*An elegant ballpark feature from a more civilized age.*

Congratulations to the Brewers! Well done. I do feel bad for Dick Vitale and the Rays’ other fan.

Jaylen Brown is like a pick-me girl if the targeted audience was black dudes with Asian cartoons as their profile pics.

How poor and strung out do you have to be to have mismatching plasticware?

Sounds like Henderson might have had the “Foxboro Flu” last weekend.

Hey honey, for Halloween I think I’ll go as that famously flamboyantly gay guy who’s known for exercising, you know as a joke.

Thank you, Veronica Burton, for doing your part in preventing Owen Pence from crowing about Angel Reese.

You never see a white guy named Malik.

You just know Andy Reid and Brett Veach have Henry Ruggs III’s mandatory parole date circled on their calendars.

I’ve never seen Ernest Scared Stupid. I’m fixing that right now.

Finding out for the first time in 2026 that Bruce Springsteen is a liberal has shocked me to my core.

Cakes are coking for Delbert McClinton, Marlene Jobert, Jacques Villeneuve the Elder, Chris Difford, Peter Boynton, Jeff Probst, Ralph Macchio, Michel Therrien, Kool Rock-ski, Petra Verkaik, Eric Karros, Carlos Baerga, Matthew McConaughey, Puff Daddy, Russell Copeland, Orlando Pace, Larry Bigbie, Vince Wilfork, Devin Hester, and Dez Bryant.

Miami needs to be ranked #1 so if Notre Dame beats them ESPN can make the argument that they beat one good team.

I thought Achilles was the face of Achilles injuries.

Joe Mazzulla has never understood the phrase “double-edged sword.” “Aren’t all swords double-edged?” he said.

Zolak made an analogy to that Maye sack to “back when on the Mass Poke they had ticket turnstiles, now you just use the Sun Pass”. What?

I don’t think mastering one thing and then moving on to the next thing is a hallmark of ADHD.

Red Sox just traded the owner of the first cycle in WooSox history.

Can the Pope dunk?

Football is just a very retarded sport to try to capture statistically in so many ways. “Nice 1 yard TD run, loser. Your YPC just took a hit.”

The thing I’ll always remember from Patrick Stewart is him saying that, coming from a Shakespearean background, he was the only one on the set of TNG who knew what to with your hands when you have no pockets: Nothing. Genuinely helpful as an autistic and a trans woman both.

Mayfield had a higher rating than Penix? How is 0-3 for 0 not a 0?

A computer took your job Daddy.

Charlie McAvoy got two separate penalties eight seconds apart. That’s hard to do.

Kaylee Hartung; was her dad a G.I.?

I really enjoy Andrew Catalon. That thing on top of his head, less so.

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “She looks bendy, and willing to try stuff.”

NBA Cup Tonight!!!
Said no one ever
Bob Hearts Abishola Energy.

Felger smelling his own jizz seems on pointe.

A Pete Blackburn mention means more to me than it should and yes I am embarrassed writing that.

Imagine double-teaming the DUNE: PART 3 popcorn bucket with your best friend and then never speaking about it again.

I don’t know if modern day Celtics fans can appreciate how important Delonte was to the mid 2000s teams and putting the team into position to get KG and Ray. His “wiyahh hangaahhh” ad for Fox Sports New England is legendary.

Logan Ryan has a sneaky good white guy sounding voice.

Green Line: Due to signal upgrades, there will be no service between North Station & Babcock St (B), Cleveland Circle (C), Kenmore (D), & Heath St (E) Nov 7 – 15. Use buses to Copley/Back Bay. Use Orange Line between Back Bay & North Station.

Fan Duel with The NFL Logo next to It is disgusting. Bert Bell is rolling in his grave. He went To his grave after he Dropped Dead.

Wow, Mut really pussies out talking about Mike Adams.

I feel like it’s been all downhill for Vivek ever since he got Josh’s endorsement.

That AJ Brown trade is looking better and better each day.

The Mrs. is noticing the grocery bills have been increasing outside of inflation. She’s yet to discover the correlation between the money spent and the convoluted recipes she sends me to make on TikTok. Stay tuned.

News Item: Lights is in a poly relationship with Anthony from Smosh.

