Roundup: Patriots Victory is the Greatest Win in Boston Sports History & Zach LaVine is Out for the Season
By Jason McIntyre
Vita Sidorkina, who is now a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model … a lot of New England Patriots are dating models … “The NFL May Have a Full-Blown Crisis on its Hands” … $200k worth of cocaine was found in an American Airlines plane … if you’re wondering where Houston’s homeless population went Super Bowl week … “Six cosmic catastrophes that could wipe out life on Earth” … a dead whale was pulled from the Chesapeake Bay … 8-year old boy accidentally shoots and kills his 5-year old sister … former radio host in Cleveland scammed woman out of GoFundMe money, is going to prison … scant evidence, scary conclusion: Sushi won’t be nearly the same in 2050 … Atlanta choked away a 4th quarter lead in a Super Bowl that had an awesome ending … I’m extremely happy at the Patriots comeback, because we all need a break of political talk …
