04/21/2021 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Which item in the Sports Junk Drawer merits the picture of Carnac the Magnificent? Read on to find out.
Kept his stick on the ice.

Johnny Pierson: gone to that big furniture convention in the sky. Hopefully Johnny drew up his last will & testament as well as he did plays during intermission. RIP.

Congrats to the 45 million UMass alumni, all of whom never realized before last week they had a hockey team.

I swear, these alternate jerseys by Nike seems like just a way for them to get us to spend more money!

Any Super League that didn’t include Wolverhampton was doomed from the start.

Tell us in the comments what you think of the Bengals’ new ‘fits.

Next week on ‘The Case‘: Brockton is full of scumbags and Steve did a Google search.

I was also never offered the job coaching Indiana basketball. The rumors mean a lot to me but they are untrue!

You don’t need to post everything you do. You really don’t.

A whole lotta punks, squids, Haskell’s, and just plain cvnts on that Caps squad.

I guess we’ll only be able to catch Cash Cab on reruns now.

Cakes are cooking for Ed Belfour, Rob Riggle, Audra Cohen, Max Chilton, Princess Isabella of Denmark, and Josh Marion.

Every time I see a picture of Tom Werner, I feel like $20 has been withdrawn from my bank account.

I heard a lot of people telling us the celtics were back in business and look out…boy very quiet I am hearing from them after this gong show vs bulls

Came this close to pulling the trigger on purchasing a box of factory seconds biscotti at the Ocean State Job Lot.

Red Sox still have fewer wins than Mookie’s Dodgers, caller.

LAPD cancelled that Gold & Purple Alert for that missing imaginary Lakers fan lady, I suppose.

News Item: High school sophomore Matthew Vital shoots an 8-under-par 62, breaks Reading (PA) Country Club course record set by Sam Snead in 1949.

I could go for a nice scallop roll right now.

Is big pharma working on a vaccine to counter the effects of the Hellenic Flu?

Get another tattoo and do some arm curls; that will fill the emptiness this time I bet.

I like when Pete Abe tweets something that gets pushback and hides one reply when there are 12 more saying the same thing.

What, are you waiting for a streetcar?

Approximately 90% of my Premier League soccer knowledge is gleaned from Monty Python episodes.

It’s funny because that one fan threw a pizza slice at that other fan.

Glad to hear the Cape League plans to return. Go Pants Factory!

Hey bud, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Marv is Suave.”

It’s okay to admit this Celtics team has talent.

The Euro Super League, the Fenway Park Press Conference Room, and Linda Pizzuti…What are 3 things John Henry has spent very little time in?

Who Can Think About Low-Rise Jeans When We Have Vanessa Hudgens’s Jaw-Dropping Hip Cutouts?

Former Pro Bowl TE Jordan Reed is retiring, sources say. A 2013 3rd-round pick by the Washington Football Team, Reed emerged as one of the game’s best receiving TEs before battling injuries. His improbable comeback with #49ers last season allowed him to walk away with no regrets.

Red: Republican Blue: Democrat Red & Blue make Purple: One World Government Numbers, symbols & colors, are used in pagan Magic for predictive programming.

Women. Women and their knick-knacks! Amirite?

Rest In Peace, Walt Mondale.

Bitch! Kitchen!

Congratulations to the Pope Francis Prepatory H.S. Hockey team out of Springfield, MA, USA Hockey Division 1 National Champions.

Honk if you remember that Robert ‘Love’ Klemko was supposed to have a follow-up report on Antonio Brown.

You can’t be losing to a team in your division, Tone.

Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know.

Actually, the worst person to sit next to at a baseball game would be ‘the relentlessly negative sports radio “celebrity caller”.’

Best bet for the weekend: a clash of the titans as the Mariners visit the lyric little bandbox on Jersey Street.

Central Florida. Late Mid April.

Happy for the team.

R.I.P. HRH Prince Philip and DMX. So often linked in life, so they will be in death.

Julian Edelman. I was in denial as to the severety of his knee ailment. Thanks for the memories, and the 100+ playoff catches. Way to compete. Really.

UMass Men’s Ice Hockey, National Champions. Suck it, Gilligan!

Fake ailments don’t get you on the vaccine list? Maybe try sleep apnea.

Half-price Easter candy as a gift? Sheesh.

I like Little Jonathan, epidemiologist better than Big Jonathan, draftnik.

Break up the 2021 Red Sox!

The universe has to keep expanding in order to contain all the cat gifs.

Taylor Hall. Why do I know that name? Is he in sports?

