One last football game, and it’s Bishop Feehan vs. Catholic Memorial for the MIAA D2 state title at Gillette. North TV will be there (me, Ethan Hamilton, Del Malloy) for the delayed-telecast local perspective. Game time 3:30; check local listings and community.northtv.net!

We can’t do it live because of MIAA rules, but North TV will be at Gillette tonight to record the D3 Super Bowl (No. 7 North Attleboro vs. No. 1 King Philip) for later viewing. Join Jared Ware, Ethan Hamilton and Anthony Pirri (and I’ll be hanging around too) when it’s posted!

It’s the title game of the MVADA Medium Division football championships, No. 1 Tri-County vs. No. 3 Blue Hills, and Del Malloy and I will be at Greater New Bedford tonight at 7:30 to bring you all the action on North TV’s Community Channel, streaming at community.northtv.com!

Want to piss off Riley Gaines? Lassie was actually a boy dog invading the safe spaces of bitches.

In 56 years of sports journalism, I saw something tonight that I had never seen before — a clock official shutting off the scoreboard and walking out of the press box in the middle of a high school football game because the home PA announcer was too loud. Rabbit ears much?

It’s the MIAA D3 football quarterfinals and an old-fashioned Hockomock League battle — Mansfield (6-3) at King Philip (9-0). Join me, Del Malloy and Marcus Vaughn as we bring you all the action starting Friday at 5:55 p.m. on North TV at community.northtv.net!

It’s the Division 3 football playoffs, and tonight, North TV will bring you No. 16 Chicopee Comprehensive at No. 1 King Philip. Join me and Del Malloy for all the action starting at 5:55 p.m. at community.northtv.net!

The so-called “media corps” that Trump allows into his press conferences are a bunch of sickening sycophants that let him babble on about how great he thinks he is.

You know, guys my age are supposed to shrink a little … height-wise, nothing else intended for measurement. But even at 72, I’m still 15 inches taller than Stephen Miller. Everywhere.

A battle of unbeatens! King Philip football (3-0) visits Foxboro (3-0) at Jack Martinelli Field, 7 p.m. Friday on North TV’s Community Channel, also viewable in Wrentham and Norfolk. Join Del Malloy and me for all the action between these great rivals!

King Philip football is back in action tonight at Macktaz Field, as the 1-1 Norwood Mustangs visit the 2-0 Warriors. The live action begins at 7 on North TV’s Community Channel and in Wrentham and Norfolk as well, with me, Del Malloy and Marcus Vaughn on the call. Join us!

I guarantee you, the next step is Trump declaring martial law and suspending the 2026 midterm elections so we cannot begin the process of removing the MAGA taint from this land.

Reports are that the Sinclair-owned group of TV stations also threatened to yank Jimmy Kimmel off their ABC affiliates. WJAR-TV in Providence is owned by Sinclair. It’s an NBC affiliate and the only way I can see NBC in my home town, but they’re off my clicker now.

It’s a special guest appearance for me on Mansfield Cable Access on Thursday as I’ll be calling the boys’ soccer game between Sharon and Mansfield beginning at 3:45 at Alumni Field. It’s on your TV in Mansfield and watchable at mansfieldcableaccess.com. Join us!

It’s boys’ soccer on Tuesday, Sharon at King Philip, and Martin Grealish and I will have the call live on North TV’s Community Channel. Game time is 3:45 p.m. at Macktaz Field!

It’s time for more volleyball on North TV, as Alex Salachi and I will bring you all the action of Monday’s match between the King Philip girls and Foxboro at KP. Game time is 5 p.m. on the Community Channel, starting a very busy week of school sports for me and my microphone!

Here is the design for the statue of Bill Belichick outside Gillette Stadium as approved by Jordon Hudson…

This will be another Woodrow Wilson thing. His stroke was severe, and his wife covered for him for several months. Given that Melania would rather cover Donald (with dirt), that will leave Stephen Miller as the conspirator-in-charge. Vance won’t have the stones to challenge him.

