Patriots owner Robert Kraft has invited this Patriots fan to this weekend’s game at Gillette.
Jerry Edmond -at his first NFL game- kept his composure while an obnoxious and aggressive Raiders fan got in his face.
I think his 2nd game will be better!

NEW: We can confirm 50 migrants were flown to Martha's Vineyard and are being helped at a church.
The men, women & kids said they didn't know where they were.
And Florida Gov Ron DeSantis told Fox he sent them as part of his "relocation program for illegal immigrants." (more)

There's some conflicting information.
We are told the migrants are telling translators on the Vineyard they are from Venezuela and flew in from Texas. But, DeSantis claimed to Fox News that it was HIS program.
We will have more at 11 on @WBZ.

When they landed, they just started walking until they found town offices.
Gov. DeSantis had promised to send migrants to "progressive" states.
He told Fox News: " States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals."

I’ll admit it. As a Patriots fan, my split second reaction was “Wow, Josh Gordon. Big loss for the team.”
That is so backwards.
The ONLY thing that is important is this young man finding peace and happiness within.
Wish him the best.

Dear parents of kids who can't get into specific college,
Let your kids understand disappointment. You're not always going to get what you want. There's no such thing as "deserving" something. Work hard. Be nice. Oh and not long after graduation, no one will care where you went.

This is unbelievable.
The 1st person with Coronavirus in NH- a hospital worker- was told to self-quarantine.
Instead, the person went to a private event last Friday.
A 2nd person- who was in contact- now is presumed to have it.
Everyone at that event is being contacted.

Call me crazy... I'd rather have Mac Jones, 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks, a starting TE and a starting DL.... than 33 year-old Russell Wilson.
Patriots have won 6 titles in 20 years. Do we need to gut the team because we are too impatient to build another winner?

At a pond, kids scream "help!" You jump in. You save two kids and lose your life.
You're called for a "disturbance." A man is in the woods with guns. You go in and get shot. You need surgery to live. Your K9 of 12 yrs is dead.

Cora and Breslow should be out the door next.
They can teach a Masterclass together on the worst ways to communicate and manage human beings.
