Now: @BostonGlobe, @BDCSports, @SeamansMedia. Then: @bostonherald, @southcoasttoday. Terrier. May one day start to take myself seriously, but I doubt it.

The nature of post-2018 #RedSox baseball makes it pretty rough to trust anything about this run they're on.

Increasingly, though, I think it's important to try. Because something's happening, and that might be most (if not all) that matters.

@JordanChabot It is now!

I'd like to think anyone paying attention had long understood "talking about sports" and "sports radio" are two separate things now, each with their own place.

Rarely, though, is it made this hilariously clear.

Thanks for having us, @FelgerAndMazz

Please warp me into the marketing meetings where Car Shield ended up paying all of Ice T, Ric Flair, Jeremy Roenick, Marcelo Mayer, and Curt Schilling as endorsers, please.

They called it The Athletic. (Perhaps not in literal word and limited to sports, but still.)

Some tech bros are going to start a newspaper, call it something stupid and try to say they "solved" news, aren't they?

"We really felt traditional newspapers were orthagonal to user engagement, so we built our own way to newsmaxx!"

Definitely front of mind in a snowstorm, but before too long, grass will be back at Gillette Stadium for most of the year.

Profiteering horseshit of the highest order every time they do it.

Lucky for them, it drops a little lower on the profiteering horseshit leaderboard every successive time, because there's no shortage of alternatives making a run for the top spot.

It's a uniform matchup so beautiful they should have sent a poet. Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes will host the Colorado Avalanche with both clubs wearing the uniforms of their past homes - the Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers. What do you think, is this fair or foul?

After reading through the 33-page term sheet for the Chiefs' new stadium in Kansas, I think it's one of the most lopsided stadium deals in NFL history.

Kansas is essentially giving the Chiefs $3 billion (stadium funding + mixed-use development funding + tax incentives), yet getting virtually nothing in return.

The Chiefs get to keep 100% of the revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships, naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies to NFL games and all other events (concerts, basketball games, etc.).

Kansas will own the stadium, with the Chiefs paying $7 million in rent annually. But that money doesn't go back to the state; it goes into an account the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operational expenses.

That means the Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security, parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.

I know Kansas had to offer a great deal to get the Chiefs to leave Arrowhead, but this is worse than I expected.

Here's a full breakdown of everything I found in the term sheet: https://t.co/vtJ6S8DwOx

Put the crayon logo on the chest, you cowards.

It feels like I will impulse buy this regardless.

Thoughts on the leak?

[Jon Couture @JonCouture]

The Thunder still have a logo that looks like the placeholder logo a city uses when it hasn't figured out its name yet.

Stuck with it now!

In 2007, got pulled with a few other reporters to do a Japanese TV segment about Matsuzaka. It was ask a question, hold up a little sign with a happy/sad type thing on it, then answer.

Remember thinking, "This feels very goofy Japanese TV."

NESN now does it every night.
