Part of Toucher & Hardy morning show on 98.5FM the Sports Hub. Fill in for Celtics Basketball. Voice of Bryant Men's Hoop. The guy on the left is more popular.
My big day is tomorrow, but, before it happens, I wanted to thank all of you.
Ever since I made my announcement on Wednesday, there have been more people than I can count who have contacted me, through text and on here, and wished me well. The support has been amazing.....
.....it blows me away that so many of you took the time to reach out and send so much positivity in my direction. All of your well wishes have been recieved and I’m grateful for each and every one of them.
Thank you.
Let’s do this.
I have been told that both the Celtics and the Pelicans will take 24 second violations to start the game to honor Kobe Bryant.
In addition, the Pelicans will have a 24 second moment of silence before the game.
Fan loyalty is really going to be put to the test in Foxboro later this month. Sitting in 10 degree weather to watch Tom Brady is one thing. Sitting on Route 1 for hours, and then in your seat for 3 more to see this is something different.
And that horrendous no call does indeed cost the Bruins the game, and, quite possibly, the season. A great job by the on ice official who looked right at it and won’t have to answer for his inactivity.
He's a legend, he's helped me more than I can say in my career, and he's a better person than a broadcaster.
Mike Gorman is the best there is.
I wish you well in your retirement.
Back in the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS with 4 players left over from last season and injuries across the board. But, by all means everyone, don’t vote for Brad Stevens for Coach Of The Year.
Once again, thanks to everyone who listened tonight, texted me and tweeted me. Your support was awesome and greatly appreciated.
The Celtics win game 7!!!!
Max: Tommy Heinsohn once put me alone in a gym after practice, and all I did was box out.
Me: Did it work?
Max: Do you see that number hanging over your head?
Nick Cafardo was a guy who helped me out back when I started off in this business and was trying to cover the Red Sox without embarrassing myself. He made coming to the ballpark a lot more fun.
He will be missed. RIP.
All of Bill's mistakes, and there have been many of them since TB12 left, have arrived today. Bad drafting, wasted $$$ in FA and a refusal to acquire impact offensive players have left this team without any help for a mediocre QB who is now scared, and lousy roster with no depth.
My 9-year-old son just monologued for 5 minutes while arguing that Zach Ertz is a better receiver that Michael Thomas. He talked about route running, receiver size and the quality of QB throwing to them.
He then left the table without finishing his dinner and I didn’t care.
Jaylen Brown on his IG live from Atlanta: "Being a celebrity, being an NBA player doesn't exclude me from no conversation at all. First and foremost I'm a black man and I grew up on this soil.”
You can’t bully this team. You haven’t been able to intimidate them. LeBron can’t outscore them and Ty Lue can’t out-think them.
Celtics 2, Cleveland 0.
Paul Pierce didn’t want to be a leader when he got here. He was also given the chance to leave.
He stayed, became the captain, and is one of the great players in the history of the best NBA franchise ever.
Congrats on your day,

Mookie Betts is a finalist for NL MVP after winning another World Series, and Tom Brady is about to destroy the Giants to go 6-2 on National TV.
It got dark at 5 today. No amount of deep breathing or meditation is going to solve this.
As for Rask, now that it seems like is family is safe, this choice is crap. You don’t quit on your team in the playoffs. Ever. He’ll be playing for someone else next season.
Look, regardless of my feelings about Dale, he is a local legend on both radio and television. That's a fact, and it's also a more than a lot of people can say in this market. I wish him well in his retirement.
There’s no positive spin for this. There’s nothing you can say to make me believe this team will be ok.
This offense is a disaster, and the defense just got punked by back-ups, led by a quarterback they didn’t want.
Assuming he retires now, I feel just awful for Patrice Bergeron. A class act for his entire career, a sure shot HOF'er, the best defensive forward in NHL history and The Captain of the best regular season team ever. He deserved far better than this on his way out.
Streamers and confetti drop from the ceiling after the Bucks win.....GAME 3 OF ROUND 1 OF THE PLAYOFFS WHEN THEY ARE BEHIND IN THE SERIES.
You cannot scream minor league any louder than that.
Boston College 60, defending National Champion Virginia 53.
UVA was 11-2 entering the evening.
An actual college basketball story in a town that largely ignores it.
This doesn't mean the Celtics can beat this team in the playoffs, and it doesn't mean that they're the best team in the NBA, but it DOES mean they're legit.
So the Bruins gave up a low first round pick, Spooner and Beleskey, and still have Carlo, Donato, DeBrusk, Zboril, Lauzon, Bjork and last years
#1
pick for young, cheap talent?
I’m good.
The Bruins are better than this team. They have a more talented roster and have clearly played better tonight. Yet, here we are. It’s beyond frustrating to watch.
According to

, Curt Schilling has declined the Red Sox invitation to honor the 20th anniversary of the 2004 champs, along with the passing of Tim and Stacy Wakefield.
