I don't mind alternate jerseys in general -- I liked the yellow City Connects and the Celtics old-school cursive gold city editions -- but these are dumb.
The Patriots are set to debut their new, icy blue “nor’easter” uniforms Thursday night when they take on the New York Jets.

Mookie has now played almost as many total games for the Dodgers (807) as he did for the Red Sox (815). And he's played way more playoff games for LA (70-21).
Unless he suddenly retires to join the pro bowling tour, it's gonna be clear by career's end which hat he will have on his HoF plaque. ☹️

Evan Drellich always delivers the goods, but this is next-level. Turncoat agent served as MLB mole during Covid negotiations.
“F the players,” Murray responded, according to the MLBPA documents. “I’m still so pissed off I can’t see straight.”
“We need them to be kissed (sic) off at their leadership,” Courtney replied.

This is insane. What Tom Shales was to Larry Sanders, Alan Sepinwall is to The Simpsons--a critic worthy of a name drop. If he's not the greatest TV writer of all-time, he's top three. On the bright side, I suspect he's about to discover just how big his (paying) audience is. I'll be signing up.