Feels like the Patriots could have gotten Jared Wilson a helmet cover that is the same color as the regular helmets.

I don’t recall asking for a Temu Tim Burton Ebeneezer Scrooge movie.

Imagine that annoying sports TV guy if he had the mentions of that annoying sports TV girl. Crazy stuff!

He fell down.

The Gilded Age is peak TV and I’m glad it’s back. One of the only shows I will make time to watch as close to “live” as possible.

At my bedside empty pocket,
A foot without a sock.
Your body gets much closer,
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed, by the seduction
I wish that it would stop.

Tempted by the fruit of another.
Tempted, but the truth is discovered.
What’s been going on,
Now that you have gone.
There’s no other,
Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted, but the truth is discovered.

Coach Vrabes looks like crap. The mini bye week with his wife must have been fun.

Flo stays in his bag.

Lexington High’s Sal Frelick: World Series champion. Newton South High’s Veronica Burton: WNBA champion. Two kids from Massachusetts who defied the odds. You can do it, too. Believe in yourself.

Honk if you remember Left Shark.

Missing my ex-boyfriend from two boyfriends ago who thought a force to be reckoned with was “a force to be wrecking with” and said it constantly.

Joe Fagnano pronounces his name, “Fan-Yano”?

I would like to see the language in Jaylen’s contract that allows him to go skydiving. I will wait.

Sources: The Patriots will not be in for real on Jonathan Taylor, but if a team that recently lost their MVP caliber QB makes their RB who used to play for Vrabel available, which is possible, keep your eyes peeled.

I would be more interested in Platinum Glove Awards if the winners had to dye their hair platinum.

Had to open the emergency backup ‘Dots, Tootsie Pops & Tootsie Rolls’ bag for the last bunch of trick or treaters.

I got got. Bam did not dress up as A’ja for Halloween. Damn AI.

L.L. Bean boots are dogshit in snow and ice, but people have been psyoped into thinking they need them.

When does analytics revert to the mean?

For three weeks I thought I had anhedonia. Turns out I was just really bored.

Best bet for the weekend: Coors Light and shitty chili.

*A Bruin is a bear. Some bears are brown. Voila!*

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Joe Giza, Matt Vautour, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. How long has this been going on?

*Did Tatum’s PR team advise the Celtics to send the game to OT so he could stat pad?*

Who told Jaylen to handle this situation using his left hand?

Tanner Jeannot is a monster.

Oh, so Michael Felger gets to enjoy watching his hometown team compete for a championship in peace, but that courtesy isn’t reciprocated?

The League ought to reel in all the extravagant Celebrations. It borders on the Ridiculous. Everything is a takeoff on Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Theory: The darker the helmet color, the gayer the mushroom helmet looks.

Glad I’ve been right about Jaylen Brown for a decade. He did a whole semester at Berkley he’s so smart!!! Guy is a fucking moron. He’s probably dumber than the average NBA guy because at least the rest of ’em know they hit the genetic lottery and leave it at that. Kyrie YouTube University Extension School attendee.

There’s no Crying in Baseball or On Planes.

To my neighbors to the north, is the Calgary tower worth checking out, or just a tourist trap?

“Tatum needs to watch his tone to manage the other guy’s emotions better” makes a lot more sense when you think about Karalis’s personal life.

Al Michaels can barely conceal his disdain for Amazon Prime shows.

If the Colts are having a fire sale, Grover Stewart is the player I’m most interested in.

Dan Orlovsky may be a bit of a dullard.

Cakes are cooking for Jane Alexander, Dennis Franz, Annie Potts, Bill Gates, Stephen Morris, Daphne Zuniga, Kevin Dineen, Lauren Holly, Jamie Gertz, Steve Atwater, Julia Roberts, Ben Harper, Brad Paisley, Terrell Davis, Joaquin Phoenix, Gwendoline Christie, Matt Smith, Finn Wittrock, Frank Ocean, Nolan Gould, and Stephen Nedoroscik.

I don’t think the extra loud cheering when Robinson makes a FT is helpful to him. Stop giving him the retard treatment.

Of course Lucy Burdge thinks Jaylen is handling this just fine, he’s acting like a woman.

Does anybody know if Anthony Edwards got hurt?

