    Terry Coming Up Rozes

    There is growing agreement in the Cheesehead thread that lack of experience is hurting the Sixers. If that's true, doesn't it suggest that moving Rozier for a pick is a step back, at least in the back-up PG role, and also in whatever role that guy drafted fills? Irving & Hayward will bring...

    Terry Coming Up Rozes

    Could Rozier be moved at the deadline next season if Irving is clearly 100% and it is certain he will be around for several more years? Seems that type of calculation was made around here not too long ago.

    Rusty Staub (Le Grand Orange) RIP

    Before he moved his restaurant to Fifth Avenue, Rusty's was the place for ribs. On the Upper East Side of Manhattan, it was probably the first time I had baby back ribs.

    SBLII: Who's Gonna Win?

    How do you view red zone defense versus the third down defense outside of the red zone? I get the picking up a first down at mid field doesn't impact the score, but isn't it largely the same approach? If stats say a team is good at one but not at another, is that a sample size issue, statistical...

    The Mount Rushmore of....Athletes?

    For a while, Nicklaus went by the nicknames "Ohio Fats" and "Fat Jack." Of course, he had polio as a kid, and overcoming that is a victory that is hard to dimensionalize, even if it has nothing to do with athleticism. Obscurity of the professional side of the sport aside, can Kelly Slater be...

    SBLII: The Brady Watch

    While the distraction is a bit amusing (and I imagine it will end up as more of a distraction for Jacksonville than for New England), I think the real concern should be the impact on what Brady can do when he is on the field. It's still tough to imagine him not playing, so: Is his grip slightly...

    Jimmy G to 49ers for 2nd round pick

    The "insurance" Garappolo wasn't only to replace an injured Brady and lead the team to playoff victories. In fact, NE may not have seen it that way at all. The insurance is also to replace an injured Brady in the regular season, lead the team to the playoffs, and turn it back over to Brady. With...

    Arrests in Major NCAA College Basketball Probe

    Since Penn State, then followed by Montana/Baylor/Vanderbilt (with reminders that Nebraska - and likely countless unnamed others, including Binghamton -- enabled similar criminals), I have trouble getting worked up over this. While there were different levels of "official" culpability in the...

    Greg Bedard's - Boston Sports Journal

    I have to wonder if they've given any thought to joining with "The Athletic," who are now in SF, Chi, Cle, Det, Min, Phi, Stl, Pit. I tried a test subscription for Chicago, then realized I wasn't really reading it, so I didn't roll it over. But access to good stuff written in other cities ought...

    SoSH Fantasy Hockey - 2021-2022

    How do we pay? And is the GWG category likely to change here, as well? And thanks for running both these leagues.

    RMPS Fantasy Hockey (2021-2022)

    Looks like a change in the settings. No more GWG, now we've got SOG? Not offering an opinion (though I like it) just confirming.

    August/September 2017 NHL News

    PTOs are for 25 days. Does anyone know when the clock starts? Training camps start roughly 22 or 23 days before the start of the season, so if it begins with camp, every PTO extends into the regular season. For the Chcago Blackhawks, who need to put Hossa on LTIR after the season starts in...

    30 for 30

    If I remember it right, Mad Dog had a background in "news" and thus was supposed to be the interviewer. Mike was the fact guy, as the show launched. Then it turned out they were both good at the other thing. I listened all the time (even listened to Lampley's "Take a Sports Break") and they...

    In two years, there would have been no way to re-sign Hammer or Breadman. Saad and Murphy are signed for 4 & 5 years, respectively. It seems Chicago's decided their $10 million Captain can't produce without a $5 million + wing, while their $10 million wing should still be able to produce with...

    McPhee and Loathing in Las Vegas: The Expansion Draft

    I think MAF's NMC is waived for the expansion draft only. Vegas can't move him elsewhere without his approval. I think.

    McPhee and Loathing in Las Vegas: The Expansion Draft

    There's word the deal with Pitt was in place a while ago. The supposed Chicago deal also seemed in place shortly after they were out. I wonder if non-Vegas teams will find out that moving early was a benefit -- especially if that "Pledge" talk is true. Pitt & Chi had clear objectives -- it's...

    For Chicago, it's not about protecting players as much as it is shedding salary - namely Kruger. If this happened a month ago, they still couldn't protect TVR, and he is seemingly the price to get Vegas to take Kruger.

    McPhee and Loathing in Las Vegas: The Expansion Draft

    And it is essentially a cool stove dream come true -- what's fair value, or slightly over fair value, to not mess with whatever plan is in place. "Take Brossoit and Rust, and Hayes, send the first two to Boston, and we'll give you our first round pick." McPhee has to respond "I can get a...

    If they trade one, don't they still have to expose the other, or Zucker?
