Going to Giants as scout

https://mybuzzforkids.org/page/woody

I am buzzing my head to raise money for my friend/colleague Jared and his 4 year old daughter who has kidney cancer. Jared is a great guy and dad who has been thrown into a situation every parent dreads.

Maybe we could all take $10 that we would use on our next single game parlay and give to a good cause.

Thanks in advance guys

Grilled chicken quarters, Rib eyes, red potatoes and Green beans for dinner

There have been a lot of them over the last 7-10 days.

Meet new BC targets from the 2025, 2026, and 2027 classes.

I have a granddaughter visiting from London in July.

Is it possible to visit the BC campus?

Are there any official campus tours from the Admissions Department?

Details revealed are going to make this one tough to explain away.

Just saw and it was funny, sad , moving and entertaining.

Figured an ACC title story deserved to go in the Nest forum...

Biggest draft night for Pats fans in 20 years. Not a fan of Maye, would rather see a Harrison/Penix combo than a Maye/WR miss with the first two picks. I am guessing they will trade back with Minnesota.

There are several prospects with local ties who could hear their names called at this week’s NFL Draft. Here’s a look at 10 players with New England roots with a chance to reach the next level.
1. OL Zak Zinter, Michigan: Many believed this North Andover native was on a fast track to the first round before he suffered a broken tibia in November, but the 6-foot-6-inch, 309-pounder is still considered an NFL-quality starter at guard. An All-American who went to Buckingham Browne & Nichols , he started 42 games in his college career.
2. DB Mike Sainristil, Michigan: The 5-9, 182-pounder, who played at Everett High before winning a national championship with the Wolverines, could be the first local off the board. A smart, durable defensive back who also played receiver in college, he had six interceptions last season.

Sainristil, who grew up a Patriots fan, would welcome a homecoming, or a reunion with Jim Harbaugh, the former Michigan coach now leading the Chargers.

“To play for the Patriots would be awesome,” he said. “Who wouldn’t want to play for their hometown team?
“If [Harbaugh] decides that he wants me back on his team, then it would be great to play for him again. But at the end of the day, whatever coach decides to give me an opportunity, I’m just looking to make the most of it.”

3. OL Christian Mahogany, Boston College: This 6-3, 314-pounder is a powerful presence along the interior. A Day 2 possibility, the New Jersey native and first-team All-ACC lineman has had visits with several teams, including New England and Houston.
Mahogany hopes to join a line of BC offensive linemen (such as Dan Koppen, Damien Woody, Anthony Castonzo, and Tom Nalen) to make the leap to the NFL.

“Boston College, because of that lineage, those people, for me and hopefully those people after me, that’s why I went to BC,” Mahogany said.
4. OL Kyle Hergel, Boston College: Another strong and sturdy interior presence, the 6-3, 302-pounder from Canada was second-team All-ACC last year. He also spent time at the University of North Dakota and Texas State, and put the wraps on his college career with 55 straight starts at guard while practicing at center.
5. DB Elijah Jones, Boston College: Jones, who had five interceptions last season, made an impression at the combine with a 42½-inch vertical, best among cornerbacks. In addition, the 6-1½, 185-pounder posted a 4.44 40 time, 10th in his position group.

6. OL Christian Haynes, Connecticut: A 6-3, 317-pound guard, Haynes is projected by many to be a Day 2 option. He started 49 games for the Huskies and was a third-team All-American as a junior and senior.
7. DE Eric Watts, Connecticut: This 6-6, 274-pounder, who had seven sacks in 2022, likely projects as a pass-rush specialist, at least in the early stages of his NFL career. He was certainly impressive at the combine, landing in the top 10 among defensive ends in the three-cone, vertical, and broad jump.
8. WR Jalen Coker, Holy Cross: Coker has speed to burn; his 4.57 40 at the combine was faster than Florida State’s heralded receiver Keon Coleman. Toss in the fact that the 6-1, 208-pounder led FCS in touchdown catches last season with 15, and it should be enough to find him a spot somewhere on an NFL roster, either as a late-round pick or an undrafted free agent.

9. RB Dylan Laube, New Hampshire: The 5-10, 206-pounder led FCS in all-purpose yards last season (209.5 yards per game), was No. 2 in touchdowns (18) and points per game (10.8), and third in kick-return average (31.1 yards). He had an excellent showing at the combine, one that included a top-five finish among running backs in the three-cone drill, which could quash any small-school bias against him.
A Westhampton, N.Y., native, he says he would welcome the chance to stay in New England and play for the Patriots.
“That would be awesome. To be honest, that’s been my home the past decade. So that would be pretty cool,” said Laube. “One of their scouts, Matt Evans, actually went to UNH. So we’ve always talked a bunch, and connected with him a bunch.”
10. DB Jarrett Martin, Rhode Island: This 6-3, 220-pounder out of Franklin has split time between linebacker and safety, but likely projects as a defensive back at the next level. He was one of several local prospects invited to a Pro Day at Gillette Stadium, a group that included Hergel and Coker.
