One year ago today I suffered a stroke. Thanks to the unyielding support of my family, friends, therapists, nurses and doctors we have made great strides. Plenty of work to be done but a heartfelt Thank You to all!
So my 3 year old granddaughter RYAN declares from the baby pool “I want to jump off the Diamond Board,” which mean diving board into 12 feet in the deep end. So....Judges?

Tom Brady before his first NFL start September of 2001. As he shook Tom’s hand the host uttered “good luck Sunday I hope it works out for you!” Ya think?
Solution to controlling debate. OPEN the microphone of the candidate being asked the question MUTE the microphone of the other candidate for TWO minutes
Bill Russell the greatest winner in the history of sports is dead at the age of 88. Two high school state championships, back to back NCAA championships, Olympic gold medal and 11 NBA championships in 13 years. The greatest ever!
50 years ago today I kicked an Extra Point through the upstairs window of the pink house behind the goalpost at Newburyport HS. I was egged on in the huddle by my teammates to “go for it” and I foolishly accepted their challenge. Wrote a letter of apology the following week.
Will we ever see a similar icon on the cover of SI again? At Navy graduation in 1961 Joe Bellino participated in the traditional hat toss. There were 700 hats on the field. An 8 year old boy scrambled into the fray and found his idol’s hat. That 8 year old boy was Bill Belichick.
Is anyone else scratching their head over the decision by the Suffolk County DA to drop possession of two loaded firearms and a magazine of ammunition by Jack Jones of the patriots? Tom Brady was suspended four games for suspicion of knowledge of footballs being deflated?
Just got off the phone with Bobby Wong of Kowloon. DO NOT PANIC ....Kowloon is NOT CLOSING..... if they ever close it will be in YEARS not months. Now get up there and enjoy!
Connor Kulig of North Quincy walks into Mass Maritime as a Freshman. 8 months ago we met him as a High 5 with a broken neck unsure if he would ever walk again. Do you believe in Miracles? Yes!
We are tough judges here in NE. All we ask if our professional athletes is that they hustle, run out ground balls, play hard til the game is over and care as much as we do. Cam Newton gets an A+ in all those categories. Poor guy just didn’t have all his tools in his toolbox.
Thanks for all the cards and well wishes they are much appreciated. The work continues here at Spaulding as we close out June! Have a happy and safe Fourth of July! Lynchie

I know I’ve shared these before. This is Russell Wilson’s late dad Harry a great 2 sport athlete at Dartmouth. Had the privilege of competing against him. The resemblance is striking!
New MIAA playoff format kicks in this week. No more sectional rivalries that would insure huge crowds. Now Lawrence travels to Springfield, Lynn Tech to Hoosac Valley, Newburyport to Foxboro, Andover to Wachuestt- Traveling nightmare. MIAA already ruined Thanksgiving now this .
Tom Brady was impressed with the confidence of an 8-year-old to step up and ask him questions on Opening Night.
Question: How do you focus despite negative fans — a.k.a. the haters?
Brady: “We love ‘em. We love ‘em back. Because we don’t hate back...”
