    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This is hockey. The road team wins in hockey a lot. Toronto is very evenly matched against Boston. The Bruins won 5-1 and then lost 3-2. Obviously aggregate goals aren’t a thing because a win is a win no matter the difference but Boston has 7 goals to 4 for Toronto. I’d fully expect Boston to...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I think the odds of Harrison being a great NFL player is extraordinarily high, while the odds of Maye being a great player might be no better than like 50/50. Of course, QB is a far more important position but I think the success odds of a guy like MHJ has to be as high as any draft pick in...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Strikeouts are outs, but they’re unproductive outs. Obviously they’re better than double play balls (almost always), but they’re not remotely as good as sac flies or grounders that move runners up a base. And putting the ball in play, even when hit right at fielders, always opens the possibility...

    2024-25 UConn Men's Hoops: Defending the Throne Again

    Hurley approaches team building like Herb Brooks does in Miracle: When Asst. Coach Patrick questions his choices for the final roster and says that some of the best players aren't on the list, Brooks replies, "I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones."...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Imagine the past Celtics teams with Bam instead of Robert Williams.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Maybe the Bruins just aren't quite as good as their point total would suggest. I know they got a lot of points for overtime losses, but they were still losses. If you go by just W-L, Toronto was 46-36 while Boston was 47-35. So basically dead even. I expect this to be a knock-down, drag-out...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Daniels was a statistical monster while playing in the best conference in the country. He went up against four teams that finished in the top 10 in the rankings. FSU (#6) - 22-37, 346 yds, 1 td, 1 int, 64 rush yds Ole Miss (#9) - 27-36, 414 yds, 4 td, 0 int, 99 rush yds, 1 td Missouri (#8) -...

    The Krafts

    "Taking back their team" - yeah because letting Belichick run things was so terribly awful, it only led to Brady, nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Lombardis. I'm sure Jonathan can do as well as that.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Just a reminder on the stats - of course there's more to it than this but the numbers still say something: Williams: 68.6%, 3,633 yds, 9.4 y/a, 30 td, 5 int, 142 rush yds, 1.5 avg, 1 td Maye: 63.3%, 3,608 yds, 8.5 y/a, 24 td, 9 int, 449 rush yds, 4.0 avg, 9 td Daniels: 72.2%, 3,812 yds, 11.7...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Yeah. I guess my point is simply that as I've read a lot of people discuss this draft, opinions vary widely on who is better between Daniels and Maye. Personally I prefer Maye, but I've read a bunch of guys talk about preferring Daniels. So maybe it's all just nonsense. I don't think it is. I...

    Well they are in the business of generating clicks, right?

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I would assume that every NFL HC is pretty familiar with the top QBs in every draft class.

    Three day out check-in

    I want Maye. But if they draft him, I think we'd better be prepared for a few years of struggle before it clicks. First, because he's young (21) and second, because he still has a lot of adjustments to make. All the talent needed to be a great NFL QB is there with him. But he'll need time to...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Ah well I guess he made that one look so easy it seemed like he did it more!

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Makes sense but the shots I saw him hit were little baby hooks from about 6 feet that looked effortless, like he could do that all day. So yeah like I said I didn’t see the whole game at all so I’d his other shots were tough fadeaways then good job by Boston.

    Chris Martin's 2024 game log. Pretty great except for one horrendous outing. Guess which game I actually attended in person? LOL

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I think Wil Myers is still available. Only played 37 games last year (and just 77 the year before) but in 2022 he had a 106 ops+ and 1.1 bWAR. You probably could get him for basically nothing and there's a reasonable chance he's still a semi-decent major league player.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    In the few minutes I watched, Bam took Porzingis into the post and scored very easily numerous times in a row. As it was, he shot 10-18 for the game (56%). Why didn't he try to score more?
