In these unsure occasions, the nice individuals of New England want one thing to imagine in. Dare I say, deserve one thing to imagine in. Higher nonetheless, deserve somebody to imagine in. The previous few months have been all an excessive amount of concerning the previous. Tributes, farewells, countdowns of nice moments, documentaries, podcast interviews, superstar roasts. All centered on the place we was once, not the place we’re headed and who’s going to get us there.
And so, it ought to give us all nice consolation to witness maybe the 2 most vital figures on this Courageous New World by which we discover ourselves not solely forming a friendship, however changing into a part of the material of our neighborhood. This was Drake Maye and Ja’Lynn Polk two days in the past:

And here is the mic’d up video that was launched a day later:
A North Carolina man and a man from Washington state, already conscious that the really nice ones who stay, survive and thrive right here grapple their souls to Masshole tradition with hoops of metal. That the quickest means for a Patriots participant to turn into assimilated to life right here is to get your ass in a seat on the Backyard and Fenway. That there’s a proud custom on this area of everybody turning out at one another’s video games. A cross-pollination among the many 4 groups that will not finish simply because sure legendary coaches aren’t working within the space any extra or as a result of Crimson Sox proprietor John Henry is a dick. That is larger than anyone man.

Granted, it might’ve been good for the presence of Maye and Polk to encourage the Bruins to a win. However a few future soccer greats of their very early 20s can solely sit within the stands and make noise. They cannot power anybody to take greater than 18 pictures on purpose or stop the NHL from letting the Panthers membership the Bruins goalie over the pinnacle with a defenseman after which rating whereas he is attempting to get again into place. The very best we will hope for is that they obtained their first style of what it is like right here. How a lot these video games matter to Massholes. And dedicate themselves to doing higher after they inevitably get into their very own postseason.

To that time, there’s purpose to really feel nice about how Maye and Polk are already engaged on that quarterback/broad receiver chemistry that’s unattainable to outline, however you realize it if you see it. That psychic connection of mutual belief and respect that’s so essential as a result of it interprets to success on the sector. Two guys, one from NC the opposite from Texas, who performed their closing faculty seasons a continent aside, introduced collectively by the widespread bond that’s soccer. The draft was simply a few weeks in the past, rookie camp was simply previous, and already these guys are like Woody and Buzz. Crimson and Andy Dufresne. Butch and Sundance. Riggs and Murtaugh. These two guys from Scrubs who I assume had a bromance as a result of they’re now on each TV timeout singing about cellphones however I am unsure as a result of I by no means watched Scrubs as a result of I am not a chick.

So now the stress’s on the Bruins to win tonight and get this sequence again to Boston. The Celtics are caring for their enterprise, however they’re about to shut out one more sequence in 5, and we’d like all of the playoff video games we will get. We’re already seeing the following nice QB/WR hookup engaged on their very own shorthand. Speaking about “tuddies” and “hit sticks” and guys going airborne, and this time they’re spending collectively is valuable. So we’d like a Bruins comeback on this sequence not only for them, however for our future. For greater than only a Stanley Cup, however for the a lot loftier purpose of bringing one other Lombardi to Foxboro. And the journey could have begun on the draft final month. However in continues with every journey these two make to the Backyard. Godspeed tonight, Bs. There’s extra at stake than you may probably think about.
