Turned off Red Sox with one out in third to clean up kitchen, bring out trash, etc. I came back 40 minutes later and there were ... two outs in the third.

25 years ago tonight, Richie Aprile sat down to enjoy a home cooked meal with his fiancée, Janice Soprano. It did not end well.

One thing I've always appreciated about Bertucci's is the uniformity of their pizzas. Each slice is calibrated to the ounce. These two slices, for instance, are indistinguishable.

Walker Buehler joked with Roman Anthony that he needed to get coffee for the whole team––plus coaches and staff. 76 coffees, a declined credit card, one messed up order and a VERY slow drive to the ballpark later, the Red Sox had their caffeine. How it all went down www.nytimes.com/athletic/619...

A subtle but very cool thing. Chris Sale did a Luis Tiant windup impersonation on his first pitch of today's game to Jarren Duran.

Steph Curry made his 4,000th career 3-pointer tonight. Larry Bird attempted 1,700 in his career. I'd still take prime Larry over anyone except Jordan, but Curry is the greatest shooter of all time.

On this date in 1986, Larry Bird goes 12 for 13 and gives the Spurs 33. 31 coming in the first half. Yowza!

Per league source, the Patriots have reached out to Cooper Kupp. It is believed the wideout would prefer to stay on the West Coast, but he hasn't closed any doors.

Patriots understand the realities of their situation. It's been bleak the last couple years, and the Vrabel/Maye pairing is a positive step, but they still have to change perception about them league-wide.

Read this series. It turns out you can break sports like a boardgame. The problem of analytics is the homogenization of play, from MLB's three true outcomes to the NBA's 3-point assault. Optimization makes everyone the same. If there's only one "winning" strategy, what's the point of watching?
