    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Trade down with me. Feels safer. It’s scary out there.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    My understanding is that analytics determined that pitchers could get increased speed on pitches by taking a longer time between pitches to gear up to throw as hard as possible, and that such a way of working was a better way to get batters out than working more quickly with perhaps less effort...

    The Krafts

    If Jonathan Kraft has exactly the same degrees and work experience (so, conceding a fair amount of benefit derived from his family connections already), but isn’t his father’s son, and the Kraft Family’s gifts to Partners don’t add up to about $20 million or so, what are the odds that he’s on...

    The Krafts

    I think that I said that I see a difference, and that I think you’ve got things precisely backwards. I also said that I’d be happy to read your explanation to the contrary, which is now on its third vague, “But that’s completely different!” unexplained iteration. But I’ll continue with my view...

    The Krafts

    What’s the chasm if you know the other potential employer personally? I’d say that the public documentary—that your production team made—is actually far more aggressive than talking to Blank directly, but I’m willing to listen to your explanation for why it’s actually the other way around instead.

    The Krafts

    How different in kind are the allegations in Wickersham’s article from how Belichick is portrayed in The Dynasty? Seems like lots of players think that Belichick got done dirty there.

    Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? :)

    Jack Edwards to retire

    I don’t know if I’m reading into anything, but it really seemed like everyone who was on the ice with him for the 7th Player award—with the exception of Frederic himself—had a ton a genuine affection for the guy. So your story doesn’t surprise me. Seems to have a good sense of right and wrong...

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

    Interesting question. When Ortiz got shot, I vaguely recall there being an undercurrent that he was maybe involved in some shit, given some of the initial atmospherics. If anything, I think that the respect that people seem to have for Ohtani is leading them to a little, “How the fuck did he not...

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    I love when Torts’s fake hardass bullshit backfires.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    If they overthink goaltending for the third time in four years to attempt to talk themselves into some bullshit conventional wisdom that is anything but, rather than plain as day common sense or what has actually worked really, really well for the past two years, I might be done with this team...

    Because shootouts are completely ridiculous. 3-3 barely less so. The loser point recognizes this, while also providing timely finality. You’ve offered nothing but status quo bias in support of your position. This is just a different—yet similarly arbitrary—way of effecting certain motivations.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This is, like, a pretty fucking awesome post. We should all be so self-aware.
