BSJ Daily Briefing 10.13.17: Don't do this

Oct 13, 2017 • 8:34 am

Good morning on this Friday the 13th ... if you survive it.

Little lull here in the schedule after The Firing, the Bruins don't have a game in the desert, the Celtics start next week and the Patriots are waiting on the Jets.

Looking for a little levity? How about this story in which Roger Goodell's wife admitted to having an anonymous Twitter account to defend her husband.

Well, I can see Roger's getting great advice at home if he's using his wife as a sounding board on touchy subjects. I'm shocked he usually steps in doo-doo with important decisions.

This was a terrible decision on many levels, but we'll start here: did Jane Skinner Goodell actually think she was going to make a difference? What would ever make you think, "OK, this would be a really good idea"? The ironic thing is, she used to be in the media!

Who's going to New Jersey?

We have a lot of BSJ members and fans in the NY/NJ Metro area (it's our second home). Anyone having a tailgate that Chris Price and I could stop by? We'd love to pop in and say hi. Let us know.
