    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    Honestly I couldn't care less. I mean, if they come to the DC area I'm happy because I can probably go see them. But I think a lot of this interest is fabricated by the betting/fantasy sports industry. I play fantasy sports. But I don't bet on it. I think a lot of fantasy football comes down to...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    i saw this live and my thought was it was a lapse of concentration.

    Current State of the O Line

    Meh - To me it feels like the OL worked itself out eventually last year - where early we were bad but Brown Mafi Andrews Sow Onwenu was a decent (not great) line. Add in some depth with Strange/Okorafor Wallace/Robinson and it really seems like the only hole is LT. I think the plan is to try...

    Yoshida to IL

    Chris Murphy, Brian Mata - someone gets to start and someone else gets to swing.

    Yoshida to IL

    So let me get this straight Sox DL (or IL or whatevs): DH Yoshida C Heineman 1B Casas 2B Grissom SS Story 3B (wait - Devers didn't need to go on the DL - just dealt with the pain SP Giolito SP Pivetta SP Bello SP Whitlock. What's the matter? We don't have any outfielders? Oh Yeah - 2B/OF R...

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    So.. I’ve been doing some back of the napkin analysis. But between the excellent starting pitching, the decent bullpen and the hitting that seems to be coming around, are we actually a good baseball team? The team has had a lot of questions in the past. And it still does now, but it seems that...

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

    It's amusing the angst about going against consensus picks - here is Nate Tice's top 100 on yahoo from before the draft: Note Maye at 1 and Polk at 34 https://sports.yahoo.com/2024-nfl-draft-final-top-100-big-board-goes-in-depth-on-all-the-key-prospects-ahead-of-draft-weekend-130054234.html

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

    You can choose which WR to cover, but you can't choose which pass rusher your going to block The argument for LT vs RT is covering the QB's blind side - not that you're necessarily facing the better pass rushers I have no argument with them trading back per se - I just wish they'd gotten...

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    I know all there is to know about the crying game. But seriously, when they held Masa out of the lineup on Sunday, I was worried he had joined the injury train as well. We certainly feel snakebit.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    If it's just money - I'm all for it (after all, it's not my money). And yes - Pittsburgh's ballpark is beautiful - the whole setup with the bridges is nice too. Definitely not what I had pictured Pittsburgh to be based off of old mill towns I grew up near in New England. We had a great time...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    Yeah - I watched Dalbec play while I was at the games this weekend in Pittsburgh. Yes - he struck out too often. Yes his batting average dropped to .038. (Yes - our entire lineup looked like it in Worcester. - especially Sunday) But he kept his head in the game. He played good defense. He made...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    You want a parade in my town, you have to pay. I'm hearing that if Maye is still there at three, the Vikings would "move heaven and earth" to get him. You're asking us to drop out of the top ten - past the top 4 QB's, the ELITE top 3 WR1's, no Joe Alt, no Brock Bowers. No, an offer of 11,23...

    Three day out check-in

    FWIW - one qb I really like for next year is Riley Leonard. Played for Duke last year, will play for ND this.
