Tom Brady explains making ‘concessions’ to be starting quarterback at age 38: “Sometimes, it’s hard to cut things out, for me where I cut is like my friends, they probably don’t get as much time as they used to,” Brady said. “When you’re one of the leaders of the team, there are no days off.” (ABC.com)

Red Sox starter Sean O’Sullivan says it was ‘surreal’ to get a win in a Red Sox jersey: “I’ve been here before, but I haven’t actually pitched here before so when I saw Red Sox across my chest, I was like ‘This is pretty cool, man,'” O’Sullivan said. “How many people get to say they’ve started a game for the Boston Red Sox in Fenway? So that was pretty surreal.” (RedSox.com)
