Matthews Arena taught me two things: how fun college hockey can be, and how quickly I would stop caring once I graduated and no longer got free student tickets. End of an era for past-me.
Matthews Arena opened two years before Fenway Park and 18 years before the old Boston Garden. on.nbcboston.com/bsn2R3i
115-year-old Boston arena will host final game this weekend
Matthews Arena, which opened in 1910, will close after the Northeastern University men’s hockey team plays Saturday night.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

We’ve officially entered the Sundays-are-for-getting-things-done-and-only-checking-the-Vikings-score-when-I-forget-how-miserable-this-team-makes-me zone. From here on out, Sundays will be productive instead of whatever you call that mix of embarrassment, frustration, melancholy and low-grade rage.

After unexpected recent developments, I have decided to issue an update to this post sports.beehiiv.com/p/jj-mccarth...
JJ McCarthy is the worst
The Vikings need to move on from their 2024 10th overall pick ASAP. PLUS, Jameis Winston makes one of the greatest QB catches ever, the Raiders pin their problems on Chip Kelly, and more!

Brian Flores: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is "one of my favorites" as far as players he's been around. "We had a great rapport" in his one Vikings season. "Thought he grew tremendously when he was here ... those things are continuing to show up for him" in Seattle

JJ McCarthy is being pressured on 47.4% of his dropbacks, and a bunch have been on his refusal to get rid of the ball. He has the internal clock of a sundial.

And the second most is “Jalen Redmond has come out of nowhere to be the most talked about guy on this Vikings defense” which would normally be awesome but he’s outplaying by far two expensive veteran free agents

[Insert random journey man running back] is having a career day today