An Oriental wins The Masters post-Covid? Even more obvious than letting a team named ‘the Patriots’ win the post 9/11 Super Bowl.

Cakes are cooking for Stan Humphries, David Archibald, Da Brat, Rebecca DiPietro, and Win Butler.

Jennifer Grey is Joel Grey’s daughter? Did I just find that out, or did I forget that I knew that fact?

Hirohito had a big lead early on, too.

Putting your personal logo over an already bastardized American flag seems disrespectful to the troops.

@jumbogart

Good win, Celtics. A self-motivated win, even.

Carrabis has no family and one interest in life and he can’t please his bosses. That’s a dedication to mediocrity.

See, FIRST you snipe, THEN you celly!

Bernie Madoff. It’s like he was living on borrowed time. Aloha means ‘goodbye’, Bernie. Aloha.

Dear White People: defrost your refrigerators.

Rachel Corrie wasn’t as much of a human shield as Jules Edelman was for Robert Kraft on their trip to Israel.

Hey there gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is “Blast it with Sweet onion sauce.”

Poor Tanya Ray Treadwell. Who could have seen that happening?

The Gardner Museum Heist will be solved before the Loyko investigation is concluded.

Of course Edelman caught this. He caught everything.

It’s not the Hall of Regular Season Counting Stats. Just sayin’.

I could see Dale Arnold pulling a ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ stunt and audition for the vacated Danielle Murr chair.

Some Rhode Islanders will tell you this is the worst 5-6 Yankees team ever.

You’re not the girl you think you are, yeah
Someone’s standing in your place.

The bathroom mirror makes you look tall
But it’s all in your head, in your head.

He won’t deceive you or tell you the truth
Woman, he’ll be no trouble.
He won’t write you letters,
Full of excuses
Come on, believe you have one, in a million.

Red Sox announce top prospect Bryan Mata underwent Tommy John surgery.

Does draft expert Bob Kraft still have his stopwatch?

Don’t give new guy Reilly the 6 jersey, Bruins! Bad number for a B’s defenseman.

A. 1982 NCAA Womans Lacrosse Champs.

Great day for baseball! Let’s play two!

Isn’t it usually the ladies get a massive headache before getting an injection from the ol’ Johnson (& Johnson)? What?

Honk if you remember the Quizno’s Spongmonkey ads.

Los Angeles law enforcement gave Tiger a mulligan on the speeding.

Is it too late to insert Wally the Green Monster into Space Jam 2? Probably.

Nice scheduled four a.m. tweet, Superfly.

My Fire Stick 4K does not upgrade my TV into having 4K picture quality. Sad.

Best bet for the long holiday weekend: Jerry Remy not practicing his Spanish diction.

Meh. More like City Dis-connect! Amirite?

Great news you guys, now that LeBron’s part-owner of the Red Sox the fans in other cities can’t call Boston racist anymore. Guys? Guys?

Hey Andy Gresh, can you tell me what time it is? Oh, thanks, you just did.

It’s pretty obvious the Evergreen being “stuck” was a false flag to fake a toilet paper shortage if you really think about it.

Now I’m only writing TWO things. I finish the other piece today & turn in the draft a week early THEN I work on a project that I’m not going to speak on because it hasn’t been announced yet.

Having a microphone in his face is one of the two things that can bring old man Kraft to orgasm.

It’s like ESPN didn’t understand Paul Pierce’s sly social commentary about how everything is so oversexualized nowadays.

Did new owner LeBron James inspire the 2021 Red Sox to flop? Sure looking that way.

Wait, they won two three in a row? Then maybe it was Load Management.

This upcoming HBO Lakers series is giving me serious “The Late Shift” vibes.

I’d like to hear Mike Francesa explain what a Non-Fungible Token is.

Cakes are cooking for John Oates, Tony Dorsett, Gary Wilkinson, and Suzann Pettersen.

I’ll say it. I don’t like the Red Sox Patriot’s Day uniforms.

Gary Tanguay with a dubious vouch? Well I never!

I’d kinda like Kayce to give another defense of how Portnoy respects women today.

Orange Line: Delays of up to 15 minutes northbound due to police activity at Green Street.

Oh no. My Roomba is all clogged up with spilled Xanax. Again.

Gonzaga is no undefeated 1969 Medfield squad.

I bet @GerryCallahan watches ‘Gutfield!’ laughing like DeNiro at the movie theater in Cape Fear.

The Case podcast by Barstool Sports is great if you like to hear Kirk Minihane struggle to convey even an ounce of actual human empathy.

