I agree with almost nothing Howard Eskin says, and he’s been wrong on just about every original report since 2012, but here’s one that’s interesting:

Here we go. It’s pick on Paps time, and quite honestly, that’s just fine with me. But is there anything to this? Meh. It’s tough to tell. There are none of the social media pictures that generally accompany [a recognizable athlete] partying in [a major city], and it seems Papelbon’s wife, Ashley, and daughter were in NY this weekend (hanging out with Jacoby Ellsbury’s wife), too, making a “late night” less likely. So, pics or GTFO.
