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...
- Bruins home opener, baby! The boys are back in town! Maybe they'll celebrate with their first 5v5 goal of the season. Well, we can dream...
- The teams Patriots fans should be rooting for to make bold QB moves.
- Primer on the QB team market.
- Eagles GM Howie Roseman picked neophyte Colts OC Nick Sirianni as his next head coach over Josh McDaniels. That means, unless something changes in Houston, that McDaniels will be back at Patriots OC in 2021.
- Celtics fell the Sixers.
- I enjoyed the flail-off between Joel Embiid and Marcus Smart.
- Blue Jays are making moves ... Sox? Not so much.
