--The Red Sox continued paring their roster in advance of Opening Day on Thursday. Sean also has a dynamite story where Chili Davis responded to John Henry that you should read.
--Bill Belichick talked Tuesday morning at the NFL owners' meetings, a Q&A that just wrapped up with reporters. Greg is on the scene, and will have all the details from that along shortly.
