@SeanGrandePBP Are you and Max planning to do any summer hot stove Celtics shows on 98.5? Given the events of the week it sure feels like time to bring this feature back to the radio airwaves.
Nothing but love for you JB! 🍀
Thank you for everything you gave to the city of Boston and this franchise!
Wishing you nothing but success in the next chapter of your career! 🫡
50 YEARS AGO today... John Havlicek and Gar Heard came up CLUTCH in Game 5 of the 1976 NBA Finals 🤯
▪️ Havlicek off the glass with 2 seconds on the clock
▪️ Heard responds with a turnaround jumper to force triple OT
The Celtics topped the Suns in 3OT, taking a 3-2 series lead!
This team began the season with an entirely new pitching staff and half the lineup positions filled by underclassmen
Early results were inconsistent, but they built the plane as they flew it, and proved that this program’s golden era is very much ongoing

Stephen Colbert got his band to play licensed music during his final show so CBS would be sued for using the music illegally.
“Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!”
Wow. In one of the most emotional moments in television history, Stephen Colbert signs off his show’s last opening monologue by sharing that he realized his job was to “feel the news” with us.
What a class act and an extraordinary person. Thank you Stephen.
Roger Clemens set the major league strikeout record 40 years ago today.
Nobody has worn 21 since he left Boston 30 years ago. It’s time to officially retire his number.
