I have this horrible feeling the real Belichick is right around the level Pat's show is looking for. There are no second acts in American life.

I'm watching this Sixers Heat game but it's driving me nuts. Its like an old folks home for elderly con men, watching Lowry and Butler trying to cage free throws without ever putting up an honest shot.

I suppose if you'd told me early in the season that Murder Kornet and The Hausitzer would play > 10 minutes in the NBA Finals for the Celtics, I would have taken that deal just to see what the hell happened.

The Celtics seem insistent on ending their season like it started. That's frustrating as hell. That said, obviously most of the problem can be credited to the Warriors.

I feel like that was a pretty good day of Euros. 2 games, 14 goals, a penalty shootout (much as I hate 'em for making heroes and villains out of individuals).

I got so annoyed with Derek Rae's pronunciation of "Bruno Fernandes" (it doesn't jibe with my decades-old New England understanding of Portuguese) that I discovered this IPA pronunciation tool and will now waste the rest of these Euros taking the spellings from players' Wikipedia entries to judge the commentators' accuracy.

ESPN Strips Paul Pierce of Pundit Gig

As a huge fan of the Celtics and #34, I can't say I will miss hearing his takes, though, sadly, he might improve the quality of discourse in Boston sports (though not on NBCSN which is pretty solid depending on how you feel about Scal. Oh and if you can tolerate Perk. God help us.)

Bucs Win Super Bowl 0x37

Has there ever been a Super Bowl defense that had more hurries and sacks on a QB?

I have to give props to Greg Bedard of BostonSportsJournal.com for calling this result.

Tampa won't need to worry about the run and should be able to pressure with four, I don't see an issue with doubling Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.

Basically, if the Chiefs are going to put up their customary 30-plus points in this game and win, Mahomes is going to have to be otherworldly. Anything the Chiefs do on offense will be because of him, and possibly some breakdowns on behalf of the Bucs. He will have to have, arguably, the greatest QB performance in Super Bowl history.
