    What I find fascinating is that BB is THE coach. Skilled and disciplined in scouting opponents, game preparation and play calling. His teams are always ready to play. He is a creative and thinks out the box but looks to identify the right timing to apply it during a game and season...

    2020 NFL Draft Day 3 Game Thread

    By track record, I mean his W-L record and Superbowl victories. By shake my head I mean many of his 2nd round DB and WR picks

    2020 NFL Draft Day 3 Game Thread

    Every year I shake my head at some of the Patriots draft picks and think is this the beginning of BB's decent into madness? Then I remember his track record and think he must be a mad genius.

    2020 Rotation

    I am holding out hope that there will be another trade in the future to help address this.

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    I agree with you that it would be concerning but the news reports are mostly from commentators using second hand sources that have agendas. This is a billion dollar industry run by professionals that aren't remotely influenced by the things that are brought up on this board. Most teams do...

    Yawkey Way now Jersey St again

    Renaming is an idea whose time has come. I am not in favor of naming after any individual and would prefer something that reflects baseball, Boston and acknowledges racism. Perhaps "Dream Way". If it came to choosing an individual then I am in the Pumpsie camp.

    2016 Starting Rotation/Bullpen Spillover

    I believe this ownership's priority is winning now while maintaining an eye on sustaining success over time. They will assess that SP is deep but not excessively so with an incomplete bullpen and DL stints a sure thing. Unless someone wows them or there is a package deal that helps them...

    Red Sox sign David Price

    This is dead on. Performance matters. Being able to benefit from performance is a tremendous incentive. Beyond being the cost of doing business and necessary to close the deal, I would bet DD did not worry about the contractual downside as he would have had that anyway without the opt out...
