Congratulations to Judd Sirott, the new voice of the Boston Bruins on NESN. A seamless transition and a perfect fit! A good man, a good friend, and a guy who has left his thumbprints on every rung of the ladder. I’m happy! So should be all the members of the Bruins Tribe.

RIP John Mayall. His laughter at the end of the live recording of “Room to Move” while the crowd is going nuts is an expression of the pure joy he shared with every audience. music.amazon.com/albums/B000…

Attention, all Fantasy Football Leagues: if you want a random draft, excitedly announced... I encourage you to consider my dog Charlie and me via Cameo. It's a humorous way to start the season.

The Hangaz made a Bruins video a couple of years ago. I watched it, and they took me in as a neophyte on rap. They are big Bruins fans. That was art. They have a story to tell in every video. This is their latest, a Boston sports story I did not know. youtube.com/watch?v=fQNJJbXe…

We mourn the loss of Bill Walton. He granted Channel 5 a few minutes, one-on-one, in the locker room in 1986. He was a great man and a giant in basketball history. Mike Dowling and Mike Lynch anchoring, the genius Ray Smith editing. youtube.com/watch?v=eFrRnWEt…
