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...
- Kind of excited the NHL is back with a tripleheader tonight ... Bruins practicing for final time today before tomorrow's opener vs. Devils.
- Ondrej Kase ... x-factor?
- Sean McAdam is all over the Andrew Benintendi trade news.
- I'm liking where this is going for the future of the Sox. Seems like there's a market.
- Patriots finished first in Goose Gosselin's annual special teams rankings. So they've got that going for them.
- Jerod Mayo is interviewing for the Eagles' head coaching job. No, I don't think he's a serious candidate, but reps are always good because he will be a head coach at some point. And I would stay the hell away from that situation in Philly. Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman are looking for a puppet.
- Dave Ziegler staying is huge for the Patriots. Updated with a quote on Ziegler's possible dynamic with Bill Belichick.
- Felger & Mazz stint
- Patriots pod with lots of Patriots free agent and NFL playoffs talk.
- Are the Celtics ever going to play again?
