    To err is human; three errors is the Red Sox: the defense thread.

    Given that during the past two years the Sox have established themselves as the most fundamentally unsound team in MLB through terrible defense, unbelievably poor base-running and a general lack of understanding of game situations, all of which are coachable, how is it that Cora seems to get a...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Zincman on SoSH asked: Here's a little game to play. Every year there are the top 5 QBs (whether they suck or not).

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Now I have always regarded @Cellar-Door as an outstanding poster and I am always interested in his take on things but as a former teacher of formal logic, his citing of an argumentum ad verecundiam just got me all aflutter.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Sticking to one's convictions should not be dismissed as one's only alternative. It's more a measure of character. It's more rare than we are willing to admit to and truly rare in the NFL.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    What also may be true is that BB put his coaching life on the line in support of Brady. If it had gone sideways, he might have ended up on the scrap heap of two-time losers, unlikely to ever get another shot. This was a matter of extreme conviction because there was a safe route to take....but...

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    @FermSheller is absolutely correct. How dumb to forget an OT. Now we'll have to trade one of 120 1st round picks we have. BTW who is this Mac you speak of?

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    I made a bunch of savvy trades on one of those sites and came up with the following draft Round 1-Lawrence Taylor LB North Carolina Round 2-Jim Brown-RB-Syracuse Round 3-John Hanaah OG-Alabama Round 4-Randy Moss-WR-Marshall Round 5-Dick Butkus-ILB-Illinois Round 6-Thomas Brady-QB-Michigan Round...

    Here's a little game to play. Every year there are the top 5 QBs (whether they suck or not). Taking the top 5 for the last 4 years where would you place the projection of this years top 5 (Williams, Maye, Daniels,Nix and Penix) and rank the entire group 1.Young 2.Stroud 3. Richardson 4.Levis...

    Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers

    Gee, I hope not. Because if he did BC gave a degree to the dumbest F**k I have ever seen who has decided to piss this game away single-handedly. You don't think he's been talking to Rick Kuhn?

    What is next for BB?

    I'm 79 yrs old. I saw Butch Songin QB the BOSTON Patriots. I saw a game in Harvard Stadium. I saw a game at Nickerson Field. I froze my ass off sitting on the metal bleachers at Schaefer Stadium all the while dodging beer cans and trying to stay out of the weekly melees that punctuated the...

    What is next for BB?

    Perhaps there are "sine qua nons" that Bill feels he cannot operate without. Full control is not at issue because that ship has sailed for everybody and it seems reasonable that Bill knows that. It may be as simple as hiring staff that he feels comfortable with, or how much or how little...

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    I don't have their High School and PeeWee stats to back me up, so I'm afraid you have caught me in a moment of snarky exaggeration. But I still don't like the comp. And you may very well be right....Maye will develop into a true dual threat who frightens opponents with both arm and legs. The...

    What is next for BB?

    But some are better at it than others. No small sample size for McKay. As The Tuna would say, "you are what your record says you are." And McKay's record is classic "meh". But he always has a HC and GM to blame.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    Does anyone understand what a monster Josh Allen is? Maye has some run in him but comparing him to Allen in any way as a runner is folly.

    OTOH, if you take a swing and miss at #3, you actually have a decent chance at drafting in the top3 again.
