Top 'o the Tuesday to you, Boston sports fans. Back to the Zoom 'n grind today after a "holiday" yesterday. Here are a couple of things you may want to have handy while designing your own alternates to the new uniforms the Patriots revealed Monday.

April 20, 2020 And for what it's worth, no matter what your Wiggys and Faurias of the world say abut his ability to lead next season, Stidham is prepping like he's the guy and it's his job to lose, and his games to win next season. And that's just the kind of moxie and LFG we want out of our NEP QB.
Countin’ down the days.--

Now, on with the good stuff...
BROADCAST HIGHLIGHT
2011 Bruins Postseason Encore Stanley Cup Final Game 7: Bruins at Vancouver Canucks - 830pm, NESN
(Might we interest anyone in reliving what it felt like the last time the Beez hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup?)
VIRTUAL BACKDRAFT
According to reports, there were
some glitches in the matrix, if you will, when NFL GMs did a test run of the technology Monday in preparation for Thursday’s social distance-necessitated NFL Draft. If things go wrong technically
we know who everyone is going to blame. According to reports, there was a two and a half minute delay with the Bengals attempting to get in the first overall pick. If screwing up the selection of Joe Burrow isn’t the most Cincinnati thing ever, it still could make for an interesting show, on many more levels, than expected, come Thursday night (
Don’t forget - WEEI has you covered with special live Draft Night coverage featuring Christina Fauria and Wiggy on 93.7 FM, and you can join Fitzy and Rich Keefe for a NFL Draught Special, sponsored by Bud Light, at facebook.com/WEEI Thursday at 730pm).
GLASS HALF FULL?
Whatever sports you get, be it virtual drafts or Taiwanese baseball or major American sports playoffs relocated unusual cities with social distance seating if any, please make sure to enjoy. Kind of like when you get only a half sandwich for lunch! That half sandwich is now your whole sandwich. Because according to sports marketing agency Two Circles, approximately just under half of all major sorting events for 2020 have been or will be postponed. And in full Al Czervyk voice, “That’s right, it sucks!". But what can we do? Appreciate what we got or may still get as opposed to what we don’t, right? This the day after we had no Boston Marathon on Patriots Day, but I hope it returns this September. Small victories, my friends.
HIS DOG HAS SMAHT PAHK
As far as Boston celebrity sports fans go...does it get much better than Captain America rocking the Flying Elvis next to a sneezing dog?

April 20, 2020 BECAUSE YOU NEED THIS
No matter how poorly your attempt at homemade unique sports, or viral sports clips, have gone, they couldn’t have gone this poorly. But then again, she gave us the laugh, which we needed, and we’re grateful.
