Good morning!
A few random thoughts while we count down the hours until the end of the Patriots dynasty (sarcasm font):
- So it was a rough 24 hours for the Patriots with a bunch of defections ... Big deal, they're still really good. Work to do on defense.
- Rough loss by the Celtics last night. I know they were missing half their roster but how many opportunities did they have to win the game?
- Not going to blame Marcus Morris much for this play at the end of regulation. Just a brain fart. You see a guy going wide-open to the hoop, your instinct is to flash.

- Hoping to catch some of the NCAA tournament games. Kind of embarrassing but I haven't filled out a bracket in years because I never have a chance to watch games during the regular season. Fun fact: back in the heyday of newspapers when they had money and actually added people, I would get paid to watch the NCAA tournament all day on TV and write about it. Best job I ever had.
- Go Rhody.
