Sometimes I almost kind of enjoy spam texts because it lets me know that at least one demographic (bots) are still using hotmail

Say Hey, also elite. We may have peaked as a society here.
I don't care what anyone says, this is still an absolute banger in 2025
Very important power ranking of old-timey baseball songs:
1A: Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?
1B: Say Hey
*whatever songs I've forgotten/didn't know existed*
2: Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
With All-Star voting still going on, maybe consider the #NERevs' man for all seasons (currently not in the top five)
‘He’s the guy that makes it go’: Carles Gil remains the Revolution’s indispensable figure
I asked Caleb Porter about the possibility of MLS moving to a fall-to-spring European-style calendar (potentially as early as 2027). He supports it. #NERevs Here's his full quote:
NEW EPISODE!
The #NERevs finished off 3 games in 8 days with 3 points with some help from old friend, Giacomo Vrioni
This week, @haydenbird.bsky.social joins us to break down the win and where it leaves the Revs headed into a 2 week break

Here is the quote from Robert Kraft about the origin of the Everett stadium proposal, and his claim that "people from outside Mass" wanted them to relocate the #NERevs. Full quotes on the topic in the story, including his take on the relocation idea: www.boston.com/sports/new-e...
He gave no context beyond that quote so...maybe?
Krafts and most of the #NERevs representation at the meeting departed after giving their presentation at the opening. We are now into full-on local community meeting stuff, replete with Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria having a few spirited back and forths with his constituents.
Brian Bilello says the proposed stadium would seat between 23,000-25,000 fans #NERevs. Says the renderings that have been released are "by no means a final design"
Robert Kraft says that Everett Mayor DeMaria came to see them about the project initially. He also said that they "had people from outside Mass. who were trying to get us to move the team" in reference to the #NERevs
Here for the #NERevs community meeting in Everett over the proposed stadium. Robert and Jonathan Kraft are here.
New Episode!

This week @haydenbird.bsky.social joins @andyrevsnation.bsky.social to talk about another clean sheet, more Carles magic, and to answer listener questions.

The #NERevs tifo is topical (and good)
Boston Marathon dog
Gained a lot of respect for Johnny Kelley ("The Younger") while researching this story: "How a dog was blamed for ruining the 1961 Boston Marathon" www.boston.com/sports/bosto...
A few years ago, I randomly came across an account of a marathoner who smoked two (2!) cigars at the start of the 1926 Boston Marathon. As it turns out, the story of Clovis Bourdelais is that of an original Boston Marathon character. www.boston.com/sports/bosto...
Yes, his top-down approach over the years (assuming, for example, that Bill Weld's word would be good enough) has been repeatedly shown to be a mistake. What's interesting is the refusal to even try that with Wu tho. If that's your go-to strategy, why not call the Boston mayor (as he did w/Walsh)?
