It’s beginning to look a lot like leaf-peeping season. With flashes of color starting to emerge amidst the leafy green of New England’s landscapes, local experts say the 2018 fall foliage season is getting underway. Meteorologist David Esptein said so far there’s “not a lot of color,” but scattered pops of yellow, red, and orange are starting to appear. The important thing to remember, he said, is that while the vibrancy of the foliage is a little bit different each year, for the most part, there will always be color as the leaves change. “Some years are just spectacular and other years are just sort of mediocre,” Epstein said. “It’s basically a function of have the trees had adequate moisture during the course of the year, how much disease is there on the trees, and then you really want — ideally — cool nights and mild days heading through the foliage season. If you get a lot of really cold air, like temperatures down … [Read more...] about Here’s what experts are saying about the 2018 fall foliage season in New England

What Boston sports radio is saying about the Patriots’ rocky start
When the Patriots went to Detroit to face the Lions on Sunday, no one was sure what to expect. The Lions had been utterly embarrassed by the Jets in Week 1 and had two losses under their belts. Coming off of a loss themselves, the Patriots were looking to find an easy win in Detroit before heading back home to host the AFC East -leading Dolphins. Instead, Matt Patricia led the Lions to their first win of his career and the first of their season against Bill Belichick and his former team. Patricia handed Belichick his second consecutive loss of the season and, even if just for that one game, the student became the teacher. “The Lions did everything a lot better than we did tonight, so give them credit,” Belichick said after the 26-10 loss. “We just didn’t do anything well enough to give ourselves a chance to win. Similar situation to last week: Got behind early, played from behind, [and] just weren’t able to make it up. So, we’re going to have to work … [Read more...] about What Boston sports radio is saying about the Patriots’ rocky start

Carson Wentz is back under center for the Eagles — and he'll be throwing passes to old friend Jordan Matthews on Sunday. Nick Foles is returning to his backup role (for now). And the Super Bowl champions aren't getting a free pass from fans after a rough loss to the Bucs on Sunday. Here's a look at what they're saying about the Eagles heading into Philly's Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.Howie takes a shotThis is a great read from Bo Wulf of The Athletic, breaking down the behind-the-scenes moves that brought Wentz to Philly in the first place. My favorite tidbit? The fact that Howie Roseman has only ever had a drink in his office one time.I'm calling BS. There's no way that guy was sober the night Chip Kelly got fired... A day after news first broke of the trade — Maxwell, Alonso and the 13th overall pick in exchange for the eighth overall pick — word spread that the Dolphins had an issue with Maxwell’s physical. By this point, … [Read more...] about What they’re saying about Eagles: How much should we expect from Carson Wentz?
