    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    reading this thread, knowing the experience and knowledge so many of you bring to the table, ive never been so depressed to have the #3 pick in the draft. :(

    What is next for BB?

    sure…this is a nuanced and thoughtful response, as much as needed in this squamous forum. van everyman didnt say that. He offered the SOSH equivalent of “that’s mid, bro”. So i wont give him extra credit. I think that BB, as the de facto CEO of the most successful multi-billion dollar sports...

    What is next for BB?

    This seems kind of dismissive, no?

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Oh i know. I love that book. but that was about steve B, right. i wish he could have written another now…. Edit: can’t imagine the bastard college student who fucked up and killed him accidentally. What a sad life. Halberstam was one of the absolute greats. Anyone who could write Best and the...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    What i didnt add, but should have, is that these two men (Kraft aside for the moment) were also two of the smartest competitors to do it. There is no story of BB which does not acknowledge, even if the teller dislikes him, that he is a football savant. There are coaches, there are winning...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I like this take as much or more than any on this thread. And deep down it’s a shame they couldnt have captured this dynamic in vitro, rough and smooth, raw and cooked. These were two of the greatest competitors to ever play and succeed in the NFL. And they did it for a generation. for the...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    it maybe a silly thought, but i wish BB had continued wearing his signature slashed hoody/emperor palpatine style. He looked distinctly uncomfortable, especially in the thickly knotted tie; and it just isnt him. Brady got to dress like a quarterback. BB should dress like a hobo/greatest coach of...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    any and all dissatisfaction with the last few years—i would say two, not five, but fair minds can diverge—is not unjustified at all. BB made some very uncharacteristic mistakes, and made some very questionable decisions. For a lesser coach, these would lead to rapid dismissal—and no one would...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    i am not new here, but your point is well-taken. That line was cruel, albeit well-written. I shall avoid such in future days. edit: i see that I am new here after all. Thank you to whomever made me a member. Im unworthy. Been here since 2003, when I taxed the servers with everyone else during...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    this line of mewling is absurd. It’s no surprise that you are tired of “trying to outsmart people”, as you say in the Zappe thread—thinking is not your métier. it shall inevitably be the season of BB-haters to whinge and complain now that “mean bad man gone”. That’s their right. But he didn’t...

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    One of my great thrills of the past few years for me: learning who Kaskade and Tiësto are, and then learning that two of the coolest guys in the world are my age. I feel renewed and even reanimated. Thank you, SOSH.

    Is Mac Jones the biggest bust in Patriots history?

    I don’t fully agree. BB is occasionally rude, but is more often curt and gruff, and sometimes warm and expansive, with the media. No he doesn’t make their jobs easier, but they would never make his job easier, either. and I know you are captain positives and butterflies, and you got to write...

    NFL: News and transactions

    I can’t speak to Brees’ case, and one of our doctors can explain it properly, but… for me it’s been a combination of restricted range of motion (following surgical repair) and general instability after time passed. Throwing overhand (or swinging a racket) is no longer possible without...
