No one had heard a peep. Unfortunately, he was dead on. A few hours later Morosi broke the news that something was wrong. Now last year Cole went through this song and dance during spring training as he dodged a massive bullet. This feels different, especially when you hear from Cole today. I don’t see how the Yankees recover from losing Gerrit Cole. Now you’re losing Luis Gil for at least three months and Cole potentially for the entire season....

So I’m just gonna say it, he’s right. Didn’t even flinch, didn’t have to think twice. Jackson asked if the 60 year old Bonds could hit a 100 MPH fastball right now. Bonds being Bonds immediately says how easy it would be, and I believe him. He said you just have to replace the glove with the bat and that was his approach. Obviously it’s a little more complicated than that but damnit does he make it seem easy....

Not sure if you’ve heard or not, but the Lakers are on a bit of a roll. As is tradition any time the Lakers win a few games, they now dominate the national storyline. It’s not exactly rocket science to understand why, the Lakers move the needle. If nobody cared about them, then the networks wouldn’t talk about them. That’s just the world we live in. Take Perk for example....

The Big 10 is a unique conference in the sense that they truly celebrate the conference regular season champ. But Michigan State won it outright last night. That led a 31-6 run. That’s how you make a comeback on the road, even if Iowa sucks. People saying he looks like Avon Barksdale here. I’m far from a Michigan State fan, but this is a prototypical Izzo team. Only way my brain works here....

In case you missed it last night, Charles Barkley went to war with ESPN. It’s a war worth battling and he had a direct attack on Kendrick Perkins. But, Barkley proves what I’ve been and mostly anyone with a brain is saying. Inside the NBA is an entertainment show, it’s the best show on TV. Yeah, those days were nice. I say all that to bring up the funniest part of this whole thing....

(I’m writing this blog before I see the return because I don’t care what it is. Brad Marchand was my guy. From the moment he got to Boston he was my guy. He’s still my guy. He won’t be. Since rumors started swirling I began making my peace with the fact that Marchand would get moved. I haven’t made much progress. I don’t know. All I know is that the Boston Bruins are a worse team and franchise now that Marchand is gone....

He has great size, plays the game with an edge, can produce offensively. He’s the perfect prototype for a playoff hockey player. But that’s besides the point. Because going the other way to Buffalo were Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker. And the loss of Josh Norris clearly hit Brady Tkachuk like a clapper to the nuts. You’ve got the fans booing the American National Anthem before every home game. And now you trade away the guy’s best friend....

Today was Brandon Walker’s funeral. Nick had a surprise guest in his goodbye. KB also waxed poetic. Big Cat brought in a surprise guest he flew up from Mississippi. But as the show was ending, Brandon said he would not be re-signing. Our hearts were heavy. Until a young Walker came and changed the game. It was a truly unforgettable Yak. Watch the full show here:

Patrice Bergeron literally could not believe it… The 2024-2025 Boston Bruins in a nutshell right there. Let me tell you this though, it’s a bad day to be a grape in New England!
