    Potential new NFL rules

    I’ve generally not been too reactionary about safety rule changes, because they seem to get integrated fairly quickly into the game, and I don’t end up noticing most of them(with roughing the QB being a big exception), but this one feels different. It’s almost to the point where if a defender is...

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

    I don't think the issue is whether the sport would survive, it would. It's that if a player is involved in a federal crime(s) involving illegal gambling, the league has to take action. For obvious reasons of trust, so that fans, and legal bettors, think the games are on the up and up. The whole...

    Potential new NFL rules

    The proposed hip drop tackle ban is reactionary nonsense, because of a handful of semi-freakish injuries. And will be an enforcement cluster fuck if passed. The kickoff proposal I’m mostly meh about. They’ve already legislated out the most exciting play in the sport, so may as well try something...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Gronk coming out swinging in defense/praise of BB. Doesn’t really address the documentary directly(at least in the article) but have to think it spurred these comments. Feels like we’re going see more of this. Would be very curious to see if Kraft does any clean up...

    2004 WS Celebration

    Now, see Curt Schilling belted with a pillowcase full of baseballs night would probably juice up ticket tales on an august night, when they’re likely out of contention. I’d go.

    2004 WS Celebration

    Opening day seems like the perfect day to honor both the Wakefields, and the 2004 championship. Both were absolutely happening at some point this season, and are neither ticket sales ploys, nor an attempt to deflect from the current state of the ball club, FFS. As per Schilling, regardless of...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    Draft whichever Qb is available at 3. They’ve already structured things with the JB signing so that guy can largely sit and learn in 2024. I’d tend to lean towards Maye, but would be fine with taking Daniels as well. Use the rest of their capital to address OL, receiver, TE, and defensive depth...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Why, after getting a clear directive from the league, did you tape one more time from an illegal location? Was it worth the bullshit it brought upon the franchise?

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I find the notion that Butler being benched directly cost them a championship to be revisionist, hyperbolic and reactionary. And I was mystified and pissed off by it as well. But that defense sucked, he had a sub par year and playoff, IIRC, and by no means was he a huge impact player. I think...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Good lord, saw Krafts quote about Butler not playing in the Super Bowl. What an insufferable old fool. Attention whore. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s burned some bridges with Bill over this shit.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yeah, I’m not in any hurry to subscribe to ATV+ and watch this now. Too many rumblings from too many places about the agenda of it. Maybe if it shows up on YouTube at some point.

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    We’re not supposed to wish for injuries here, right…………?

    Patriots sign Austin Hooper

    Dammit. I also liked what I saw from Brown, and wanted to see more with a competent QB. Makes the Hooper signing more important and understandable, particularly from a blocking standpoint. Now go grab a developmental guy in the draft.

    Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars

    He faced a couple more obstacles than is ideal for a young developing QB, with the Patricia and Judge shit show. But even that also ended up being very telling about his inability to overcome adversity, and his piss poor attitude in the process. The fools gold of that stretch of good games in...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Well, this is wonderful news. As bad and uninspired as the FOs approach to roster building has been the last couple of years, they have been absolutely snake-bit on the injury front. I really thought adding Snell or Montgomery to the staff as it existed before this news would only get them to...
