Good morning!
Your daily rundown of what’s going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what’s about to happen…
After New England pulled off an impressive win over the Ravens at a water-logged Gillette Stadium, Greg takes a look at some of the more unheralded players that played a major role in Sunday’s victory — including Rex Burkhead, Ryan Izzo and James White.
Meanwhile, both Chase Winovich and Kyle Dugger turned heads with their play against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' shifty offense.
The week of reckoning is here for the NBA — with teams given the green light to trade players on Monday, the NBA Draft scheduled for Wednesday and free agency commencing on Friday. With the Bucks reportedly acquiring both Jrue Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic, B-Robb raises the question — should the Celtics explore a mega-deal for James Harden?
B-Robb also takes a look at what’s going to be a pivotal week for Gordon Hayward and the C’s.
The annual voting ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was announced on Monday — and the list is … underwhelming, to say the least. There stands a chance we could not have any new additions to the Hall for the fourth time in the past 50 years (1971, 1996 and 2013).
Sean will also take your questions on the Red Sox and MLB later today.
The Bruins unveiled their new “Reverse Retro” jersey for the 2020-21 season — bringing back those classic sweaters from the Bourque/Neely era, albeit with a bit of a twist. It sure beats the “Pooh Bear” jersey, that’s for sure.