I was worried the Red Sox had really used up all their bat power in spring training lmao.

It’s not always about who is the biggest, the fastest, or the strongest. It’s about quickness, seeing the lane open up, reaction time, shrewd planning, and if necessary some playful flirting. Like I said, whatever it takes. But I’m rusty. I haven’t traveled on a plane post-COVID.

Some unsolicited advice for Trenni: even though it’s only radio, there’s still cameras everywhere.

Rough break with your players gettind ‘vidded up, UMass.

Hey cupcake, this week’s Phrase that Pays is ‘ran away like a tulip when shit got real.’

I wonder what the punishment is when @LouMerloni forgets to wash Linda Pizzuti’s car? He has to call more damn games?

I love how Worcester is now referred to as the ‘Alternate Site’ like it’s Mount Thunder or something.

Skinnygirl wine: That’s an easy grape.

Can’t remember when I ate.
It’s just thumb and walk and wait.
And I’m still 500 miles away from home.
If my luck had been just right,
I’d be with them all tonight.
But I’m still 500 miles away from home.

The Liberal Club in Fall River is my absolute favorite place to get fried clams and Covid vaccine.

Jennifer Eagan does have the prettiest eyes in Boston.

The #Jets have received very little interest in the No. 2 overall pick, which means teams are clear on what GM Joe Douglas insinuated yesterday. The Jets know their pick.

Mookie Bettis is different than Monty Beisel.

Honk if you remember where you were when you heard Republika Srpska declared its independence.

Hang in there, BMX.

Tom Werner wants the second base coach fired!

I’d rather watch that Portnoy video on a loop for 150 minutes than another Avatar movie.

Eck is only entertaining in small doses. There, I said it.

Still going…

After five long years, the Isobel Cup returns to Boston! Congratulations to Jennifer, and Lisa, and, uh, Amy, and all the rest of the players and coaches for the Boston team in the NWHL!

They refloated that stuck container ship before Kid Gaslight concluded his twitter tantrum.

I know; ‘The Green Kornet!’ Did anyone else think of that? Everyone? Everyone else did, too? Oh.

Pro-batflip Twitter is much more obnoxious than anti-batflip Twitter ever was.

Yes. Yes you have every right to be upset that Belichick’s draft history doesn’t look like a Kim Jong-Un golf scorecard.

No way, Paige Bueckers and Jalen Suggs knew each other in high school?

Can’t wait to see what @Toucherandrich have cooked up for April Fool’s Day! Zoinks!

Must be nice to have sleep apnea.

Chris Gasper hasn’t gotten this much attention since the 2010 P-town Carnival.

A ‘non-infectious’ positive COVID test for Matt Barnes? Alex Cora is up to his old tricks again.

Entercom is now Audacy. Please make a note of it.

Don’t try to rig Twitter giveaway contests. You WILL be caught.

Second billing on a weekend radio show does not make one Rosie the Riveter.

Marwin? Kiké? Franchy?? These are not baseball player names. These are Sunday Drag Brunch names.

Another big day of Pro Days today — with two likely Top 10 picks Kyle Pitts and Ja’Marr Chase among those on display.

What are you thinking, contracting Covid-19 now? Next you’ll tell me you just started watching Tiger King.

A two goal lead in hockey is the worst lead to have.

Elenore, gee I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?

The next person who makes a Suez Canal joke to me gets locked in a room with a starving Major Biden.

It’s times like these we miss Tommy…

Is being scared of winter considered a comorbidity for early vaccination?

Feels like a Charlie Bronson night.

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is “My hovercraft is full of eels.”

Here’s condescension: You are painfully inept with words.

It appears Deshaun Watson’s quick release is not limited to just throwing the football.

Hi Farm.

To the guy backing his shopping cart out the entire length of the one way aisle; I appreciate your commitment to the letter of the rule. Respect to you.

Of course Charlie Coyle scored in @bsp_13‘s presence!!!

Godzilla has to be the prohibitive favorite in his tilt versus King Kong.

Watson pre-came during a massage?! Wow! I shit myself while at the Natick rest stop on the Pike! Just like equals!

Wait, so the journalist with a hosting gig on 98.5 is completely different than the other 98.5 host?

There’s never a bad time to nail your personal spice blend.

Honk if you remember Creature Double Feature.

Are you more a Jane Birkin guy, or an Edwige Fenech guy?

Proud of the way I reverse-mushed UMass hockey.

Masturbate your way thru it, Britni. Eventually the pain will go away.

I think that fella is a Minihane burner account.

Any word on Jack McCormick? Will he be at Opening Day?

