Good morning!
Some random thoughts after digging out from another storm (and apparently there's another on the way)....
- Great stuff from the Boston College men at the ACC tournament as they downed fifth-seeded N.C. State 91-87 and will face the No. 4 seed, Clemson, at 2 p.m. on ESPN2.
- Great work by coach Jim Christian and the squad. This is the first time the Eagles have won two games at the tournament since 2006, and BC's 19 wins are its most since the 2010-11 season.
- The Eagles are hot offensively, as they have averaged 83.5 points and 48.2 percent shooting over their past five games. Nic Popovic is averaging 17.5 points in the tournament.
- Jerome Robinson is some player. He is the sixth Eagle to earn first team all-ACC honors, and he was runner-up for ACC player of the year.
- As far as the NFL and free agency, I have a hard time seeing anyone trading for Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. Not only is coming off a torn right Achilles, he just had a procedure on the other one. He'd be a much cheaper alternative before camp for the Patriots. Sign me up.
- The Patriots are close to the cap room they would have needed temporarily to tag and trade Jimmy Garoppolo if they didn't trade him during the season. Releasing or restructuring Dwayne Allen will get them there. Funny how that worked out.
- If you still maintain the Patriots couldn't do that (even thought they did it with Matt Cassel and could have worked out a Garoppolo trade at this combine, or at least knew where they stood), think about this. Bill Belichick thinks of everything right? He never does anything without a plan and various strategies for different situations that arise, right? So after not even entertaining any Garoppolo trades in the offseason, and trading Jacoby Brissett before the season, what would the Patriots have done had Tom Brady been injured this season and Garoppolo had to finish the year? They would have kept him, obviously, and if Brady was healthy again, would have tagged and traded Garoppolo. So why wouldn't they do that here.
Repeated logins have become less and less of an issue, though we still hear from some readers about them. We’re working toward a permanent solution, but it won’t be quick as it goes to the very foundation of the site.
That said, here are two common specifics that cause this:
1. Make sure your mobile browser is set to accept cookies. Our app is rooted in a browser. If cookies are shut off, repeated logins will be a must.
2. If you share your subscription with someone else — and I heard yet another example of this just yesterday — you’ll get logged out every time they get logged in, and vice versa. The only solution for that, obviously, is for the other person to get their own subscription.
