My heart is broken. My relationship with Jack started in the summer 2013 and instantly knew how special of a kid he was. That relationship brought me to Moeller as well, so I’m for ever in debt to Jack, Laura and Rob Toomb. He was every bit of A Man of Moeller! Stay Gold Jack! pic.twitter.com/ypB5d2dGjl

Here’s a nice segment from WETM: Loyola’s Aidan Olmstead reflects on NCAA lacrosse cancellation.

Aidan Olmstead continues to shine, but that shine will have to wait another season. Olmstead, a junior attacker on the Loyola (Md.) men’s lacrosse team, leads the Greyhounds in points this year with 22 (11 goals, 11 assists). The 14th ranked team in the country, unfortunately, received the same fate as all NCAA programs with the coronavirus outbreak.

Tom Brady signs with Tampa Bay.

So why, oh why, did Brady choose to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? That’s what happened. Can you believe it? The Bucs’ four-decade search for a franchise quarterback has led them to Brady, the greatest of all time. Brady chose to play for Bruce Arians over Belichick and pass to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin over Julian Edelman. And, yes, he chose the Glazer family over Kraft.