Howie Carr looked disgusting–nipples protruding–in his blue shirt before the “Thank You For Voting” sign. Very very disrespectful.

Notre Dame. What a life. Play nobody, lose any time you actually play someone good, stay ranked in the top 5.

Go catch your own cod dummy.

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that pays is, “I don’t want to be the face of tearing your fuckin Achilles.”

You know in science fiction movies when they put space explorers in suspended animation so they can survive wicked long travel? I needed that trying to go west on the Mass Pike last night.

‘Lamb chops and gravy’ has some real, ‘the owl has lost his goat!’ energy.

Yo Pacers, let’s not play Kesha’s “Die Young” during the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Teddy Bear Toss please and thanks.

Green Line: Due to signal modernization work there will be no service between North Station & Babcock St (B), Kenmore (C+D), & Heath St (E) Oct 31 – Nov 1. Use buses for service to Copley/Back Bay. Use Orange Line between Back Bay & North Station.

Dustin May looks like someone fucked around with the create a player feature.

Yucky bad man Karalis once accused the Celtics of shitting on Heinsohn’s legacy because they got their asses kicked right after he passed away.

Jaylen vs Jayson reminds me of The Office. You just can’t make edgy comedies like that anymore.

I had a busy day once I eventually woke up Laura.

Was there ever a better opening to a Top 40 song than Martha and the Vandellas’ “Heat Wave?”

THEY get to gloat when a Boston team loses an early season game. YOU are overreacting to a tiny sample size when you enjoy an early season win.

Cam Skattebo is an 80s movie character.

The Celtics Post Game Show is longer than Rocky 1,2,3,4,5,6

News Item: Chrishell Stause announces split from G Flip after 4 years.

Cabbage is such an underappreciated vegetable.

I believe Scal. Also #FireScal.

When I look over my shoulder
What do you think I see?
Some other cat lookin’ over
His shoulder at me
And he’s strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch.

I was driving a little too fast down Washington Street in Canton, Massachusetts this morning when a police cruiser pulled out of the cemetery being me… I thought I was cooked.

Like we don’t remember all the Chiefs fans divided into two camps; whether Mahomes would beat Brady’s Super Bowl records in eight seasons, or the conservative faction that thought it might take nine.

Treveyon Henderson couldn’t find a hole if he was having sex with Bonnie Blue.

Lucy pulling the I know more because I’m in sports with this topic is right up there with Brie Pirre telling Asante Samuel she gets paid to talk football, therefore she’s right.

Can’t believe there’s an all new Cupertino this Thursday on CBS and Paramount Plus.

Honk if you remember Bobby Orr scoring the final goal of his career on this day in 1978.

I’m baffled by people who retire and keep shitposting on LinkedIn. Like being a soulless corporate husk wasn’t just an act?

Underrated moment is DanO asking McAfee if he knows what it means and he goes “yeah percentile. It’s Greek.”

Jaylen Brown fans talk about him like he’s Dr. Sebi.

I don’t trust a man who says “we’ll circle back” without looking like he’s ever completed a circle.

They should make more Nick Saban commercials.

Best bet for the weekend: three more games to act as a referendum of the Jaylen/Jayson question.

‘SORRY JT, YOU’LL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE LOUDER, I’M PLAYING MY GIANT GOLD CONCERT HARP.’

I hope the Celtics understand by losing a road game they disappointed a fat human Coinstar.

Are we sure “Dr. Jesse Morse” isn’t just Markwayne Mullin in a lab coat?

Have the judges who picked the finalists been to Logan Airport? “Voice of” should clearly be an unintelligible Dominican accent.

Bob Uecker just cracked a Miller somewhere.

I’m definitely impressed by the guy with “MBA” in his zoom display name.

Great job with the fast healing, but the grace of God needs to bestow ball security upon TreVeyon next.

For the many who seem interested: Progresso, $4.49; Campbell’s, $4.29.

You can’t stop Mikko Rantanen, you can only hope he doesn’t score four goals against you.

You’d be missing throws too if your wife was hobnobbing with hairy Armenians.

Imagine being a Callahan Stan. He looks like Freddy Krueger and sounds like RFK Jr. with AIDS.

