5. DeflateGate was still a big waste of time.

2015 engulfed us with DeflateGate, and 2016 was the year in which the NFL finally got what they wanted, a Tom Brady suspension. Oh…wait… the Patriots went 3-1 without Brady and are poised for another Super Bowl run with him at the helm. Meanwhile, Roger Goodell’s favorability is continuing to plummet along with NFL television ratings, indicating that the sums of money used to protect “the integrity of the game” were all for not.

4. Boston is still an unlikely free agent landing spot in the NBA.

Six months ago, Green teamers were salivating over the possibility of Kevin Durant coming to the Boston Celtics during free agency. But because he can’t beat the Golden State Warriors in Oklahoma City, he decided to join the Warriors in his attempt to get back at LeBron James for beating him in the only Finals he’s been to. Man, that sounds like the same ol’ NBA drama. For the Celtics, the move means that there is still work to be done in terms of becoming an attractive landing place for NBA superstars.

3. The Bruins still can’t score.

2016 began for the Boston Bruins with a 5-1 shellacking at Gillette Stadium during the Winter Classic at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens. The year is ending with the Bruins in desperate need of a spark after losing eight of the last thirteen. Currently, they also sit 24th in the NHL in goals per game. That being said, they are somehow still present in the playoff picture, much attribution belonging to David Pastrnak and his nineteen goals.

2. David Price still can’t win in October.

1.Tom Brady is still the GOAT.

Despite the NFL doing everything in their power recently to belittle him, Tom Brady remains the greatest quarterback in history. He is currently marching toward potentially his seventh Super Bowl appearance after eclipsing the 200 win mark. While Dak Prescott and Matt Ryan may win the MVP, Brady’s unprecedented stats at his age make an argument otherwise. We’ve known this for years, but Tom Brady is the greatest.
