A different kind of Tom Brady Watch continues. The watch/wait for some kind of announcement on the finalization of his Tampa Bay Buccaneer contract. There was nothing new on Thursday except the fact that Brady reportedly was seeing a doctor in New York to undergo a physical, as the NFL is not ...
The plan was in place. Merrimack's Mickey Gasper was going through one of his first workouts at the New York Yankees minor league complex in Tampa, Fla.last Friday when all of a sudden he fell into Plan C. Otherwise known as Yankees and MLB's COVID-19 plan. Which is no baseball. “We were ...

These days, you take what you can get. There aren't any tournament games going on – and may not be in the end – but several local high school girls basketball players can celebrate their All-State status. That goes for the coaches, too, as two were named their respective Division Coach of ...
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't gloat about signing the GOAT. At least not officially. The National Football League issued a mandate to teams on Wednesday that they can't announce trades or signings until physicals are completed. Of course, to do that, players must be checked out by team ...
The unthinkable in the minds of New England Patriots fans took place on Tuesday. The 20-year Tom Brady era is over. Done. Finished. Many woke up to a social media message from beloved quarterback Brady, basically the greatest quarterback of all time with six Super Bowl rings, saying he was ...
As legend has it, Tom Brady brazenly told Robert Kraft in his rookie season that drafting him was “the best decision this organization ever made.” Was allowing Brady to leave 20 years later the worst? Only time will tell us that. In some ways it is, but that is mainly because of ...
Tom Brady announced on Twitter this morning that he is leaving the New England Patriots, and in doing so thanked the fans of the region. “I don't know what my football future holds,” he wrote as part of a good-bye to New England fans, “but its time for me to open a new stage for my life ...
There will be no raising of the title plaque in front of droves of fans for the Bishop Guertin High School girls basketball team. There will be no chance for the Nashua High School North, South, Merrimack, Alvirne and Hollis Brookline boys basketball teams to take the floor at the University ...
The New England Patriots made a couple of moves late Sunday and Monday, but none of them included re-signing/extending soon-to-be free agent Tom Brady. First, on Sunday night the team extended the contract of safety Devin McCourty agreed to a reported two-year, $23 million deal, reuniting ...
Anger often drives this columnist. When Tennyson penned those immortal words in The Charge of the Light Brigade: “Theirs not to question why,” he might as well have been scolding me 150 years in advance. Angry Longo questions everything and everyone, with a jagged, cynical edge. We ...

Fasten your seat belts, here we go. It looks like the Football Genie is going to grant us one of our two wishes – that the NFL will apparently allow free agency to go on as scheduled. That means you can pamper and tamper beginning today at noon if you're an NFL owner/general manager. The ...
While watching folks skewer Roger Goodell is always a hoot, occasionally he does make the right call. Proceeding with the NFL free agent season, and the draft next month, is one of them. Goodell and the league are being criticized for trying to maintain some sense of business as usual ...
Why the Longo column on Sunday, you ask? Well. I had some time to kill after dousing the flames on my recent white-hot take that the folks at the NHIAA were spot-on allowing the remaining winter playoff games to be played before family only, despite the coronavirus scare. You see, before ...