I have determined that the Indiana Fever do not need Caitlin Clark to win. Therefore, they should trade Clark to the Connecticut Sun to facilitate the move to Boston and give her a major-market team in a city that will embrace her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Meanwhile, has anyone seen Pam Bondi? Is she sleeping with the fishes?

Trump threatens nuclear war against Russia, but I get suspended from X for criticizing him. Musk is still a stooge for the Cheeto Benito.

BLOGGING FEARLESSLY: Ponderous thoughts about a demolished press box, and to passing of a man that helped inspire my choice of a career. www.theownersbox2020.com/2025/07/pond...

I spent many years believing the name of the song was “Gravy Train.” Sorry, Ozzy.

So, Jor-El and Lara are murderous tyrants, Krypto is neurotic and Supergirl is a raging drunk that whores around. But a Kansas upbringing turned Kal-El into a boring Boy Scout. Damn red states, took all the fun out of him!

Trump says he talked to Coca-Cola about using real sugar. Actual response: “Sorry, sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

On this July 4, we are a nation in distress. I’ll celebrate again when Trump is gone.

Time for this presidency to be subject to the law.

CNN reporter said we will see “B-52 bombers from World War II” in today’s parade. Not likely. The B-52 first flew in 1955, 10 years after the war’s end. Silly wabbit.

Just watched “Good Night and Good Luck” on CNN. I had seen the movie when it came out many years ago, but given the current national crisis of leadership, I had tears running down my cheeks because we so desperately need today what Edward R. Murrow accomplished in the 1950s.

The best take on social media today is Olympic gymnast Simone Biles’ takedown of anti-trans activist Riley Gaines.

It’s a sad world. George Wendt (Norm on Cheers) has died. Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are engaged. And Donald Trump is still alive.

A small part of me feels remorseful that I’m just giddy over Bill Belichick’s ongoing embarrassment over his 23-year-old squeeze’s meddling in his life. Then that part goes back to sleep and I’m good with it. Karma is indeed a bitch.

I think they should use white smoke for the next Karen Read verdict.

Trump snubbed in pope choice, film at 11!

Adam Vinatieri should have been selected to the Patriots Hall of Fame. Julian Edelman won the popular vote instead. Not saying JE 11 isn’t worthy, but one of the greatest kickers in NFL history was more worthy.

My prediction: If she is convicted of murder, Karen Read will be pardoned by Donald Trump.

If, as a baptized and confirmed Catholic, I somehow am chosen the next pope, I would choose the name Pope Hilarius II, because it certainly would be.

This may be meanspirited of me, but I’m hoping that the blowback over Gayle King calling herself an “astronaut” because of her joyride in the Flying Penis puts an end to her career at CBS. She always was a journalistic lightweight unworthy of her stature.

Teslas will soon be showing up at small mom-and-pop used car lots for pennies on the dollar — and they still won’t sell.

Most untrue crap of the week from Trump: One of his minions told the media that the national average price of a dozen eggs was $2.35. I just went to a supermarket and didn’t see a dozen under $8.99. Fuck Trump and his security blanket of lies.

Is he dead yet? Damn.

I’m at the table for our FCA/NFHS telecast of tonight’s MIAA D3 girls’ state semifinal between No. 2 Foxboro and No. 3 Norwell here at Taunton High. It’s a long way to the other basket, so thank heaven for monitors. Telecast begins at 6!

It’s the Division 3 girls’ hoop semifinals, and I’ll be joining Kate Hill behind the mic at 6 p.m. Monday as the No. 2 Foxboro girls take on No. 3 Norwell at Taunton High. We’ll have the game LIVE for Foxboro Cable Access viewers and for the NFHS Network (subscription service).

Back at the Albertini Gym tonight for an MIAA D2 basketball doubleheader, live on Mansfield Cable Access. It’s the Hornet girls vs. Masconomet at 5, and the Mansfield boys vs. Nashoba at 7. Join Alex Salachi and me for all the action at mansfieldcableaccess.com!