Cakes are cooking for Manfred Mann, Elvin Bishop, Judith Sheindlin, Everett McGill, Lee Loughnane, Patti Davis, Charlotte Caffey, Eric Faulkner, George Bell, Ken Watanabe, John Flaherty, Mo Lewis, Andrew Scott, Mélanie Turgeon, Will Estes, Kim Kardashian, Zack Greinke, Glen Powell, and Doja Cat.

I missed the NBA. I did not miss watching Joel Embiid play basketball.

They’re still drinking root beers out in Provo.

Never realized how many French Studies majors have been on Twitter and IG this whole time, kid.

We’re looking down our noses at Attleboro 7s now?

Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons is believed to have sustained a torn Achilles tendon at practice Sunday. He can now go back to doing what he loves most; not playing basketball.

I see you, Robert Spillane.

Red Line: Delays of about 15 minutes due to a signal problem near Davis. Trains may stand by at stations.

Every time I hear Garrett Wilson I think of Garrett Morris.

Can’t imagine holding any high-end Justin Herbert cards. The Chargers are the worst team in the NFL.

I don’t like my visa picture.

Bledsoe, Mahomes and Maye married somebody who loved them before they were famous. Shitheads like Brady marry the supermodel and weep about their divorce in their Instagram stories.

Little powdered donuts are still very elite.

Hey gang of Eurohoopers, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “I appreciate all the internet doctors trying to diagnose and help, but I’m in the best hands. So everyone can relax now. And I don’t have HIV or AIDS.”

Yaaaaaa Sully … Big Govahment is running the classic pump and dump gas scheme … yaaaaaaaa

Calling a Mexican person Taco on a social media app is definitely one way to convince people you’re not a racist.

I could see ESPN tossing the bag at Greg Olsen.

Jaylen Brown says he bought a gold harp, and now has someone come over twice a week to play it as the sun goes down while his chef cooks dinner.

Seriously, how the hell is there 450 different types of Drew Bledsoe football cards?

Kage Moush?

Zolak gets so bored when the game is decided. Squirrel brain.

Roger McQueen wearing No. 95 for Anaheim is terrific.

Mike Reiss has a snacking problem. There, I said it.

If we’re talking artists from the 2010’s I’m not sure why Flo Rida isn’t seen as above Bieber Rihanna etc.

Lift the weights
Run the miles
Boil the eggs

Obviously the Halloween theme from the original 1978 movie is ICONIC, but i think the synthesizer version from Halloween II (1981) is even spookier and creepier.

I must have been through ’bout a million girls
I love ’em and I leave ’em alone
I didn’t care how much they cried, no, sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell (pause) in love
Fooled around and fell in love.

Bledsoe got more tail in the nineties than a bus station toilet seat.

I have no idea what L.L. stands for.

‘Karon Prunty’ sounds like a woman who would send back a steak at an Outback.

Jay-Z pulled a Dick Cheney?

The Knicks actually raised the mid-season tournament banner as well? Leave it to the Knicks to ruin everything.

Coach Drip will be failing upwards to Chargers head coach very soon.

I know he’s won a championship and is one of the best players in the world, but I think this 3pm game on a Tuesday in October is Tatum’s legacy.

Coach Bill Belichick. Owning.

I mean, having listeners is nice, but it’s not the same as winning a Marconi Award.

Doubs needed a guardian cap for his torso and legs.

Honk if you remember Rocky Point Park.

Can Archie Manning send some of his goon squad to clean out the Parisian rioters before the Steelers/Saints game dimanche?

I need somebody way smarter than me to explain why the “exposure” of Dave Portnoy calling UConn-UMass the “cum bowl” is worth it.

Poor Jeff Howe. The guy has Vague Symptoms Syndrome.

I shouldn’t have put off taking the drive to see the Mysterious Hanging Boulder to 2027.

The Philadelphia Eagles try to kill any more of their players?

Best bet for the weekend: An early must-win game for both the Celtics and Knicks at the TD Garden.

“Is that Mikey Adams or Artie Lange?” – “Jon Eater-parel.” – “Gerry looks like the world’s longest living progeria patient.” – “Dennis looks like different parts of ancient corpses sewn together with new clothes from his closet.”

