Bob Lobel, Mike Lynch, and John Dennis were the Kings Of Boston TVSports. They fought it out every night with The Best Sports Broadcasts this City has ever seen. They got up to 5 minutes which is a lifetime in TV. Lynchie outlasted them all. He was the Lou Gehrig of TV Sports
I just learned Mike Curtis of the Baltimore Colts died. He was the first player I drafted in 1965. He should be in the HOF. He was suffering fromCTE when I talked to him a fewYrs ago.He lost all his money because of the Illiness.When I put down the phone I cried.I mourn him today
I watched the disgraceful performance by Rep Byron Donald who repeatedly refused to answer George Stephanopoulos’s question about Trump race baiting of Kamala Harris. It was disgusting watching Donald sell his soul for Trump . I’ve never seen Stephanopoulos that angry .
I had Jim Plunkett his first two years. If he could have gotten the pass protection here he would have been a great QB. As it stands he still should be considered a HOF player as far as I’m concerned.
The real story isn’t Robert Kraft, it’s that these women were being held against their will, forced into prostitution. The real story is human trafficking and sex slavery here in the United States. Sorry to be a buzzkill.
My Brother Bert Bell Jr died today. He was the most generous person I’ve known .Even though he left Football yrs ago He shared our Family’s love of the game and particularly the NFL players. He left big amount to the NFLPA to study CTE and it’s horrendous effects on the Brain.
Today is my birthday.I have lived Through 14 President’s,WW2, The Great Depression. Korea, Vietnam, The Kennedy Assassination, The Great Civil Rights crusade,the rise of the African American Athlete,The 2000 Supreme Court decision.That said I never seen our Country in worse Shape
Spokesman denies that Trump rhetoric echoes that of dictators like Hitler and Mussolini and declares that those who say it does will find "their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House."

Lang Lang was a Child Prodigy who emigrated from China and became of the World's Greatest Pianist. Tonight at Tanglewood at the age of 36 he played the beautiful Mozart Piano Concerto . Under Trumps present policy he would not have been able to emigrate
To me the greatest Patriot of the last 10 years would not be Brady it was Julian Edelman. He won more big games than anybody. He got Brady off the Hook in 2 Super Bowl’s. He was a throwback to the players I admired in the past. In the biggest games Julian showed upand Performed
Today is Bert Bell Day. 85 YRs ago he proposed a Draft that would save the NFL. In 1936 in Philly his dream came true. 9 Owners gathered in His Father’s Hotel for 1st Draft. No Press came. It was a gathering of 9 desperate men trying to save their League.They made history !
She should decline a WH ceremony, and arrange to be sworn in at a small private ceremony at the Court. Would be symbolically appropriate and important, and would reassure the country she will be independent of the president who appointed her.
Still can’t believe they called offsides.
Chiefs got screwed. Looks ok to me.
Andy Reid should’ve at least gotten a warning & Mahomes should receive a public apology for the error:
Is there a weaker or less informed Owner in Boston than Charlie Jacobs? Is there a worst combination of President and GM than Cam Neely and Don Sweeney. Right now the Bruins have a bleak future .
Today I salute my Father Bert Bell who Volunteered for WW1 while still in College. He was cited for Bravery in the Field by General Pershing. He never told me the story. I only learned it after his death. What a Man!
This is the Original Document signed by my Father Bert Bell to grant the Baltimore Colts membership in the The NFL in 1953.He persuaded Carroll Rosenbloom,whom he Coached atPenn to buy the new Franchise . My Super Bowl Ring in1971 is in the Upton Bell Collection at UMass,Amherst
I when first met John Madden he was an Asst at SD State.From the 1st time I met him I knew he was something special.I got to know him when he became the HC of the Raiders.When I came to the Patriots he would call with advice.He was one of the great Characters I met.

@realDonaldTrump
Like Watergate All The Presidents Men are convicted Felons. When is it his turn to be prosecuted. He is not above the law

