    Mike Gorman’s last game as voice of the Celtics.

    I was at the game yesterday. The tributes were really well done, and the vibe in the Garden was awesome, plus the love for Mike was palpable. Every time out through the first half they showed pre-taped thanks/tributes/etc. from former players, execs, other broadcasters. Really a great feel good...

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Every great organization needs someone with a vision and the ability to carry it through. He was that person. As so many others have said, we don't get any of the last 20 years without his vision.

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    8am, they're arguing about whether Dan Orlovsky farted on the Pat MacAfee show? Instant switch to Sirius. Didn't go back for the whole commute.

    I'm hate-listening at this point. It stinks.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    Good heavens, that'd be awful. Rich and almost anyone else (probably not Adam Jones) might have a shot at competing with F&M. Rich and Gresh would be suicide by shouting.

    Deadspin is Burning

    Well, that seems like the logical conclusion to that story.

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    Fred's fascination with it is precisely what makes it so weird! I have the same tastes. Give me Julie Bowen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Toyota Jan.

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    I think the concept is funny and the women they've included is clever. Fred is making it more weird and less funny than it should be. (and I think my posts here show that I'm not an anti-Fred poster)

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    I can't decide whether I think March Flatness is funny or cringeworthy, but I'm leaning toward the latter.

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Well, yeah. And signing a bunch of middling free agents around Mac Jones - and then screwing him over in years two and three - probably delayed that rebuild by three years. I’d rather they keep the powder dry this year, see how things lie in training camp and then act accordingly. If you end up...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    There's a reason SOSH is the only place I go for fan-based local sports content. Even at its game-thready worst it never remotely comes close to the dumpster fire of twitter/facebook/some of the people on my group text

    Deadspin is Burning

    I’d argue the opposite. The funbag and jamboroo are fratty KSK throwbacks, playing the hits to his fans. He still does good work elsewhere but his regular bits haven’t changed.

    Deadspin is Burning

    That's definitely true. It was pretty douchey for a long time. Defector mostly keeps away from that stuff but Magary's still very much the same as he ever was

    Deadspin is Burning

    Never, and I doubt it'll ever happen. Daulerio's been on an image rehab tour the last few years (following a stint in actual rehab). I haven't seen anyone be particularly hard on him, and he even did an interview with Jenn Sterger as part of the tour.

    Who starts Week 1 at QB for the Patriots?

    This is sort of where I was headed with my question. If you're easing a rookie QB in but a) not giving them meaningful snaps and b) having them sit behind a flawed stopgap (this isn't Brady in Tampa or even Montana in KC), aren't you effectively punting a season? Are you shooting for another...
