Jim Rice was my favorite MLB player growing up and always will be.
But Dave Parker was always on my list of favs, as well.
RIP to a Pirates and MLB legend! Condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.

In my first year (2017) covering the #Patriots, I was granted a quick 1-on-1 interview with then-rookie Deatrich Wise, Jr.
We spoke about his time at Arkansas and his excitement and pride for being a Patriot
A true leader on and off the field!
Best of luck in DC, Deatrich!

The #Patriots dismal performance in the latest NFLPA survey saw them rank no higher than 18th in any overall category.
