    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    I wish people did read the article and the entire quote. It wasn't nearly as a swipe at Belichick as the headline writer made it out to be. The rest of the article quotes Adams in detail about reading routes and how Myers was good at it.

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    But yet none of these supposed people that supposedly know what they are talking about can provide any quotes from Mayo other than the one example of "spending money", which has been discussed already.

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    I think the only thing that he had to walk back was a throwaway comment about spending a lot of cash this offseason. Still, if there are quotes people don’t like, it would be good if people could point them out rather than assuming everyone knows which comments are being discussed. Not...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    It's important to differentiate "betting" and "betting on baseball games". The former may or may not result in any sanction from MLB, although a lengthly suspension could be in the offering if Ohtani was trying to conceal sports (non-baseball) betting. If he was betting on baseball, he will...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    The Dodgers do not have a police force. They are not responsible for tracking the movements of random associates of their players.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    His making a false statement to ESPN reporters is not a crime.

    Calvin Ridley, you in?

    What he said is harmless. Nobody is going to second guess coming here because of this.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Agree, shit like the above happens all the time and it's barely a paragraph on page 17. Or you hear about it watching a documentary on E! or some streaming service. You cannot always assume that celebrities have hired someone competent to manage their money. Or that they have given their...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    One was a throwaway comment made by a coach immediately after he was hired into his first head coaching position, and while roles in the rest of the organization were still being filled out, and while the free agent landscape was still being determined (many of the best players on offense...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I would agree that normally nobody would care if a friend of Ohtani's literally bet his mortgage money and lost a $4.5M bet on a soccer match made on DraftKings, even if the bet took place in CA. Nobody would be going to jail. What we have here is someone who bet a lot of money with an illegal...

    Onwenu had offseason ankle injury causing him to miss nearly all of training camp. He was listed on the injury report 5 of the team's first 7 games, and missed two of them. He looked better by the end of the season, IIRC, and graded out as one of the better OT's available this season on the...

    Thanks for the reminder….lol. If the Celtics don’t get out of the East, it will be a major disappointment.

    Mayo: Season 1

    Huge difference between meeting people in the building during the early part of the offseason, and when the actual practices start in anger in July. Trying to be someone he's not would be far worse than being friendly to a player's family.

    Ridley is not worth that contract. Sometimes it’s indeed better to let the player go. Ridley is not close to elite.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The problem is that getting pitchers, who have been trained to throw max effort all the time since their pre-teen years, to change their approach on a dime seems unrealistic. Especially when the "reward" would be to see balls thrown at half effort leave the yard.

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    The narrative around the 2020 draft for a while was the busting out of the 2 tight ends picked in the 3rd round. Glad to see that has shifted, but there was a period of time where this draft was looking bad. But Bill's problems went well beyond Mac and the 2020 draft; the crucial 2022 draft is...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Bolded the ones that you may have missed. I expect that at least 2 of those WRs will not be on the Opening Day roster. It is still the weakest unit on the team, and among one of the weakest in the league.

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    The good news with these re-signings is that the team doesn't have to patch holes just to tread water. Still players available to them that can help upgrade the roster, and then the draft. Normally, we don't get excited by so many players returning from a 4-13 team, but among their UFA's were...