The Patriots red 1980s throwback uniforms are commonly called their “Pat Patriot” unis but the modern Flying Elvis mascot is still called Pat Patriot so technically their current unis are Pat Patriot too. Quite the conundrum.

Baseball truly is America’s game because it’s the only sport where sacrifices are built into the fabric of the game.

Well into October and Drake Maye still has some pretty good t-shirt tan lines going on his arms.

Are we supposed to say that some women at gyms don’t dress like whores?

Bad chirp.

I understand that several members of the 2001 Patriots left Gillette Stadium in tears thinking that Coach Belichick didn’t love them anymore because he didn’t send a video message.

Landman is the perfect name for a player who’s good at putting the ball on the ground.

I love how Ordway pats himself on the back as the reason WEEI was so popular when here’s the thing: all it was, was that there was no competition.

Would it kill her to go by Ann Maye?

I wish Bernie Brewer still slid into a mug of beer.

Cakes are cooking for Ralph Lauren, Billy Harrison, Justin Hayward, Dave Schultz, Katy Manning, Sheila Young Ochowicz, Marcia Barrett, Greg Evigan, Beth Daniel, Thomas Dolby, Isaac Mizrahi, Keith Byars, Lori Petty, Joe Girardi, Karyn White, Steve Coogan, Sylvain Lefebvre, Jim Jackson, Erika de Lone, Javon Walker, Usher, Jay Pharoah, and Jared Goff.

And there’s leftover cake in the break room from Bianca de la Garza’s birthday yesterday.

Brand new Garden floor this season. But tradition is important to the Celtics, so they’ve once again kept the bolts — even though they aren’t functional. (The boards fit together in sort of a tongue-and-groove manner.) The floor coating fills in the bolt gap, so it’s all smooth.

I think Greenwell tried to associate balding with wearing baseball hats.

Paul George is like a cat. He will jump in your lap every once in a while. He’s super lovable. Other times, you’re like, ‘Where’s Paul George?’ ‘Oh, he’s in the garage.’

Kelly Clarkson has put us all in danger.

Orange Line: Delays of about 20 minutes while personnel address a signal problem at Forest Hills. Trains may stand by at stations.

Ziegler, you’ve done it again!

Boystown is a throwback kind of place. I haven’t seen gaggles of gays in basic bars for a while.

Somebody cue up “Oklahoma! Where the wind comes right behind the rain.”

Source: UTEP over UTSA in a Secret Scrimmage.

RJ Mitte. Even Kendra mentioning the suicide hotline couldn’t stop him. Sad. RIP.

Honestly this Heat court, in the context of the rainbow going on everywhere else, is more Heat Culture than the literal “Heat Culture” court.

I was today years old when I learned what a scrimmage touchdown meant.

Pritch is back! Under contract for a two year extension!

George Lucas is upset that he didn’t think of Kindle Vildor as a Star Wars character name.

I’m not watching these Derrick White Pizza Shark commercials all season.

How many ‘K’s are there in Korn Ferry again?

Finally getting around to Ted Lasso’s newest season, and I can’t disagree more with the haters. It’s fine. It’s fun. It’s not meant to be an epic work of art. I will simply enjoy it.

Knock-knock! Who’s there? Richie Incognito! Richie Incognito who? EXACTLY.

The only person who cared more about a breakfast than Walt Jr. is Dan Shaughnessy.

Abby Chin did what Scal could never do… Disguise them titties in a flattering way.

Zolak didn’t have to make a Mazz apology? Weak.

Imagine being in eighth grade and your dad posts your school picture on Twitter for millions to see. And putting your kid’s picture on Twitter should be an automatic CPS visit.

I’m addicted to Bruins hockey and never sleeping more than 4 hours a night.

Love hurts, love scars

Love wounds and mars

Any heart

Not tough or strong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud

Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts

Ooh, ooh love hurts.

Bill Simmons thinks robbing graves in the cemetery is called “cradle robbing”?

Honk if you remember Quiznos.

As the million dollar man ted dibasie said they don’t ask how they won..it’s who won.

Salmon Capistrano!

Good to see Dr. Pappas and the crack Red Sox medical staff didn’t see Garrett Whitlock had a broken leg.

Never listen to football takes from a guy who wears more mascara than Tyra Banks.

