    2023-24 Celtics

    I agree. The playoffs lead to the glory, but tearing through the regular season like this is really something g to appreciate. Some of those NBA championship teams would never have been able to maintain this level of dominance over the regular season

    The Red Sox Payroll Poll

    The results of this poll surprises me. This is the Red Sox. The fans are nuts. Success will result in financial multiples. Spend and crush. If the spending fails, the draft pick penalties will not be the main reason future teams fail or succeed. It will be because the tema did not sign...

    Hey, Let's Talk The Mookie Trade!

    I don't post often on this listserv. But when I do, I'm fucking right. This trade was an abomination, and all the what-about-the-luxury-tax bullshit was just that: cover for the owners pocketing our $ and trading away our only HOF player. Pay the f*#)@ng luxury tax and keep Mookie. It was so...

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    I hope they get something for BB and hire Brian Flores. Kinda like BB and the Browns, I think Flores' Dolphins' experience may help him become a better HC of NEP.

    Is it time to move on from BB?

    The way I see it, the fundamental question is whether the coach of the next Patriots Super Bowl winner is more likely to be BB or someone else? I am convinced it will not be BB. I have no loyalty to him and no fan of the Patriots should either at this point. All time run. He got paid...

    This team will never be any good until there is a new GM and coach

    Pats OTA Notes & Discussion

    FWIW, that Arizona field was a shit show during this year's Super Bowl. Grass can suck too. Hard to believe they can't engineer a safer surface than grass.

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    I just unfollowed the podcast. Hasn’t been good, and I doubt it gets better

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    Like he did with Parcells? That particular blank check over 4 years resulted in a 34-30 record with 2 playoff losses. It's really hard to get back to the SB when you get past your prime as a coach (and don't have a HoF QB). Rumor is that he already is, despite his mediocre record over the...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    In terms of being the greatest in the league, BB has lost it. T One metric is Career Approximate Value Over Expected (CAVOE). Check out the Patriots over the past ten years. Really good until 5 years ago, then not so much (2017 -15.4, 2018 -4.6, 2019 -24.4, 2020 -6.3, 2021 1.7)...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    I didn’t say he was a crap coach. I said he has been mediocre as the head of the Patriots for the past 3 years. He is in charge of everything. So if the team is mediocre, his performance is mediocre is too. Wow, he won 10 games with a rookie QB! Did you think that team had any chance of...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    What signs show you there is a path toward Super Bowl contention? To me, the #1 ingredient is talent, and BB has been mediocre or worse at drafting for over a decade now. Then #2 is coaching. Does this team seem well-coached to you? How many more years of "rebuilding" has he earned? In my...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    This is where I disagree. You can't say he's a hell of a coach and accept he has a mediocre record. He built this team and coaches it. So many dumb plays. So many uncompetitive games against quality opponents. And, if you are in total rebuilding mode, why do you overspend on Jonnu Smith...

    9slim knows what's up, that's for sure. Insightful rebuttal.
