    What is next for BB?

    I love shenanigans, but that crew just isn't that funny. That said, I actually think some lightheartedness + Bill dropping knowledge every 7 minutes or so looks like a recipe for excellent tv so I support the McAfee pairing at least a bit.

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    The more I read on the WRs, I want DeJean or Suamataia at this pick. Either give me elite tackle upside or BPA. Corner is in decent shape, but it's not 0 need and I think an elite defense is one of the best chances the team has of surprising this year or next anyways. Btw, for the more informed...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    The Penix move is just a real headscratcher. The nicest possible thing I can say is that it might have been a good move a year from now. Cousins gets a huge deal with the intention of competing for a Super Bowl literally this year. I also have to assume that even though it's get-out-of-able...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Isn't it also kind of as simple as QBs picked as high as 1 bust all the time, and top 10 WR/LT picks generally don't? I get that that logic goes out the window if you're trading all the way back to 11 and staying there, but history would suggest that MHJ is a much safer prospect than Drake Maye...

    What is next for BB?

    The Krafts turning out to be utter embarrassments is maybe the most surprising part of the end of the run for me. Straight out of the FSG playbook trashing beloved guys on the way out. I feel like they’ve deeply miscalculated the degree to which bill is a god in New England and if anything...

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    Yeah I’ve never understood the hate for the white helmet jet uniforms, they could have stood to be modernized, but the 90s jets look is very arena football to me. also I think the collars on these look horrible haha

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I don't disagree with your general point - that truly elite QBs will contend more consistently that merely good ones on great teams. That seems like kind of a foregone conclusion, the position has the most potential to singlehandedly elevate a team, and it seems likely that keeping 1 great...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Tampa Tom experience bummed me out a lot, but at this point if you wouldn't love to seem him hoist a Lombardi in SF, I dunno. I could honestly talk myself into it making sense for a New England return, too.

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Feels as simple to me as "is Bronny up for the ridicule he's going to get if it means playing in the NBA/playing in the NBA with his dad?" If yes, I don't really see any problem with this. Lebron is still valuable enough on the court and in getting asses in seats to be worth two roster spots...

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I kind of feel like (if you think the shootout is gimmicky and a problem) the solution is simple - 3 points for a "pure" win, 2 points for a SO win, 1 point for a SO loss. Every game worth the same total 3 points, and the shootout counted less than winning outright. (I'd probably be inclined to...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    You and me both, man. At least with TB it was just about the end. Much harder to stomach with perhaps a literal decade of prime left at the time of the deal (and to go for a low value return centerpieced by an asshole). Irreversible damage to my enjoyment of the game.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I’m coming around to wanting them to trade back to the Giants pick if Maye isn’t there. The low ceiling take on Daniels is incredibly depressing. At 6 you’re looking at multiple of Nabers, Odunze, Alt, and McCarthy still there and you’ve acquired extra draft capital to take a safer pick or at...

    The Fenway Park Experience

    Eliminating capacity would only make ticket prices balloon at a rate beyond what they already have. Feels like a nonstarter to me on that point alone. That said, I'm on the Fenway forever bandwagon - it's just not nearly bad enough that losing the charm and history would be worth it. Modernize...
