Unbelievable to think: I witnessed the final
#Patriots
Super Bowl for Brady, Gronk, Edelman, and Belichick. Incredibly fortunate and thankful.
PS - Thank God they won, b/c I spent my ASS on that ticket. 🤣
#Celtics
trade for Porzingis: "He's NEVER healthy!"
#Bucks
trade for Dame: "Brilliant move. Title favorites!"
My response: "Did you know..."
Games Played the Last 4 Years:
Dame - 220 (33 Years Old)
KP - 216 (28 Years Old)
Kyrie was so effected by Boston's racism that he stood in front of a crowd at the Garden and told them he wanted to stay there in October of 2018, before he and his buddy KD decided to build a superteam.
If Mac Jones was as bad as some say, the
#Patriots
would have been humiliated last night. They were competitive BECAUSE of the QB, not in spite of him.
According to
@tomecurran
on
@NBCSBoston
- The
#Patriots
have been working on an Aiyuk trade. There's nothing solid on it yet, but when the
#49ers
get on the board at 31, if they take a WR, then we should spend our time Friday wondering if the Pats can execute the deal.
The narrative that the
#Kings
are the dirty team and the Warriors are being targeted by the league, all in the name of protecting DRAYMOND GREEN...Is wild.
Since Bailey Zappe took over as QB1, did you know that the
#Patriots
' points per game, minus the special teams TD in Denver, would currently be dead last in the NFL?
Mac Jones was impeccable in his final season at Alabama. Was damn good his rookie season. Then, was surrounded by a clown show coaching staff and fell off. Just let the young man play with competent surroundings and THEN judge if he's a QB1. My God!
GSP tells
@arielhelwani
that he watched Khabib v. Conor. Says that Khabib made it look "almost easy" against McGregor. Says he predicted Khabib to win and the fight went, mostly, the way he thought it would.
If that's the end of Belichick in New England: Thank you. Thank you for all the wins. Thank you for all the titles. Thank you for overseeing TWO dynasties. And, even though the end was brutal, we should all remember the greatness we had the honor of watching.
#Patriots
Just announced: Tonight is my last night on the air
@985thesportshub
. It was a difficult decision, but one that I’m happy with. Thank you all, whether you loved or hated me, for listening/following. And, yes, I’ll still be tweeting about Boston sports. More details soon!
This is on Pop. He's facing outside leverage from the CB, and Mac is expecting him to sit. As Mac gets ready to throw it, Pop doesn't sit. That's why Mac pulled back and was pissed.
#Patriots
Mac has had more than enough of his own issues, but imagine how different the narrative is, if: Boutte or Bourne make a play vs Philly. Parker makes the catch vs Vegas. Or, if Reagor/JuJu catch a ball that hits their hands today. Yet, Belichick let Meyers & D-Hop walk.
#Patriots
If you think this is a QB problem, God bless you. I'll agree to disagree. Offense sucks. Defense isn't good. Special teams is a failure. Complete organizational debacle. Unless there is a miraculous turnaround this 2nd Half, it's time for significant change.
6,000-plus days. Sixteen seasons. Four Presidents. Two arenas. One HUNGRY city. It's happened, Sacramento. Your 2022-2023
#Kings
are headed to the playoffs. Light the mightiest beam of all beams and celebrate!
#LightTheBeam
It’s been a bit, but I can finally announce this…
"The Nick Cattles Show” returns to
@ESPNRadio941
on Monday, June 4th, at a new time of 3pm-6pm. Can’t wait to get started. Let’s go!
Do NOT use Mac as a scapegoat. That excuses EVERY other issue. He hasn't been very good. But, he wasn't given the support system that every young QB should get. This mediocrity is on Belichick and his circle of buddies coaching offense. Full stop.
To fellow media people bitching: We get it, it's cold in Minnesota and you're stuck in the mall during the day.
