I want to thank the wonderful staff at

, her physician Dr. Brian Wolpin and his team for their expert & compassionate treatment that resulted in the precious extra time we had with Mom.
Jack Edwards on NESN right now.
A brave man explaining how he struggles with forming words. Its hard not to get emotional seeing someone honestly talking about why things out of their control are causing them to step away from doing something they clearly love.
Brady & Belichick had 20 seasons together.
6 seasons longer than Chuck Knoll & Terry Bradshaw.
Twice as long as Bill Walsh & Joe Montana.
4 times longer than Jimmy Johnson & Troy Aikman.
Instead of bitching about how it ended we should be amazed of how long it lasted.

Bruins lose Krug for nothing.
Resign Kevan Miller for more than Zach Bogosian.
And lose out on Taylor Hall to America's colon.
Not the best way to start free agency.
Adding Dimitri Orlov, Garnet Hathaway and Tyler Bertuzzi.
Only subtracting Craig Smith from the roster.
Not losing a single significant prospect in the process.
Win now. Win tomorrow.
I love it.
If the Bruins had better GMs during his career and an owner who was a bigger fan of Hockey than the bottom line, Tuukka Rask would be universally celebrated in this town.
The Red Sox not showing the Orsillo video comes down to 1 thing. The front office is still mad that fans still love Don, and not the android they replaced him with.
They think it makes them look bad.
They are right. It does.
This makes them look even worse.
Hard Pass.
Why would Bettman want to be 4th or 5th banana at ESPN when the NHL is clearly flagship programming for NBC? The money isn't worth your fans having to watch games on ESPN+² because you were bumped for a WNBA game.
ESPN is increasingly interested in bidding for the NHL’s U.S. media rights when the league’s deal with NBC expires following next season.
Another good scoop from

No holding call on the 3rd down Vikings TD to Hockerson
No holding call on the kick return TD
Overturn obvious TD catch by Henry.
21 point swing from poor officiating tonight... And counting.
Almost an hour in. One thing is clear.
Roger Goodell is more concerned with getting his ad buy requirements met for a prime time broadcast than making the right decision for the Bills, the Hamlin family or anyone involved.
The Anti-Rask people are having a field day.
By solely blaming Rask you are letting the GM off the hook for badly mismanaging the D, the bottom 6 and aside from Craig Smith , the entire offseason.
Monday marked 3 years without booze for me, in an effort to be healthier, mentally and physically.
The benefits have been gradual but welcome. I thank all those who have helped me and salute everyone else on a similar journey. Much love to you all.
Troy Vincent frames Brady by giving Mort bad info on the ball PSI and then changes the catch rule on the fly in the Philly Superbowl.
Does any of that fall under the RICO act?
Best team in the NHL vs. the Best player in the NHL tonight.
And its not on either National Broadcast partner of the
@NHL
or local rights carriers.
Gary Bettman shooting his league in the ass once again.
With the latest revelations of the NFL deliberately framing the Patriots, it's confirmed that, after their 1st three Superbowls, in addition to the other 31 teams, the Patriots were also completing against the league office.
They still managed to win another 3 Superbowls.
BTW Sweeney and Neely look like total snakes now.
They signed Kevan Miller on October 9th.
They let Chara twist in the wind for EIGHTY THREE DAYS before letting him know they are moving on?
After 14 years of service to the team this is how you treat him?
REAL BAD LOOK.
The Hall trade completely reset the Bruins forward lines.
Marchand Bergeron Pasta was reunited. Krejci gets a LW who improves himself & Smit, finally making this line dangerous. Coyle & Lazar center the bottom six who now have wings battling for ice time every night.
Perfect.
Just a reminder. Toews and Kopitar, who many people like to put ahead of Bergeron, never won a single playoff series after they turned 26.
At 27 and 33 Bergeron took his team to two Cup Finals.
He did more with less than any other centerman of his era.
For perspective.
The Bruins just signed a 25 minute a night top pairing capable defenseman, who is an all round all situations player, locked up for the same AAV the blues gave to Torey Krug two summers ago.
Very good contract.
Peyton Manning (probably) sexually harrassed a trainer in College.
Peyton Manning (probably) used his wife as a PED mule for HGH
Peyton Manning (probably) used insider information to dump Papa Johns.
And Brady's the "Bad Guy".
Felger on Foligno being included in the deal "That's assuming a lot of money!"
Not knowing Foligno is a UFA tells you all you need to know about how much attention he pays to the NHL.
If Gronk does un-retire and comes back at the end of the season and helps the Patriots win another Superbowl you can bet the NFL will try and make a rule that prevents that from ever happening again.
Dominate the NFL for 20 years and then at the first real adversity this century and it's jersey burning time? This is Jets fans territory. Donate it, someone less fortunate would probably love to have it. And try not to act like a spoiled child.
This is the state of the Patriots right now. I actually couldn’t believe it when I got sent this video.
@driscoll78
&
@conn33ly
are two of the biggest Pats fans I know. I got a message with the video saying “Babz. It’s over. Im done with it.”
I can’t blame anyone for their

When YOU are "outraged" by acts of kindness, YOU are the problem & YOU should be shunned by the community.
Three more days till New Hampshire political ads stop.

