Good morning!
A few random thoughts while I wonder if the MLB season has really started (great marketing job you guys)...
- Ho hum. Another game, another five spot for the Bruins. The Friends of Charlie Coyle are looking pretty good.
- Still, I wouldn't go too overboard about the scoring just yet. Playoffs are a completely different animal.
- Now that Stephon Gilmore's contract has created more cap space, look for Stephen Gostkowski to be wrapped up soon. Hopefully, there's a little left over for a WR move. Can you imagine if the Patriots twice restructured Gilmore's contract and only got a kicker out of it?
- Red Sox are still tweaking their bullpen.
- Love this time of year. March Madness. Hockey East semifinals, followed by NCAA hockey regionals, baseball opening day next week, Masters closing in...
- Some people are all upset about Tom Izzo's behavior yesterday. Talk about soft...
Here's Tom Izzo's full explanation about Aaron Henry, why he went after him, and his evaluation of the results.
And included is the answer to a question from @TheSpartanMag about going to Henry late. pic.twitter.com/7KigXeMljD