Luckily for the GSW fans Al Horford will be able to fill in a few times a month for the ailing Kristaps Porzingis.

Natural athletes heal faster than gritty ones.

Tucker Carlson thinks Glenn Ordway has a small pool of podcast guests.

Best bet for the weekend. Contented coachmen in the aftermath of The Head of the Charles Regatta.

*Disgusting. The Patriots’ own website is counting how many beers Zolak is drinking during his segment with Vrabel.*

*And happy birthday to Czech supermodel Daniela Pestova.*

Me crying at my TV screen saying, “you’re still him, Drake. You’re still HIM!“

Wow. 75 years now since Bobby Thomson’s home run. And how about Dave Winfield being born that very day?

Sources close to Lane Johnson said he’s retiring to spend time around “fewer Italians.”

Wow, CBS fired Romo. He should go to Barstool and paint his face with Mut.

Celtics tickets for this coming season are flying off the proverbial shelf as usual.

I love that the Brewers’ pitching coach is named Chris Hook.

Usually I prefer nacho cheese Doritos but sometimes cool ranch hits the spot.

The Red Sox might as well be the pallbearers at my funeral…until my last breath they will let me down.

I hate Ross Tucker’s big, dumb voice. He has a ‘fat kid in middle school’ voice.

Putting on my best Carhartt polo to support my rape-victim friend.

That Patriots-Bills game was totally wild. It’s Ryan Murphy show level with bizarre occurrences.

My X account has been blocked by Dan Bongino and Martina Navratilova…

This weekend has all the potential for AC and heat in the same 24 hours. Mark my words.

Red Line Update: The delay has cleared.

Hey gang with their steamer trunks covered in destination stickers! This week’s Phrase that Pays is, “For a guy that’s been on eight teams in four years? I mean, I guess he knows the drill.”

You ever have a morning where you’re so tired that you pour your granola into your coffee?

I’m all set with the Teddy Swims White Claw commercials.

RIP Sam McDowell. I love Pat Jordan’s immortal line, sayin’ that McDowell’s pre-game warm-up sounded like “a small thunderstorm in the bullpen.”

Yankee fans must lead the league in backwards hat wearing.

I love how the NFL stadiums have the security stand on the sidelines facing the crowd, having no clue that people are about to fly into you and shred your knee.

Every time I see Chase Meidroth, I read it as ‘Cla Meredith.’

Tyquan Thornton…… oh man.

Look, there’s a lot of shit content out there. Hard to rise above the rest enough to get me to double take, but this vampire sitcom on CBS has done it.

Lots of bodegas in Weymouth, presumably.

Dondero is really the ultimate evolution of Felgerism. Just the extreme fluctuations of takes without any regard for what he said last week or even yesterday.

Or put another way, success is going from wild ass take to wild ass take without losing enthusiasm.

Hey buddy go bang a harlot and bother someone else or I will make sure X puts you in a corner.

Roger Goodell’s earned a lot of criticism, but keeping ads off game uniforms is one of the few things for which he deserves massive kudos.

What makes you sad, what makes you blue?
I’m all in rags with nothing to lose
We could traverse and find a way through
Land in the grass and start acting like fools.

You’re a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It’ll get you through tonight.

I would contribute to a GoFundMe for New Hampshire to get its own network TV affiliates so we wouldn’t have to watch election commercials for candidates we can’t vote for/against.

Sam Yarnell needs to boost his follower count, playboi.

Colson Yankoff, a TE and former 4-star high school QB, is now the emergency QB for Washington.

Honk if you remember Grossman’s.

Seeing Jaylen as a Sixer has pee pee river man Greenie losing control of all his bodily functions.

Hardy has burn-victim mouth.

One time on vacation I went to some butterfly reserve on the Dutch part of Saint Maarten. Asked them if they liked the band Crazy Town. They had no idea what I was talking about.

Get well soon, Marchy.

Romeo Doubs’ one-handed TD catch really got Farrah Fawcetted!

Do you think if more people in the Red Sox front office had played Horizon Zero Dawn they would have left Sonny Gray stay in and finish the inning?

Every loser crying about McDaniels was the same sack of shit up in the 300s back in the day that would cry when he’d run a draw on passing downs.

