What a start to the season for the Boston Bruins and a great coaching debut for Marco Sturm. David Pastrnak and Jeremy Swayman both played incredible. Fourth line was very impressive. Nice work, boys! #NHLBruins

Who will score the first goal of the season for the Boston Bruins?

I’m taking Taylor Jeannot in a coin flip over Viktor Arvidsson. #NHLBruins

Not a fan of these silver helmets on the Los Angeles #Kings. That is about the most polite way to put it. #COLvsLA

I root against the New York Yankees as much as anyone, but anybody trying to claim that Aaron Judge is not awesome is just lying. #NYYvsTOR

Fun Fact: No matter which team wins the 2025 World Series, the franchise with the most 21st Century championships will still be the Boston Red Sox.

As I’ve stated before, once the Red Sox got eliminated from the playoffs I root for the teams with the longest championship droughts. That means, as of now, I am pulling for an MLB final four of:

ALCS: Blue Jays vs. Mariners
NLCS: Brewers vs. Phillies

Stefon Diggs is on pace for 99 receptions and 1,221 yards this season. Those totals have only been accomplished 3 times in #Patriots history:

2009 Wes Welker
2011 Wes Welker
2012 Wes Welker

Amazing how many people have forgotten how awesome Wes Welker was in New England.

Only 5 comedians surprised me by performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival:

• Bill Burr
• Pete Davidson
• Hannibal Buress
• Zarna Garg
• Jessica Kirson

With that said, if the performers feel comfortable about their decisions, I guess that’s all that counts for them.

I scouted Drake Maye a ton before the 2024 NFL Draft and ranked him No. 1 overall. One interesting thing I noted was how good he was throwing while rolling out to his left. Last night he consistently rolled right and was awesome. The best is still ahead.

College Basketball 🏀 definitely used to be better, as evidenced by this 1991 All-American roster. Top 25 players in the country. There are no freshmen and only two sophomores (Kenny Anderson and Shaq). Made the NBA Draft better too since more players were ready to come in and play.

It is impossible to compete for NFL Championships without an elite quarterback unless there is a virtually perfect roster around them.

The Patriots have an elite quarterback in Drake Maye.

Tomorrow I’ll walk 27.5 miles in the Jimmy Fund Walk for the 8th time to raise money for cancer research. With my oldest child (leukemia), wife (breast cancer) & many friends/family having to battle cancer, this feels like the least I can do. Please support my efforts! Link to donate in comments…

3. #Tigers
4. #BlueJays
5. #Phillies
6. #Cubs
7. #Dodgers 
8. #Yankees

*No titles

The 2025 New York Yankees are better than the 2025 Boston Red Sox.

Yankees advance to the ALDS to face the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Red Sox offseason begins now.

Connelly Early deserved better from his Red Sox teammates tonight. #BOSvsNYY

It’s only 2-0 Yankees lead and it’s only the 4th inning. Breathe Red Sox Nation.

Imagine if the umpire hadn’t called Bogaerts out looking on that pitch outside of the strike zone. Would be bases loaded and nobody out right now. #SDvsCHC

Red Sox lost Game 2 because they made too many mistakes to deserve to win.

Game 3 decides who advances.

Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores was trying to get them to send Eaton home there.

Shoutout to Steven Matz on a job well done. #RedSox
