The Drive

Are Patriots fans set on the team going QB with the pick? Or can you get on board with the idea of anything else?

As a golf junkie, this is one of the best weekends on the sports calendar and will account for the vast majority of my sports viewing habits over the course of the next three days.

The Sox have played 11 and won 7. What are your early takeaways on a bunch that didn't have much expected of them?

It's tough to get much worse than the situation in Oakland, but there are a few contenders around the pro sports landscape doing their best to do anything but put a winning product on the field.

After another weekend of surprise outcomes, how is your bracket looking?

Between D-White, Porzingis and Holiday, only Kristaps is on the books for next year. Which two are most important for the Celtics to lock up in an attempt to own the East for years to come?

It's fair to say a competitive season would come as quite the surprise to quite many.

I don't know about you, but Bello-Pivetta-Crawford-Whitlock-Houck doesn't inspire a ton of confidence in me, and it appears the Red Sox think simply having Craig Breslow in-house, as well as new pitching coach Andrew Bailey, is going to be the secret sauce in unlocking these guy's potential and turning what appears to be a lacking bunch of arms into the '98 Braves.
