I know this is a certified cheap shot, but someone remind me why the Red Sox didn’t’ keep Kyle Schwarber.

7/31/1954 Milwaukee’s Joe Adcock gets some pitches to hit at Ebbets Field. 4 HR and a 2B for a then record 18 TB.

Just saw the brilliant NBC piece on Normandy. If you are fortunate enough to be an American of sufficient means, a trip to Normandy is a Must. You will never regret it.

Anyone out there who can properly describe what Steph Curry just did to guarantee Gold for the USA? I can’t.

Or was that just Another Day At The Office for the greatest shooter who’s ever lived?

Don’t lie and say you don’t envy all those gleeful Olympians at the Closing Ceremony. I sure do.

I miss the Olympics already

What a day of.Regal Rembrance. On this date the Sultan of Swat (1948), The King (1977) and the Queen of Soul (2018) all departed this earthly existence.

How can you top “Knock, Knock, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door?”

Dominic Smith, Designated For Assignment by the Red Sox today to make room for Triston Casas, may not be a great player but he definitely belongs in the major leagues. (It’s a tough business, folks).

Hideki Matsuyama’s back 9 today was total fiction. Congrats to him.

From 1955-69 Bill Russell’s teams competed for 16 championships: 2 NCAAs, an Olympics and 13 NBA titles. His teams just happened to win 14, missing a 15th only because he was hurt. I, for one, do not think it was coincidence.

RIP Al Attles. You know that phrase “Man’s Man?” That was Al Attles. Mr. Warriors, for sure. Stats did not convey his playing impact, and the guy could coach. His ‘75 champs were special. He was special. Best factoid: He was 8-for-8 the night Wilt dropped 100 on the Knicks.

What every household needs.

Happy 68th birthday to Hall of Famer Maurice Cheeks, who should be the role model for all true point guards.

7-0 and now a sack! Pats should ask the Bengals if they want to concede?

After watching that Pats’ first half maybe it’s not too early to make hotel and restaurant reservations in New Orleans.

Boston Sports fans: If you’re in or near Rangely, Me. check out Sarge’s Sports Pub & Grub. It’s our kind of place.

Have never been the biggest Dwight Howard fan, but you cannot deny how impressive he was tonight on “Dancing With The Stars.”
