BSJ Holiday Weekend Briefing 09.04.20: Celtics lose a crusher, but are still the better team; Patriots cuts coming; Chara wants to be back taken at BSJ Headquarters (Regular Features)

Good afternoon!

Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen, for BSJ members only  ...


  • The Celtics completely screwed up the final .5 seconds of Game 3 so instead of this series being over, the Raptors are still in it...

  • ... technically. Look, the Celtics didn't even play all well and the Raptors still needed to give everything they had to win this game.

  • Celtics in 5.

  • I gave my final take on the Patriots' cuts ... practice squad and IR rules will be a major factor.

  • Red Sox had a no-hitter for six innings ... and still lost.

  • Is JD Martinez staying?

  • Conor Ryan thinks the Bruins should want to bring back Zdeno Chara ... I love Big Z, but I'm moving on. Are the Bruins really winning a Cup next season? If the answer is likely a no, then why keep Chara around? Don't let him stunt the growth of another player. The Bruins should be on more of a 3-5 year plan.

  • Just a heads up, things are usually a little slower on the weekends around here, and that will continue to through Labor Day. For me personally, I need to lay a little lower to rest up for the NFL season. I'll pen a column later today, the NFL Notebook and will be all over the cuts on Saturday ... Sunday and Monday will be a little slower. Thanks!

  • Have a great weekend. Let's all recharge for the Patriots' start to the season!
