@ByMarkDaniels Gonzalez did an excellent job on Harrison, the consensus choice as the best WR in the '24 draft. Gonzalez and rookie QB Drake Maye are the top two of what, sadly, are only a very few @Patriots players worth watching this sorry season. #NFL
Sources: The Ivy League has agreed to participate in the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs, starting with the 2025 season. The league had long ended its season at the end of the regular season. Marks a distinct shift for Ivy League football, which can now play for national title.
@ross_roger8931@Patriots Au contraire. Belichick is ONE OF the greatest coaches of all-time, a ranking earned by his Super Bowl victories. But he's not the GOAT, because of his inability to win without #TomBrady. As a personnel guy, he was indeed mediocre, as the rapid decline of @Patriots shows.
#JerodMayo is the latest in a looong list of former assistants to #BillBelichick who have struggled to win as #NFL head coaches, joining the likes of Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Eric Mangini, Romeo Crennell, Joe Judge, Brian Daboll, and Brian Flores. Doesn't speak well for BB.
@Luke2315yee@sdinwoodie88 True. But @Patriots didn't make the playoffs and, as noted, Belichick won just 1 postseason game in 11 seasons without #TomBrady as QB. Parcells, for example, won two SBowls with different QBs, took @Patriots to a Super Bowl with Bledsoe at QB, and got Jets to AFC title tilt.
@Luke2315yee Given the track record, why would you hire a Belichick assistant? BTW, without Tom Brady at QB, Belichick won exactly one playoff game in 11 seasons. In contrast, Joe Gibbs won Super Bowls with Joe Theismann, Doug Williams, and Mark Rypien at QB. Make of that what you will. #NFL
First, there were major problems with the Washington Bridge. Now, The RiBridges system was hacked and the personal data of hundreds of thousands of Rhode Islanders was stolen by cybercriminals. I'd say it's a bridge too far to expect @GovDanMcKee to be re-elected.
To win a Super Bowl, it helps to be lucky - particularly in regard to injuries - as well as good. Would love to see @Lions play for the #NFL title, but think they're too banged up to get to the Big Game.
@ScottCordischi@Patriots@AZCardinals Check out Army's success rate on 4th down this season. It's a legitimate option. Wouldn't do it every time, because sneak can be effective, but offers legitimate chance not only for first down, but also for bigger gain than possible with scrum in pileup in middle of the line.
Been a lot of chat on "X," wondering why @Patriots didn't have rookie Drake Maye try QB sneak on short yardage vs. @AZCardinals. How about letting him run out of the shotgun in that situation, like Army QB Bryson Daily?
Kristaps Porzingis isn't the definition of "durable." Among the amazing things about #TomBrady is that, with the exception of the '08 season, he NEVER missed a start because of injury in his 23-year, #NFL career. Some guys are distressingly "injury-prone." @Celtics@Patriots
Although they're in the same state, @NDFootball and @IndianaFootball have played just once since 1958, and that was back in 1991. The Irish & Hoosiers did play regularly in the '50s. Notre Dame has played much more often against another instate rival - @BoilerFootball
Once was an NCAA hoops coach who, when asked at press conference at regionals if, in his wildest dreams, he ever thought his team would reach the Elite Eight, replied: "My wildest dreams aren't about basketball."
Had a bizarre dream last night…
Was given the opportunity to start a final Spring Training game for the Red Sox against the Orioles in Sarasota, FL. Went 8 strong innings and had a single at the plate.
But - we ended the game after top 9 because I couldn’t find my glove!😳⚾️😂
