    What Are Fans Entitled To?

    Since the word comes up so often, it might be helpful to put some criteria or general paradigm to our entitlements. Big picture, as a casual fan, I expect the Sox to be one of the "haves;" what that means for me (and sorry for my lackadaisical research skills, I ask for help when needed): 1...

    What Do You Want For This Patriots Season

    Usual corona caveats aside, so assuming there is a season, where do you see this team and what are your priorities?

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocYCFlsTJac Did we know this was a thing already, because I just got home and saw the trailer on HBO for the first time. Wasn't sure which forum to post it in because it probably applies to every forum on every site ever created, but seemed best here.

    Wayne Gretzky (a question, he’s still not dead)

    This thread more or less came out of a random 4 AM thought project, but can anyone explain Wayne’s statistical dominance? I can’t think of any other sport where one athlete has put up scoring stats so far and away beyond what anyone else is currently doing except maybe Wilt’s PPG, which I...