Best bet for the weekend: putting up the storm windows & taking in the potted plants and Christopher Columbus statues.

When Austin Wells drove in George Lombard, I said to myself, ‘Self; the Red Sox aren’t going to lose this game 1-0.’ And I was right!

Drake Maye has the grip strength of Stephen Hawking.

All lists are inherently awful.

Here’s hoping the Patriots follow the Bruins lead and beat the team from New York Sunday.

Pedro doesn’t age. The new Bobby Orr.

‘Angry Bill’ died? Like, recently, not ten years ago? RIP.

Why didn’t the umpire tell Verlander’s daughter to get the hell off the field?

I miss AJ’s gravity. That shit was real, bro.

Pro tip: Don’t post an old picture of yourself posing with a ‘Saved By the Bell’ actor. It doesn’t end well.

Roman Anthony is made of precious antique Murano glass.

Crockpot bags are the greatest invention.

Peyton Tolle is on the right side of being a weirdo, Triston Casas is on the wrong side.

Like boxing, styles make WNBA playoff series.

Love how they air the Protect College Sports Act ads like we get a chance to vote on it.

The Good Kid will make a great captain.

Green Line: Due to signal modernization work there is no service between North Station & Babcock St (B), Kenmore (C+D), & Heath St (E) through October 4. Use buses for service to Copley/Back Bay. Use Orange Line between Back Bay & North Station.

Bobby Manning always sounds like he just huffed a canister of computer duster.

That Madden trailer looks like a parody.

I’ve got Laura Rutledge bot looking accounts following me now on Instagram.

Fine, I’ll say it. The Brazilian national anthem stinks.

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Sex is great, but have you ever worn a sweatshirt?”

News Item: Bruins concession souvenirs this year include ice cream in goalie masks and draft beer in a hockey glove mug.

Zolak should check his tone. The only QB with worse ball security than Maye is his kid.

John Schreiber being on the Yankees playoff roster against the Red Sox isn’t something you can ever truly prepare for.

Hasselbeck doesn’t look so good. Hope he’s well.

Watched FLEABAG on Prime. Six 1/2 hour eps. Funny, raunchy, something very different. I dug it.

How is there no video of the Section 10 block party after the grand slam?

Andy Reid shouldn’t be in a commercial where they say ‘We’re a family again.’

John Mulaney is just Bowen Yang for bros. One note.

The thing that drives me nuts with Drake Maye is all these cvnts second guessed every decision made by Belichick, they lost their mind over every bad play out of Brady, Gronk, Gilmore or any other star. But Maye can suck for weeks on end and we’re doing fucking Zapruder film shit to prove it definitely wasn’t Drake’s fault!!

And while we’re at it, yeah, I’m this miserable in real life, Dan. I work for a fucking living and spend my off day walking the dog in the downpour, cleaning my basement, watching an abortion of a football game, and cooking a delicious goddamn dinner.

Well, you’re windy and wild
You got the blues in your shoes and your stockings

You’re windy and wild, oh, yeah

Eh. Scheduled loss.

Mainstream CFB writers being introduced to a BB team winning a rock fight is delightful. And 15-10 is like a perfect Belichick win. Pisses off exactly all the right people.

All these trust fund kids circle jerking over how little they made in their useless media jobs isn’t at all triggering.

They weren’t booing Páez, they were still cheering on Woo!

In the back of my mind I thought the Pro Bowl had been eliminated years ago.

Dolly held the exact same social and political views as me!

I’m not going to be used as a pawn as the two sides piss at each other. If a deal isn’t done by September 9th, then I’ll be livid.

Derek Jeter did not “dive into the stands” to catch a ball. He made a nice running catch in the playing field, and his momentum carried him into the stands. Nice play, but not heroic.

I don’t even know what Good Good is other than redundant.

Note to broadcasters especially in MLB. Please call players by their last names and not their first. Its Rafaela not Cedanne. The trend started years ago and it isn’t a good one.

Since Boston doesn’t have a WNBA team yet, I’ve adopted Golden State as my team strictly because of Veronica Burton. The Valkyries won their third straight last night, and @Veronicaab22 had 13 assists and 0 turnovers. She has 29 assists and 1 turnover during the win streak.
