    Game 3, Jets, Dark Clouds

    Like my classmate, Gordie Lockbaum, I can go both ways. So here is the first (hopefully of many) threads looking at the concerning aspects of a win. Injuries —- always concerning: Godchaux, Ekuale, Henry (maybe), Strange (maybe). Killer instinct. This team didn’t need a come from behind...

    Game 2, Miami -- Silver Linings

    I might need @BaseballJones to fill this one out, as I'm not sure what I can say, but I'm committed to the idea that even in losses, there are silver linings, so I'll start. Christian Gonzalez. Two excellent games in a row going against the elite of the NFL. Brendan Schooler. It's a copycat...

    Game 1 Philly, Silver Linings

    I’ve often felt like these post-game discussions should have both sides noted. So I’m using this game/season as an experiment to see if it’s worth it. In yesterday’s loss, as in many games, there are a few good things, silver linings, that seem worth noting. To my eyes: Offensive...

    Best Bruin trade deadline acquisition -- all-time.

    This article lists their view of the Best (and worst) trade deadline deals that the Bruins have ever made, but I trust the collective knowledge and opinions of this group far more than any other source. The article also puts weight on long-time future considerations and I'm more interested (in...

    EPL for the first time

    My son is a huge fan of Christian Pulisic so we are going to London on his spring break in March in the hopes to see them play on 3/18. I’m wondering if anyone has any connections or contacts at Chelsea FC to help us get tickets (or better yet to arrange a meeting with CP). Barring that pipe...

    2023 Patriot OC: Dream your Dreams

    On Greenie’s morning radio show this morning, the question was posed: who should be calling the plays/OC for the Pats next year. Greenberg’s answer was basically “anyone but MP or JJ.” He went on to throw out a couple names of current head coaches who might not be employed come January, namely...

    Copying ripped songs from iPhone to iPhone (or laptop)

    I had about 1500 songs that I had ripped (burned?) from my old library of CDs. Somehow, on previous new iPhones, I had managed, either intentionally or inadvertently, to migrate all those songs to my new phone(s). I can't recall how, but I just know I did it. I think I used to use iTunes on...

    Bye Week reset

    In an article on BSJ today, Bedard urged the need for a "hard reset" to the Pats offense. Among his suggestions: Rethink the O-Line, in terms of who plays where. Bring in another coach or reset Patricia to let him focus on the Line only. Have BB call the plays. Focus on Jones, Mac Jones. Work...

    Most impressive stat from Brady era

    Talking football after a Pats loss always bums me out. Doing so on a day when their QB1 might be injured and the future looks a bit bleak, makes me think back to the golden years. This specific topic came to me while driving in my car this morning, listening to sports radio (NYC-area) talk...

    Best Red Sox defensive CF

    Perhaps this discussion has been had before, but these quotes in the "Red Sox Youth" thread made me wonder who was the best? I've offered up 6 well-known names (although I'm not sure how many of us can say we saw Reggie Smith play, let alone Dom D!

    Pats OLine Discussion

    I think most people on this board, if not nationwide, see the Pats' OLine as their biggest question mark right now, and maybe their biggest weakness, at least on the offensive side of the ball. This is especially odd and disconcerting as it certainly appeared to be a rock-solid strength heading...

    2022 Patriots Depth Chart

    I did this last year and thought it proved useful and discussion-worthy, so I'm going to give it another go. With the draft now behind us, it's time to look at the Pats depth chart, position by position. I'll keep it updated as more changes happen. 2021 listing refers to the end of the season...

    NBA 2022 Year-end awards

    Hollinger has an article in the Athletic today with his mythical ballot (he honest actually have a real vote anywhere) for all the big awards. Some highlights as it concerns Celtics: Jayson Tatum, 5th place MVP. (His MVP: Jokic) Jayson Tatum, 1st team All-NBA (with Luka, Giannis, Jokic, +...

    4-man rotation

    I know the idea of 6-man rotations have been beat to death here and elsewhere over the last 20 years. But I want to propose a new/old idea: the 4-man rotation. Considering that most starters are increasingly rarely asked to pitch more than 5 innings anymore, due to health and effectiveness, I...

    2022 Top MLB prospects per Keith Law.

    All-Time NFL Head Coaches -- Super Bowl era only

    Inspired by these quotes, I decided to start a thread. I first thought we could do the SOSH-tradition of making this a tread with nominations that can then turn into a poll of sorts. But since we aren't just trying to name #1 or even #2 after a certain hoodie-wearing dude in Foxboro, maybe we...

    Interpersonal player battles/bullying

    So my son is on a competitive club soccer team, U11. They are playing in the top level for CT soccer teams. He is one of two keepers. Most of the team has been together (via another club) since they were 6 or 7. My won (and one other field player) joined this core this past September, which...

    We're on to next season, but first . . .

    So it's time to put 2021 in the rear view, but as we do, we should look back at the good, the bad and the ugly from 2021. Successes: Judon's first 13 games. He was a legit DPOY candidate. JC's ball-hawking. He tied two all-time greats in Lester Hayes and Everyone Walls for most INT's thru his...

    Good fundraisers for youth sports

    I’m the assistant coach on a summer league baseball team in Milford CT. It’s not an affiliated league (ie neither Little League nor Cal Ripken) so we’re mostly on our own for funds. Last year (9U) each kid/family paid $75 for the season. This coming summer (10U), we’re looking to travel down...