Deshaun Watson’s lawsuits are now old enough to drink.

By mid April, the Patriots will be claiming they’ve never even heard of Jimmy Garoppolo, whoever he is.

Best bet for the weekend: people happy they cleverly put off getting vaccinated because it meant they had to cancel the big Easter Dinner plans.

Twas The Night Before Baseball

Twas the night before baseball, when all through the house Not a player was stirring, not even Mike Trout The bats were hung in the clubhouse with care In hopes that baseball soon would be there

The fans were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of home runs danced in their heads And Goodell in his kerchief, and Brady in his cap Had just settled their brains for a long summer nap

When out on the diamond there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the ballpark, I flew like a flash, Tore open the gates and made a mad dash

The moon on the breast of the new-painted logo, Gave a lustre of midday to figures below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a pitcher, and men for the outfield and infield

With a bold arm so lively and strong, I knew in a moment he must be deGrom. More rapid than eagles his pitches they flew, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

“Now, Mookie! now, Xander! now Lindor and Votto! On, Chapman! on, Gallo! on, Judge and Stanton! To the top of the short porch! over the green wall! Now hit away! hit away! hit that ball!”

As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When the bat meets with a ball, mount to the sky; So up to the plate the batters they flew With arms full of bats, and deGrom too—

And then, in a twinkling, I heard in the dugout The prancing and swinging of one Michael Trout. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, On to the mound, deGrom came with a bound.

He was dressed in Mets black, from his head to his shoes, And his clothes were adorned with orange and blue ; A rosin bag he carried to the mound, And he looked like a peddler opening a small pack.

His eyes — how they stared! his jaw was set In a duel of pitchers, on him, I would bet His hand was clenched around the white and red ball And I knew one by one, the batters would fall

The well-oiled glove he held tight in his fist, The frost from his breath encircled his head like a wreath; He had on his game face, no sign of quarantine belly To shake when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was tall and lean, a ticking time bomb, And I laughed when I saw him, knowing what was to come; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave batters to know they had much to dread;

deGrom spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, He struck out all the batters; then turned with a jerk, And then very quickly, without making a sound, He gave a slight nod, and walked off the mound.

He sprang to the clubhouse, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— “Happy Opening Day Eve to all, and to all a good night!”

Don’t you love old Larry Johnson cartoons? I do. I really do.

I don’t mean this disrespectfully I seriously want to know, what was Dale Arnold’s signature moment in 30 years with WEEI?

We don’t usually break news here at #The15, but I have it on good authority that Brad Stevens plans on having many private team meetings going forward this season.

Where have you gone, William Bendetson? Pats Nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

I wonder if Lou Merloni is cashing 15th place bonus checks?

Coach Kyles is so busy grinding tape he doesn’t even have time to retake his twitter profile picture!

I’m just happy Kenny Moore is having fun again.

Patrick Chung is retiring just the moment I stopped calling him Eugene.

Sorry Andy Hart, we can’t have you slide over into Dale’s chair, we need to find a true talent like Andy Gresh.

Cakes are cooking for Pat Bradley, The Undertaker, Alyson Hannigan, Aaron Brooks, and Corey Hart.

After this stuff with female massage therapists, I guess Deshaun Watson really is the heir apparent to Peyton Manning?

How could the Commissioners Office allow these lawsuits to get out BEFORE Watson forced a trade to NE. Heads will roll at 345 Park Avenue.

RIP Dick Hoyt’s left-parted hairpiece.

Keep yappin’ Bob. That always works out for you. Make sure to remind the other owners about their inefficiencies. I doubt they’ll remember and soon rally behind some fictional scandal that will ensnare your coach and players, simply to remind you that you’re nouveau riche. Schmuck.

I bet the real media gets to bring a bag into Fenway Park.

Fitzy and Titzy is a great radio morning zoo name. Just sayin’.

Upton Bell is right. His dad never would have sold the broadcast rights to a streaming internet service in the 1950’s.

I have a pile of Malta Today back issues I haven’t gotten to yet.

Cry Moore.

Deshaun wrecked my ‘Stimmy For Jimmy’ joke.

Curt should be as loved as KG in this town. What a fuckup he is.

Parcells now has to be slotted behind Chung for inclusion in the Pats Hall of Fame. Sorrey Big Tuna.

In retrospect, all the Tourney upsets were foreseeable.

Mike Holley goes from working with Dick Teeth Keefe to Shiny Tooth Felger.

So, long story short: the jacket was full of spiders.

If Dov is brave, truthful and unselfish, he can become a real boy.

