Shameless plug time.
The HBO Max movie we worked on, It's Never Over Jeff Buckley, is available for streaming starting this Thursday 12/4

It's a beautiful look at the brief but brilliant career of Jeff Buckley. You'll really enjoy it.

This is the problem with this year's Celtics. When Jaylen is cooking, they can look great. If he cools off, there's no one consistently picking them up. White is supposed to be that guy but he hasn't been able to find that groove.

There were 17 penalties called in the KC vs. DAL game tonight.

That’s what you call Flag Football.

Here’s another reason why landing Sonny Gray is such a big deal.

Well this sure explains why the Sox coveted Sonny Gray huh
If a pitcher is coming to Fenway Park, which ones give up Air Pull to right-handed batters?

Nice to see the first domino fall. Hopefully, the MLB free agent market moves a lot faster than it did last offseason.

At 9-2, the #Patriots are guaranteed to finish the season with a winning record for the first time since 2021.

5 TDs in the last 2 games (Sunday, tonight) for TreVeyon Henderson.

It feels like the #Patriots have been scored on in the opening series every game this season. (And then they usually settle down and play better D.)

If I was an official, I would give coaches and players instant technicals for arguing with me after a review.

As Mike Vrabel greeted each player on their way back to the locker room, he kept saying, “NFC South champs! NFC South champs!” — a reference to the quality of opponent the Patriots beat.

Is Tarik Skubal actually there for the taking on the trade market? As always, the answer is not a simple one. - The Boston Globe
As free agency kicks into gear at the General Managers meetings this week, the Tigers' Cy Young Award-winning southpaw is one of many big names that are heating up the Hot Stove.

As Stef Diggs has said, an ugly win is better than a pretty loss.
All gifts graciously received. Thank you Romo.

Good primer on the offseason.

Tonight or tomorrow the World Series will end and the off-season begins, with big decisions ahead for #RedSox.

Rob Refsnyder, Justin Wilson, Steven Matz, & Dustin May will be free agents when the Fall Classic ends. Opt-out decisions from Trevor Story & Alex Bregman are due five days later.

Hopefully, Yamamoto turns into a 🎃 tonight and the #BlueJays wrap up the #WorldSeries in 6 games. Go Jays!

There is going to be wild game-to-game variance with the Celtics this season. Wednesday’s outcome was the best-case scenario of what this team can be. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/31/s...
Let’s face it, Celtics fans: We have no idea what we’re going to get from this team on any given night - The Boston Globe
In order to win, especially against good teams, the Celtics absolutely must have at least one player shoot the lights out. If they all shoot poorly, they literally have no shot at winning.
