    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Pleasantly surprised by this team so far. Very watchable with the speed/youth. I think they got a little bit tired of reading how bad they were supposed to be. O'Neil seems like a prick and I love it. Take 2 out of 3 in OAK and I'm in for the duration.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I'll take it a step further and say that for me, this Celtics iteration represents the last remnants of the 2001 to 2018 Boston sports dynasty.

    NBA All-Star Game Weekend 2024 with Dunks, Skills, 3 Point Competitions, ASG: Hooiser Daddy?

    Hot take: the celebrity game will end up being the best event of the weekend (although the Sabrina/Steph dual was cool). Have all professional Allstar experiences gone to shit? I didn't watch the NHL festivities

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    I hate to dump on Greenlaw, but he had already almost fallen onto the field trying to stop himself from going on early. You'd figure that would have been a sign to calm down and stop jumping up and down.

    Rest in Peace, DaveRoberts'Shoes

    Always looked for his avatar after an injury, and he would often offer humorous insights from the games. Always good-natured; can't recall any pissing matches with anyone. . And a doctor. Shit. And my goofy ass is still here. Genuine thoughts, prayers, and reflection.

    Wild Card Weekend

    it's all about the second half (obviously) Does the young team crumble in the moment? Or does Dallas it's 28-3 moment

    I could see Jerry doing something rash after this.