From the rest of us not there & fans that would love the opportunity to be anywhere near the game: Shut the f*** up. You're covering a Super Bowl.
If the NBA doesn't suspend Draymond Green for Game 3, there is no justice. Can't allow dudes to stomp other guys on the floor. Can't have it. Clown show. Chicken bleep.
#Kings
If you're bitching about the Brissett deal, I'm not sure what to tell you. Did you want to give $15M guaranteed to Minshew? You want 38 YO Flacco? You want Sam Darnold? I mean, WTF are we doing?
#Patriots
Any
#Patriots
fans watching the 49ers? Yeah, this is what Belichick should have aspired to build. Special skill players that are YAC machines to help a stationary QB along with an aggressive defense. Instead, well...Today.
Quit a great career to move back w/o a job due to SERIOUS family reasons. I'm just trying to survive and do what I love. I talk about sports. That's it. If you invest your time to take personal shots or try to negatively impact my pod, it says a lot more about you than me.
Not sure if it's goodbye, see ya later or see ya soon. Hopefully, the latter. But IF it happens to be over, I've appreciated and enjoyed my time at EEI over the last seven months. I love talking Boston sports. Thank you to those who listened. Cheers! 🍻
No Monk. No Huerter. No problem. I only spent ~18 months in Sacramento, but I know how LIT that city will be after sending the Warriors home. Even sweeter that the '22 draft looks like a HR. Soak it in
#Kings
fans for the next 48, then send the Pels packing!
#LightTheBeam
Some: "The
#Patriots
are being cheap!"
Me: "Henry got the 2nd best TE deal. Dugger offered $13M per, while every safety other than McKinney hasn't cracked $8M AAV. Onwenu got $19M per.
Them: "Oh, signing your own. Yipee!!"
Me:
It's safe to say that
@kirkmin
& I will never agree on my Belichick/Media tweet, but I do appreciate the fact that Kirk's guys reached out to have me on the show. He didn't have to do that, but he did. He gave me the opportunity to go back and forth. That's fair.
🚨Personal News🚨
Thrilled for the huge challenge that lies ahead...Can’t be more thankful for my time at ESPN Radio 94.1 & Max Media…I’ll have many more thoughts in due time. Grateful.
RE: De'Aaron Fox - If you're a fan who complains about athletes not playing through injuries, you can't then complain when that athlete isn't playing great while they play through said injuries.
#Kings
#Kings
just won the best regular season game in NBA history. On the 2nd night of a back-to-back, on the road and in double OT. I want to do a show tomorrow. Absolutely amazing.
#LightTheDamnBeam
VERY telling part of the conversation with Robert Kraft on College Gameday. Listen carefully to what
@PatMcAfeeShow
says at the end here and all RKK does is shake his hand.
#Patriots
To break into Boston radio is tough. Drive time is even tougher. To be successful at it is another level. To be as successful as T&R was, is special. Especially for 15+ years. Hoping for the best for both of them.
Professional News: Thrilled to tweet that I've agreed on a part-time deal w/
@ESPNRadio
. I'll be filling in on a variety of shows. First shift will be "GameNight" on Saturday, Jan. 5th from 8p-12a. Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for so many, including the listeners. Thank you. 👊
No pulse. At home with a crowd that was ready to explode. Hideous effort. Bullied from the second quarter on. Pissed that it's Paul Pierce day and they throw this shit out there.
The
#Patriots
are hiring
#Rams
assistant special teams coach Jeremy Springer as their new special teams coach under Jerod Mayo, source said. A rising young coach and another Sean McVay disciple.
We have to stop saying that the
#Patriots
could get "three first-round picks" from MINN, if the deal is
#11
,
#23
, & a '25 first-round pick. That's TWO first-round picks. You're not adding
#11
, you're swapping better for worse.
Davion Mitchell tells me that Hali, Fox and himself were not going to work out long-term. He said at some point they kind of knew that somebody had to go.
