upset today.

Has Kirk made the Call Her Daddy payday about himself yet?

I meant no ill will towards Nikki, but I’m used to the people associating with her twisting my words to fit a narrative about the media.

I had too much to dream last night.

Glad to hear that Jerry Remy is back at home scratching comfortably. Resting! Resting comfortably! Ha ha, What did I say?

McGreevy’s, Lir, The Pour House, Bukowski Tavern, Whiskey’s. With all those Boylston Street bars permanantly shuttered thanks to the pandemic; it’s like a bomb went off.

‘Yacksel Ríos’ sounds like Bronson Pinchot’s Serge character from Beverly Hills Cop saying the name of the GnR frontman.

You can tell I’m “In Sports” because I constantly post revealing thirst trap pictures then get mad when you notice.

We have 15 sports editors.

Yes, but what if you are an asshole who has bad shorts? Hmm?
