    Will you be watching the NFL playoff game on Peacock?

    It was free, but now they want $2.99 a month extra for 12 months. After that, they'll presumably increase prices.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Gutted. My favorite player for years, and an inspiration to everyone in how he reshaped his career and adapted. When the Sox visited Walter Reed, my brother was there recuperating. Of all the sports figures and notables that visited, my brother speaks highest of him, and the personal time he...

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

    He and his wife welcomed a kid recently, iirc. Could just be paternity leave.

    The Ringer

    I really don't have much of a reason to listen to Ringer NFL's feed with Kevin gone now. I really like Nora and Lindsey Jones, but Sheil and Solak aren't fun to listen to no matter how intelligent they are. And Ruiz has never been my cup of tea. I'll absolutely agree that the Fantasy show is...

    The Ringer

    Rob Harvilla and Fennessey guesting on Bandsplain to talk the Judgment Night soundtrack today. Real funny rapport on this one, even if I can't stand Yasi Salek at times.

    If nothing else, Fred needs to get off social media. He's got the worst people responding in the worst ways whenever he posts something, as cryptic as this is.

    The Ringer

    What a re-entry point for the pod, this is going to ruin my productivity today. RE: the companion book, Rob's narrative style from the podcast matches what I remember from his stints at Deadspin, so it should be an awesome read.

    This is the most likely reason, but crazy conjecture is what fuels discussion of this show on social media and this thread.

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    The crowd pop for that catch was insane

    It's well trod ground at this point, but Rich and Johnston talking about The Villages at the end of the 8am hour killed me. Having Roche there to make uncomfortable sweetens the pot.

    Triple screening these two WBC games and the Celtics. Great sports night.
