Good morning!
A few random thoughts while I wonder how if the Patriots conduct their kicking competition America Idol-style with Bill Belichick, Ernie Adams and Nick Caserio as judges ...
- Bruins will open up the season tonight in Dallas. Conor has 10 questions ... and answers. And more on the way.
- I really dug into the Patriots' line play and blocking overall to separate fact from fiction. This group is doing a better job than most give them credit for.
- Apparently Gordon Hayward looks like a complete stud at Celtics camp ... yeah, let's take that one slow.
- Stephen Gostkowski went on IR with the injury that we all figured was there but no one said anything.
- The Rays won last night with the smallest payroll. Where's the team with the largest payroll?
- The A's bowed out of the playoffs meekly again last night. When does Billy Beane just have enough of not having the infrastructure to compete? He passed on the Red Sox once, it's time to just do the thing once and for all.
Time to hit the links...
