Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I don't disagree that it would be cool to come up with a unique name for the AAA team to be based in Worcester but given these options I'd prefer a simple WooSox... Things can be infinitely small or infinitely large but yet both are equally infinite. Blows your mind if you stop to think on it... Meanwhile this week in Musk World - Tesla stock slides to below $300... Mischief Managed would be a great name for a Harry Potter themed punk band... ESPN's new president says politics is not their job and network will stick to sports... Observation from a Sunday spent at Old Orchard Beach - I could live to be 110 and not be able to come up with a reason or justification for having a large neck tattoo of a boom box.. Have to say that so far the new ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro is acting just as I predicted in March...

Top 5 - Things I Want to See in Boston Sports
If I had my way - here's the Top 5 things I'd like to see in Boston Sports (knowing that most of these might not happen):
1. I would have Tom Brady file both a $200 million defamation suit against Roger Goodell and the NFL AND file a $200 lawsuit against Roger Goodell personally for creating a Hostile Workplace.
2. Brad Stevens is half-way through his 6-year contract and I think it is time to extend him for another 4-years for a total of 10-years. A long term commitment to Stevens sends a message to both existing players and also to NBA free agents (the job Stevens does in Boston hasn't gone unnoticed by the players on other teams).
3. Have the Patriots target free agent running back Matt Forte as a number one priority. I know the offensive line has to be the first problem to be addressed but Forte as a pass catching bruising running back would be such a great weapon in the New England offense.
4. Speaking of the offense line - bring back Dante Scarnecchia as the offensive line coach (looks like this is actually happening).
5. Move the Pawtucket Red Sox to Worcester.

Linky Links
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- RIP Leonard Nimoy. Here was his last Tweet from a few days ago. Makes you wonder if he knew the end was near.
- Nice article on what the Pawtucket Red Sox have meant to the city. I'll be sure to catch a few games there this season.
- Can't help but think of all the missed shots. Great idea but I'd hate to have to clean that floor.
- Not to jinx anything but Abe Vigoda is still alive
- Interesting - little girl receives gifts from crows as thanks for feeding them
- How much do Keynote Speakers make?
- This is one beautiful car
- How sanctions are effecting the Russian economy

The Longest Game
The Texas Longhorns and the BC Eagles played the longest game in college history yesterday with a game that Texas won 3-2 in 25 innings. Think about that - 25 innings!
I felt sad reading the article though because nobody will remember BC's role in this game. This is not their Tin Cup moment - that moment belongs to the Longhorns. Think about it. The longest professional game in history occurred at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI with the Pawtucket Red Sox winning a 33 inning marathon. I couldn't tell you who lost the game without looking it up though. (And yes - I looked it up and it was the Rochester Red Wings.) Years from now people will be looking it up to see who the Longhorns beat in the 25-inning game.
