    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    Well we can probably assume that option is not getting picked up and the buyout will be paid.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Hadn't heard that but it's a good point. Simmons and Rusillo apologize for bringing up the C's every time they mention them. The Celtics are the betting favorites for the title and have a historical net rating - it's ok to discuss them and admit they are good.

    Anchor Investment or Distressed Asset? Where the Red Sox Fit in the FSG Portfolio

    The Red Sox are a cash cow - an asset to be milked for profits with minimal additional investment, used to fund higher growth areas of the business.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Agree with a lot of what you say. But, they are not really “his” workers at this point. Spotify 100% owns the Ringer, and is a publicly traded company with $48 billion market cap. He sold out long ago, it’s a tough business…

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    That’s like getting “yes” and “no” mixed up. It does change the meaning slightly.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    For anyone that wants to do a deep dive on the Bill Simmons/JJ Reddick Beef and backstory (and I'm guessing that's a lot of us here in this fora) - here's a 50 minute podcast on the subject: Episode 50: EMERGENCY POD — Bill Simmons Lashes Out at JJ Redick

    Game Balls vs Chargers

    Related stat lifted from PP: “54 times this season a team has allowed 10 points or less. Those teams are a combined 51-3. The Pats are 1-3. Everyone else is 50-0.”

    Mac's Future

    How about as a bookend to Bledsoe’s “Cadillac in the garage” game when Bill dusted him off to win the ‘01 AFC Championship and help start a dynasty. Except this time Mac is a Pinto, comes in with a 10-6 lead and throws one final back footed pick-6 to ensure a top two draft pick.

    Celtics Rotation and Trade Needs Conversation

    I’m with the 3rd center crew. Yes it’s ridiculous depth compared to every other roster. But the C’s are most vulnerable to Milwaukee (Giannis), Sixers (Embiid) and Denver (Jokic) in the event of injury to KP or Al (both not reliable due to health and age) and all of a sudden you have Kornet...

    Larry Lucchino to sell the Worcester Red Sox to Diamond Baseball Holdings

    That’s two @Lose Remerswaal . Don’t let us get 3. We’d need to find a lawyer though.

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    Yup. The crazy thing is he made the same throw earlier in the game and it nearly got picked off too. No one should be making that throw, but certainty not Mac with his arm strength. The ball just floats and hangs in the air for an extra beat. That play is a visual that can’t be unseen.

    Pats sign JuJu Smith-Schuster

    Yeah Giardi was saying the same thing this am. He just has no burst or cutting ability. Seems like he’s got a degenerative knee issue. Maybe when Thornton is ready you put JuJu on IR to rehab for a few weeks and hope he comes back later in the year with some more pop.
