Through all the ups and downs of the past 365 days I’m proud to say I can celebrate 7 YEARS of being sober. This past year has been filled with intense mental/ emotional challenges. I’ve wanted to reach for the bottle or have that one drink. Thinking it would make things easier.

6 years ago today my life changed. I was a functioning alcoholic and never thought I had a drinking problem. But after stopping drinking, I realized how much alcohol had controlled my life. I’ve been blessed ever since that day but I still struggle at times with sobriety.

Instead there have been insults, name calling and some of the worst sports takes I’ve ever heard. Honestly it’s turned into trash, which is disappointing because the first two games have been great. I’m tapping out of all the trash takes. The fans deserve better from us.

But so can every player, assistant coach and front office person on the team. Stop reaching for the low hanging fruit. Each individual needs to look inward and figure out how they can better help the team. (2)

I will say this. I’m hearing some differing opinions on Robert “Timelord” Williams. But I think the Celtics were at their best when he was healthy. He was a game changer. Of course health was always an issue for him but he impacted games.

I again wake up with the same question. Can the USA beat COVID or is the virus here with us to stay? I ask because we’re divided on wearing masks. We’re divided on social distancing. We even seem divided on taking the vaccine. So what’s the solution? How do we win against COVID?

I don’t often agree with Adam. But he’s right. If LeBron came to Boston he would rival Brady in popularity.
The only thing crazier than thinking LeBron James will land with the

If you're a Celts fan and LeBron actually joined Boston, you'd be thrilled. Ecstatic. Don't lie to yourself.
