    NFL Free Agency Game Thread: Rumors! News! Uneducated Guesses!

    That will always be a bit of a mystery for me. Bailey went from being all world to dumpster within two cycles. I wonder what the backstory is?

    James Robinson to Pats

    Waller was already married. (See Kinder, Ellis ad Mcdermott, Maury)

    Pats sign JuJu Smith-Schuster

    Sony Michel? 31 counts as a first (barely). Edit; RG33 got there first. Arthritic hands move slowly, if at all.

    NFL Free Agency Game Thread: Rumors! News! Uneducated Guesses!

    Ed the Fireman has his bullhorn warmed up. This is not a forgiving audience, and he's a prickly guy by all reports.

    2023 QB Carousel

    Sid Luckman? Johnny Lujack? (I know, I'm old. What time is Jeopardy on?)

    Red Sox extend Devers—11 years, $332 million

    They'd been working on this continuously, so I'd guess completed not start to finish. Edit; What Red October said (pre-emptively)

    Red Sox extend Devers—11 years, $332 million

    Slo-Pitch presser so far. I wonder if there were some off-mike ground rules for staying on topic.

    Red Sox extend Devers—11 years, $332 million

    I yield to Ale Xander

    Red Sox extend Devers—11 years, $332 million

    Werner looks like he's suffering gastric distress while Kennedy and Bloom throw posies to everyone down to the guy selling Italian hots outside the bandbox.

    Trevor Story had surgery on his right UCL and is expected to miss time

    Is there any basis for this, other than confirmation bias? Seriously.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Induces projectile vomiting. It might be worth it if only to enjoy the sight of Shank’s head splitting open.

    2022 Patriots in-season news and moves thread

    Well, at least the grievance will force BB to tell what the supposed rationale is. If this is just a charade to void the balance of the contract, BB will get whacked. Perhaps this will force Kraft’s hand in dealing with him.

    Marcus Jones role going forward

    I wonder how his speed on offense affects Jones’ performance. Is there any data set that demonstrates that Jones is more effective when he has Marcus on the field? (I know, there are a million variables that can affect it, but it’s worth asking if Jones is a better qback when he has Marcus as a...

    Franco Harris dies

    I grew up in New England and began watching pro football in the 1940s, with Otto Graham, Dante Lavelli and the AAFC, pre-merger. Since we didn't have an NFL team in the region - the Boston Yanks were gone by then post merger - the networks piped the NY Giants games in on Sunday. I quickly...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    This may have been answered elsewhere, so if its repetitious, my apologies. It is tangential to rumors, so if it belongs elsewhere, please let me know. The opt out device has taken hold on the player side, and it injects a note of uncertainty into team planning. Has any team countered with a...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Enough to offset any gratitude you might feel for supporting your parents during a very difficult time? Come on - this isn't just 'it was nice of John Henry to lend me a car while they were here.' My impression is that h's acted like a guy looking for payback since he left here. But we'll...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Short digression: I know Lucchino low balled him in the final negotiation, but going back to when he was so ill, he really praised the organization for their support, and particularly for how the RS extended themselves for his parents, when they came to Boston during his treatment. But since he...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    I agree with that. I think Kraft learned his lesson with the 'press corner'/Pete Carroll fiasco. Don't get too far into the weeds. However, one thing to keep an eye on is the Kraft succession issue. RK is now 82-83 (I forget his birthday but he was close to being a peer of friends from...

    Yankees must win for Red Sox to get passion again!

    Unfortunately, Tsar George wasn’t alive to rant about ‘spitting the bit’ and firing the entire baseball and admin staffs.