#Kings
Can't overstate how big that
#Kings
trade *could* be from last night. Weapons at their disposal:
- $12M TPE
- $35.6M in cap space
- $12.4M Full MLE
They can add a big-named FA, trade for a legit bench player AND use the MLE to bring in one or two legit rotation pieces.
The De'Aaron Fox leap was one of the coolest things I got to witness, while in Sacramento. Guy is legit. Incredibly fun to watch and super grounded. Root for him hard.
De'Aaron Fox has scored 35+ points in four games this season.
Only two players have done so on more occasions:
Giannis Antetokounmpo - 6
Kevin Durant - 5
Yes, I'm a little annoyed that the QB who wouldn't show up to OTA's the past couple of years is running out to a school in Tampa to start working with his new teammates. During a pandemic.
One thing I've learned VERY quickly living in Sacramento: Kings fans love their Kings. Incredibly admirable given the awful run they've been on for 16 years.
Beyond basketball - Sabonis & DiVincenzo are two highly competitive individuals. We talk about culture all the time - These two will help shift the culture.
It's been a rough last 10 months. If there's one lesson I've learned and can pass on to anyone who is young and trying to figure out their future, it's this: Don't let your career define your life. That's a mistake I made and I'm still trying to find my way to this day. 👊
A good number of people have stopped following me over the past couple of weeks, after I've spoken my mind. I'd like to take this time to apologize....
To absolutely nobody.
Instead, thank you for bouncing and not clogging up my TL....✌️👍
Some people, including
@tomecurran
, were talking about what Jonathan Kraft says. I think he says: "I know, we have to watch this. We're not good enough."
Next Monday, "The Nick Cattles Show" will debut on YouTube. Monday-Friday at 3pm, thirty minutes of everything you need to know about the
#RedSox

#Patriots
,

&
#Bruins

Boston sports talk. Done different.
Just now on
@GetUpESPN
,
@WindhorstESPN
says he believes that the C's cleared more cap space last night so they could pursue one of the top PG's on the market.
The
#Kings
have Mike Brown who has experience utilizing Draymond as a passing big. They now bring Fernandez as the
#2
with experience w/ Jokic. Get ready for a lot of offense being run through Domas.
Take this for what it's worth: Both
@RapSheet
&
@MikeGarafolo
said on the NFL Network that Caleb Williams is NOT the consensus
#1
QB. Garafolo mentioned there are teams, plural, that think Jayden Daniels is
#1
.
#Patriots
I was open to dealing Jake DeBrusk at the deadline. Proving, again, why I'm a talk host and not NHL GM. Man, he was consistently the balls in this series.
Very good draft by the
#Patriots
. Crush job by the
#RedSox
. Dominant
#Celtics
performance. Exemplary showing by the
#Bruins
. Have a freaking Saturday, Boston. 🍻🍻
Doug Christie on Monte extension: "It's the right thing to do....The stability. We're beginning to have something that is sustainable. A good day for Sacramento."
Today marks four months since I've hosted a radio show. I miss it tremendously. I'm hopeful I'll be back on Boston radio one day. I'm happy to have started the pods and grateful to those who have supported them. You've kept me going through a difficult time. Thank you. 🍻
People crying over Cam making $5M - Read
@jeffphowe
today: "Backup quarterbacks earn plenty of guaranteed money, too: Taysom Hill ($17 million), Nick Foles ($17 million), Case Keenum ($8 million)..."
If Ridley stays in Jacksonville, there will be people who blame the
#Patriots
for being cheap. They'll say that Ridley isn't here because of the money. I will not agree with those people.
Mac Jones outplayed Jalen Hurts & was a top-5 AFC QB this week, even though:
- No Parker & JuJu playing ~50% of the snaps
- Two rookie OGs & Best O-Lineman out
- Zero run game
- Playing the league's best pass rush
- Bad weather
And, people still bitch. 🤷♂️
