From sleeping in a closet as an OSU student assistant to becoming Mike Vrabel's most trusted football advisor, it's been a long journey to Foxborough for John “Stretch” Streicher. What makes this “rising star” so vital to New England's head coach?

“This guy is going to run an organization one day.”
John Streicher is Mike Vrabel’s version of Ernie Adams, and that’s not all: ‘This guy is going to run an organization one day’ - The Boston Globe
The 35-year-old never played football in college, but climbed the ranks alongside Mike Vrabel after the two met at Ohio State. Now, he's Vrabel's right-hand man in New England.

Two things:

• The players aren’t (at least publicly) looking at the rest of the schedule as easy or hard. Garrett Bradbury told me: “If we start thinking about the strength of schedule, we’re in trouble.”

• Love the historical comp to the '98 Cards provided by @aaronschatz.com. Jake Plummer FTW!

An extraordinarily well-done story that rises to the moment. Everyone knows the outcome, but this digs deeper. Really well-written and well-reported, it's the sort of piece that only a beat writer like Matt can tell because of the relationships built in the clubhouse over time. Great stuff.

More than an hour after it happened, Orion Kerkering went back to the dugout. He was alone. Then, someone put his arm around him. The Phillies shared a collective pain because it felt like more than a season had just ended. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...
Phillies share the pain after Orion Kerkering’s error leads to crushing elimination loss
Inside the clubhouse, there was shock, anger, concern for the young reliever — and a sense that something more than a season had ended.

Craig Woodson is on pace to be the first Patriots’ rookie defensive player to play 90-plus percent of snaps in his first year since Devin McCourty.

I talked to the New England legend today about what he likes about the rookie safety.
A matter of trust: Devin McCourty impressed by early gains of Patriots rookie Craig Woodson - The Boston Globe
McCourty likes what he's seen so far from Woodson, a rookie safety who has played a team-high 97.4 percent of the defensive snaps.