Three more days till New Hampshire political ads stop.
With all due respect to the Islanders and Bruins, I have a feeling we will be witnessing Crosby-Ovechkin, Part 5, this spring. As usual, it wouldn’t be boring.
He is the best two way forward in league history and he won a Cup in spite of the having a terrible GM, followed by an average one.
Bergeron hasn't underachieved, his front office has.
1st ballot Hall of Fame player.
Jeremy Jacobs is worth roughly 3.5 billion dollars.
A $1.5 million donation is about
.00043% of that net worth.
It's like someone making 75K donating $32. And it's still a CONDITIONAL donation.
The Jacobs Family doesn't care about fans, workers or their hockey team.
If you are more worried about Tuukka Rask than the fact that the Caps played the Bruins similarly to how the St. Blues did in the Finals, to familiar results, you aren't paying attention.
October 17, 2004:
@davidortiz
walks it off in B12 to give Red Sox a 6-4 win over the Yankees in G4 of the ALCS and cut the Yankees series lead to 3-1.
The Red Sox would go on to win three straight after this to win the series 4-3.
Remember when one of the two refs who just got caught fixing a game looked right at a blatant slewfoot in the finals and called nothing?
@PepperidgeFarm
remembers.
If it's at little cost why not?
Sometimes, a guy like Joe, a great vet who hasn't won it or is about to hang em up, becomes a galvanizing figure for a team.
Think Ray with Avs, Lanny w/Calgary, Recchi w/B's or Timo with the Hawks.
Joe wins it in Boston? It would be epic.
Are these the last days of Joe Thornton on the Sharks?
NHL executives believe the Bruins and Avalanche make sense as a fit for him if the Sharks trade the franchise legend
I have said this before but I will repeat it now.
The Carolina Hurricanes repeated use of the Hartford Whalers uniforms is a joke.
Karmanos abandoned loyal die hard hockey fans in CT and relocated them to one of Bettman's southern gimmick markets.
Those colors should stay in CT.
Bill Belichick will go down as the greatest coach in NFL history and the architect of a 20 year 6 Championship Dynasty.
The New England Patriots and their fans have been spoiled to have Bill Belichick coaching and building teams for the last two decades.
Thank you Bill.
The Bruins lost:
Bergeron
Krejci
Hall
Bertuzzi
Nosek
Foligno
Orlov
Clifford
Hathaway
And replaced them with 7 million in free agents.
It's clearly bridge year and this team has exceeded expectations so far.
The obvious fraud at the end of that Superbowl just makes me appreciate the fact that my Patriots were able to win SIX Superbowl titles in spite of a league designed around parity and a front office/commisioner/officiating corps that are blatantly corrupt.
Krieder - Didn't Move.
Palmieri - Didn't Move.
Pageau - Went for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd* All Set.
Prices were completely inflated and out of control and the Bruins got two young guys under team control with upside and set themselves up nicely for next season.
I am content.
I love Jarome Iginla. Always will. But look at what he did at the end of his career. He cashed in with Colorado when there was little chance of them winning a Cup. Chara has already won a Cup, and he is 100% leaving millions on the table to win another. That's a leader.
Don Shula coached 13 seasons with Dan Marino and 7 seasons with Johnny Unitas at QB and won a single championship, in those 20 years. And his QB that season was Earl Morrall.
But Bill Belichick is somehow stumbling to the finish line...
The Bruins spent 1st round picks on Zboril and Vaakanainen. They were deemed worse options than Jared Tinordi, a desperation waiver claim.
That's a big indictment of a team that was willing to let Chara walk to go with Kevan Miller and the kids.
I like Jack Edwards.
I will always like Jack Edwards.
He is the kind of fun home town announcer that has thrived in the NHL for years and his passion for the sport is second to none.
Thanks,
Mike
Jan 12th, Michael Pezzetta blatantly boarded John Moore, who hasn't played a shift since.
@NHLPlayerSafety
did nothing.
Feb 1st, Yani Gourde blatantly boarded Urho Vaakanainen, who hasn't played a shift since.
@NHLPlayerSafety
did nothing.
Marchand getting 6 games is a joke.