Gresh is one of those people you stare at a little longer on the street because you can’t quite tell if he’s rocking an extra chromosome or not.

Why does Ben Volin want college basketball players to contract Covid-19?

Mexican pizza brings me back. Just hits different y’all.

Hey gang. This week’s Phrase that Pays is “Nobody wanted to go to New England to be coached by Bill Belichick!”

Can’t believe having BJ Dean on every night wasn’t the answer for NBCSports Boston. Well, at least he can now focus on his burgeoning music career.

Neunundneunzig Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht.

Maybe don’t trade Mookie if you don’t want a billboard mocking that decision.

Autobiography by Ashlee Simpson is one of the albums that raised me tbh. Pieces of Me is now stuck in my head and I’m not complaining. It goes so hard STILL TO THIS DAY.

Caesars is reportedly expected to sign a 20-year naming rights deal with the Saints and Superdome.

No, Duxbury HS did not submit a waiver claim on Rohrwasser. Why would you ask that?

Has he figured out the car clock though?

Hey, does Tom E. Curran still think that Bill Belichick should relinquish his GM duties?

Its time to start have have a discussion about the Bruins as sellers..not buyers.

I don’t do estimates.

Dale Arnold: Faker of sincerity on Boston radio since 1991.

Bye Marv Marvin.

Admit it. You’re excited for Space Jam 2 Day at Fenway.

I prefer my presidents not to be blown away.

If Gary Tanguay were a method actor, he would at least try to know something about sports when trying to credibly portray a sports radio host.

Y’all ever not eat and take a bunch of benzo?

Local Market Basket customer pandemic response update: Double-masking? No. At least one person going the wrong way down the one-way aisles? Yes.

It’s really a shame we don’t have Brady to attract free agents.

Sources have confirmed that Dale’s step stool and back clips will not be retired from NESN broadcasts.

Four free throw attempts? Four? This. League.

They’re still doing the 11:05 start time for the Patriot’s Day Red Sox game, even with no Boston Marathon?

More time to spend at Table. Less money to spend at Table. Quite a conundrum.

Hmm. Aston Martin’s reviving its Vanquish nameplate.

To help facilitate ongoing Orange Line infrastructure upgrades at Wellington and address damage from the derailment, shuttle buses will continue to replace service between Oak Grove and Sullivan Square for the next 3 weeks.

Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer: Emergency Cam Newton Edition

If we look at this through the prism of ‘Bill doesn’t care what the media thinks’ this is a win, I guess.

Full offseason and a year more removed from shoulder surgery. I’m in. (Not really)

Know what will calm me down? An illegible Instagram post!

Maybe they’re signing Cam just to attract all the free agent weaponz?

I almost think this makes them more likely to trade up for Lance. Lance definitely isn’t ready but you aren’t taking on the vet for more than a year.

Where was Bedard with the scoop?

I jinxed it by trying to reverse mush it by saying Bill was going to bring him back out of spite.

Less yakking and more coaching, Jordan Palmer!!!

It is impossible to be reasonable about this right now. He’s cooked.

Already talking myself into a one year deal meaning nothing.

Waiting on @RapSheet to tell us that Cam had multiple offers, including at least one multiyear deal, but felt he has unfinished business in New England.

Bill has given money to veteran players he admires before.

So maybe Tawm had a point about taking the offensive keys away from Bill?

The new QB’s insta would’ve been cringy garbage anyway.

At least the coach has a history of starting an unproven young guy over a high priced underperforming veteran.

The sad thing is that except for the fruity clothing, goofy social media posts, inability to pass, misguided confidence, excessive cigar smoking, batted down passes, lack of ball security…

They’re definitely drafting a 1st round QB and trading for Beckham and signing Golladay.

I’m not rooting for someone named “Lance”.

It’s not in a lot of the medical literature, but COVID is notorious for making QBs set their feet perpendicular to the direction they’re throwing.

I love Patriots Twitter. It’s entertaining during the offseason.

Again taking Belichick at his word, and hearing everything the team says about him, they love the guy.

The contract better have an incentive for a legible font on his Instagram.

This is gonna kill Stidhsy when he wakes up and finds out; one o’ clock Eastern, nine AM Pacific.

If they keep Cam and trade away Harry all the wrong people are going to be insufferable. Correction: even more insufferable.

Kinda stole poor Justin Bethel’s thunder.

Noontime: actually, Cam is paying the Patriots 14M to let him hang around and is opening a bespoke chapeau shop in the old TB12 space.

Ask me in August.

Assembled from the instant reactions of #the15. And others.
