Bob Socci

Despite his Georgia roots, his drawl and his unbinding love for Atlanta’s Braves, David Andrews fit this region as well as any local pro athlete of the past decade.  Throughout his @patriots career, he showed that there was nowhere else he’d rather be. 985thesportshub.com/2025/06/06/soc…

Former Celtics Champion Leon Powe joined @@BobSocci at Pine Street Inn fundraiser for a moving conversation about his own experience with homelessness, second chances and the resilience that shaped his path to the NBA.

Thanks to everyone who attended Tuesday's Home Remedy in support of the @PineStreetInn. I know it's trite to say, but it was a huge privilege to have a very small part in an event that exemplifies our community at its best and to listen to @Leon_Powe tell his powerful story.

The first day of @Patriots training camp featured puppies, sunshine and a much-needed, much-appreciated drama-free practice that gave a sizable crowd plenty of reason to feel good. 985thesportshub.com/2025/07/23/soc…

Socci’s Notebook: Puppies bring sunshine to Patriots practice 985thesportshub.com/2025/07/23/soc…

I can’t recall a single All-Star Game from the past decade, but I can see this play by Dave Parker in the 1979 Midsummer Classic (when it was exactly that) with every mention of the Cobra. Even as I hear the sad news of his passing. RIP.

Center of attention.

Receiver Stefon Diggs, present and accounted for at Monday’s @Patriots OTA practice.

Bill Belichick had his hoodies. Mike Vrabel has his vest. But like his ex-coach as a @Patriots HOF linebacker (and predecessor in his current role), Vrabel is a hands-on teacher on the practice fields. For every position, in any facet of the game. 985thesportshub.com/2025/06/01/soc…

Like TV's fictional Roy Kent, @Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is "here, he's there, he's every...where" during practice. Before Monday's OTA, I wrote about his "hands-on" approach to coaching for @985TheSportsHub. (Unlike Kent, Vrabel uses a whistle.) 985thesportshub.com/2025/06/01/soc…

One, and done. Kayshon Boutte at ⁦@Patriots⁩ OTA’s on Tuesday.

Always fun joining Andrew amid the May Madness of the NFL’s schedule release. This was an especially deep dive, talking quarterback containment and edge-tackle matchups. And an emotional one, looking forward to a farewell visit to one of the league’s oldest venues.

Thank you to the great Maria Stephanos for telling my story. If you're struggling, you're not alone. wcvb.com/article/after-…

Our first look at the ⁦@Patriots⁩ first-round pick Will Campbell in rookie mini-camp.

Julian Edelman delivered at the most critical moments in the biggest games, and did it in spectacular ways. He also set himself apart in practices and pregame warmups — always first on the field well before kickoff, painstakingly watching throw after throw into his red gloves.

I've been awed while calling NFL games before tens of thousands of international fans in Mexico City and Europe. Learning about some of the faces in those crowds moved me to realize in a more personal way how far the game has expanded its reach. 985thesportshub.com/2025/04/30/soc…

I’ve seen broad examples of the NFL’s expanding popularity calling games in Mexico City and Europe. Learning about a face in those crowds helped to put a face on a reminder that the NFL's appeal reaches well beyond our coastlines. For @985TheSportsHub: 985thesportshub.com/2025/04/30/soc…
