BSJ Daily Briefing 08.03.17

Good morning!

Today, of course, is Tom Brady's 40th birthday. You'll be hearing about that a little bit today, I'm guessing.

Just a little heads up that we have a story from Sean McAdam posting at 6 a.m. that we think Red Sox fans will be interested. So stay tuned for that.

And away we go...

PLANET OF THE APPS

We can now say publicly that the BSJ iOS app is available for download. The early reviews are really good. No, we can't have the counter on the app. Just doesn't work there.

Let us know if there are any problems over at help@bostonsportsjournal.com (this should be your go-to address for any problems with the site).

You Android users, we have not forgotten about you. Your app should be dropping anytime now. I'm surprised it hasn't by now. Thanks for your patience.

And in case any of your friends are asking, the app is free and they can access anything on there. But reading the articles requires a subscription.

And while we're on the subject of emails, if you spot anything wrong (and as a small crew getting up to speed, we're going to have our share), drop us a line at typos@bostonsportsjournal.com.

LOOKING BACK

Red Sox

The Sox were postponed last night (when it had stopped raining, go figure).
Wonder if that limits the bounce the Sox get from that thrilling win the other night.

Patriots

Patriots were back at it, and the reviews were mixed. They still haven't found their groove yet.
Chris Price had an interesting chat with CB/PR Cyrus Jones. The kid is not afraid to be honest.
Former Patriots FB Heath Evans likes the look of this team and compares them to 2007.
I was on CSNNE last night with Tom E. Curran discussing Rob Gronkowski and a host of topics.

WHAT’S ON TAP

8:45 a.m.: Bill Belichick speaks, Gillette. (Price, Bedard)
9:15-11:30 a.m.: Patriots practice, Gillette. (Price, Bedard)
1:30 p.m.: Practice report should post (Price, Bedard)
7:08 p.m.: Indians at Red Sox, Fenway (McAdam)

PARTING THOUGHT

Tom, I got you a present.
