    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I'm not 100% in either camp, but I don't understand taking the blue pill with hindsight. We know Jackson is a more valuable player, but we also know that he played a non-zero roll in a championship. So that championship is 100% probability in the do nothing scenario. If you replay that season...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Exactly. The pushback isn't that any of us individually don't like it, that's art. It's that there are clear misses for every imaginable target audience. They can't make everyone happy, but you've got to give someone what they are looking for. Pats fans: No need to rehash Pats haters...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I'm not surprised at the McCourty reaction either. Although I'll put that in the bucket of editorial choices I wish were different. However, the Harrison thing is unprofessional. You can choose to gloss over 2003-2006 if you want. But how do you pull in Rodney Harrison and Deion Branch for...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I waited until they were all up to binge. Many of these points have been made already in the thread but I share the complex feelings and confusion about this production. I absolutely loved the start. It had great context and quotes. There's nothing glaringly new, but the interviews gave a...

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    As someone who started watching in the 80's, thank you for the context. I've been struggling to find a prior Bruins team to even compare this to. I've seen many good-to-great teams, but I've never experienced this kind of depth. I've been wondering if this is what it looked like to fans of...

    Game 7 - Bruins v. Blues

    F. What a nut punch. Only positive is that the goalie and puck luck stole it. Little goonery and ref impact. I couldn't take a repeat of game 5.

    Game 7 - Bruins v. Blues

    Lurker shamelessly posting for membership. It worked for me a few years ago, but I only got the important part (the win) and most have been missed when attendance was taken.

    Kraft One-Ups Brady’s Departure

    I really don't get this approach. If preventing human trafficking is an important cause for you, you should be cheering legitimate efforts to tackle it but also denouncing efforts that cynically use it as a label for other purposes. Based only on information from police and prosecutors, this...

    For those of you who said they were cutting back or eliminating watching the NFL . . .

    Not sure if any of the choices apply. I used to watch all of the Pats games and at least one other game per week. Ballghazi was the trigger that caused me to take a hard look at what the nfl was doing. The logical position would have been to ditch the nfl entirely, but I've taken the morally...

    Best 2018 Red Sox postseason moments

    This is gold! These are perfect for rewatching, compared to the DVD sets which are a pretty big time commitment. Do any of these exist for 2013 (or, less likely, 2007/2004)?

    This is the best Red Sox team...ever.

    Could still be different, but the interview I'm referring to was also during the final postgame.

    This is the best Red Sox team...ever.

    In his defense, if it is the same interview I saw, he was responding to a statement from Fred Lynn saying that this was the best Sox outfield ever. I think he's wrong, but to me it sounded like typical elite athlete bravado combined with banter with a brother-in-arms rather than putting down...

    2018 Patriots UDFA News & Signings

    Did anyone else get a Bruschi flashback with this writeup? The New England Patriots selected Bruschi in the third round (86th overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft. Coming into the draft he was listed at 6'0 250 pounds and was considered too small to be a defensive end but was a good size to be a...
