    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Isn't it also kind of as simple as QBs picked as high as 1 bust all the time, and top 10 WR/LT picks generally don't? I get that that logic goes out the window if you're trading all the way back to 11 and staying there, but history would suggest that MHJ is a much safer prospect than Drake Maye...

    What is next for BB?

    The Krafts turning out to be utter embarrassments is maybe the most surprising part of the end of the run for me. Straight out of the FSG playbook trashing beloved guys on the way out. I feel like they’ve deeply miscalculated the degree to which bill is a god in New England and if anything...

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    Yeah I’ve never understood the hate for the white helmet jet uniforms, they could have stood to be modernized, but the 90s jets look is very arena football to me. also I think the collars on these look horrible haha

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I don't disagree with your general point - that truly elite QBs will contend more consistently that merely good ones on great teams. That seems like kind of a foregone conclusion, the position has the most potential to singlehandedly elevate a team, and it seems likely that keeping 1 great...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Tampa Tom experience bummed me out a lot, but at this point if you wouldn't love to seem him hoist a Lombardi in SF, I dunno. I could honestly talk myself into it making sense for a New England return, too.

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Feels as simple to me as "is Bronny up for the ridicule he's going to get if it means playing in the NBA/playing in the NBA with his dad?" If yes, I don't really see any problem with this. Lebron is still valuable enough on the court and in getting asses in seats to be worth two roster spots...

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I kind of feel like (if you think the shootout is gimmicky and a problem) the solution is simple - 3 points for a "pure" win, 2 points for a SO win, 1 point for a SO loss. Every game worth the same total 3 points, and the shootout counted less than winning outright. (I'd probably be inclined to...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    You and me both, man. At least with TB it was just about the end. Much harder to stomach with perhaps a literal decade of prime left at the time of the deal (and to go for a low value return centerpieced by an asshole). Irreversible damage to my enjoyment of the game.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I’m coming around to wanting them to trade back to the Giants pick if Maye isn’t there. The low ceiling take on Daniels is incredibly depressing. At 6 you’re looking at multiple of Nabers, Odunze, Alt, and McCarthy still there and you’ve acquired extra draft capital to take a safer pick or at...

    The Fenway Park Experience

    Eliminating capacity would only make ticket prices balloon at a rate beyond what they already have. Feels like a nonstarter to me on that point alone. That said, I'm on the Fenway forever bandwagon - it's just not nearly bad enough that losing the charm and history would be worth it. Modernize...

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    He was easy to rag on when it seemed like he was the face of the gimmicky stuff in a time where baseball still could and should have been selling out the park, but when he hit he hit really well. The 100 year celebration comes to mind - absolutely masterfully done.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I was so disappointed and mad about how last season ended, I didn’t follow the offseason at all. Within a week? two? of opening night I was fully back on board. Even with the shine of the first couple months a bit worn by the post break slump and the OT woes, this team has been fun as hell...

    Patriots sign WR KJ Osborn

    Pretty decent player, definitely like the signing if the money is right. They desperately need someone better than Bourne, but more receivers at Bourne's (healthy) level is not a bad thing for this roster as it stands right now.

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    The Steelers made the playoffs last year with a qb situation nearly as bad as us. I’m pretty low on Fields (I think he’s only deep playoff run interesting on an SF level roster that wants to play ground and pound on offense, which is to say he’s not the difference maker himself), but I love this...