@GlobeKPD
He changed the 49er's and Montana forever. They should put on his tombstone The Man of the CATCH. He and Willie Mays will always be remembered for their Catches. RIP Dwight, A man of Great Class
On Jan 1 , 1917 In The Rose Bowl My Father QB Bert Bell led His U of Pennsylvania Team against the Oregon Ducks. He threw the first pass in Rose Bowl History. Oregon beat Penn 14-0.
As far as players complaining about Belichick in Dynasty .Players always bitch about their Coach.When Paul Brown was fired by the Browns the players bitched about him.This is a Kraft Production no matter what they say. It’s payback. What a shame the greatness comes down to this
One of the most memorable evenings I can remember. It was Spring 1971my first with the Patriots.I found out John Madden was in town. I got a hold of him &we had dinner which was crashed by another legend Will Mc Donough. It went on for Hrs with incredible stories by the John&Will
@coachbillcurry
Bill, Paul was a great friend and a very funny man. He would get up and sing in Bars. He scored 5 TD’s against in the Fog in 65. He could do everything on a Football Field. I did not find him to be a big ego person . I just remember his laugh. Like you he was a very loyal person
It was 1962 and The Great Art Donovan was being honored &saying Goodbye. He started crying in a speech reminiscent of Lou Gehrig’s speech.I was on the field for it .The crowd was deafening. Art fought in the Battle of Midway. I paid tribute to him & Others in my interview on WW2
How many People know the Steelers original Name was the Pittsburgh Pirates . Art Rooney and my Father agreed to join the NFL Together 1933. My Father founded The Eagles and Rooney the Pittsburgh Pirates
The NFL will play a triple header on Christmas Day for the first time.The NBA will play a triple header on Christmas Day. Both Leagues said God wanted it that way.
On this day in 1933 Bert Bell and Lud Ray founded the The Philadelphia Eagles after buying the Frankford Yellowjackets out of bankruptcy. Bell renamed them the Philadelphia Eagles. My mother Frances UPTON gave him the money . He later founded the NFL Draft.
Tom Matte of the Baltimore Colts died last night.I was with the Colts for most of his Career.Tom could do anything . He was a RB as well as playing QB in one of the great playoffs of the 60’s against The Packers in 1965. A missed FG that was called good cost us the game .RIPTom
I remember Carl Weathers before he was Apollo Creed in Rocky. It was Sept 1971 and we the Patriots were playing our opening game against the Oakland Raiders and Carl Weathers was the starting LB & a pretty good one. We upset the Raiders that day . Rip Apollo Creed
Carl Weathers, who turned charisma, talent, hard work and athleticism into a 50-year acting career, died today at 76.
View a gallery of Weathers long and varied career here:
This is the Bert Bell Gold Coin that the NFL owns. It was used for the Coin Flip in 2017 for the Celebration Of The 100 Anniversary Of U of Pennsylvania in the Rose Bowl. The Game was Harvard VS Penn
Bob Neumeier, great sportscaster and better storyteller, will be missed - The Boston Globe.This one of Kevin Paul Dupont’s Best. Bob Neumeier was one of the great Characters when this town had great Characters in Sports &Media. He and Lobel ruled the earth
56 yrs ago my Father Bert Bell was inducted in the Inaugural Class of the Pro Football HOF. He was a QB, Owner, Coach &Commissioner Of The NFL.He was the only man to ever do that.He loved the game and it Players . He gambled everything on the League making it.I think of him today
I never realized how much I missed a real President until tonight while watching Peter Souza’s Life in the White House with President Reagan and Later with President Obama
Harvard Stadium is still one of the great Stadiums in the world. There is not a bad seat. The sight lines are perfect. It’s a tradition to run the steps to the top. I now walk them. Many people here today testing their Mettle!!

oust Washington, 35-20.
A double-barrel rushing attack of Chuck Foreman (105 yds, 2 TD) and Brent McClanahan (101 yds) leads the charge. Fran Tarkenton throws 3 TD aerials, two to Rookie of the Year WR Sammy White.
How awful watching a 15 year old fall and break down terribly at the end.She was used by that Monster of a Coach and theOlympic Committee. Will Kamila Valieva ever be the same. This is an embarrassment to the IOC and Russia. The whole scene was awful to watch and sad.
The he Person who is going to emerge from this Crisis as a National Hero is 79 year old Dr Anthony Fauci. He is working 19 HR Days to inform the public while dealing with Trump trying to Muzzle Him. He is everything we admire about a great Doctor
Happy Fathers Day!The last timeI saw my Father was Oct 11,1959.The 2 Teams he use to Own the Eagles & Steelers were playing at Franklin Field where he was The Penn QB.He died in the last 2 min of the game as the EaglesTommy MacDonald crossed the goal line.I think of him every day
98.5 replaying the dreadful Tom Brady SR ’s called anything for the ratings interview and replay. I bet it’s replayed all day and night. It’s only going get worse next week . They will be whipping up the fans next week. It’s so transparent
Russ Francis, former Patriots tight end, killed in Lake Placid plane crash. Russ Frances had it all as a player, broadcaster &personality.I did a weekly radio show with Russ for almost a year. I always felt there was something missing.Unfulfilled promise
Congratulations to my former and first partner Bob Lobel who won the Gold Circle Award at the New England Emmy Awards for contributions that span 50 years. Bob was the first and best partner I had on radio. I laughed Every day !
This is a Football signed by Otto Graham that sold for 5, 000. If you notice it has Bert Bell as Commissioner on it. He helped design the white ball with black stripes for Night Football .He sold the TV rights to the Dumont Network for Saturday Night Game of the week in the 50’s.
While we are on John Henry for not spending on the Red Sox we should also be critical of Bob Kraft for spending on a Lighthouse while not spending on Players
